Around the Network

I'm really hyped for Octodad.



"I've Underestimated the Horse Power from Mario Kart 8, I'll Never Doubt the WiiU's Engine Again"

It's gotten me pumped.



A great year indeed!



Indies FTW



Around the Network

It does look like an incredible year.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Some of those games look really good. You forgot about "the witness", I think uncharted will be out this year too.



OMG you gave me a hard-on! My body is ready...
I'm still waiting for Infamous bundle to get a ps4. I hope it will be in stock by then :(



I would be really surprised if Uncharted 4 didn't see release in 2014. ND is Sony's ace in the hole at this point, and they need to make sure they get a game from ND on the system as soon as possible. Uncharted 1 was what really got the PS3 started, so I'm sure ND will be one of the first on the scene with PS4. The new title has probably been in development since UC3.



0331 Happiness is a belt-fed weapon

I added The Witness, still not sure about Uncharted, sony made a video about games to wait for in 2014 including it but we didnt see any gameplay ( maybe soon since they wanted to show something early in the year), i'll update the thread with new announcements.
