I'm also surprised at how high Horizon is, beating Zelda, Mass Effect, FFXV and Dark Souls 3. Expectations are high for this game and I guess thats because of its promising reveal and gameplay trailers.

NeoGAF Voted: Most Anticipated Games of 2016
- Thread starter shinobi602
- Start date
just taking a look at the list
1. uncharted 4: you were a worthy foe.
2. persona 5: looking forward to this next year.
3. horizon: looks pretty cool
4. zelda: looking forward to whatever they do to it on nx.
5. dark souls iii:
6. m4ss effect: i'm kind of exhausted by this series after nothing making sense or mattering at all.
7. the last guardian: i want to believe
8. final fantasy versus xiii: nope.
9. deus ex: mankind divided: maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself. basically, it's made up of two separate words — "mank" and "ind." what do these words mean? it's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.
10. no man's sky: i really wish the developer the best. i think this might have been too hyped too early and will basically be 2016's spore.
honestly though, i'm looking forward to persona 5, zelda, and keeping my fingers crossed on the last guardian. i liked deus ex: human revolution too, but the sequel is going to be a little more dependent on my schedule. 2016's going to be a good year.

2015 was the only year i disliked in games, but 2016 is looking i credible, pretty much every game on that list i want.

We don't know anything about the melee of the game, so you drawing conclusions based on nothing confused me, that's all.
Agreed, maybe at this point, i think im just done with open world and crafting / collection in games for a while.
Some of the art looks great though, and i do hope it does well, if only cause i feel its pretty uncommon to have console flagship studios develop their own IPs in recent years.
Pretty sure in one of the interviews somewhere it was mentioned it does feature melee combat. She even has a sword/spear. I'd imagine they just haven't showed it off yet. I mean, it features in the weapon cycle. I doubt she carries such a weapon only for one hit kills or basic usage.
Its a great list thx for the work Shinobi! And I did Ok on Gaf similarity, 3 position were exactly the same.
And Im pretty happy that South Park wasnt that forgotten, it got to at least top 40

Mmm. Im pretty sure I voted Planet Coaster as my number 1 (and saw it also in someones list) but is not even on the OP list.

Glad to see Project Setsune, Star Ocean 5, and Dragon Quest VII ar respectable places. Had those in my top 10. Persona 5 has quite the hype on GAF and I'm somewhat shocked considering how almost 10 years ago Persona 3 was a sleeper hit amongst AAA games like Mass Effect 1.

I switched to an alt account to ditch my embarrassing tag so I could be an embarrassing Naughty Dog fanboy in peace. Ask me anything!
What a great year it is going to be! I am so excited!
I didn't vote for Horizon Zero Dawn despite being really impressed with the E3 reveal. It actually showed gameplay unlike the 1886 devs but for some reason I feel it may end up being what 1886 was for linear games but to open world games, by that I mean bog standard in every way imaginable. I put Guerilla in the same league as RAD (before 1886 release). I do genuinely want this game to deliver so I won't get myself invested in it like 1886. That way if it sucks, it sucks and I don't care but if it's good, it will be a pleasant surprise.
It had me at robot dinosaurs.

If it comes out this year, it's gonna be an just ok open world action RPG thing, but very pretty and the writing will be terrible. Zero faith in Guerilla Games to do anything great. Not The Order bad, but just unremarkable in all ways outside the visuals. There will be another GAF thread about how sick of open world collecting and crafting we are.

I'd have a bit more faith personally. Fallout: New Vegas' lead writer is on this, as well as quite a few game and quest designers from CDPR among other studios. Good signs.
I bookmarked this post to always remind me why I should be excited

It's always interesting to see how my list compares to Gaf. Not a single game I listed is in the Gaf top 5, though going back I'd maybe add Horizon to my honorable mention list. Plus, other then maybe hearing the titles before, I really have no idea about Zero Time Dilemma or Fire Emblem Fates; so I'm surprised to see those so high.
It's really interesting to see the ranking of the many indie games releasing this year, some are much higher then I would've guess (Firewatch), and others much lower (Hellblade. Tacoma)
Edit: Also noticed from the list, that at least from a games perspective, a lack of (high ranking) VR titles. It will be interesting to see the adoption rate, without any "system seller" anticipated titles.

While you're at it, include Zelda Wii U in that sentence as well.
Agreed on all counts.

New open world RPG with the writer of New Vegas and quest designer from The Witcher 3?
Yup, no reason to be excited.
I just realized that Ace Attorney 6 is #46, with DanganRonpa 3 being many places above it. What the hell, y'all, the Ace Attorney games are superior in every way! Besides, Danganronpa 3 will get its time to shine in next year's list because there's no way a western release is this year!

This isn't a western only release voting/results thread.
And superior in every way seems to be a subjective standard, yes? I can assure you DanganRonpa has a better sadistic teddy-bear, which makes your statement objectively false. :-D

They haven't even hinted it as a 2016 release plus there is 2.8 releasing this year.

persona 5 tops FFXV by a wide margin. Good going turn based
I can agree with half of those top 10.
No interest in Persona, not confident in Final Fantasy, still confused on No Man's Sky, Deus Ex hasn't convinced me it'll be anything but mediocre, and Horizon looks beautiful, but I have no faith that Guerrilla Games can deliver after being burned so hard at the PS4 launch by Killzone.
Uncharted will deliver, because of Naughty Dog. Zelda will deliver because I've never been disappointed with a 3D Zelda title (and I kinda expect this will be why I buy the NX). Mass Effect Trilogy was an awesome experience, so I suspect Andromeda will follow. Bloodborne hooked me on FROM's capabilities, so Dark Souls 3 is very exciting. The Last Guardian can't be bad, right? Right!?

Based on what? The game itself, or the release date?
Regarding release date, as of right now, it's due 2016. Not much we can do, but hope it comes out, and deal with it if it gets delayed.
Regarding the game's quality, well, you can say the same thing about any new IP.
Why should anyone be less concerned about games like Scalebound, Quantum Break, and especially Recore?

Exactly, people do forget the GG are investing huge effort and talent in Horizon!
Love how they talk about track record, given that all KZ games have sold millions of copies, have their dedicated communities and in my personal opinion of course, the KZ franchise has the most solid gameplay when it comes to FPSs since Quake 1,2 and 3!
