Support NeoGAF

[SephLuis]

Almost 40 games that I am interested in, if they all launch this year. Dear Lord, help my wallet.

 

[Off-Kilter]

My list

1. Final Fantasy XV
2. No Man's Sky
3. The Last Guardian
4. Dark Souls 3
5. Uncharted 4
6. Ratchet & Clank
7. Horizon: Zero Dawn
8. Hitman
9. Street Fighter V
10. Star Fox 0

6 of my top 10 is in GAF's top 10. Mission accomplished?

 

[RespectThySole]

1. Scalebound (#19)
2. Nier: Automata (#12)
3. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End (#1)
4. Persona 5 (#2)
5. Mass Effect: Andromeda (#6)
6. Quantum Break (#15)
7. Gears of War 4 (#26)
8. Cuphead (#43)
9. Ni-Oh (#24)
10. Dark Souls III (#5)

 

[CMojicaAce]

You can play 9 put of the top 10 if you have a PS4. Damn.

 

[CrazyHal]

What about Dragon's Dogma online?

[shinobi602]

edit: I wonder, which voter is closest to NeoGAF's overall results? I remember the 2014 GOTY results having that, with the affinity recommendations or whatever

You might be thinking of the GOTY thread. I don't have access to a parser like they do.

Going back to my list vs GAF overall

1. Uncharted 4 - #1 GAF - Duh

2. Nier Automata - #12 GAF - About where I expected, top 15 placement

3. Mass Effect: Andromeda - #6 GAF - This feels about right. GAF loves Mass Effect, but the last thing most people remember is that damn ME3 ending, and we haven't seen shit from the game yet.

4. Dark Souls 3 - #5 GAF - Only surprised that Horizon was above it, but I guess I shouldn't be shocked considering the E3 Game of the Show thing.

5. Street Fighter V - #11 GAF - see Nier, another popular PS4 exclusive but not as widely accessible as some of the others

6. Deus Ex: Mankind Dived - #9 GAF - Had a feeling this would be top 10, just going by all the distress in the delay thread. Human Revolution was quite popular here, and this looks to be an even better version.

7. Shadow Warrior 2 - #59 GAF - Sounds right

8. Iconcoclasts -#166 GAF - Top 200! This is gonna surprise people, I can feel it. Noitu Love 2 showed a lot of promise.

9. Ni-Oh - #24 GAF - Top 25 is shocking to me for a Dark Souls rip-off by the Ninja Gaiden 3 team, but I gotta stop being shocked at Sony's dominance in these things. People have PS4 and they want new games.

10. Gears of War 4 - #26 GAF - Almost top 25! Not bad for a Xbone exclusive with a mediocre E3 showing that nobody could see.

You might be thinking of the GOTY thread. I don't have access to a parser like they do.

I know, I was wondering if you could've done something similar

 

[Elfstruck]

You think the order would have been the same if Sony had bad conferences and/or if Nintendo/MS had good ones?

Are you saying that ppl anticipate UC4 the most because Sony showed the holy trinity? Last year, Sony's conference was meh yet UC4 was still the most anticipated game.

 

[SavoyPrime]

Man, 2016 is looking to be a good year. A damn good year.

 

[dancrane212]

Nice to see Quantum Break moving up to 15 from 18. I wonder where it will chart in 2017?

 

[Shin-Ra]

Well it wasn't confirmed for 2016 so it was ineligible.

I don't think Dreams, Hunger, Full Throttle or Summer Lesson are announced for this year either, but it's no biggie.

 

[Morrigan Stark]

1 -> 5 .Dark Souls III
2 -> 93. Cosmic Star Heroine
3 -> 3. Horizon: Dawn Zero
4 -> 22. Dishonored 2
5 -> 86. Salt & Sanctuary
6 -> 188. Death's Gambit
7 -> 216. CrossCode
8 -> 55. Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen (PC)
9 -> 9. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
10 -> 24. NiOh

Didn't actually expect 2 perfect matches in the rankings, lol. Everything else is way off.

Again?
Dude, are you seriously posting that every effing day?

???

I think "GAF is very pro Sony" should replace the "Bloodborne got robbed" meme. xD

 

[chadskin]

Thanks for putting this together, shinobi. 2016 is going to be a great year.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I feel about half of these are likely to getting delayed to 2017(Persona 5, Horizon, Mass Effect, TLG, No Man's Sky) ...and the other half will come out only after been delayed for 6+ months lol. With the exception of Dark Souls 3, I suppose.

 

[shinobi602]

Thanks for all the kind words guys. Comments like yours motivate me to continue these each year. 2016's going to be killer.

 

[AstroNut325]

This has to be a misprint. TLG is 2116, not 2016.

Great job Shinobi.

 

[Sheriff_Battlesnake]

Totally awesome job! And you used my thing, thanks for using my thing!

I was going to joke about taking first place in 2017, but I enjoy having my innards not eviscerated. NO PRESSURE OR ANYTHING.

 

[Regiruler]

Overwatch is only 25th?

The fuck?

 

[injurai]

1. -> 6 Mass Effect: Andromeda
2. -> 8 Final Fantasy XV
3. -> 9 Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
4. -> 23 Ratchet & Clank
5. -> 1 Uncharted 4
6. -> 7 The Last Guardian
7. -> 64 Setsuna
8. -> 20 Firewatch
9. -> 3 Horizon: Zero Dawn
10. -> 2 Persona 5

Setsuna deserves more attention than Bravely Second imo.

 

[RoboPlato]

Always love seeing the results. Great job Shinobi and team.

My Horizon quote made the cut too!

Looking at all the stuff that made the long list is exciting too. Really a varied year coming.

[Regiruler]

I'm guessing Monster Hunter X wasn't even confirmed for a 2016 release, hence why basically nobody voted for it.

As long as it comes out and is good, 2017 will be a fi-AAARGH JUST GIVE IT TO ME THIS YEAR PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!

You edited...

 

[shanafan]

260 games, and no Call of Duty? Say what you will about the franchise, but it's still an awfully popular game.

Call of Duty has not been announced so its not eligible.

 

[wapplew]

The fuck?

Not many played the beta.

Overwatch and TLG should be higher, TLG should in top 5!

Thanks. Shinobi responded to my tweet

 

[SalvaPot]

We have a new Star Fox game, for consoles, with traditional gameplay, made in collaboration by BOTH EAD and Platinum Games... God I am so excited for it! I WANT IT NOW.

 

[sono]

[brian!]

[jmizzal]

Horizon beat Zelda, Nintendo really needs to start showing the game to build the hype back

 

[brian!]

oh wait there's no release date for it mah bad

 

[chadskin]

220. Everybody's Golf
...
225. Hot Shots Golf (PS4)

Those two should be merged, by the way.

Hot Shots Golf is the title of the game for NA and Everybody's Golf the one for Europe / Japan.

 

[Ixion]

I voted for Toejam & Earl: Back In The Groove, but I don't see it in the OP.
