in hive-184714 •  3 years ago 


The Game Awards took place and many good games were presented. I wish you time and hardware for them now!



ECLIPSE


Star Wars Eclipse is a game. From the on line trailer , I thought it was a movie or a cartoon, but it's a game. It is set in the High Republic period, which fulfills an older wish for me: action in a peak period of the Republic, with Jedi, Sith and many other elements, not the rather austere period of the Empire and the Resistance.

It is not clear what kind of game it will be and what gameplay it will have. We all hope for some kind of KOTOR, of course. The game is in early development, it will be many years before it is released.


DUNE: SPICE WARS


I was planning an article on how cool it would be to make new Dune games, if the recent movie was popular and there is new interest in Herbert's universe. Dune 2, released in 1992, was an iconic game, will go down in history as the game that led to the rise of the genre of real-time strategy. I remember it as a frustrating game in that you couldn't select more than one unit at a time, plus it didn't have the classic right mouse click commands now. But no, in his day he was very good.

And I didn't write this article because Dune: Spice Wars is a future game in the Dune universe. The game is presented as an RTS with 4X elements, ie real-time strategy with Civilization style elements. 4X means Explore, Expand, Exploit, Exterminate and Civilization is the best example. Let's hope it's good. It already has a Steam page, launching in 2022.





PUBG GETS FREE


On January 12, 2022, so we have one more month until then. It usually costs $ 30, but the developers will offer it for free, probably because it is old and will attract new players. PUBG is still popular, it has updates, beautiful matches. Try it when it gets free.


FINAL FANTASY 7 REMAKE INTEGRADE ON PC


Enter the Epic Store on December 16th. If you haven't played the original or the exclusive PlayStation remake so far, now is your chance to get to know the iconic Cloud, Sephiroth or Aeris characters.


HOMEWORLD 3


Another iconic game gets a sequel. Homeworld was a high-level strategy, with spaceships, 3D bands and real tactics. It was hard, but satisfying. Homeworld 3 appears in the 4th quarter of 2022, so maybe we'll play it in a year.


ALAN WAKE 2


Alan Wake 2 will be released in 2023. I haven't played the first game either, so I don't know if I've lost anything good or not. Did I? The trailer is online.


ELDEN RING


Elden Ring took the prize for the most anticipated game and released a new trailer. It appears on February 25, 2022, if I remember correctly.


WARHAMMER 40K Space Marine 2


It has potential. Hack and slash shooter, meaning a kind of SF combined with fantasy, like the Warhammer 40K universe.
