2023 might be the best year for sequels and worst for new IPs (lemm.ee)

It's a really weird, happy and sad state of affairs.

You had Elden Ring, bunch of great indie games in 2022.

Then in 2023. Capcom hits it out of the park with SF6 and Remake4. Tears of the Kingdom came out. Then Baldur's Gate 3, a sequel 20+ years later. Metroid Prime remastered. Dead Space remake. Diablo 4

This was following Forsaken, Redfall, Gollum. Then you have Atlas Fallen recently with bad reviews

I'm having fun, but it seems indie Devs are having more success with original IPs and smaller scopes

Add Armored Core VI to the list. Looks pretty good so far. Releases on the 23rd.

I'm generally a patient gamer, but I shit a brick when I heard Deadspace was getting a ps5 remake (still on ps4, but not for long). I have hard copies for my Ps3 but my disk drive is kaput.

I've just bought my first full price game in about 20 years with REmake4 and am loving it. Can't wait to play on PS5 when I get one, but might hold out for the upgraded ps5 expected for Christmas 2024.

Armored core VI looks amazing, considering getting VR specifically because it looks like the perfect game for VR, but VR sure ain't cheap.

There's also a new final fantasy and the second entry for FF7 remake comes out this year as well I think

My video game cup runneth over for the first time in a long time.

I've generally been happy playing the classics in my library and haven't spent much time dedicated to gaming lately, but I have also only had PS4 for about 2 years now. Loved horizon zero dawn, thinking about trying RDR2 or God of War after REmake4 and hopefully the price of armored core 6 drops a bit by the time I'm finished!
