Study claims to know most anticipated games of 2023 (based on number of searches)

https://gamerant.com/biggest-new-games-coming-out-2023-list-hogwarts-legacy-starfield/

TLDR
1. Hogwarts Legacy - 1.23 million searches
2. Starfield - 540,000 searches
3. Diablo 4 - 301,000 searches
4. Sons of the Forest - 224,000 searches
5. Baldur's Gate 3 - 206,000 searches
6. Forspoken - 192,000 searches
7. The Day Before - 187,000 searches
8. Blue Protocol - 185,000 searches
9. Resident Evil 4 - 161,000 searches
10. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom/Ark 2 - 154,000 searches

Hogwarts at 1, yeah, I can see that. It's basically Potter fans' dream game and there a fuckton of Potter fans. Will probably be big unless they fuck it up hard. Starfield, sure, tho I suspect its number of searches will increase after release as people start looking for bug fixes. Diablo 4, fine. Never even heard of Sons of the Forest, The Day Before and Blue Protocol, whodat? Baldur's Gate 3 is a bit of a surprise. So is Forspoken, but not in a good way. Rese 4 remake and Zelda, kind of no brainers, tho I suspect the latter would be higher if BotW2 searches were included.

Obviously doesn't really say anything about how well they'd actually sell.

@hanselthecaretaker,

I like that he focused on the first handheld game. It’s not my favorite but it still has a really satisfying gameplay loop and flow of progression. Thanks for the heads up.

Seraphim was going to do a Chain of Olympus project as some point in the early 2010s, but never got around to it. He does admit to yearning Greek Era God of War. Seraphim does admit that he doesn't like God of War 4, so he has no interest in covering Ragnarök. He did do a Give Me God of War Walkthrough back in 2018 when the game launched. You can watch his 2018 walkthrough, if you want. I know he's going to cover some of the other Greek Era games again, but I don't know which order. Seraphim did say he's not going to do Ascencion again, since the walkthrough was made when the game first launched.

Yeah blue protocol is an unknown mmorpg that's probably going to be cancelled within two year of release, so I'm guessing there research methodology might have accidentally pickup some other terms about it.

Dude using AI to make 'stills' of non-existent video game movies

Dude using AI to make 'stills' of non-existent video game movies

I'd watch that metal gear solid movie.

I wonder how far we are from a world where, instead of browsing to find a movie/video game that you want to try, you just ask an AI to generate it for you.
