Whether the Gears Remaster charts or not depends on when it's released. It's a remaster of 1 game, so we're probably looking around $40 price-wise. If it's in the holidays (pls no), no chance. GOWIII:R has a better chance at charting considering it's being released with very little competition. I think it'll at least make the lower end of the top 10. Both of them seem more like bundle bait than anything, however.
This would actually make a good game. Let's make this a game.
OK GAF, Rank the upcoming press conferences by how excited you are for each one, and explain why.
1 - Sony. Uncharted 4 is currently my #1 most anticipated game, so there's that. At a Sony conference, there's so much that could happen, but I'll stick to the probable stuff. Rime, No Man's Sky, Until Dawn, The Nathan Drake Collection, shit tons of JPRGs, I want to see all of it. The question is how they're going to fit it all in 2 hours, what with Call of Duty(?), Battlefront, & Destiny all asking for room (I want to see those as well). Plus Ratchet & Clank never looked so good. Be still my beating heart. Lord, if GoW4, GT7, or Horizon show up, I won't make it.
2 - Nintendo. As much as I question Nintendo's business decisions as a company, the charm of their games never fails to pull me back in. Star Fox & Metroid are everyone's big hopes, but I'm hoping to see a lot of good 3DS games in store. This year has been pretty light (not that it matters, my backlog is huge), and I want to see more of Bravely Second and Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon. I hate admitting this, but I hope we get more Smash DLC as well.
3 - Microsoft. Even though I don't own an Xbox One, this is one of my most anticipated MS conferences in years. I think they're going to have a great, albeit predictable show. I don't think QB will be there, but I'm looking forward to seeing more of Halo 5, Scalebound, Fable Legends, and ROTTR. I also think one of either Crackdown or Gears will show up. Plus who knows what surprises they have in store after 3rd parties and indies have their say.
4 - EA. Other than the usual spoooooooooorts titles, EA actually has a lot of new stuff up their sleeves. Mass Effect 4 seems like a long shot, but I want to finally see some Battlefront gameplay and decide whether it's worth getting hyped for. Mirror's Edge 2 I hope to see, as well as the Need For Speed Reboot and whatever Criterion has cooking. That ATV game, right?
5 - Ubisoft. Ubisoft has a lot of great games on their plate leading up to the new year. I'm highly anticipating The Division, first and foremost. Though I think there's no way this game will make 2015, the concept of the game when it was first revealed sounded amazing. Only think I need to worry about is getting Ubisoft'd. Other than that, Assassin's Creed, R6 Siege, Just Dance, nice. Beyond Good & Evil 2. Please?
6 - Square Enix. More JRPGs all over my bodyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. Even though Square is going to have an Eidos-heavy show this year, I still hope and pray to the gods that Kingdom Hearts III shows up. While Hitman, Deus Ex, and Just Cause are all great, this ranking is solely based on KHIII. If it shows, move this conference up to #4.
7. - Bethesda. Fallout 4 is the obvious one here. I played most of the way through New Vegas and loved it. I never got to play Dishonored or Wolfenstein, so I'm looking forward to some new stuff to pique my interest. Elder Scrolls looks good as well, my cousin is pressuring me into buying it. But I want the whole Fallout 4 blowout please. Bethesda, don't disappoint.
8 - PC Gaming. The only reason I have it at the bottom here is because I have absolutely no idea what to expect. I won't lie, this conference seems like it has the greatest chance to become a shit show of fun proportions. I expect some good game announcements, and Phil should be coming over to spout whatever BS he has about Gaming and Windows 10, so there's that. The only thing iffy about this show is that it's supposed to be 3 hours long, have mercy. Hopefully it doesn't drag out too badly, but It's best to wait and see.
I'll jump on the hype ranking thing.
