Original text too short.
2021 comes to an end, and retrospectively it was a modest gaming vintage with some heights, but also many depths. Reason enough to take a look into the future and unpack the wish list. How much better should the gaming year 2022 become? And above all: What wishes do we have at the coming twelve months? Other specials with views of the gaming year can be found on our overview page. In several articles, we present you about the upcoming hits of all genres for the new year.
Request 1: Finally enough consoles for all! Did you get a PlayStation 5 this time? Or maybe an Xbox Series? These questions were for many console fans of the Running Gag of the year 2021. Although PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X officially came to the market in the winter of 2020, they still stay as rare as a four-leaved shamrock. Players were looking for hunters in search of the devices and went online on the stalk for new batches that were not yet crammed away from scalpers. New consoles have never been so hot! Also, a year after release there are too few PlayStation 5 specimens for too many prospects. Source: Sony
This is hopefully changing 2022, so that the now over twelve months old, new console generation finally picks up and developers can use this good conscience as a lead platform. As much as we liked PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, so much we enjoy the technical possibilities of the successor models. Let's hope that in 2022 the dealer shelves are finally well filled again.
Request 2: The PlayStation Game Pass The sparrows called it from the rooftops: Sony wants to make the Xbox Game Pass competition and offer its own large subscription service. We say: always here! The division into PlayStation Now and PlayStation Plus does not appear contemporary anymore and is measured at the contents of the Xbox Game Pass also plain an overpriced offer. Whether Uncharted, Ratchet & Clank or The Last of Us — the PlayStation library has enough top-class games to fill a PlayStation Game Pass. Source: Media Agency Plasma
We wish for 2022 the PlayStation all-round package: online gaming, streaming and access to a rich and changing game library and possibly even movies and discounts. In times, in which everyone already paid half a dozen subscription services, Sony must simply relieve his clientele, if one wants to remain competitive.
Request 3: Gamer to power! Video games connect millions of people around the world. We therefore wish that gamers get more opportunities to interact with each other. This means: Crossly should not be the exception, but the rule! After all, the hardware should not decide whether to play with our friends or not. In Fora Horizon 5 you can create your own courses and arenas. We wish such creative tools in many more big productions. Source: Media Agency Plasma
We also wish more creative tools and sharing options. Why no dungeon construction kit for Diablo 4? How about a free stadium editor for FIFA 22? Titles like Little Big Planet, Super Mario Maker, Minecraft or Dreams have shown how much creative potential is in player ship. The big gaming brands should build much stronger than before.
Request 4: Return to the gaming virtues It Takes Two was the surprise hit of the year. Josef Fares and the team of Haze light Studios brought the essence of the video games to the point and whisked her skillfully in a pure coop adventure. The game was charming, ideas and variety. The best thing about it: It was not overloaded or excessively complicated. Everyone could play it and had fun. It Takes Two of Haze light did not win the Game of the Year Award for free. The co-op adventure is extremely varied and therefore pure fun. Source: EA
Exactly from this variety video game we want more! We do not need to constantly need skill trees, progression systems and open play worlds. Sometimes we just want six to ten hours story, fun and a straightforward gaming experience. It Takes Two brought these virtues to the point and home with the Game Awards completely rightly the price as a game of the year.
Request 5: Way with NFTs and microtransactions How many years do we complain about FIFA Ultimate Team, Unnecessary Season Passes and other payment models? It feels like an eternity. At the end of the year 2021, the next source of revenue holds in computer and video games: NFTs (non-fungible token). These are digital objects based on blockchain technology, which have been protected and limited via a signature.
In plain language this means: There are collecting or speculative objects that only a few people in this world have and that can decline or increase due to their rarity and popularity in the price. But does this development computer and video games perfect or destroys you the connection of players and game? Although experts and industry sizes like EA boss Andrew Wilson see the Play to Earn principle as a huge source of income for the industry, we hope that NFTs do not permanently prevail. Finally, NFTs suggest users the fast, big money — and in the end usually earn completely different. In Ghost Recon: Breakpoint you can now own equipment as NFTs. Is this feature of the next step in the commercialization of computer and video games? Source: Ubisoft Desire 6: The return of trade fair and audience The winter looks conceivable gloom in view of the With corona wave. Greater events in the styles of Games com, Electronic Entertainment Expo or E-Sport Events à la The International or FIFA World Cup is hard to think. But the hope dies most recently, and so we wish that 2022 will be possible again shows below the appropriate safety precautions. The Games com 2021 fell off. But we miss you! Will we receive a small Games Com 2022 or the fair will again be digitally held? Source: Media Agency Plasma
We, too, miss the colorful bustle in the Cologne exhibition halls, direct contact with our community and also the talks with developers as well as the discussions on site. Therefore, we wish that during the year 2022 more is possible again and the social aspects of the gaming sector do not fall asleep completely.
Request 7: Better quality controls and fewer bugs 2021 was a mixed gaming year. Even large productions failed to the challenges that brought with its global Corona pandemic. But away from countless release shifts, the many unfinished and partly broken games stated out, which came 2021 on the market.
Names Free2Play sports game Football 2022 laid a brilliant false start. Given the disastrous review and player reviews, not only the virtual Cristiano Ronaldo replies the facial features. Also, Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy did not meet the big name. Several Hit Guarantors such as Call of Duty: Vanguard or Battlefield 2042 acted like piecework and less like blockbusters.
Therefore, we wish for 2022, especially one: better quality controls, more care and less financial pressure on the developer studios. As beautiful as on this official picture, Football 2022 unfortunately looked much too rare for the launch. The game is one of the biggest mistakes of the year 2021. Source: INAMI Desired 8: FINALLY GET GTA 6! Where we are about them: Dear decision makers at Rockstar Games, butter with the fish! Please terminate Grand Theft Auto 6 and listen to playing with new editions on time.
The Nostalgiewelle has listed together with Groove Street Games and the debacle named Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy The Definitive Edition skilled. And the Grand Theft Auto 5 Remastered appearing in March 2022 is now nothing new.
Therefore, please finally dense the rumor cuisine and give the community, after which they are already so long. Even if GTA 6 would come until 2024, at least the announcement of the game would provide plenty of anticipation. For many years, Blizzard was considered the flagship company. 2021 a sexism scandal destroyed this picture. We hope these unsightly developments ultimately have a positive impact on the industry. Source: Media Agency Plasma Request 9: Fewer Scandals As if program errors and bumpy launches are not bad enough, 2021 showed the shadow sides of the game industry more clearly forever before. Branchenriese Activision Blizzard came into stumbling after reports and charges on sexism at work and poor working conditions made the round. And the Diablo makers are not the only company that has struggling with such abuses.
Therefore, we wish that the entire industry learns from these developments and pulls consequences — for fewer scandals, but especially for better games and a fairer working environment for all.
Request 10: 2022 the best game year has been... hopefully! However, our most important wish sets it to conclude this article: 2022 will definitely be a better gaming year than 2021. The number of already announced Triple-A games can hope for a true game fun flood. Especially the beginning of the year 2022 is with titles like Elder Ring, Horizon: Forbidden West, Dying Light 2: Stay Human, Gran Tourism 7 or Pokémon legends: Areas strongly occupied.
And in the further course of the year, projects such as God of War Ragnarök, For spoken, Stalker 2, Gotham Knights, Star field, Hogwarts Legacy and many more promising games in the starting blocks. Will all these titles really come 2022? Probably not. But in 2022, a bulging line-up expects us with games from a variety of genres — and we have stapled indie games and potential surprise hits.
In short: We wish you all a good time and lots of entertaining games for 2022.
