- Here are the most anticipated video games of 2020.
So far.
It's a brand new year folks,
which means it's time to say goodbye to the video games
of yesteryear, and get hyped for all the new releases
coming out in 2020.
And buckle up, there's a lot of 'em.
So plug in your controllers
as we take a ride and check out the most anticipated
titles of this year.
First up, Xbox Series X and the PlayStation Five.
And yeah, yeah, I know, these aren't titles,
but we'd be remise if we didn't mention the fact
that two brand new consoles are gonna hit store shelves
by the holidays.
And while we're still waiting for more details,
like how'd they get the Xbox Series X
out of that monolith scene from 2001: A Space Odyssey,
we're hoping to get some hands on time with him
at this year's E3, which is an exciting prospect indeed.
Now the first real video game title on our list,
is a sequel to a game franchise that popularized
the first person shooter, Doom Eternal.
Now to say we're just excited for this game
is a massive understatement considering all the fun we had
slaughtering our body weight in demons
with the 2016 reboot.
If they wanna keep that murder train rolling,
just apply some of that same formula of tight controls,
sick Easter eggs, brutal monsters, and killer weapons,
and oof, you got a murder stew goin'.
We're goin' to hell and back,
actually we're goin' to heaven this time.
It's gonna be awesome.
Next up, Half-Life Three confirmed, sort of.
Well, it's two and a half, two point seven five,
it's Half-Life Alyx.
Well not exactly the sequel
that gamers have been clamoring for
for exactly 100 years now,
we'll take anything we can get at this point.
Set between the first and second installments,
this new chapter's gonna be a VR exclusive.
And honestly, while we're a little bit disappointed by that,
we'll take any excuse we can
to crowbar the nearest Headcrab.
Overwatch two,
definitely a full-on sequel
and not just a re-skinned version of the game
I'm hopelessly addicted to.
While Overwatch one focuses
on the online battles between other players,
the sequel reportedly introduced story modes, PvE elements,
and all new characters,
which will hopefully give fans more of a chance to explore
the deep lore inside the Overwatch world.
Maybe they'll give Zenyatta more of a backstory,
instead of nothing for three plus years.
While there's no official release date in sight,
we've got our fingers crossed that it's gonna drop this year
because we, and specifically I, cannot wait.
Now normally we wouldn't put a remake or a remaster on this,
but considering just how bad ass
Final Fantasy VII remake is looking,
it's hard not to because it's practically a whole new game,
built from the ground up.
Arguably one of the best Final Fantasy titles of all time
and the reason I bought a PlayStation in the first place,
it's not only getting a graphical update,
but it's gonna do away with the active time battle system,
in place of a brand new battle system.
Now we're concerned that this remake
may be broken up into at least two parts, if not more,
with part one ending when your party first leaves Midgar,
but any chance of swinging Cloud's Buster sword
in glorious three dimensions,
and not like that horrifying pixel art,
is good enough for us.
Seriously, just look back at the old graphics.
He needs to see a doctor.
Dying Light Two.
The sequel to the breakout
post-apocalyptic parkour zombie game of 2015
is getting a sequel, and we could not be
more excited about it.
There's gonna even be more zombies, bigger maps,
abilities, weapons, and yes, more parkour.
The best part of this new iteration though
is the fact that you can play a campaign
with three of your best buds online
in a fully-cooperative setting.
It'll be a true test to see
which of them you would actually want
in your survival group once the end of days
actually does come around.
So, sorry Steven, you're out of the gang.
You're gonna cheese steak our survival.
While there may not be any Avengers movies
hitting the big screen this year,
we're thankfully getting the next best thing
in the form of Square Enix's and Crystal Dynamics
Marvel's Avengers game.
It's set to drop in May.
And the story takes place after the Avengers get attacked,
and they're left scattered and broken.
Cap is gone, Tony Stark grew a beard
instead of just a goatee,
so you know it's serious.
Based on the trailers and the footage we've seen so far,
everyone from Thor, to Hulk, to Black Widow, to Ms. Marvel
is gonna be playable.
And if that doesn't scratch your Avengers itch,
well, you probably need Earth's mightiest Gold Bond.
Oh excuse me, I'm so sorry.
Where are our manners?
Out in the English countryside?
No, that's a homonym.
There's been a little love given to Triple A titles
as of late in this very episode,
but what about their comparatively diminutive brethren,
the Indie games out there.
Well, lucky for you,
we do have manners, specifically, Table Manners.
In this dating sim, you combine the complexity
and clumsiness of Surgeon Simulator,
and apply it to a first date.
You start off by swiping your potential date,
and hoping they accept.
Then you go to a restaurant
that ranges from a boat, to a nice steakhouse,
where you'll have to help prepare and serve your date
all their favorite food.
All the struggles and digital buffoonery are highly accurate
to how first dates actually are, at least,
that's what I've been told when I did some light Googling
and extensive Wikiing,
about dating,
a human.
(light laughter)

Next up, Halo Infinite.
It's kind of nice to see Microsoft get back to their roots
with the return to the Halo franchise.
And releasing the game with a brand new console,
just as they did with the original Xbox,
well, that's just icing on the cake.
Well we haven't actually seen a whole
lot from this game yet,
we're always gonna be excited to suit up as Master Chief
once more, to 'nade some fricken Grunts,
run them over with our Ghost,
and just see their heads pop off like so much confetti.
Folks, let's be real about something, moving sucks.
But maybe it doesn't have to, if you play Moving Out.
Similar to Overcooked, this game's meant to be played
couch co-op style, so you can yell at your pals
in real time for going the wrong way.
Moving Out tasks you to relocate furniture
and boxes from one location, and move them to another.
Sounds simple, but therein lies the rub.
What if you have to move boxes off of a plane
and onto a moving truck?
Not so simple.
Coordination is the name of the game here,
so that you don't trash the place,
and can instead become a
certified Furniture Arrangement Relocation Technician,
or a FART, if you're nasty.
And you're nasty.
It's been seven long years since The Last of Us came out,
and three years since its sequel was announced.
But it looks like we're finally
gonna be getting part two this year.
Get ready to go through all of the feels once more
as this post-apocalyptic adventure
takes us on an emotional journey.
The Last of Us is widely regarded
as one of the best games of the decade, if not of all time.
So we're interested to see if they can keep up
this excellence into the sequel.
And I've played it, and so far,
so (beep) great.
Speaking of long-awaited games,
Animal Crossing New Horizons.
Announced in last September's Nintendo Direct,
the next main installment in the Animal Crossing series
is gonna be as cute and cuddly as its predecessor's.
Unless of course you cross Tom Nook.
The biggest difference in this outing is the setting.
Instead of being part of a town or a farm,
you instead work off of a deserted island
to collect resources, build structures,
so you can impress other anthropormorphic animals.
You know?
Kind of like real life.
Wait, you are you trying to impress?
(soft laughter) Now folks,
we're gonna go out on a limb here
and wager this next title might be
the most streamed game of 2020.
We're talking about Fall Guys.
This little Indie game takes the Japanese game show
Takeshi's Castle, or as you may know it,
Most Extreme Elimination Challenge,
and mixes it with the popular Battle Royale genre.
100 players face off in different challenges
that sometimes boil down to dumb luck
against flying or falling obstacles,
until only one person is left alive.
It's the greatest thing Japan's done
for the Battle Royal genre,
since they out out the movie Battle Royale.
Which, if you haven't seen it, just fix your life.
What's wrong with you?
And finally, our last pick for the most anticipated game
coming out in 2020, is, or course, Cyberpunk 2077.
(crowd applauds) - Cyberpunk.
- Look, we could go on and on
about how everything about this game looks spectacular.
How its visuals are out of this world,
and how every little detail, including the weird lore
they dropped in their with Keanu's character,
has us on the edge of our seats.
We could ramble on and on
about how it's the same game studio that brought us
The Witcher Three.
We could bore you with all of the details
about the level of customization
that goes into each and every character.
But for now, all we're gonna say is Keanu Reeves
as Johnny God-damn Silverhand.
Samurai's back, baby.
And that's why it's our number one pick.
If you haven't played the RPG that it's based on,
Cyberpunk, they're putting out a new edition
of that this year too, so get your table top on.
And there you have it, folks.
Our definitive pick for the most anticipated games of 2020.
We can't wait to play each and every one of these,
although our wallets might say otherwise.
And we also can't wait to find out
what other surprises might be coming our way this year.
What do you folks think?
Which game are you most looking forward
to playing this year?
Did we leave anything off of our list?
And which game do you think
is actually gonna come out this year
versus getting delayed into oblivion?
Because if it's Animal Crossing again,
legally, we're allowed to riot.
Let's discuss.
