Non-Mainstream games your looking forward too?

I'm quite looking forward to the release of Natural Selection 2. Not so much that I'll buy into the Beta mind you, but that RTS/FPS blend is great when done well.

Risen 2: Dark Waters.
Why? Pirate RPG. It could be utter shit and it would still be a day one purchase for me.

Pfft, games that use actual words? that's so mainstream. I only play games that are unpronounceable.

If you've heard of it, it's too mainstream. And if I told you what it was, you will have heard of it and therefore I won't be playing it.

Renegade X, easily

Command and conquer was my favorite shooter game ever. Seeing it remade is amazing.

That might have sold me too. The original seemed to be decent, though I've only played the demo. So I could see it being pretty good.

more stuff from Frictional games, they successfully made me scream in terror with Amnesia Dark descent.

Try Penumbra while you are waiting

OT : I am also waiting for the guys to release something new. Something with horror hopefully

Doesn't sound like it'll be quite as intense as Amnesia, but I trust them to make something good.

We have mentioned before that the next game will not be as horror focused as our past ones, but still have a scary atmosphere. Our intention this time is to dig into deeper and more intellectually demanding subjects. Another goal for us is to get past having classical puzzles that break the flow, but without making the game into a spoon-fed type of experience.

And this is a total guess on my part but I'd be surprised if they release their next game earlier than very late 2012, so we might be waiting a while.

Does Dark Souls count? It is pretty darn hyped, but in the end only a few will buy it and even few will complete it. I still consider it a non-mainstream game even with all the hype.

Yeah, it's not what I would consider that mainstream. I haven't really looked into it but I heard the previous game, demon souls wasn't too bad.

Demons Souls wasn't bad, but it had several missteps that stop it from being a great game.
