Discussion Are you looking forward to any new media releases? Films, series, games, music, books- whatever?

[Forever Sleep]

I'm kind of looking forward to Squid Game 2 on Netflix. I know it's kind of sick and brutal. I probably like dystopian ideas that portray humanity at its worst. Like rich people betting on games where poor and desperate people compete and die. You could almost imagine it happening if they could get away with it...

What I should be doing now is tidying so that I can treat myself to getting lost in video games for a bit. Anyone got Gamepass for XBox One? I used to subscribe to that a while back. Might give that a whirl for a bit. Any recommendations?

I loved: Eastshade, Spiritfarer, Subnautica, the Farming Simulator games (ironic seeing as I hate gardening,) most city building games.

I was playing Marvel Rivals a few days ago. I built a $2000 gaming PC back in February just to play all the modern AAA titles I missed out on, because I had a really old crummy PC. Kind of okay, the gameplay is kind of sluggish compared to Overwatch, and OVerwatch sucks now, whatever happened there.
Other than that, I don't really look forward to modern stuff that comes out, it almost always isn't good. Usually anything new that comes out that is good is something that no one saw or had expectations for and caught everyone by surprise.

Squid Game 2 is something I look forward to as well. My favorite band PRIZM is maybe releasing new album next year so I'm looking forward that as well.

Ima side with @Dr Iron Arc on this one by saying that I'm looking forward to the sonic 3 movie. I'd be watching it with my brother whenever he chooses to watch it.

I mostly play games so the new game releases I am looking forward to are:

• Restitched (Inspired by my favorite game: Little Big Planet as it has level creation and look the hand craft visauls)
• Deltrarune (An official alternative reality to the RPG: Undertale)
• Joy of Creation (5 Nights at Freddy's fan game)
• Kumitantei: Old-School Slaughter (A murder mystery visual-novel inspired by Danganronpa)
• The Watcher DLC for Rain world (I am worried tho that its not going to innovate enough from the base game and Downpour DLC as I thought you can't add anything more to the game. Also concered with it being rushed as its time in development is going to be much smaller than the base game and Downpoar DLC)

Tho I am not like most people tho who go insane about waiting for new releases (I am looking at you Hollow Knight: Sliksong fans). Developers should have as much time as they want to make their games and for most cases: are not even obligated to finish their game if they don't want to (exceptions being stuff if they have done stuff like Kickstarters)

Also can't wait for squid game s2.

For gaming it would be the switch 2 and the new pokemon legends games, because legends arceus is my favorite pokemon game,

I have several concert/events happening next year that I want to attend before I ctb

The new ATLA movie coming in 2025 or 2026 is something I'm hella excited for, but I probably won't be around that long to actually watch it.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

Movies: Sonic 3 (which I'm seeing tomorrow ), the new Wallace and Gromit movie, Dog Man, Captain America: Brave New World, The Day the Earth Blew Up, Minecraft (it'll probably be bad so I hope it's bad in a fun way), Thunderbolts, Jurassic World Rebirth, the new Superman movie, the MCU Fantastic 4 movie, Zootopia 2, and Beyond the Spider-Verse.

Games: Pokémon Legends: Z-A, Sonic Racing CrossRoads, whatever else comes out for Switch 2 and the console itself.

Shows: New episodes of South Park and Family Guy, maybe Stranger Things season 5

Luckily only Legends Z-A seems compelling enough to keep me alive past February of next year. Hopefully the Switch 2 keeps taking forever to get announced and if it does there are no new Fire Emblem, Kirby, or Smash Bros games revealed for it.

I'd forgotten about Wallace and Gromit. I'm super excited for that! I didn't even know about the new Superman movie. This is what I was hoping for though... More things to look forward to at least.

I'm so out of the loop, I didn't even hear about it~ :) when you see it, are you going to make a review of it on here? :)

Luckily I don't have to wait long for Wallace and Gromit, it comes out next month in the US and I think it might already be out in the UK?

Maybe I will, at least on my profile if not in an actual thread.

I think it will be Christmas Day here. Oh, that's great then. I usually hate Christmas.

A bit basic but I always look forwards to new Stranger Things and also Black Mirror even though the series are far apart.

I'm looking forwards to the third book in the 'Books of Dust' series by Philip Pullman - if you've ever seen the movie the Golden Compass it's the same series, but the last two are for more adult audiences rather than childrens books. Should be coming out in 2025!

I love Black Mirror. They're such clever stories.
