Josh Harmon writes: "Well, that's it. 2011 has officially come to a close. While it was definitely a great year for gaming, this is hardly any time need to dwell on the past. Like the old adage says, out with the old and in with the new.
In keeping with that spirit, we thought we'd look at the games that are headed our way over the next twelve months. The release calendar is packed pretty tight, with high profile titles to suit just about everyone's tastes. Shooters, platformers, RPGs — they're all coming, and they all look amazing. And that's just the stuff we know about. With two new consoles scheduled to hit stores and the very strong possibility that more will be unveiled, this year packs the potential for some momentous shifts in gaming.
In the meantime, though, here are ten of the most anticipated games you'll be able to get your hands on in 2012."
"The Montréal-based (Québec, Canada) indie games developer Raccoon Logic have today announced with great joy and thrill, that their satirical sci-fi adventure "Revenge of the Savage Planet", is coming to PC (via Steam) and consoles (PS5 and Xbox Series X) on May 8th (2025)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
"The Kosice-based (Slovakia) indie games publisher Grindstone and Bratislava-based (Slovakia) indie games developer Bitmap Galaxy,, are today very delighted and proud to announce that the full version (v1.0) of their cozy puzzle nature-building game “Preserve“, is coming to PC (via Steam) and consoles (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch via digital stores on May 15th, 2025." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Meta revealed that an Xbox VR headset was on the way back in 2024, so where is it? And what form can we expect it to take?
Yea, the problem is that the games worth playing in VR in Microsoft's catalog do not run on Meta OS. Hands down one of the best VR experiences I've had was MS Flight Simulator, and you need a beast of a system to run it well! The one thing that could push Meta headsets is an "official" release of Minecraft VR. You had to do some workarounds before to get it running in VR (which is an amazing experience, I don't actually play the game flat), but they just removed all VR support for the game after an update at the end of March. Bring it back with an official, easy to use Meta Quest version. I wouldn't buy an XBox branded Quest, but I'd at least like to see them do a bigger push into VR. Doubt they'd do it bc it's still so niche, and they're struggling atm and trimming the fat as it is. (But omg, would I kill for an official Forza Horizon in VR w wheel support!!)
I'm not sure that a Metaquest with an Xbox logo slapped on it constitutes it being an "Xbox" headset. But whatever.
Hololens is a damn cool kit... problem is price. So if there was a cheaper 2.0, I'd be down for that. I know you are trying to make a dig, that just shows you never experienced it.
Let's just pray Diablo 3 comes out this year.
