Because it might suck? Just like every other game on that list and all the games people have mentioned here.

Something tells me battleborn will be this years evolve. Also gotta agree with the guy above me, though I am excited for horizon, shadowfall was garbage.

Shadow fall was bad, but 3 and Mercenary were great?
Shadowfall still had a very competent multiplayer though, and Killzone 3 was pretty solid. I put Shadowfall's misfortunes mostly down to it being a rushed launch title. Amusingly enough, KZ3 is actually higher rated on meta than Remedy's last few releases.
Whilst Horizon could suck, I'd argue the gameplay that's been shown from it thus far looks far more compelling than the other games in GT's list.
Shadowfall was far from garbage. The story was disappointing, and some people didn't like their approach to the more open levels in the game. Beyond that it played well, and is still one of the best looking games to date. And now they finally get to move away from Killzone to work on their dream project. Disappointing is the last thing I expect to be from a new Guerrilla title.

But mercenaries was the best handheld shooter ever
Mercenaries was not made by GG. It's a Guerilla Cambridge developed title. They are making RIGS now.
I don't know why people are bringing up TLG because of its history. The games development issues were not because of design issues (levels, puzzles, scenarios, ect) its because they could not get the game to run on ps3 with a reasonable framerate. So they had to wait for ps4 hardware and then port the game. That explains why the game was MIA for so long. The game could still suck though but not because of its history.

I saw the thread title and thought "Battleborn should be number one."
Guess I'm not alone in that regard. What a mess of a game.

You either haven't read many discussions on the game or are being openly disingenuous. Because visuals may be a component, but it is not the sole complaint people raise. Hell, the complaint about the visuals isn't even usually what you're framing it to be (i.e. "ultra-realistic").

Garbage is overused on this forum for not liking it. I would say their games suffer from being bland But they are far from broken or incompetent. When I think garbage I think AC Unity, and THPS 5 most recently. That's garbage tier. A game being mechanically solid but not to your liking doesn't make a game garbage.
I guess you haven't play Ueda's games.

2K might go 0/2 when it comes to MP focused new IPs. First Evolve now potentially Battleborn.

I'll have two of what Gametrailers is smoking. Remedy doesn't make bad games. They make excellent games.

No Man's Sky won't suck, but I can imagine a lot of disappointment due to unrealistic expectations.

"That Might Suck" is a bit of a harsh/attention title. The script is more concerned about being concerned about one aspect or another, or games not living up to the hype. If these concerns come true, that doesn't necessarily make those games suck.
I can understand the concerns regarding Ghost Recon and Mafia III. I'm having those myself.
Disagree with their reasons for Hitman being on there.
Trailers, demonstrations, leaked footage and impressions have demonstrated quite well that IO is doing more than just talking about how it's building on the strengths of Blood Money. There being a multitude of ways of performing a hit, and replaying missions to do recon, mess about and see how things unfold, was part of its appeal. Was anything but tedious. And levels in Hitman will have more than a mission. IO has talked about replayability in terms of how the initial level is large and has a lot of things going on, alternative targets, user generated contracts, bunch of stuff to explore, figure out and try to execute. And from what I've heard, 47's abilities have been expanded. I was glad to hear that for instance, in one build you could buy a soda can, and knock people out by throwing it in the backs of their faces. Experimenting with dumb stuff like that sounds like fun.
If I'd be concerned about anything at this stage, it'd be that while they're supposed to be expansive, there will only be six locations. Granted, while Blood Money and friends had 10+ or some such, not all of them were winners. I only really liked the "normal" ones.
The episodic release schedule is kind of whatever. The story is the only thing I can see the episodic structure affect negatively. Not something I've particularly valued about these games. The Hitmans I've enjoyed have had a loose framework of an overarching story, and IO can and likely will do the same here. I appreciate that they're instead focusing on storytelling within the levels.

Brandon Jones already told us that Starfox sucks. I'm still gonna Day1 it, of course, though.
Ghost Recon still gives me a big ol' ehhhhhhhhh........ Other than Advanced Warfighter (which I only played because it was a new game for my shiny new 360), Ghost Recon games and Rainbow Six games look so... not what I want.
It's been more than a dozen years since I played Ghost Recon (proper) or Rainbox Six Rogue Spear (that game was soo fun online with friends!) so maybe it's just nostalgia (it likely is), but these new games strike me as a different flavored modern third-person shooters.
It's a game where you fight Dinosaurs using Gorilla warfare.

Killzone Shadowfall.
Definitely agree. Was going to pretty much say the same thing.
Developer of one of the highest rated FPS shooters last gen?

I didn't even know there was a new ghost recon. Last one was shit and died quick. Couldn't do horde mode with randoms. So stupid, I ended up selling the game in like 5 days. Have never done that before.

Very doubtful QB will suck considering the developer. At the absolute worst I see a 6.5 and even that seems like a huge stretch. I suspect it will be a 7.5-8.5 game, likely low 8s overall.

People are expecting to be amazong and they have done that once out four attempts. Definitely cautiously optimistic about it. That and TLG could be on the list, but moreso games that hit 7/10 rather than 9/10 like QB for example. Doubtful eother of the three will fully suck
The developer has only made mediocre games so far, is my guess
Killzone 3 isn't bad. I mean, it's garbage when you compared it to Killzone 2, but it's an enjoyable game when you look at it independently.

I'm legitimately worried that Star Fox Zero is going to be bad, and that the delays are just damage control to try and fix whatever they can to lessen the blow.

I agree with the list, but I'd personally remove Battleborn given its relative lack of hype, shift up Star Fox higher and include The Last Guardian.
Best wishes.

Why is the company that makes Borderlands still wasting money making things other than Borderlands? It never works out well for them.

I think that list pretty much nails it, but don't most games have the potential to "suck".
Also, Star Citizen? didn't know it was supposed to be out in 2016.

Games with an endless development time tend to suck.

Quantum Break game will be great. Quantum Break show may suck.
To be fair. As incredible as his games are, he's only made two. He's not invincible.
Is made by Guerrilla, lol. Chances of it being mediocre are 80%.

Never heard of Battleborn before now. I definitely do not agree with Mighty No 9. Loved everything I've seen so far from it.
bollocks on star citizen, no way it is coming out in 2016
