Well, to wait is the only thing we can do right now. Maybe, just maybe, we'll get something at GDC. In any case, I don't play multiplayer games so even if they do announce L4D3 (which I still doubt), I'll be safe from the damn microtransactions as I won't care about it.
As I said in todays news, what yesterday was a "no on Steam" is now a "maybe on Steam", and soon it will be an "also on Steam". AoE4 is harder to tell as it's a completely new game, but since all their strategy games have landed on Steam (AoE 2, Rise of the Nations, Halo Wars...), I hope it also comes to Valve's platform. |
Well at the very least, we are going to get Artifact this year.
It will be very interesting to see how the market place reacts to that title.
I have so many questions about that title:
How are they going to handle UGC?
How will the game be monetised?
Will the game sport an esports scene?
Will the game be on mobile?
Is it going to have good VR support?
Are Valve going to integrate it into the Steam trading card system?
Ect.
I don't expect to see anything directly related to a title at GDC.
Maybe a Vulkan tech demo, showcasing: loads of enemies moving about an environment, or terrain destruction, or something like that.
Source 2 is a modern engine: I want to see what is possible on a PC, with highly talented dev team.
Oh, and I better clear this up: I don't expect AoE 4 to fail financially.
It will likely fail at trapping PC users in the Xbox ecosystem.
I don't think we have Halo Wars 2 yet.
Hopefully both game, come to both platforms.
