What are your five most desired upcoming online games?

Aeander

Title should be pretty self-explanatory.

 

For most here, MMORPG's will no doubt dominate their lists, though you don't have to limit it to that. Simply pick your five, regardless of their genre, and give an explanation as to why you want them.

 

 

(Mine)

 

1. Gigantic (MOBA/ARTS)

This title packs a gorgeous Okami-esque art style along with an exciting third person combat system that could be described as "Smite, but better." Its combination of control points with player-selected team bosses is a refreshing change of pace for the genre, and its focus on adding mechanics to your abilities instead of buying items could shake things up big time. 

 

2. Everquest Next (MMORPG)

From its charming Disney-esque aesthetic to its stage blocks and dynamic events, EQN is a game that seems to be almost tailor-made for my preferences. Almost. I just hope that the combat and content can hold up.

 

3. Overwatch (Team FPS)

Combines the MOBA philosophy of pre-built character classes with the mobility and fast pace of a FPS. Its character designs are quirky and its trailer provided a hefty dose of Pixar-esque goodness. This one would be higher if Gigantic didn't look to be this and so much more.

 

4. Moonlight Blade (MMORPG)

I love Wuxia games. I hate Wuxia budgets. So far, every martial arts MMO has been a poorly done game by a company without the resources to back it. A glance at Moonlight Blade's gameplay footage or screenshots will reveal impressive graphics and a satisfying art style. More importantly, the game boasts a combat system that brings in all the fluidity of a console hack and slash title - like TERA, but without the movement locking on abilities. Couple this with naval content and various other in-development features, and you've got a title with a lot of potential. And that's what this one is - potential. If I see that potential become a reality and it gets a North American release announcement, I'd bump this one up in the ranks.

 

5. Lost Ark (Dungeon crawler + possible MMO)

This one is a strange one. I tend to dislike Asian-made games (which also contributes to the weirdness of something like Moonlight Blade being on my list) and I also tend to hate dungeon crawlers for their repetitive grind-based gameplay and gender-locking. Lost Ark, however, appears to be an impressive title with a lot of cinematic value and an exciting combat system. There has also been talk of open world areas akin to those of a standard MMO, which would be fascinating to experience in this genre. If its substance is as good as its flair, Lost Ark will be incredible.

Nothing really catches my eye at all for upcoming. If i had to choose i'd be waiting for Black Desert and EQNext(kinda). Division too but after Watch Dogs i have 0 hype for Division.

SoloAnything

Nothing to look forward for me but I will check this post again as I would like to see what others are waiting for.

edit: on main page where it says Top Voted Games - Development, I see nothing to catch my eye at all and that list has been the same for long long time.

Nothing in the near future that I can think of, maybe finally some GTA V multiplayer on the PC, skipped out on it on the PS3 because of server issues.

 

In the not-so-near future:

1. Camelot Unchained

2. Star Citizen Persistent Universe

3. Tree of Savior

4. Phantasy Star Online 2 (if they ever bring it to the west)

5. I guess Everquest Next or a really polished release version of Shroud of the Avatar

Nitth

1. Fallout 4 (which may or maynot be coming.)
2. EQN
3. Torment: TON
4. Zelda U
5 Elderscrolls 7.

This is kind of where I am at too. 

 

When I read the thread title I went WTF there are five or more MMO's coming out in the next 12 months?  After reading the OP I get the message that it is a broader net than that.  So I read through the posts and it confirmed my feeling that there is not one upcoming game that I am interested in.   So while I like EQ2 less and less that is probably what I will be playing all next year.

Boneserino

I generally look back for my games, not forward. 

 

Right now I have:

 

-Fallen Earth

-Project Gorgon

-SWToR

-LOTRO

-TSW

-Earth and Beyond

Plenty there to keep me going for the near future.  I prefer to wait and see what happens with new games.   I never get hyped for anything because although I enjoy MMO's,  I have never found anything to be earth shatteringly good.    Just enjoyable and thats all I ask.

 

So only mildly interested in whats coming.   Old enough now to know that the new stuff isn't going to be much different from the old stuff.

Only Three of Savior

and maybe Black Desert, but definitly Three of Savior.

 

who doesnt want 80 possible classes with 10 different advacements?

Squishydew

EQ next i guess.. Theres really nothing in the works that I'm hyped about.

Possibly http://playdwell.com/ but seeing as It's small and indie, it'll probably turn out a trainwreck.

deniter

Can't really tell five.. only one comes to my mind and that's Repopulation.

YashaX

Good list OP. I am looking forward to trying:

1) Black Desert

2) Gigantic

3) EQN

4) Kingdoms under fire

5) Deep down (not sure about its online features, but it seems to have multiplayer)

 

 

 

Daikuru

1. The Repopulation

2. Black Desert

3.  Bless

4. Lost Ark

5. Lineage Eternal

Vonatar

1) Elite: Dangerous

2) The Repopulation

4) H1Z1 or Miscreated (whichever turns out better)

5) Star Citizen

     The only one I"m looking at is Elite Dangerous, and only because I loved the original so much.. NOTHING else on the market has my attention, as they all come off as "money" grabs..  There is a difference between companies that want to service the public and make a profit, then companies that just want to find ways to make a profit..  I think the MMORPG industry is full of quick money grabbing designers.. IMO

After the last couple of years.... I am not looking forward to any upcoming games. This is the perfect time to start checking off the backlog of games I have put off. Probably going to move to Lotro once I am done playing Dragon Age - I will keep an eye on ESO for consoles and The Witcher 3 , but I will remain skeptical of them until I see some solid evidence that I might enjoy playing them.

Mostly agree, Elite Dangerous is probably the only upcoming game that i know for sure that i'd actually buy, while i am not sure that most of the companies out there are just creating games as a quick cash grab intentionally, that does seem to be the end result regardless, i think Elite Dangerous is probably one of the few games that really is one that is made for the players

Let's say six...

1) No Man's Sky

2) Camelot Unchained

3) Tree of Savior

4) Lineage Eternal

5) Warhammer 40K Eternal Crusade

6) Lost Ark

I'm especially waiting for No Man's Sky. It will be amazing...

Unknown

I'm still reeling a bit after Archeage sucking, but here they are...

 

The repopulation

Everquest Next

Skyforge (though I'm not 100% on this one)

The Division (once again not 100% on this after recent Ubisoft debacles)

Star Wars Battlefront

 

I can't get excited for Black Desert, Korean MMOs have a bad habit of looking really good, but playing really bad or being grindfests. Another thing, it's not even out in Korea, so anyone who thinks we will get it before 2016 is a bit naive. Just look at the time line of any other big Korean MMO. Tera, Arcehage, Aion, all of these games took about a year to make it to the US after their initial release in Korea. Speaking of which, there isn't even a release date other than it saying 2015. There is an open beta (for Korea only I believe) on the 17th, but the game had its first beta back in 2013, so that's not really an indicator of how close they are to release. For all we know this could not come out until mid-late 2015, meaning we would probably get it fall of 2016.

CrazKanuk

1) EQN

2) Shards Online

3) The Repopulation

4) The Division

5) Star Citizen

Mothanos

The Devision

Eve Online

anything in the list of "upcomming" mmo's doesnt even interest me even more.
reason for it is that all these "new" mmo's want to cash in on studio greed with cash shops and lame pay to win / pay to advance faster mechenics.

Waited years for ESO / Archeage.....

Think i lost hope for the mmo genre

Pretty much exactly how i feel.EQNext "kinda" because i have seen SOE ways over the last 5 years and it does not look good.Black Desert ONLY because it looks good,i somehow feel once in game i will be disappointed.

At one time i was on the edge of my seat waiting to see the NEXT released game ,however i have got a real good idea of what game developers are aiming for now days and it does not look good.I likely will not buy another single player game either,too linear and shallow for my liking.Moba's?I would quit gaming if all we had were Moba's.

Knowing that it takes a lot of money and manpower to make a great quality MMORPG,i do not see anything close in the near future,likely why i play far less gaming now and dabble a bit in Hearthstone a card game.
