Upcoming Promising Games in 2020

Again, only a very few handful of video games has me anticipated this year so far :)

-REmake 3-

An easy prediction in hindsight, this is an instant day one purchase for me. Capcom is by my perspective, fully restored regarding it's reputation, and I have given them all of my faith and expectations to once again bring me successfully to their world of nightmares.

Resident Evil truly is one of the best video game franchises out there!

-Cyberpunk 2077-

Having recently been delayed for another 5 months, a quote comes to mind; A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad.

CD Projekt Red's latest is their most ambitious yet, as this cyberpunk open world beauty is riding hype cargo's of such caliber that they want to go beyond expectations. Perhaps even the developers behind the Deus Ex games are watching closely.

If this game is received with universal claim, then just like The Witcher 3, it will set a new standard for cyberpunk games to come. 

-Final Fantasy VII Remake-

Another remake and ambitious project rolled into one, for several reasons this is happening. 1 is to please the fans of the old, and another is to attract newer generations towards perhaps Final Fantasy in general with it.

Controversially at first, this is split up in several parts in terms of blu-ray per release, I believe. The combat gameplay is also very different this time. But the plot, the setting, the characters and the music are all still familiar, and I remember the classic vividly, having beat it back in 2011.

I hope that the first entry of this releasing in upcoming march, will break expectations as well, and give Square Enix in general some much needed appreciation.

-The Last of Us Part II-

The long awaited sequel towards a game that objectively was praised around the world for it's emotional storytelling, it's survival gameplay and it's design full of quality, I am quite anticipating The Last of Us Part II as well.

Ditching the multiplayer, Naughty Dog will be able to completely focus on the single player, similar to the latest God of War. As long as they keep getting creative in regards to plot continuation, level design and features, then this sequel will be in great hands.
