The Survivalists reminds me of Age of Empires
Aside from CrisTales (which I played the demo for and already decided I want), Morbid is the only thing that looks interesting to me here, even though it's yet another game inspired by the Soulsborne genre and that's a bit exhausting.
Honestly, this is one of the first and probably only games showcase where I’m intrigued by every one if the games. Each one looks solid and unique enough to warrant some attention... very exciting!
Ikenfell looks interesting.
Monster Harvest's art style looks.... Familiar... >.>
More indies.. cool I guess.
They're all unique titles but a majority of them doesn't feel triple As.
Nothing for me here but I found lots of good games on the recent Indie World showcase and am glad Nintendo has such strong support.
I do wish developers would include more gameplay in their trailers though... Thank god for YouTube.
I wonder if outlast 3 will come to switch.
I miss 3D games. Good times.
@Retro_Player_77 dude “AAA” games are things like Call Of Duty, World Of Warcraft, or for NIntendo, Mario Odyssey, Animal Crossing etc. These are indies, with the exception of Gollum, the exact polar opposite to triple AAA’s.
Don't forget that The Long Dark is about to launch soon !
That's the only one I long for !
The Gollum game and Smalland are my top two here, although there were quite a few that grabbed my interest. Nice wee lineup really!
I can't get excited for anything anymore. Maybe I need some new passions.
Gibbous looks like a nice surprise. :3
Interested in Gollum, The Survivalists and Gestalt (which is not in this list, but looks amazing).
Pretty good indie games coming!
Gollum and Mini Motor Racing X look great.
They all warrant some monitoring/wishlisting I guess. Still waiting for that Direct like many others.
Some really cool looking games here. I'm most interested in Cris Tales and Monster Harvest but I'll be keeping my eye on some of the others as well.
Survivalist cought my attention.
Cristales look good
@ritouf Avengers is garbage by all accounts.
@idtgatt Dude you're basically repeating what I already said.
I struggle to like struggling
@Scrubicius no.
Mom, can I get Grounded?
Mom: no, we have Grounded at home
Grounded at home:
@Retro_Player_77 your first post reads like you’ve gone to a tractor show and are pointing out you can’t see any sports cars.
@KnightsTemplar No?
Yes it does remind me...
@DrDaisy sometimes I get like this with gaming. It’s been a hobby of mine for decades but every now and then I take extended breaks. Something eventually comes along and lights the passion again.
I may be interested in Gollum once they show actual gameplay and Small and Gibbous. The racing game maybe but the the Dragon game looks unfinished or ill conceived to me.
Yes! Been waiting for Ikenfell for years!
@Kieroni Some of the assets are directly ripped. Someone already did a full comparison for the grass, it is 100% identical with just a color change.
This would explain why some of it looks beautiful, and the rest of it looks like Stevie Wonder was the art director.
Gibbous looks like it'd be a good animated movie.
@Retro_Player_77 I was rather saddened by the whole presentation, seeing the vast majority of "modern, intensive / more impressive" titles skip the Switch — time and time again. Only the "smaller" of the bunch made it to the console.
More Indies. Switch is a 1 Pony show at this point.
Gollum presentation was made up of concept Stills and a woman talking - ends with "late 2021".... so 16 months from now.
Cris Tales is the only thing there I care about. But that we knew about for again now.
Out of this entire list, Lord of the Rings: Gollum interests me the most. Some other intriguing announcements too.
@Panopticon Oh jeez, I hadn't had the time to actually look at the trailer, but uh, yeah, you're right. How did it get into a show?
Mini Motor X Racing looks wonderful! Finally a top down racer that ALSO allows the option for first person and behind the car?? WITH vehicle combat?? Yes please!
Gibbous looks delightful, as well as quite a few others here. So many potential gems!
Everyone complaining about indies needs to get their heads out of their butts and open their minds. Most AAA is absolute trash these days. Get with the program. You're missing out on some of the best gaming experiences in the last decade at least!
Overall....cool. Some ppl don't seem to like idea of the gollum game, but looks like a fresh, unique, NEW idea, and those are terms that LOTR games need imo.
Also 👽......those that may know me know that I can't get thru a comment section without promoting my favorite game series that nobody has ever heard of 🙃 (well "soon to be" a series that is, there's only one current game out so far n it's on 3ds). There's new survival horror otw for Switch eShop that should be out before the end of this year. It's called "Silver Falls: Episode Watchtower" it's a over shoulder view survival horror with a very fresh unique story about alien abductions and mutated animals and a secluded mountain town seemingly frozen in time. The first game of this series was released in 2020 for "new" 3ds system, it's called "Silver Falls: 3 down stars" and its also an over shoulder view survival horror. If you havnt heard of it or have heard it's bad, it's because the launch version was an accidental broken version, and sadly it was the version that was reviewed....and horribly trashed. It has since been fixed, but those awful reviews and reputation still lurk ☹️. It's actually a very good game and a true act of shear will by a low resource ONE man indie studio. Check out "new" 3ds "silver falls: 3 down stars" (keep in mind the games demo AND most of the gameplay vids are from the broken version, look for version 1.2 or higher if you decide to check out some gameplay vids). Also check out "silver falls game" Twitter page to see some preview screen shots from the upcoming switch game "Silver Falls: episode watchtower". It's quite visually stunning.
Thank you if you actually read my rambling comment. 👉👽👈
Gollum, Smallland and Morbid all on my radar list.
@Scrubicius good for you. Actually play age of empires then. Its nothing like it
Still waiting for news about Eastward...
@KnightsTemplar Actually I have. The difference is; you wrote “Its nothing like it” as in “similar to; in the same way”. Where I am saying “it reminds me” as in “think of”.
You know different words different meaning.
@Riderkicker Indeed, out of the bunch, I find Gibbous the most delicious.
@Riderkicker Gibbous will be day 1 purchase for me
@idtgatt “ They're all unique titles but a majority of them doesn't feel like steampunk themed rhythm based strategy games.”
@DrDaisy that might be a sign of depression.
smalllands looks cool. honestly looks like "grounded". but not too many out like it, so im willing to explore it.
@Dizavid Oh, I know I'm depressed. I don't need any signs to tell me that. Everything seems to annoy me lately, even trivial stuff like a few irrelevant articles on this site. Honestly, who else could that possibly piss off so much?
It's just hard to get excited about stuff anymore. Even feeding the remains of hunters to mountain lions last week hardly made me feel anything. 😓
