Future games you are excited about

Hey.  I was going to make a thread just for this one game, but then I thought that this game is really early in production, so maybe it wouldn't hold up on its own as a discrete thread.

So here we are then, let me talk about Grim Dawn - http://www.grimdawn.com (in exciting point form!)

- It is being made by Crate Entertainment, who are guys who used to be Iron Lore, the guys who made (the very capable Diablo clone) Titan's Quest.
- It has a pretty cool storyline: there is an "otherworldy power" that wants to use humans are some sort of resource (pretty scary!) and also this other mysterious otherworldly power who wants to stop them - by killing us all instead (not good!)
- Instead of being your average medieval type RPG it is gonna take inspiration from the Victorian era, so I've guessing muskets and such as well as swords kind of like Torchlight, but the settings/screenshots make it look darker in tone.  Less cartoony.
- Something about the battle/goings on between the two otherworldly powers is causing weird shit to happen, and humanity to start to exhibit odd powers (magic/psionics, would be the obvious guess)

I honestly don't know all that much more than that, but even with what little I know it seems kind of promising!  I am hoping they keep it as dark as it sounds and make it a Victorian-era supernatural survival horror-esque rpg mash type setting.

So what are you guys looking forward to in the near to distant future, and why? 

(and it'd be better if we talked about lesser-known games rather than just having a million "FWOARRR, STARCRAFT 2/DIABLO 3/BLOWJOBS 4EVER" posts)

The extra letter:
Fairly mainstream, it's true, but I'm looking forward to

Fallout:New Vegas.

It's going to be done by Obsidian, and I really enjoyed KoTOR2, so I'm fairly hopeful.

I also really enjoyed Fallout 3, even though it became extremely same-ish in the expansions.

I'm hoping that Obsidian manage to do something different with New Vegas, but I'm not holding my breath *too* much.

Spluff:
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri

wait wrong future sorry

Seriously though, Stalker: CoP. Shadow of Chernobyl is easily in the top 3 or 4 games of the last decade - hopefully they can back it up with Call of Pripyat.

Scandanavian War Machine:
I'm looking forward to Just Cause 2.

that's about it, actually. at least that I can think of off the top of my head. It's hard to think about other games when all I can think about is basejumping from the top of skyscraper to grappling hook a fighter jet and ride it like a surfboard, plant a bomb on it, then leap off and watch upwards as you detonate it.

not to mention cars, motorcycles, boats; all driveable in jungles, beachs, deserts, and snowy moutains. oh yeah and there's a hovercraft.

did i mention that it's also a shooter? I tend to forget but there are also guns and enemies and stuff.

infinitely redeployable parachute? yes, please. fuck physics.
