2015 was pretty damn good, but 2016......
2015 was an amazing year for games. Some really, really good stuff came out this year, but next year.......it's lining up to be one of the best years in gaming ever.
For me, the following are all definite:
Uncharted 4
Xcom2
Pokken Tournament
ScaleBound
Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem
Fire Emblem Fates
Last Guardian
Horizon Zero Dawn
CupHead
If they come out in 2016:
ZeldaU
Cyberpunk 2077
And maybes:
No Mans Sky
Amplitude
Yooka Laylee
Ratchet and Clank
Ninja Turltles (Platinum)
And that's just the stuff we know about.
What are you guys looking forwards to in 2016?

2015 will be hard to top. I think 2007 was the last time there were so many great games in one year

Re: 2015 was pretty damn good, but 2016......
there is literally nothing on the immediate horizon that's got me particularly interested. Obviously Forza Horizon 3 will be out, and I'll probably get it. If No Man's Sky comes out, I'll get it for PC, but this gen has me thoroughly jaded.
I'm looking forward to the Nextbox being announced

Outside of quantum break and uncharted 4, there is nothing of great interest next year for me.

Aside from a couple of titles I didn't think 2015 was that great for software. But that's just me.

Really?
Bloodborne
Witcher 3
MGS V
Fallout 4
Pillars of Eternity
Galak-Z
Cryptark
Destiny Taken King (add on I know but it made a mediocre game finally worthy)
Homeworld Remastered
Batman Arkham Knight
That's ignoring most of what I didn't play on the Xbone and WiiU. Not a dig but this has been the best year in recent memory for me, at least the best since Red Dead Redemption was released in 2010.

Re: 2015 was pretty damn good, but 2016......
Yeah but that EA star wars game sucks.
It spoiled the entire year for everyone imo.
I noticed all the games that get way overhyped on this forum actually end up being shit.
Aliens Colonial Marines. Star Wars Battlefield. Destiny etc
Halo 5 didn't even get 10s this year. Witcher 3 and Xenoblade CX and Galak-Z basically win this gen. Witcher 3 even had downgrade thanks to consoles being too weak. Xenoblade CX will probably end up getting ported to NX I bet. (maybe you can play it on the bus with uglier visuals?)
For next years games the most anticipated one is No Man's Sky. Can't wait to play it. It's daggerfall with spaceships and no cities. Just shoot helpless animals and fly around naming things. Tomby this better beat star fox. Sony have pimped this one alot. And there are no transforming valkyrie fighters in it so why should I care if Galak-Z is out?
All the guy behind NMS has to do to fix the lack of interest in the game is reskin it as a unofficial robotech crystal dreams game. Without anything to do in the game it will get boring. No mention of alien races or anything. Just showing us the same footage over and over again. It's suffering from the duke nukem forever effect. By the time it comes out people will have forgotten it.

Re: 2015 was pretty damn good, but 2016......
The other game next year I am looking forward to is Dues Ex.
Way better than bloody tomb raider (polished arcade corridor shooter). Don't understand why this never gets hyped. Is it because you guys hate conspiracy theories?
Pretty sure in the future the transhumanists will try to force everyone to become robots.

Google is using this guy to bring us into the age of the reploids. We need megaman X to police the mavericks. The PC nerds are going to be first to form the first Cyber human terrorist organisation which thinks its superior to others because it can play minecraft at the highest resolutions in its brains and attempt to control us all.

Re: 2015 was pretty damn good, but 2016......
Had a pretty decent year personally.
Bloodborne + DLC
Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin
Resident Evil Revelations 2
MGSV
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Next year for me will be:
Uncharted 4
Dark Souls 3
Street Fighter V
Persona 5 (the big one for me)
Star Ocean 5
Nier Automata
Gravity Rush 2
Yeah whilst my 2016 list is bigger, I had a damn good time with the 2015 stuff.

Re: 2015 was pretty damn good, but 2016......
What am I looking forward to in 2016?
NINTENDO NX OF COURSE!!!
We know it's going to be something very zany and innovative (according to Nintendo themselves, the NX is a "dedicated games platform with a brand new concept").
For fuck's sake - this is how wacky the controller is supposed to be according to patents...a controller with an autostereoscopic 3D touchscreen display with holes cut out within the screen to allow for the control sticks & buttons, as well as it's own CPU/GPU/RAM, scrollable wheel shoulder buttons, a speaker, and even a game cartridge slot....
It's pretty much a given at this point it's a hybrid home console & handheld gaming system.
This will be the birth of a brand new Nintendo in which their two gaming divisions merge into one (home console and handheld cross-play hybrid functionality of the NX means no more software droughts ) - and I really think what Nintendo have in store for 2016 is going to knock our socks off!
We are at most 4-5 months away from the formal hardware and software unveiling of the Nintendo NX - and I can't wait!

Are we expecting NX to flop as hard as Wii U?

Candy - do you see yourself purchasing a Nintendo NX next year at launch?
We know for a fact that EAD Tokyo (developers of Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, Super Mario 3D Land, Super Mario 3D World) have been hard at work for many years developing a brand new 3D Mario platformer. Who knows, Super Mario 3D NX may even be a launch title?!?
Can you imagine....a brand new shiny Nintendo home console & handheld hybrid gaming system + a brand new gorgeous & lush 3D Mario platformer as a flagship launch game?!?
Candy, it would be such a shame for you to miss out!

Re: 2015 was pretty damn good, but 2016......
I do think a powerful handheld by Nintendo would be a hit. Shit, I'd probably buy it even after my disappointment in the Wii U.

As I always buy all consoles, I'll buy NX. Just hope it's not the shit fest the wii was and hope it sells far better than wiiu. Just give us a super powerful console for fucks sake.

I find as you get older and your kids do too that games really take a back seat and family is the best fun you can have.

Re: 2015 was pretty damn good, but 2016......
Is crackdown coming out next year?
I'll keep an eye on that and maybe gears 4.
Im planning on playing halo 5 for a long time, the multi is the best I've played and 343 are releasing free content monthly.
I cant see 2016 topping 2015... Not that I thought 2015 was that great.

It will be interesting to see how well VR does. I admit it's pretty exciting and I would like to try it out ( if it doesn't give me motion
sickness)
2015 was a great year gaming wise personally, and I still haven't played or completed many of the big titles, but I will get around to it.
Still pinching myself that we're getting Shenmue 3, even if it's Kickstarter.

Re: 2015 was pretty damn good, but 2016......
Mmmm, VR Rez...
I didn't get much gaming time throughout the year due to uni, and kind of expected to find a cornucopia of cheap 2015 releases now that I'm finished... Arkham Knight is mostly good so far, other than that there's nothing I really want to play. Not to say there were no other good releases, just nothing for me.
My 2016 definites: The Last Guardian, The Witness, and Zelda if it materialises. Uncharted 4 is a pretty sure thing but I don't need to play it the moment it's released, and while I really really hope it's good, Mirrors Edge Catalyst is try-before-I-buy. Dark Souls 3 looks excellent but I really don't know if I can put myself through another one of those games any time soon.
