My most anticipated Games of 2014
Last Year I Played a lot of great title. Did I finish any? well that’s another story by itself. 2 of the titles That I played the most last year I am still playing and will continue to do so until I complete them both. One is the Great Persona 4 golden which came out the year before but was a new experience to me. It had all the things required to make a great RPG and some more. The second game I’m still playing is Pokémon Y on the 3DS, I don’t know anything to say other than this is Pokémon. Any who this article is not about those games but rather the games that I want to get my paws on the most this year 2014. This list is not in any order so don’t take it that any game is better than another.
Infamous Second Son
I have always said I don’t by consoles out of loyalty, what the heck is console loyalty any way? I don’t see Sony or Nintendo putting my name on their consoles or calling me to see how my experience is going. Granted these are big companies and I’m just small fry, But I’m moving away from my point. I buy consoles fro the games and this gen my first console is going to be the PS4 for the game Infamous Second Son. Infamous was the reason I got my PS3 and it became my favourite series on the platform so it shouldn’t come as a shock that the sequel’s sequel is the title that I am most excited for on the next generation PlayStation. If what I see in that trailer is just a taste I want the whole pie and the cherry on top too.
Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth
Persona is one of the games that I am still playing and it is one of the best rpg, no scratch that it’s one of the best titles I have ever played and I am still enjoying it more than 50 hours into the 4th game. So you could imagine my glee when I saw that the title of one of the next games in the series had my name plastered in it.
Any that have played a Persona game before knows that they are full of character development mechanics and are deeply wrapped in story. Sometimes you will spend hours just going to school and making sure you study to keep your grades up, while other times you may find yourself deep in a dungeon unable to take off you vita because of fear of loosing your valuable progress. I’m sure this new one with my name in it will be no different, and in some ways better because of the mixture of characters from multiple persona titles in one game. this title kinda reminds me of a title called Tales of Radiant mythologies for the PSP. Which was a mash up of the Tales RPG series.
This new Persona game will be a 3DS exclusive so that will make it the first Persona game to be published on an Nintendo platform.
Conception II: Guidance of Seven Stars
Conception was a PSP Title released in early 2012. I didn’t get to play the game because it was only released in Japan and at the time I did not have a PSP anymore (It was stolen). Had I had a PSP at the time I think i may have braved the translation gap and still given this game a try like i did with titles like Gundam Seed: Rengou vs. Z.A.F.T. and the bleach heat soul series. Alas all is not lost as this title has a sequel in the making and it is being released in western shores Q2 2014 (this year) on PSvita and 3DS, so yup I’m more than excited. The Conception series is developed by Spike Chunsoft. They are best known for the Pokemon mystery dungeon Games and 999, both amazing titles that have been indorsed by us the Buttonsmashers Editors, and so this one rides on high expectations. It also looks similar to the great Persona series.
Final Fantasy X HD Collection
Final Fantasy X was one of my favourite titles in the FF series of games. It had some of the most relatable characters in any RPG and of course my girl Rikku (don’t judge me ). This reboot is going to be uprezzed for the PlayStation 3 and PSVita systems. Both games will be released on March 21st this year and will contain improved maps, character models and textures as well and improved lighting, shadowing, enhanced pre-rendered movies with better quality HD. Both games will feature Trophy support, for those of you that care about that stuff (meh). There is a lot I can say about FFX HD collection but The that would be spoilers, so just take my word for it and know that this is a game you are gonna want to get a copy of.
THE LEGO MOVIE VIDEOGAME

So this is my most anticipated list of video games for 2014. This list in no way is a reflection of all the Buttonsmashers editors views as they may not share the same view and taste as me and may do their own lists in their own time.
I’m looking forward to Persona Q and Conception too, providing they get a European release.
I don’t doubt EU will get them and I’m guessing you have a 3DS at the ready 😀
Yes I have a 3DS I am itching to use. I haven’t touched it much since Pokemon came out.
I have the same thing. mine is always charged but I’m finishing persona 4 golden before I return to Pokemon Y.
Good list. Watch Dogs and Infamous SS is my most anticipated games until someone announces something else.
