inevitably some stuff will be delayed but 2015 is just looking to be a killer year. from what I've seen it should be a year that really sells people on next gen. not as much focus on ports/remasters. some great next gen entries in popular series as well as new fresh IPs. I think it will be a defining year for the ps4 era, like 2001 was for ps2 and 2007 was for xbox360.

I Eat Thumbtacks · Sep 17, 2014

People think that every year...

Steverulez · Sep 17, 2014

The Witcher 3, MGSV TPP (hopefully?), Halo 5 Guardians and Quantum Break - games I'm specifically looking forward to

Plus the ton of other stuff says yes, hopefully!

Bytes · Sep 17, 2014

2007 was an awesome year for multiple platforms, not just Xbox.

arekuso · Sep 17, 2014

That's exactly what I was thinking earlier today.

If everything go as planned, we'll see a loooot of new games from awesome IPs such as Zelda, The Witcher, FF, Uncharted, Halo, MGS, Persona, Tomb Raider... + exciting new IPS + exciting indie games for every console (but the vita).

I seriously can't wait.

jacobeid · Sep 17, 2014

2015 does have the potential to be an amazing year.

Ask me in 2016.

Brofield · Sep 17, 2014

I sure hope to God so, if only for Nintendo's sake.

Zelda, Splatoon and StarFox, plus those rumours of a remaster a month. F-Zero GX HD would make any year a good year.

Plus I can't wait for Bloodborne. That I'm still hyped for.

Flarin · Sep 17, 2014

Bloodborne
Witcher 3
The Order: 1886
Mortal Kombat X
Arkham Knight
Persona 5
Uncharted 4
Halo 5
Zelda Wii U

Final Fantasy XV?

YUP.

McDougles · Sep 17, 2014

Reviewing the future in a historical comparison with the past is a weird thing to do.

Peanut Butter · Sep 17, 2014

2015 is looking great and Black Ops 3 hasn't even been announced yet. #Zombies

Damerman · Sep 17, 2014

2015 is gonna hard to manage.

Various Artists · Sep 17, 2014

Since everything got delayed out of 2014 probably.

PranooY · Sep 17, 2014

Seemly very likely.

Bloodborne, Persona 5, Uncharted 4, Witcher 3, Arkham Knight. Ok, it is.

Norns · Sep 17, 2014

Every year is the best year in gaming. I can always go back and play everything that's been released to that point.

SatelliteOfLove · Sep 17, 2014

Nothing touches 1998. NOTHING.

StoopKid · Sep 17, 2014

Persona 5
Uncharted 4
Halo 5

Lawd!

Magic Mushroom · Sep 17, 2014

It has the potential to be utterly amazing.

Bloodborne
Phantom Pain
Uncharted: A Thief's End
Zelda U
Starfox
Halo Guardians
Xenoblade
Rime
Below
The Witness
The Witcher 3
Captain Toad (I'm European)
Axiom Verge
Cuphead
Arkham Knight
The Tomorrow Children
Persona 5

And tons more. Damn.

JCX · Sep 17, 2014

OP forgot 2004.

If Xenoblade, FFXV, and (genre debatable) Bloodborne, and DQ Heroes launch globally, it could be a revival of tentpole RPGs. Tales/Persona/Pokemon have picked up the torch, but I still feel like we haven't had the big HD JRPG masterpiece yet, and the aforementioned could do it.

Percy · Sep 17, 2014

Witcher 3, Bloodborne, Uncharted 4, Xenoblade, Zelda (lol?) and Persona 5?

It sure as shit has a good shot at being one of the best.

I see you said "rumour" but is that a typo about a remaster a month, as in every month?

WhiskerFrisker · Sep 17, 2014

It has a lot of potential to be, yes. I honestly think that if nothing is delayed, it will be a great year.

Courage · Sep 17, 2014

Witcher 3, Arkham Knight and Persona 5 alone say yes.

impact · Sep 17, 2014

If Bloodborne, Silent Hills, Zelda U, Uncharted 4, Star Fox U, FF Type-0, X and The Division all deliver then it's no contest. Best gaming year of all time.

PseudoViper · Sep 17, 2014

2015 has the potential to possibly bankrupt people

maxcriden · Sep 17, 2014

If Zelda comes out...man, even if it, we've got Mario Maker. Mario vs. DK. Kirby's Canvas Curse Sequel. Yoshi's Woolly World. Splatoon. Probably even more stuff we don't know about. So I'd say so, yes.

TheSpaceBetween · Sep 17, 2014

Now how can we even guess? We have seen very little of many of these games and played even less. And as you said, many of the 2015 games will inevitably be pushed to 2016. Any year has the potential to be one of the greatest years in gaming... It just all depends on how the games turn out. That being said, on paper, the release list does look damn good, and I would be shocked if it isn't the best current gen year thus far on all systems.

Acquiescence · Sep 17, 2014

2015 is looking especially enticing right now.

until the delays start rolling in that is

Very much so.

One things for sure, 2015 will be a much better year for gaming than 2014, the next gen machines will finally start hitting their strides.

PsihoPerihelion · Sep 17, 2014

It will be. I know cuz its already written in blood

Not really. If a year is gonna be shitty it often gets really obvious really soon (like it did this year, for example), or at least way before the year ends.

2015 seems pretty amazing so far, and delays are unlikely since so many games already got delayed from this year. If you think about all the games that haven't even been announced yet, plus stuff like Oculus finally releasing CV1, it's going to be an extremely interesting year for games.

Damerman · Sep 17, 2014

You have MGSV, Witcher 3....i mean, you could stop right there and it would be better than the last 3 years. but then it goes on to P5, Xenoblad X, The Order, Arkahm Knight, Star Citizen, No Man's Sky, Evolve. Just a bunch of games that could be influential for years to come.

Pachimari · Sep 17, 2014

I'm thinking which games I'll get in 2015. It might be a huge year.

Final Fantasy Type-0 HD
Final Fantasy XV (possibly)
Persona 5
Tales of Zestiria
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
Resident Evil REmake
Mortal Kombat X
Dead or Alive 5: Last Round
Tekken 7
The Legend of Zelda
Splatoon
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
Fifa 16 / Pro Evolution Soccer 2016
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Kingdom Come
Star Citizen
No Man's Sky
Rime
Below
The Witness

Bolded are the ones I'm surely gonna get.

And I'm on a small budget next year!

BUT I don't think it'll rival those years. At least not 2001 and 1998.

This + Evolve, Quantum Break, No Man's Sky... Unless half of these get delayed it should be glorious.

Knox · Sep 17, 2014

This happens every year. Things get pushed into next year, everyone thinks that year is stacked, the things that were pushed back come out but at least half of everything else gets pushed, and the cycle begins a new.

flatearthpandas · Sep 17, 2014

2015 does seem pretty ballin' for Wii U and PS4.

3DS, Vita, and Xbone have literally nothing for me though (to differentiate between Wii U/PS4 at least). Hard to call it the best gaming year ever when there is jackshit on three consoles. Let's go, TGS.

Ray Wonder · Sep 17, 2014

I'm probably going to spend 3-4 grand next year on gaming... I'm sorry wallet, I'm so sorry.

Canis lupus · Sep 17, 2014

Yes, it's gonna be in the Top 3 gaming years for sure:

The Order
Bloodborne
Persona 5
Uncharted 4
Zelda U
Xenoblade
MGS V
Witcher 3
Arkham Knight
Halo 5
Mortal Kombat X
Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth
(not even talking about smaller stuff like The Tomorrow Children, SOMA, Rime, WiLD, Tearaway Unfolded, No Man's Sky etc)

Like majority of all gaming's big franchises have a sequel. 2016 could be even crazier with FF XV, Mass Effect 4, Star Wars, Fallout 4, Gears 4, Prey 2 and Doom 4

BeforeU · Sep 17, 2014

I agree 2015 is going to be awesome year.

Halo 5 and Uncharted 4 are my top two.

Flandy · Sep 17, 2014

I refuse to believe Zelda U will release next year. 2015 is looking pretty amazing though.

RespectThySole · Sep 17, 2014

Halo 5
Quantum Break
The Witcher 3
Arkham Knight
Bloodborne
Persona 5
Rainbow Six: Siege
Metal Gear Solid V
No Man's Sky
Zelda U
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Mortal Kombat X
Tekken 7
Below
Cuphead
Rime
The Tommorow Children

2015 is looking great.

orava · Sep 17, 2014

Some potentially great games but i say no.

HK-47 · Sep 17, 2014

Every year is like that until the delays start rolling in.

SgtCobra · Sep 17, 2014

No 2004? C'mon now OP.

And yes, 2015 will devour people's wallets.

Inuhanyou · Sep 17, 2014

2015, if the games come like they are supposed to, is gonna be one of the greatest gaming years EVER.

I have a PS4 and a Wii U , and a PS3, and i'm not going to be able to move with the amount of games coming out throughout the year.

Dead or alive 5 last round

Bloodborne

Type 0 HD

Tales of Zestiria

Uncharted 4

Zelda Wii U

Persona 5

Arkham Knight

The Witcher 3

Tekken 7

Mortal Kombat X

Xenoblade Chronicles X

Rime

No Man's Sky

Resident Evil REmake

Vulcano's assistant · Sep 17, 2014

It will be this gen's second year, very much like 2007. So I see the potential.

JudgmentJay · Sep 17, 2014

It's going to be a pretty damn good year that's for sure. Especially February. Bloodborne and Witcher 3 in one month... I won't know what to do with myself.

(Assuming Bloodborne will be a simultaneous worldwide release)

Saty · Sep 17, 2014

Didn't Destiny teach you a lesson? Wait for 2015 to end before you gauge it with others.

DizzyCrow · Sep 17, 2014

Splatoon
Zelda U
Xenoblade X
Arkhan Knight
Quantum Break
Fable Legends
Scalebound?
Cuphead
Devil's Third
The Witcher 3
Final Fantasy Explorers
The Great Ace Attorney
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

Yep seems good enough.
