Someone should double-check to verify as I could have missed a few.
TPS:
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
Sunset Overdrive
Best trailer: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (Director's Cut)
And according to lucky journalists who got to see the 30 mins private demonstration of the MGSV demo, the presentation was brilliant and mind blowing!
Shouldn't Zelda be in Action?
Not sure that Captain Toad is a platformer, considering you can't jump.
Thank you. Just to make sure, I didnt t like Sunset Overdrive from the reveal and the whole marketing campaign/tone of it.Fixed

Xenoblade X should be on these lists.
Yeah Captain Toad is more of a puzzler.
Nice list, here's hoping Zelda wii u, blood borne and no man's sky deliver.
Yes, Zelda in it's rightful place in it's corresponding genre.
I consider Zelda as more of an adventure game with exploration and puzzle elements than strictly an action game. Though I'm sure we could find clever ways to put Zelda at the top of most categories, the point of these additional categories was to give other games that didn't make the existing list a temporary spotlight.

EDIT: Where is Splatoon in TPS?
I don't make threads, ya'll trying to get me killed? haha

Hmm, Toad is more of a puzzle-platformer and Zelda counts as an action-RPG to be more precise.
I know 2 of the 3 will deliver for sure.
I don't think jumping is a strict requirement for platformers. Platformers use platforms as key elements of gameplay or traversal. I think Captain Toad fits both.
I was thinking closer to RPG rather than action tbh.
So I pulled some data...
Nintendo actually killed it this year. In terms of whose tracking best, buzz metrics have them higher than Sony, and well above everyone else. this in terms of consumer sentiment, twitter, Likes, that kind of stuff. Their strategy was a huge homerun in terms of 'shareable content'... I can't speak tho their media impressions from outlets and PR, but they crushed it on twitter and youtube.
Some of their individual game trailers don't stack up super well against the larger AAA, but they got people talking more than most.
Splatoon beat Metal Gear and Sunset

Xenoblade X should be on these lists.
There's no real 'RPG' in Zelda though. No leveling, no XP, no stats and figures, etc. Yes, you gain items and abilities but that happens in many other games too.

I think he just did a top 3 of GAF's list in each category. Xenoblade would have come 4th.
- We don't know if No Man's Sky is a Sony exclusive. A PC version is very possible
- Splatoon should be on the TPS list

Oh okay. I actually wasn't aware that No Man's Sky was a RPG. I wasn't really sure what type of game it was, lol.
It really didn't look at all like an RPG to me. More just an exploration game that doesn't fit neatly into current genres
Adventure was the first word that came to mind, but I feel like it isn't exactly an Adventure game either from what I've seen, since it seems to lack stuff like items and puzzles in favor of just discovering stuffIs it a Zelda like adventure game? I didn't really look in to it.
Nice categories =)
I am a bit surprised Witcher 3 isn't anywhere in OP. I guess it's not as big as I was hoping it'd be. But yeah, Witcher 3 was game of the show for me.

Bloodborne looks more like an Action-RPG.
I don't think No Man's Sky should be either.
That's exactly the impression I got from it as well.
RPG as a video game genre really has very little to do with the roots of the term as referring to tabletop role playing games in this day and ageWhat? You can choose your ship and suit that both directly effect how you approach and progress in the game and how the game reacts to those choices. This game seems to me to be RPG at its core.
Nintendo officially registers Zelda as an Action game on it's website, but I still believe that it falls in the long lost Adventure Game category.
I would argue that Uncharted doesn't deserve to be in the Action Category as it is a Third Person Shooter and technically all shooters are action games.
