- The Last Guardian: A once-in-a-generation kind of game with incredible pedigree behind it.
- Uncharted 4: A bittersweet finale to the current Uncharted arc.
- Persona 5: Students by day; cat burglars by night, fighting demons while juggling school work and social links.
- Street Fighter 5: The next iteration of the iconic fighting franchise.
- Nier: Automata: Take one part wacky narrative, and one one part trademark Platinum action and you have this game.
- Horizon: Zero Dawn: Hopefully a reprieve from the Killzone franchise allows Guerrilla Games to craft a game where their gameplay can match their technical expertise.
- Dark Souls 3: Another swan song of sorts. Miyazki's last hurrah with the Souls series, or so he claims.
- Gravity Daze 2: Breathtaking visuals and a charming world come to life on the big screen.
- No Man's Sky: Space, the final frontier. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before.
- Nioh: Samurai Souls with Kurosawa's unfinished script intrigues.
1. Persona 5 : Persona 3&4 are among my favorite games of all time and the sole reason I've got back to playing JRPGs again. The last trailer looked amazing and I can't wait to experience this game next year
2. Zero Escape - Zero Time Dilemma : The Zero Escape series is also among my favorite games of all times. I just love the story and characters soo much and I am a sucker for puzzles. Zero Escape 2 was one of the few games which made me cry because of the fate of a character, and I mean I REALLY cried my heart out. I am so glad the fans were vocal enough to ensure the final part of the series will be created.
3. Ace Attorney 6 : Again this series is among my favorite games of all time, together with Persona and Zero Escape I could possibly form my overall top 10. Murder mystery is my favorite story genre and the characters are so great. Paired with great music and courtroom gameplay, I am sure this new entry will be a must play title for me.
4. New danganronpa V3 : It's like a combination of Ace Attorney and Battle Royale, which alone is already awesome. But it has it's own take on despair and hope and I am looking forward to this.
5. Fire Emblem Fates : Fire Emblem is great and while this game had some controversy regarding some gameplay elements I am pretty sure I will really enjoy it. The story usually isn't too great, but teh gameplay is top notch.
6. Dark Souls III : While I actually really like the way the story is presented to the players in Souls games I mostly play it for teh gameplay. DS III seems to be a little bit faster, borrowing some gameplay elements from Bloodborne, which should be really interesting.
7. Genei Ibun Roku #FE : I am actually happy it's not just your standard SMT game with some Fire Emblem characters, but actually something new. Looks really interesting.
2016 is going to be amazing. All my favorite series get a new entry and all of them look really promising.

1. Final Fantasy XV: It been quite the ride, 3 years in workable/actual development. From the demo I love the look of the game monster designs are top notch, the cast work really well off of each other and feel like friends/brothers, animations in this game is crazy good, music Yoko is incredible and I like the story of the game (brotherhood, roadtrip, a quest to get back the crystal, revenge). The combat was good for the alpha demo and with magic and such it can only get better and if they are able to pull of a FF in open world this game...March event here we come.
2. Uncharted 4: Neil and Bruce heading the game taking cues from the last of us like being more open and free, better sounding guns, score, graphics and the beta was really fun. Can't wait
3. Horizon: Dawn: Guerrilla with the gameplay (I like them for the most part), quest designers from Witcher 2 & 3, the lead writer from Fallout New Vegas (Best WRPG last gen), the creative team behind this game have the chance to make something special.
4. Dragon Quest 11: Traditional JRPG, two skus paying homage; one to series beginnings and the other most ambitious it was and with Hori behind it and him getting the social stuff out It will be great.
5. Street Fighter 5: This game is one fire, really good starting cast way better the SF4 music, stages, Ono, graphics, very good gameplay, cross platform with PC and PS4, good strategy moving forward. Capcom has changed from last gen.
6. Last Guardian
7. Rachet & Clank Remake; This series holds a special place for me because these series helped me get through a hard point in my life.

2016 is insanely packed so if the game has made it anywhere on the list, it means I'm ultra hyped for it.
1. Dark Souls III : Potentially the last game in my favorite franchise of all time. I am expecting the usual greatness and I'm sure From Soft will deliver. Every single piece of footage we've gotten assures me From still has their head in the game
2. Persona 5 : After loving Persona 3 and 4 and being a fan of the SMT fusion system I've become very excited for this game and after seeing the trailers and all the improvements they've made to the dungeons while retaining the tastefully stylized aesthetics of the previous games, I think it has the potential to become one of my favorite JRPGs ever
3. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End : 10-12 of fast-paced action, superbly written characters, funny dialogue and just pure, clean fun. Also I feel shit's gonna go way down near the end and I can't wait to see how everything unfolds
4. The Last Guardian : The next game from one of the most influential game developers and creator of ICO and Shadow of the Colossus and it looks like it's gonna be at least every bit as good as those games
5. Horizon: Zero Dawn : Everything about this game looks promising. The premise is cool, the setting is cool, the protagonist is cool, whittling down mecha dinos and using their own mega laser blasters against them is cool. I wanna get dropped into the world they've created and find out the secrets of the old civilizations
6. Nier: Automata : A chance to get on another Yoko Taro's wild ride, this time with Platinum gameplay? Sign me up.
7. Mass Effect: Andromeda : I put this on the list precisely because we didn't get that much official info, because I think this franchise has so much potential, it's up to Bioware to not fuck it up. If they make a game that's as good as Mass Effect 2, I'll be pleased.
8. Yakuza 0 : Kazuma and Majima in their younger days. Hijinks and great brawling gameplay will ensue
9. Ratchet & Clank : Gonna be my first R&C game. I like the colors, weapons and level design
10. Ni-Oh : Neat creature designs, looks a bit like Souls, a bit like Onimusha.
World of Final Fantasy :
Mirror's Edge: Catalyst :
Dishonored 2 :
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided :
No Man's Sky :
Special mention: It's TBA but Divinity: Original Sin 2 and also Dragon Quest XI which will probably not come to the West until 2017. SMT IV Final too but the west release date has not been disclosed yet
inb4 half of these get delayed

1. Mass Effect: Andromeda - I love Mass Effect more than any other game series, so this is the only answer. (P.S. Control ending should be canon. The best ending.)
2. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End - The Last of Us is my all-time favourite game, so of course I'm looking forward to this. Looking forward to seeing what next set-piece Naughty Dog throws at us.
3. Dishonored 2 - I love the world of Dishonored and have been clambering for more ever since I played the first.
4. Horizon: Zero Dawn - I'm really looking forward to seeing more of the robotic creatures and gameplay mechanics in the game.
5. Ratchet & Clank - The first proper Ratchet & Clank game since A Crack in Time. It may be a remake, but I still want it!
6. No Man's Sky - If this game reaches it's potential it will be revolutionary. I look forward to finding out.
7. Firewatch - What a simple, yet unique premise. This feels exactly like what a modern day adventure game should feel like. I can't wait.
8. Mafia III - I loved the atmosphere of Mafia II and have high hopes for this. Also the main character looks a lot like me, so there's that.
9. Crackdown 3 - This game will come out almost 10 years after the original and I can't wait. Hoping endlessly that this comes to PC.
10. Quantum Break - Like Alan Wake, I hope this comes to PC. These masters of storytelling look like they are on to a winner here.

1. Uncharted 4 : It's a close one between my top 2 but the MP Beta, the PSX Footage and Panel have gotten me hyped through the roof!
2. Persona 5 : Persona 4 Golden is one of the few JRPGs that I actually enjoyed
and if 5 is anywhere close to being that awesome mix between P4G and Catherine I'm hoping for, I can already see it being my personal GotY.
3. The Last Guardian : Shadow of the Colossus is my favourite game of all time and Ueda has inspired me a a lot. Can't wait to see how his next game turns out.
4. NieR Automata : Love NieR and Drakengard 3 was one of my GotYs 2013. The thought of a Drakengard-verse game with Platinum games is mind-nummingly delightful..
5. Gravity Rush 2 : really enjoyed Gravity Rush 1 and I'm sucker for Miyazaki films so I can't wait to get some more of that awesome gameplay + Ghibli visuals.
6. The Witness : super beautiful art-style with puzzles by the mind that made Braid? Hyped!
7. Street Fighter V : I'm not the most competitive of players but I've always sunken my fare share of time into Street Fighter.
8. What Remains of Edith Finch : the concept of telling multiple short-stories with varying gameplay has me very intrigued.
9. Horizon Zero Dawn : awesome world, character and "monster" design with a tbh kind of ridiculous but nevertheless super interesting setting.
10. Dark Souls III : I find it kind of sad that I'm not that much hyped for Dark Souls III but having played Bloodborne all year and just finished the DLC I'm really feeling a strong fatigue for this franchise.
Sorry P5
2. Persona 5 : Persona 4 Golden is one of the few JRPGs that I actually enjoyed
/loved

Just for reference!!!
Forget number 10, looks like number 1 will be delayed!
Can Uncharted go back to back as the most anticipated game of 2014 and 2015?
1. Dark Souls 3 - "SoulsBorne > All" member here. However, I'm also glad From is wrapping this up and moving on to other things, can't wait to see what they have in store!
2. Zero Escape 3- Super happy that this is going to be completed. I hope the story doesn't go too much further off the rails, but I have faith that it'll tell a complete story.
3. Last Guardian- worried a bit, but if even some of the core Ico/SOTC magic is there, I'm good with it.
4. NieR Automata- liked the first a lot, almost loved it for the great story, but the gameplay itself was a little bland. Hopefully this one's story both ties in to the first and we know the gameplay is a lot better!
5. Persona 5 - arbitrary placement on the list, hopefully for the last time.
6. Danganronpa 3 - more VN goodness
Games we don't know all that much about, but look good/interesting:
7. Ni-Oh
8. Zelda WiiU (/NX?
)
9. Horizon: Zero Dawn
A game that is mandated to be on these lists even though the hype train has been to the moon and crashed back a few hundred times:
10. FF XV

1. Fire Emblem Fates: My favourite game series is getting another entry and I need it in my veins.
2. Uncharted 4: Naughty Dog hasn't let me down yet.
3. XCOM 2: My computer is not specced for gaming but Enemy Within is a favourite game of mine and I hope it does well enough for Firaxis to consider a console port.
4. Zero Time Dilemma: Memento Mori
5. Persona 5: It'll be my first time jumping into the series but the theme and style has caught my interest.
6. Firewatch: Novel idea with interesting visuals and solid voice acting. I'm in.
7. Street Fighter V: Looks great, interesting characters and the ability to pay for DLC with in game currency has my curiosity peaked.
8. Bravely Second: Bravely Default was great despite the dragged out ending and we need to remind Square that this is the type of game we want more of.
9. Dragon Quest VII/VIII: Solid RPG's to play on the go and I'm itching to replay 8.
10. The Division: Cautiously Optimistic. I really like the premise and what I have seen so far but Ubisoft may take my loot and leave me to die at launch.
My bank account will be empty this February but I will be very happy.

1) NieR;Automata
NieR being one of the most entertaining games as well as having the most beautiful soundtrack ever made for a video game, I can only look forward to the sequel. I still don't own a PS4 and this game is the reason why.
2) Persona 5
The only recent console RPG franchise I feel does Turn Based right and fun.

- Uncharted 4: A Thief's End : Not just Naughty Dogs' final entry in the Uncharted saga, but also now shaped by the people behind The Last of Us (hello Neil), one of my all-time favorite games.
- Gran Turismo Sport : I was no fan of the previous two Gran Turismos but I sincerely hope Polyphony Digital will be able to push out a much better game than 5/6, now that they don't have to worry about the PS3's "weird" architecture.
- Sherlock Holmes The Devil's Daughter : One of my surprise hits of 2014. If they can polish up the game, come up with a couple of cool cases and iterate on the gameplay, I'm going to love this.
- Firewatch : Now that I know it's not "just" another first-person survival horror game, it instantly shot up my Most Wanted list. Can't wait to explore this beautiful world.
- Mafia III : While many questions about the game's quality remain, in particular because a 2014 founded studio was tasked to develop this, I remain hopeful it'll turn out great. Please turn out great. Please.
- Hitman : After Absolution disappointed, it very much looks like Io-Interactive have taken the fan feedback seriously and are going back to the roots of the series.
- Unravel : Yarny. Awwww!
- Quantum Break : Alan Wake was arguably the best 360 exclusive game for me and Remedy games surely didn't disappoint before, either. I still have mixed feelings on if they can deliver on the premise of the game and will be able to tie both game and "TV" aspect together in a meaningful, but also fun and entertaining way.
- Yooka-Laylee : First game I ever backed on Kickstarter. I grew up with Rare's games and loved the Banjo games in particular, so it has all the feels on its side.
- The Last Guardian : A long time coming.
Games that would've made the list had they gotten a 2016 date: Detroit: Become Human, Rime

I would say so since the march event, Tabata sayings (the date has been set long ago, it will be out in 2016), Kagari hinting at it plus it being in the opening image

1. The Legend of Zelda Wii U : I doubt this will be the 2016 game I'll have the most fun playing but as a long time moderate fan of the series, this game has a real air of mystery about it what with the trickle of pre-release info, teaser, and weird VGAs video and of course the complete silence about the game for the entire year. Zelda is #1 mainly because out of any game on this list this is the one I'm most curious about.
2. DOOM : The E3 showcase left me cold but after playing the multiplayer alpha for 20+ hours and having a blast with it put all of that footage into better context. If the simple acts of moving around and shooting feel half as good in the single player as they do in the MP, this will easily be the best monster shooter since Serious Sam 3.

1. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End: No explanation needed. It's Naughty Dog.
2. Ratchet and Clank: Looks amazing. Got that itch again for Ratchet.
3. Dishonored II. The original was my personal GOTY in 2012.
4. Horizon Zero Dawn: Killzone is a personal favorite series of mine, and this looks like an exciting new IP from Guerilla.
5. Dark Souls III: More Souls. Seems like the gameplay is just a tad quicker,borrowing some design from Bloodborne.
6. Deus Ex Mankind Divided: Loved the previous title and this one looks better on all fronts.
7. Yooka-Laylee: We need more good 3D platformers again, and I can't wait for this one.
8. Mass Effect Andromeda: Come on, it's a new Mass Effect.
9. Outlast II: Loved, loved the original and the expansion. Hoping this one is even more twisted.
10. Gravity Rush 2: The jump to PS4 has me incredibly excited. The design of the first game is stunning.

Just curious, why is Recore on your top 10 guys? I mean all we've had is a CGI trailer, right?
Also smutpeddler, you can't have an expansion in your top 10 btw. And all Xbox One exclusives, nice.
1. Persona 5 - A sequel to probably one of the freshest RPG series available.
2. Uncharted 4 - All signs point to a goddamn stellar finish to the series.
3. Ni no Kuni 2 - Sequel to one of the best games on the PS3, if they put in even half as much goddamn love into this one as they did in the first one, i'm sold.
4. Dark Souls 3
5. Gravity Rush 2 - Never played the first one but was always blown away by the art and the playstyle.
6. No Man's Sky - Literally my PSVR dream game right here.
7. Gran Turismo: Sport - Polyphony isn't going to disappoint with their PS4 debut.
8. XCOM 2
9. FFVII:R
10. Nier: Automata
Persona and Uncharted are interchangable for me. Both must buys.
Horizon hasn't yet hooked me on it's premise, but I could see it getting up there quick.
