We say that every year but this time I truly believe it is. Especially that most of the games are my cup of tea
Now imagine if GTA6 also released this year

I've removed games I have no interest in
If the above all release and live up to my expectations then it'll be one of the best years.

It lacks a huge Nintendo game (3D Mario or Zelda) and Monster Hunter title for me, for it to be truly generational. Other than that, really great list.

Buying RE9, the marvel game, GTA 6, E-day, Saros, Phanthom blade zero, and probably lords of the fallen.

For me there is one game I'm looking forward to somewhat --> RE9.
So no, not really. But at least the above makes it better than 2025.

It will be a good year, but I except 2027 to be better (regarding my personal tastes)

Fully agree
Up there with 1996 in terms of long running IP getting their starts.

Anyway, in 2026 I'll most likely mostly be playing games not from 2026 because my favorite GO-TOs are "forever games" like flight sims or mil-sims.
With that said, I see at least three or so games on that list I'll be eagerly checking out.

Not with that list of games.
Entirely depends on what comes out on Switch 2.

2025 looks to be better with DS2, KCD2 and OBVIOUSLY GOTG Expedition 33 (plus Mafia, GoY, Metal Gear Delta and few others).
GTA6 is the biggest game ever and I really like Resident Evil series but other than that I don't see anything that interesting to me on that list. Many will be delayed and HL3 is not gonna happen EVER.

Mid 30's. The early and mid 2000's was a crazy exciting time. The idea of what games could be was completely unknown. Developers were experimenting way more and shitting out games every 2 years.
Having said that, all of the exclusive games were pretty equally divided among Playstation, Xbox, and PC. I only played on Playstation, as I bet most gamers only played on one console or a PC. Nowadays, 95% of games comes to every platform, except for Nintendo. From that perspective, 2026 looks way better

There isn't a single game on that list that would make me buy it Day One unless reviews were glowing and previews looked amazing.

4 on there sounding solid.
GTA6
Forza Horizon 6
Fable
007 First Light
One could hold out hope for a shadow Halo drop but it would be futile.

Just a thought
If it weren't for the pandemic how many of these would have released last year?
Covid really did a number on game dev this gen.

From what I've seen from State of Decay 3 and GTA 6, yes, it absolutely has a chance to be one of the greatest, but need more than 2 mega great games.

If we were honest with ourselves most of these would be buried deep under indie tab on steam in today's incredibly diverse and fantastic gaming world.

With the state of western, modern AAA developers? Not a chance.

We've gotten this exact thread every year for the last two decades now, it's just trite at this point, I'm sorry. No, there will not be a Half Life 3.
Regardless, it looks alright for weebs like me. Looking forward to
RE9
Pragmata
Onimusha
Bloodstained 2
Nioh 3
Romeo is a Dead Man
Stranger Than Heaven
Game Freak Souls-Like
Hoping to see a new trailer for the Fumito Ueda game and a confirmation that it isn't in complete development hell...

Large portions of this board will initially love and then declare as ratchet shit every single one of these games.
