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

    • Google reshuffles its AI coding team as it struggles to catch Anthropic by Karthik Mudaliar Google is already reorganizing the AI coding “strike team” it created roughly two months ago, as it attempts to find ways to close the gap with Anthropic in one of generative AI’s most commercially important areas. According to The Information, Google DeepMind is expanding the team’s focus to include “midtraining,” rather than concentrating only on coding tools and agents. Midtraining takes place after a model’s broad initial training but before the final stages that prepare it to follow instructions and perform specific tasks. In simple terms, it gives developers another opportunity to expose a model to carefully selected data before it is polished for release. That could help Google improve Gemini’s underlying coding abilities instead of relying only on better prompts, interfaces, or post-training. Previous research has found that midtraining can be particularly effective for code and mathematics, where models must move from general language knowledge to more structured tasks. Google reportedly created the original strike team in April. It was led by Google DeepMind research engineer Sebastian Borgeaud, who previously worked on model pretraining, and focused on complex, long-running programming jobs. Google co-founder Sergey Brin and Google DeepMind chief technology officer Koray Kavukcuoglu were also reportedly involved in the effort. DeepMind researchers were said to believe that Anthropic’s coding tools were outperforming Google’s Gemini models, prompting the company to give the project more attention. Anthropic has made coding a central part of its AI strategy through Claude Code and its Claude model family. The company has continued improving that area, with Claude Opus 4.8 offering upgrades for coding and other agentic tasks, along with the now-unavailable Mythos and Fable models. The reshuffle also comes at a time when Google faces increased competition for AI researchers. Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer recently announced that he was leaving Google for OpenAI, while two other researchers who contributed to Gemini and DeepMind projects are reportedly preparing to join Anthropic. It remains unclear whether the reorganized team will produce a new public Gemini model or developer product. No release date, team size, or specific performance target has been disclosed.
