Certainly on my list.
Xenonauts
Tropico 5. Yeah I know..not really a wargame..but it has soldiers!!
Elite Dangerous (is that due out this year? I hope so)
^Aye, that's another one that could grab me.
what about the new Candy Crush?
...well, what about it?
Is that the game where the Mrs. Bawb avatar repeatedly whacks Bawb's gnads with a ball peen hammer until he doesn't speak with a weird accent anymore?
Nah, that's a different one ::)
Oh. Blimey Crush?
Limey crush :uglystupid2:
Elite
Ultimate Civil War or Whatever the Hell its called - the Darth one
Civilisation Beyond Earth
That new homeworld game thing
The division
and Massive Chalice
The actually full release of Wasteland 2
Easy. Civilization: Beyond Earth.
Civilization Beyond Earth does look good. Wasteland 2 too.
For me the #1 has to be the new Cinemaware release of Wings, comes out next month.
And Limey Crush of course.
I am a simple man...sniper elite 3.
.
Order of Battle Pacific. I think it's supposed to be out this year.
^Ooh good one
Civilization: beyond earth
ship breakers (the Homeworld MMO thingy)...although i haven't heard much on this so I'm not holding out much hope

That was a very good article! I am definitely looking forward to it.
For me, I would say Elite: Dangerous as a potential buy. Just for curiosity: Watch_Dogs. I am curious to see if it lives up to the hype.
Civilization Beyond Earth
Endless Legend (although I have doubts about it making it out this year)
Wasteland II
Distant Worlds:Universe (well, my most anticipated this week,anyway)
I am hoping for Command Ops Mediterranean Pack in 2014
Other than that I would like to see more games for the iPad since that is now my gaming platform when I travel
Con
I'm intentionally not paying attention to the gaming horizon, and so far ignorance has had it's moments. If Battlefront's Black Sea is a 2014 release, that's very near the top of my list.
I also very much look forward to playing the heck of Civilization: Beyond Assault War Modern Strike.
Boy, that's a tough one for me. I'm trying real hard to *not* anticipate any upcoming releases too much, as I wish to minimize the chances of disappointment (I'm only too aware my expectations are likely otherwise unreasonably high for most of the games I'm looking forward to).
That being said... As both a 4x gamer and frequent Kickstarter backer (at least last year), Predestination and Worlds of Magic are probably the front-runners for me personally. However, I would be remiss if I didn't also mention StarDrive 2, Sovereignty: Crown of Kings, and Distant Worlds: Universe as well; all these strategy titles are certainly in the running.
Right now there's really not a a lot I'm looking forward to. Other then Distant Worlds Universe, which will be out this week, Wasteland 2, End All Wars, Sovereignty: Crown of Kings, Starpoint Gemini 2 are the only ones. The full release of Xenonauts deserves to be mentioned, but its already a solid game as it is.
Worlds of Magic (http://myworldsofmagic.com/), particularly since I backed it on both of its Kickstarters.
Civilization: Beyond Earth sounds more like a sequel to Alpha Centauri to me than an addition to the Civilization series (http://www.mobygames.com/game-group/civilization-series), but I will undoubtedly pick it up upon its release.
Another title I am looking forward to is Wasteland II.

That's another one I'm waiting for. I'm hoping it turns out to be the best fantasy 4x to date.
I forgot to mention Buzz Aldrin's Space Program Manager. I bought this end of last year on Early Access, and it's very much a different (and much better) game today than originally announced, thanks to Matrix listening to the player base.
I have to say that there's no game i am really really looking forward to and this seems to repeat itself for the last few years. I remember when i was looking forward to Birth of the federation, Master of Orion III, Knigths of Honor or Imperium Romanum...these were good years. Don't misunderstand me, i think there's bunch of good games coming up and there were maybe never as many coming out in the past. I hadn't really though much about it so far.
So the ones i am the most looking forward to (without too much excitement):
- Ageod's Hannibal: Terror of Rome and To end all wars.
- Sovereignty: Crown of Kings
- Worlds of Magic (i am one of the kickstarters)
- Ultimate General: Gettysburg
- M.O.R.E.
- Starpoing Gemini 2
- Lords of the Black Sun
- Predestination

I think that sums up my own feelings on the subject fairly well. There are a number of titles due to be released this year that sound promising (and at least a few of which I think will be good), it's just there aren't any I'm particularly chomping at the bit for right now.

- Lords of the Black Sun aka FKAP (formerley known as Predestination?)
Formerly
Star Lords.
Predestination is a separate 4x title. :)

I got mixed up! They all look the same to me at this point....
I like how guys say "oh I'm not looking forward to much" and then rattle off. 5-6 titles they're looking forward to :)

Neither can any of the rest of us :)

So far I'm mostly anticipating Il-2: Battle of Stalingrad
Re: Sovereignity coming out this year, from one of the developers on the Matrix forum:
QuoteFirst of all, the tutorial needs to work properly. Then the game needs to be enjoyable to continue to be played by beta testers. You can sign up when we feel a beta is feasible if you want and test it.
Therefore, we don't have a release date yet.
That was posted yesterday, so I wouldn't hold my breath.
I'm still waiting, and hoping, on GOG to do the Gold Box series from the old SSI days. Can't think of anything else that gets my Selma Hayek :smitten: on unless it would be a Rome 2 version of Rome 1's Barbarian Invasion.

Hadn't thought of those games in years. Lots of fond memories there. But is it nostalgia or would they still be fun today? Regardless, if they did come out I would certainly buy one to find out.

Thanks for that. It made me laugh.
Valiant Hearts: The Great War looks nice.
I'm not really anticipating anything especially. I did pre-order Murdered: Soul Suspect from Gamersgate a while back. Should be out right about the time I return from holiday. Hope it's good.

Not sure what a Gold Box is but if SSI's Soldiers at War is in there, and it works without cursor problems, I'm in.
I do know what a Selma Hayek is though. :D
The only game I am even vaguely aware of is Order of Battle: Pacific. It seems like a really good idea I underestimated at first.
Wasteland 2 just got a release date: end of august
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/inxile/wasteland-2/posts/849972
Graviteam tactics Muis front.
Watch Dogs
Elite
Ageod WW1 (a possible)
Nice...thanks for posting Kushan.
I also agree with Sir Slash...if there is a Rome 2: Barbarian Invasion somewhere on the horizon that becomes my most anticipated...isn't there also a Warhammer TW somewhere in development?

When is that going to be released?
BBMike--- The Gold Box series was SSI's RPG with TSR to do AD&D. Confused yet? From way back in the 80's time period when everything had a lot of letters in it's name. Did that help clear it up any? :coolsmiley:

Care to say more, Swatter? In my own mind, I've kind of dismissed Order of Battle: Pacific as "Panzer Corps set in the PTO." But it sounds like you think it's deeper than that.

Me too..seems a fair few recent games coming out by Matrix are bordering on PC clones..or appear to be anyway. As I'm not at all keen on the rock paper scissor mechanic of Panzer General type games I keeping clear of the games that seem to look like it..the Warhammer game is another one. I'd rather they had used say Battle Academy 2 engine for the Warhammer game than the PC engine.

Last I heard, was some one (Hasbro?) bought what was left of SSI, owns all the old titles but, never did anything with them.
Surprised no one has tried to create/copy the Gold Box concept?

I looked at the screenshots and had to say hmmm...for there were odd things like messes of battleships and carrier from both sides sort of anchored more or less helter-skelter. It certainly looked like Panzer Corps in the Ocean.
I like the idea of Panzer Corps in the PTO...plus there are all the ships to utilize.
Oh and Combat Mission Black Sea if it comes this year.

Ah, well more D&D can't be a bad thing either. :)
