Which of the Big 3 Titles that will (probably) release in 2020 will have the biggest impact in the Industry

[plow]

So in 2020 3 of the biggest upcoming titles will release with:

- Final Fantasy 7 Remake
- Cyberpunk 2077
- The Last of Us Part II

This will probably be the most stacked year ever with Halo Infinite also probably launching and GOT rumored to be launching in 2020 too.

My question is. Which one of these, will have the biggest impact on the Industry? And im not only talking Sales or Reviews, i'm also talking about setting standards for future games.

1. I'll guess that Naughty Dog will se a new High in the Animation and Storytelling department if the first game was any indicator for that.
2. Cyberpunk on the other hand might set new Standards for Questmaking and character customization in future games.
3. SE is firing on all cilynders witht he FF7 Remake showing and it stole the show of every other game at E3 this year. The particle effects and graphics in general might be best we can on a base PS4.

So to you guys, which game will be the best received? Which one will sell better? And what game will set new Standard for game development in the future?

Note: The second Question might be easy to answer since CP is a multiplat title, so perhaps restrict it to PS4?

edit: Added a poll but fucked up on Halo and can't change it. ( Disney did this)

Is there a way to put (poll) in the title?

 

[daybreak]

The Last of Us Part II will be setting a new bar for character animation, from what we've seen. My money is on that one.

With that being s aid, we don't even know which titles will be launching on the new consoles, so that new bar set by TLOUP2 migth not last very long.

But, honestly, my dark horse pick for most impact on the industry? Breath of the Wild 2.

 

[Deleted member 18951]

Halo Infinite.

 

[Barrel Cannon]

I don't see any of those having a massive impact on the industry.

 

[LordOcidax]

BoTW 2.

 

[Le Dude]

Nothing to me indicates that FFVIIR will have some massive impact in the industry. TLOU2 will be an amazing game, but it'll be the typical Naughty Dog excellent storytelling, animation, polish, etc . . . Easily a 9-10/10 game, but not industry changing. I guess it's Cyberpunk by default then? I think the games that are industry changing are games you don't even consider when they're announced . . . Minecraft, Fortnite, Rocket League, etc . . .

 

[Desfrog]

Halo Infinite.

For 60fps console titles this will definitely raise the bar.

 

[Deleted member 4067]

Cyberpunk of course

 

[Xenosaga]

I am most excited for FFVIIR and I am sure it will review/sell well, but not sure if it will have any sort of impact in the industry, especially compared to the other two.

 

[Naga]

I don't see any of those having an impact on the industry (I'm not saying anything about their quality).

 

[Soviet]

Kinda feels like Cyberpunk might dissapoint. They are really trying to squeeze the Witcher 3 mission system into this futuristic city and it could turn out weird. Also, CD Projekt is notioriously bad at creating combat systems, and they are more important than even since it's a shooter. Bullet sponges enemies and bosses with glowing weak points? We already saw all of that in the trailers. But we'll see.

Also, industry impact? Like Modern Warfare 1? None of these will do anything like that.

 

[Monodrone]

Halo Infinite, most likely.

 

[pswii60]

Minecraft Earth

 

[Barrel Cannon]

This was my thought as well. I think people get caught up in trying to define games they love as the most impactful. I wouldn't say that's always the case(especially when the 3 games presented don't seem to be like they'll have any impact in changing the industry)

 

[Jakisthe]

Why are those The Big Three?

Anyway, no impact. Games that actually have an honest to goodness industry impact as like...once every 2 years, and they're very rarely "normal games done really well".

 

[MilesQ]

Ghosts of Tsushima, nothing on that list will come close to how good it will be.

It's going to blow everyone away, people think TLoU2 is impressive, just wait until Ghosts resurfaces.

 

[Deleted member 24417]

Cyberpunk 2077 for the same reasons OP shared with us

 

[kadotsu]

Cyberpunk could set a new toxicity standard when reality meets hype delusion with the game being merely great.

 

[cw_sasuke]

None ? They all do what we had before just better and at a higher quality level.
There isnt much to follow since 99% of devs/pubs dont have the budget for these kind of projects.

If at all it will probably some surprise hit - or maybe something crazy for xCloud/Stadia.

 

[Deleted member 10737]

BoTW 2.

.

out of those 3, i think the things cyberpunk is doing will be copied in way more games than the other 2.

 

[SuikerBrood]

Cyberpunk 2077 will be interesting to see. Wonder if they can somewhat meet expectations.

Most interested in how Halo Infinite will launch with the new console. It will be on Steam, on Game Pass, xCloud etc. If it doesn't have 20 million players in the first couple of months I'd say it's a disappointment. At that point MS should have the critical mass to support their sub service.

Gears 5 was only a small taste in the reach of Game Pass in my opinion. Their userbase on PC and in streaming still has to grow.

 

[Ohri-Jin]

Cyberpunk 2077 Questmaking probably but not character customization because Desert Black Online already is way ahead of that still from what we can tell.

Red Dead Redemption 2 also got dynamic events and arguably questmaking in the bag if you ask me.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake with all the flashy particles making a huge impact? I doubt it lol.

Naughty Dog could do it when it comes animation work sure and hopefully the emotional sweetspot.

I am extremely hyped for all these games, but the biggest impact of the industry seems way too hyperbole.

 

[Philippo]

TLOU2 for animations, graphics and voice acting and performance (i can already smell Baker's and Johnson's awards).

CP2077 for setting and design approach to RPGs (customization, mission variety and so on).

FFVIIR little impact outside of JRPGs.

 

[Raijinto]

Why those games? It'll be another Fortnite or Minecraft or some such that isn't an enthusiasts darling that will be a genuine cultural phenomena as per usual.

 

[jdstorm]

Judging by that list you'd bet TLoU2 due to it being an iterative improvement over the first game by an incredibly talented and well resourced team.

However since all three games are targeting current gen I'll go with neither.

 

[SaltyDuck]

TLOU2 will most likely inspire more developers in implementing motion matching in their games, so that

 

[Deleted member 40102]

I really think TLoU will set the bar in drama of video games really high, which it will catch a lot of people attention.

Cyberpunk going to be really fun open world , but its story probably meh at best so it won't be unique as TLoU part2.


FF7 is just a remade no matter how good it is, it still a remade ,but maybe nostalgic aspect of it will overwhelm older generations.


TLoU part2 imo will be the winner.

 

[Deleted member 15447]

I don't think FF7 will even sell that well, let alone make a big impact.

 

[eXistor]

I don't think any of those is gonna have any major impact on future games. These games are made with an insane budget, lots of time and a large dev-team. Most other devs can't hope to compete in that regard. The games themselves don't exactly look like they're breaking new ground either, they look more evolutionary than revolutionary. That's not me knocking those games, they all look very impressive, but I don't see see how they would influence anything.

 

[Joeyro]

I'm expecting that all three would raise the bar from their past games but i still think that they are mostly going to be iterative upgrades. I'm more intrigued about how Death Stranding can impact the industry and want to know more about Ghost of Tsushima.

 

[plow]

To clarify.

I haven't said that these games will have the biggest impact on the industry. These are just the most anticipated games.

I asked which one of them will have the biggest impact, if at all.

 

[Deleted member 8196]

TLOU2 will most likely inspire more developers in implementing motion matching in their games, so that

Click to shrink...

Motion Matching was already used by For Honor in 2017.

 

[Deleted member 56752]

I bet it'll be Halo Infinite

 

[Callibretto]

Final Fantasy VII R, it will revitalize AAA JRPG like FF7 did on ps1

 

[Deleted member 8196]

Biggest impact means reaching PUBG and Fortnite level of popularity, sales and success?

That's not gonna happen.

TLOU 2 will improve on TLOU, Cyberpunk 2077 will hopefully be the first real AAA RPG since Fallout New Vegas and FF7R might be good enough, but a big impact on the industry? Nah

 

[NekoNeko]

i only watched the 2019 e3 demo of cyberpunk but it looked very basic to me. what am i missing?

 

[AudioEppa]

The Last of Us Part II.

And a lot of people will be annoyed by it.

Can't fkn wait :)

 

[Jbone115]

Animal Crossing 😉

 

[bane833]

Halo Infinite.

It's another Halo. It's not going to change anything.

To be honest, none of these titles will set any kind of new benchmarks that will alter the industry simply because they already have a winning formula and will only enhance them, there will be some interesting benchmarks they set as you mentioned in terms of graphics or storytelling but nothing path breaking.

PUBG, Rainbow Six Siege, BoTW on the other hand really changed the industry in the sense that PUBG started the BR Craze which continues to this day, Rainbow Six showed developers that constant updates can turn around the game in its lifecycle and BoTW by releasing in February started the Q1 is the new Q4 trend.

Next gen, I anticipate games like Minecraft Earth or something in VR which will become the Killer App and open up the platform as we know it. I personally think Horizon Zero Dawn 2 will redefine how good open world games can look.

 

[Platy]

Isn't last of us December?

Mario Odyssey 2 will inspire the industry to keep being afraid to release games from genres that sells millions at Nintendo hand

 

[jelly]

I think TLOU2 will be a glimpse of next gen cinematic style turned up to 11 but who knows beyond that.

Cyberpunk, possible it raises the bar for an RPG or it struggles to straddle past and future.

Same for Halo, I hope Infinite is something fantastic but I worry it's going to be tame straddling two generations and takes a Destiny Halo route which might be cool but not completely awe inspiring.

I don't think we will be seeing anything that isn't already around the industry this gen to some degree, I think next gen will open some trailblazing ideas or allow them to flourish more than they have before instead of chosing a few things over other things.

 

[plow]

No, not at all. More like setting standards in a genre or in visuals. like God of War somewhat inspiring parts of Gears of War etc.
I'm not talking about a revolution like Fortnite, Pubg or LOL.

 

[FlintSpace]

FF7 will have mixed reviews and I doubt the expected Remake could redefine anything substantial to move the industry. Not badmouthing this game.

TloU2 and CP2077 are prime contenders obviously.
Personally I would say CP2077 will make majority of the headlines.

 

[MrS]

TLOU2, CP2077 and Elden Ring. The influence of Dark Souls is everywhere you look in the industry. I expect Elden Ring to go further than DS and for other devs to once again try to replicate its magic.

 

[Desfrog]

I think the tech is going to be prevelant next gen regardless of TLOU 2, Guerilla have already said they are using it in their next project.

 

[RowdyReverb]

Depends on how much they're changing the formula. I get the impression it's going to be a much-needed shake-up for the franchise, but we'll see

Yeah, like I love 3D Super Mario games. Most of them could be considered potential GOTG material. However to call any of them since 64 as industry changing would be silly.

 

[Ushojax]

I don't think TLOU2 or FFVIIR are going to influence anything. They are typically flashy cinematic games with gameplay that we've seen before. Cyberpunk might have a shot at actually shaking up some of the gameplay trends in the industry but I'm skeptical that they can deliver what they are promising. What we've seen so far looks more or less like Deus Ex.

I'd imagine it will be a title from Blizzard, Epic or Nintendo that actually leads us somewhere new, not one of these Hollywood experiences.

Yep, exactly (although I do wish more games too inspiration from 3D world's design philosophies)
