NeoGAF's Top 10 Most Anticipated Games of 2015
- Thread starter shinobi602
- Start date
Dude, I was there in the audience.
Kind of confused by this post. Why wouldn't Uncharted 4, Bloodborne, and Persona 5 be on the most anticipated game list?
Uncharted 2/TLOU responses were loud everywhere. Demon Souls/Dark Souls 1 were the same way on a smaller scale. Persona series been great and had a active fan base. It got much bigger between Persona 3-P4G. Persona 5 is on almost all of the most anticipated games of 2015 lists from the big gaming sites.
The Order is the only other Sony exclusive in the top 10 and that's the only questionable game out of those 4 games to me.

I imagine there isn't much of an overlap for people that like that and for example visual novels.
Not the biggest fan of visual novels, but that Uncharted 4 was all gameplay and ver dynamic gameplay at that.
bad previews and mostly negative hands on impressions all year long. Developers touting hollywood influence and claiming gameplay is something they "have to do", qte everyhere and really linear almost tunnel like level design. It will take a miracle for the game to live up to the hype.
I saw it. Looked AMAZING. Still Uncharted.
Man you're apparently really annoyed at what people voted. Next time you need to rally your fellow avatars and get on it for your own sake.

NeoGAF sent us to Hell, but we're going even deeper -- take back everything that we've lost!
Are you denying that Uncharted 4 doesn't look like an Uncharted game?
No. I imagine the reason it scores so highly is because it's an Uncharted game by Naughty Dog.
Edit: To clarify: It is about all your posts, like the ones questioning the counting and results because the game you're apparently mega hyped for didn't get #1 in a community voting process where everyone has an equal voice.
It doesn't necessarily look like a bad game but it's nothing really noteworthy or interesting either. Definitely not something I would get excited for or expect in a top 10 list
Those Sony fanboys..

Looks like a great list.
Can't believe Batman is on it though. People really do love that character, don't they?

What does that mean? Because MGS looks like MGS. Uncharted 1 to Uncharted 2 was a huge improvement. U3 to U4 also looks like an awesome improvement, stealth added, verticality of gameplay looked amazing, the AI looked like a huge improvement, traversal/exploring additions like rope and the item to climb up, going on slides while shooting, different ways to take instead of it being super linear. Only sequel that didn't evolve as much was Uncharted 3 from the previous game.
So again, what the fuck does Uncharted looking like Uncharted mean?

I'd say my most anticipated games would be Metal Gear Solid V and Bloodborne. Although No Man's Sky looks cool, I can't get rid of the feeling that that thing is just too good to be true.

I know it can be hard to read through sarcasm on the Internet, but Sn4ke_911 was merely having a giggle.
Or was he?!
YOU FEEL IT TOO, DON'T YOU?
I feel you can apply this thinking/argumentation to almost every huge game franchise out there.
New witcher/halo/zelda game looks amazing, but its still kinda the same formula as before.
So wrong. MGSV looks nothing like the old MGS games.

I enjoy uncharted, not a huge fan of the series, but uncharted 4 looks like a huge step up in terms of gameplay, environments are much larger and not as anywhere as linear as the past uncharted games, gameplay looks way more dynamic then ever before, stealth looks great, and so does the ai, use of grappling looks very fun and should add a new dimension to the gameplay, it looks like a Mario nes to Mario 3 jump to me in terms of gameplay.

Still GOTY? Well alright then.

I would say that's not true at all, as the new MGS has a lot of aspects to it that aren't like the others, such as improved gameplay, the (seeming) lack of Hayter, and the (seemingly) darker attitude.
Still more anticipated and better than the MGS series for me.

How does it not look like older games? Shouldn't games from the same franchise unless it's FF look somewhat like previous iterations?
I like the MGS series a little bit more, but U2 and U3 > MGS4.
It means ND's formula hasn't changed. Same old same old with better graphics. Get it now? MGS1 is nothing like MGS2. MGS3 was on a different level that spawned games like Portable Ops, Peace Walker, Ground Zeroes and now The Phantom Pain. MGS4 made Rising possible.
Love Metal Gear but it simply doesn't deserve to be ranked higher than Uncharted because its coming off of the shady business tactic that was Ground Zeroes. It split fans and is a disgusting practice. ND coming off of TLOU and Left Behind so clearly there is more momentum going for them than Metal Gear.
Nothing of that stuff is in any of the other Metal Gear games.
*open world for the first time ever in the series
* brand new engine
* day & night cycle
* dynamic weather
* base building & multiplayer base infiltration
* seamless transition from cutscene to gameplay
* enemies change shifts during night & day (go to sleep, have a break etc.)
* The Fox Engine remembers when you replay a mission and you for example made too many headshots (enemies will wear helmets now)
* Buddy system
You want me to go on?

Ahh so getting a new voice actor apparently counts as a totally different game. We don't even know if Kojima is trolling us and he shows up halfway through the game, since we know that can't happen. :|
I just listed several reasons why the new game seems like a different game than its predecessor. At this point, if you ask for more than you should be asking for a different IP. There's loads of changes based on the demo that we saw, all for me were positive changes as well. Whether the game plays exactly like that is another story, but I hope the Indiana Jones rope does, esp online..

That's funny. You're going all the way back to 1999 and then saying ND formula hasn't changed. They went from Crash to Jak to Uncharted and then TLOU. UC4 is a culmination of everything they have done in the past and looks splendid and will undoubtedly have a story that isn't all over the place like Metal Gear.

I don't know if it has anything to do with you being PC-player, I'm console / handhelds only and on the top 20, there are only few games I'd even like to play:
Zelda
maybe Xenoblade
Batman
maybe Splatoon
Zelda MM (and that's just a remake..)
Star Fox
So 6 games maximum that I'd want to play, one of those is just a remake, two are a maybe, so I think a lot of tastes around here are niche, independent of platforms

Do you honestly believe that Kojima wanted the Ground Zeroes situation to happen? He probably was going to released both of them in a single package, but Konami needed to get some money back since Kojima had been working on TPP and FOX Engine for years.
Still don't see how that matter tho, Ground Zeroes is easily a 5 to 8 hour game doing a casual run though all the missions, not even touching S Ranks, Hard mode, the Extra Ops, or getting all tapes.

Yup! Confirmed during the gamescom 2014 gameplay presentation.

Sorry to ask, but what does UC4 have to do with Crash Bandicoot, other than the developer?

While Bloodborne, The Order 1886 and No Man's Sky all make my list of anticipated games of 2015 I can now clearly see how much my own taste in games differ from gamers in general. I didn't vote in the voting thread so I have only myself to blame for not being a part of the statistics.
Life is Strange, Broken Age - Act 2, Grim Fandango, Everyone's Gone to the Rapture, Dreamfall Chapters, Below and Apotheon all make my top 10. I'm also really looking forward to playing a ton of titles I missed from 2014. Some good games in store for 2015 at least.

The only common thing in all the Metal Gear games is the fact they're "A HIDEO KOJIMA GAME" and you can easily tell when you play them. Otherwise, they're nothing alike. What you've listed is one proof that they're all different. Snake Eater is another good example of how the series took a turn for the better of course!
You're kidding right? I was strictly talking about the Uncharted series.
