NeoGAF Voted: Most Anticipated Games of 2016

Inuhanyou

Believes Dragon Quest is a franchise managed by Sony
I think it's just down to a complete lack of western media and date. But everything they show for the Japanese release seems to get people excited. People loved the update today that shows the artwork that they're using for skills

No, i mean i'm surprised that it even got that high. I really like what i've seen of the game, but many times it feels like the threads on it are so barren of people interested.

The biggest threads are the ones mocking the character designs as 'too animu' and whatever.

Of course, the sample size is really small compared to the amount of users.

I also feel bad for World of Final Fantasy considering how awesome it looks, but atleast its doing better than the next Tales

OMG you all! We can't wait to finish this up and release it. I know being most nominated means a lot to the gang here. We really appreciate it!

Thanks everyone for putting this thread together and everyone who voted.

Just give us that third 10/10 Arne, Im pretty confident you guys will do it
 
Nothing about QB is remotely interesting to me aside from the nice production values. Nothing about it seems overly exciting.
Pretty much how I feel. The graphics and effects look nice at least. I'm really not digging the game tying in with a television show.

There is no doubt it will be a fantastic game. Keep up the great work.
 
Fun spread; a few rares, some Big Hypes, and a few in between.

...lets hope for no repeats next year, though.
Oh, interesting idea!

My spread ended up being

1 --> 2
2 --> 1
3 --> 21
4 --> 11
5 --> 6
6 --> 17
7 --> 3
8 --> 7
9 --> 99
10 --> 25

Huh. Interesting that a lot of mine were really close and only one (Dirt Rally 9 v 99) was really off. Guess I have pretty mainstream tastes this year :p

I'm impressed Project Diva X got top 75 considering a release outside of Japan has yet to be mentioned for it XD
yes I voted for it

Can't say it fits with my own personal view much at all, but it's not an unsurprising list

Of the top 10 only 2 really interest me, Dark Souls 3 and Deus Ex 4

As cool as it is to be quoted in the OP, I wish I had proofread my post. The sentence structure is all over the place lol.
 
I think he's saying he doubts it'll come out this year. tbh it doesn't seem that crazy to me, especially to warrant this type of reaction.

Your question about Persona 5 is the same in context as his "shitty post"

Meaning he's LOL'ing that people expecting it to be released in 2016.
oi, fair enough. I took it to mean that it's not a game worth anticipating. Either way, dude could've added more than just dropping an ambiguous line and then bailing.
 
There is soooooooo much hate in this thread. For the list in general, individual selections, "sonygaf", etc.

WTF is the matter with some of you? It's about what each individual person is excited to play...not you.

People are some salty motherfuckers.

And after all the hard work Shinobi put into this.
 
Welcome to Gaf.

Yea, it's no secret that gaf is extremely pro Sony
how so though? anyone who is a gamer with a professional email can become a gaffer. how would it be that it's mostly sony-centric?

the only thing i'm thinking and I feel like i'd be called a fool for saying this, is that just going by sales, perhaps the majority of the global gaming community is on playstation.
The amount of excitement for Mass Effect is truly puzzling.

1. We've seen nothing on the game.
2. It's being developed by a completely different team, largely staffed by the Army of Two team.
3. Mass Effect 3 was such a colossal goat fuck that you'd think it would've soured people on the franchise.

I guess it's true, stick a known brand name on something and people will go for it no matter what.
1. We saw a trailer that demonstrates what the graphics will be like.
2. I didn't know that, but the game may be the beginning of a new trilogy so who knows what it'll be like with a new team
3. The colossal goat fuck that was Me3 does not undo the beautiful thing that was Me2.

I'm probably reading too much into it, but it's funny to see Dark Souls 2 on 2nd place in 2014, Bloodborne on 4th (2015) and now Dark Souls 3 down to 5th place for this year.

franchise fatigue?
 
If Bayonetta 2 can top a GOTY list, I think it's possible. They just need the right game, and the competition a weaker year.

Idk I don't see it ever happening. Halo 5 didn't even make it. (Not that it deserved to, in retrospect) The Wii U has a much stronger following on GAF than the Xbox One, I think.

What about Titanfall? Or are we talking exclusives as in "not on PC"?

You answered your own question :p

probably a little, but don't need to worry about that after this release

:(

Congrats, can't wait to play it!
 
Disappointing results, but also not that surprising. That's what happens when you get good conferences in a year.
Also, DOAX3 in the top 100! Cool to see Ni-Oh getting his own banner too, and gg Zelda for staying this high with no info.

What exactly is disappointing about the results? That is a very vague comment.

Mine's fairly far:

1 --> 2
2 --> 27
3 --> 48
4 --> 17
5 --> 50
6 --> 14

You answered your own question :p

?

I was asking you what you personally consider, because some people here would call Titanfall an "Xbox One exclusive," while others wouldn't.
 
Welcome to Gaf.

Tell us how you really feel.

Woo! Cosmic Star Heroine in the Top 100!

Not a bad spot to be in either, considering how crazy 2016 is looking at the moment and that everyone only had ten spots.

Anyway, pity TLG didn't end up higher but I like that list. Funny how we've already got one top 20 game delayed to 2017 though (and the Xbone's second highest exclusive too), hopefully it's the last one of those.

Oh I don't think it's a great post by any means. But speculating whether certain games will make it out is a general trend in these threads, so I don't really have a problem with it.

You have to consider the competition. I can't remember everything but I would guess Dark Souls 3 is facing steeper competition.
 
You think the order would have been the same if Sony had bad conferences and/or if Nintendo/MS had good ones?

Yes. The list is perfectly fine. I'm anticipating every game on that list.

What would you change about the list? What exactly did your list look like? Why would your list be better than the consensus?

This. So much this.

Glad to see Ratchet not falling that much behind on the list.

I counted how many of the Top 25 games will be playable on each platform:

1. PS4 - 19
2. PC - 11
3. XONE - 10
4. 3DS - 2
5. Wii U, PS3, PS Vita - 1
 
A PS4 Slim launch would send sales skyrocketing this year, coupled with these upcoming titles.
I think it's too early for a slim. It came this time last gen because Ps3 needed a bit of revitalization, but the Ps2 and 1 slim came closer to the end of each's respective gen.

NP, deliver us something great.

I'm slightly surprised that Fable Legends never made the top 260!

Well people have to anticipate it :p

I'm staring at my PS4 right now and can't imagine it being smaller than it already is, to be honest.

Anything smaller will overheat like a mofo.
 
World Of Final Fantasy (number 68) and Bloodborne got robbed!

Awesome that half of that list is PS4 exclusive. I'll take Quantum Break over Mass Effect any day but other than those games I like the list. Zero Time Dilemma might be a little low for my tastes as well. If it's as good as the first couple games we're in for a treat.

And switch Deus Ex with Nier.

DOAX should've been higher
But I guess the competitions are stiff

They could certainly use one with FFXV DQXI launches in jpn
 
I didn't do too badly. Three top 10 games.

Me(Gaf).

1.(14) Mirror's Edge: Catalyst
2.(55) Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen (PC)
3.(6) Mass Effect: Andromeda
4.(59) Shadow Warrior 2
5.(18) X-COM 2
6.(9) Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
7.(4). Zelda U
8.(65) Unravel
9.(230) Little Devil Inside
10.(NA) Necropolis

Wow, i was really the only person to vote for Gigantic?

Damn people, go sign up for the beta already.

It didn't even cross my mind. I played the beta for a few hours earlier this year.
