Games we are looking forward to in 2014


Recommended Posts

Already bought, salivating in anticipation:

Pillars of Eternity, by far the game I'm most excited for since Starcraft 2.

 

Probably going to buy:

Thief. I just love that series, been waiting for a new installement since Deadly Shadows. Definitely buying and playing it unless it gets destroyed in reviews.

Dark Souls 2 - loved the art style of the first, but haven't actually played it that much. I'll probably give this one a try.

 

Finally, not planning to buy but still mildly curious about:

The Witcher 3 - tried both 1 and 2, never really got into them; I found the story confusing in the first, and too political in the second. Still, it's hard not to be impressed by the scope the 3rd game seems to be aiming for.

Dragon Age: Inquisition: not expecting much from it really, but I'm curious to see how it turns out.

 

All on PC of course.

PC:

Witcher 3

Warmachine Tactics

Divinity: Original Sin

Predestination

Limit Theory

Sui Generis

Pillars of Eternity

Wasteland 2

 

PS4:

Infamous: Second Son

Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition (chose over PC for in-room co-op and no always on internet requirement)

NHL 15

Rock Band 4

Witcher 3

Final Fantasy Lightning Returns

Atelier Escha & Logy

Watch Dogs

The next Ar Tonelico Game

Kingdom Hearts 3

 

Not sure if it will come out this year

Wii U's Monolith "X" game

*Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six. Wow can't believe they are actually doing a remake of this classic FPS. I loved this game and hope they don't mess it up. 

Woah woah weres the source for this?!!  Which RS?  My boy Ding lives to fight again!  Oh god they'll make it for console I bet. :(

 

As for me:

> Routine (http://www.routinegame.com/)  Sadly their developers aren't talking so not looking good atm

> GTAV PC

> Half-Life 3 :P

> South Park Stick of Truth

> Trespassing (http://trespassingpetrolia.com/)

There isn't a remake AFAIK. The only RS announced is Patriots and it has been delayed and rebooted at least once during the course of development.

Diablo 3 Expansion. I think that the removal of the AH, rebalancing of item drops, new class, new act, and skill points at the top level should make the game quite a bit better.  Blizzard seems to be at least trying to address what players concerns are. 

 

I was looking forward to Elder Scrolls Online, but I'm less confident about that one being a hit now.

 

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth

    • I was expecting the end of the world to happen before this game or elder scroll 6 to come out.
    • OpenAI and Broadcom unveil Jalapeño, a new AI chip built for LLM inference by Pradeep Viswanathan Image by OpenAI Thanks to the exponential growth of ChatGPT and other LLM-based applications, NVIDIA has grown from a $200 billion company into the first public company to reach a $5 trillion market cap. Even though hyperscalers such as Google and Amazon have their own mature AI accelerators, NVIDIA still dominates the AI infrastructure market with multiple generations of GPUs. Microsoft, OpenAI, and Meta remain among NVIDIA’s largest customers, while Google and Amazon continue to be significant NVIDIA customers as they serve AI workloads for customers on their cloud platforms. Today, OpenAI and Broadcom announced Jalapeño, OpenAI’s first custom “Intelligence Processor” designed specifically for large language model inference. The new chip is the first product from a multi-generation compute platform being developed by OpenAI. OpenAI highlighted that Jalapeño was built from the ground up for current and future LLM workloads, rather than being a general-purpose accelerator adapted for AI. Despite heavy competition from Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and others, ChatGPT remains the most used AI platform in the world. OpenAI mentioned that it leveraged its knowledge of how its models and products run at scale, including ChatGPT, Codex, the API, and future agentic AI systems, to design this new chipset. Its chip architecture reduces data movement while balancing compute, memory, and networking resources. Jalapeño will be deployed in production systems starting in late 2026; however, engineering samples are already running machine learning workloads in OpenAI’s labs at production target frequency and power. According to its internal testing, OpenAI claims this chip can deliver “substantially better” performance per watt, and a detailed technical report is expected in the coming months. While OpenAI designed the chip, Broadcom handled silicon implementation and networking technologies, including Tomahawk networking silicon, and Celestica is assisting with board, rack, and system-level integration. OpenAI pointed out that Jalapeño went from initial design to manufacturing tape-out in just nine months, which it claims is the fastest ASIC development cycle achieved for a high-performance advanced semiconductor. The company attributed the speed of development to its own LLMs, which were used during the chip design and optimization process. Broadcom CEO Hock Tan stated that the company's plan is to deploy the Jalapeño platform at a gigawatt scale with Microsoft and other partners starting in 2026. With Jalapeño, OpenAI joins Google, Microsoft, and Amazon to become a full-stack AI player. The company already develops models and products, and is now moving deeper into infrastructure, including chips, kernels, networking, scheduling, and deployment systems.
    • I'm aware. That information should have been included in the article, making it more complete and information.

    • Regarding the AI photo, I LOVE AI in that regard, you ask it what you want and it gives you a lovey photo in under a minute, that would taken me an hour to make in photoshop and it wouldn't have looked nearly as good. 2 nights ago I spent a couple hours collaborating with AI.  I did not say write me an article. I would write one or 2  paragraphs, then I would ask it to clean it up so it read better but still keeps the information I was trying to convey.  Rinse repeat.
