Uncharted 4 right where it belongs.

 

[mrmickfran]

The hype surrounding P5 is unlike any Atlus game before.

It's astounding.

 

[Vaughngief]

...
148. Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4
149. One Piece Burning Blood
...

Of all games to be next to each other on the list.

 

[SargerusBR]

I can't help but to feel that 3 or more games of that top 10 will be delayed to 2017

Spoiler

TLG, Horizon and Mass Effect would be my guesses

 

[NavyPharaoh]

Great job as always Shinobi. This year is shaping up to be great, let the delay gods be kind to us

 

[botty]

Y'all really excited for No Man's Sky....

 

[m@cross]

1. Thanks for the effort with the list, and for those who took the time to participate.

2. Not sure why anyone would be disappointed in their game being anyplace in the top 20, there are tons of games, top 20 is pretty damn solid.

3. All the salty shit posting accusing GAF of Sony bias, really need to grow up and take of your system warz armor already. It is the sales leader and has a sizable list of quality looking games. Who knows where they will end up, but bias accusations are childish, they may not be your cup of tea, but are you incapable of appreciating a game that you may not personally have a taste for?

Let me show you how it is done;

I own nothing but Sony consoles and my gaming PC is very old... BUT

Zelda looks fantastic, might get me to buy a NX, Nintendo guys are lucky.
XCOM 2, super jealous of the PC guys
Sorry for Xbox.. I don't really wish any of its exclusives where on PS4, but if you like them, great for you, kick some ass with em.

 

[Funyarinpa]

Thanks a lot for all the effort, OP.

That said, nice to see Zero Time Dilemma in top 20 though I'd hoped it would hit top 10.

I didn't vote for it but I'm pretty damn happy that P5 scored so high.

 

[OneUh8]

Thanks for using a quote of mine . Always interesting to see what everyone is most excited about. A few surprises there.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Rime going down every year lol...

[reKon]

lmao at Gears of War 4 spot. I really hope they can knock it out of the park.

 

[TheFatMan]

That's a nice list! I think we will have ourselves one nice year of gaming ladies and gents!

 

[reKon]

I bet I'll replay Uncharted 4 at least 4 times.

 

[JehutyRunner]

My > Overall:

1 > 10

2 > 1

3 > 2

4 > 3

5 > 14

6 > 21

7 > 9

8 > 41

9 > 74

10 > 22

The amount of excitement for Mass Effect is truly puzzling.

1. We've seen nothing on the game.
2. It's being developed by a completely different team, largely staffed by the Army of Two team.
3. Mass Effect 3 was such a colossal goat fuck that you'd think it would've soured people on the franchise.

I guess it's true, stick a known brand name on something and people will go for it no matter what.

While the first point is a legitimate concern - considering all we have is two teaser trailers and no gameplay - the other two are straight up bull.

2 is BioWare Montreal, not EA Montreal who actually made Army of Two. Very, very different teams.

3 - hahahahanope. Admittedly, there is that black mark against it with the ending, but even then, it's still a fantastic game. One bad part make not game good, even if it admittedly is quite a major part of the game.

 

[entremet]

Y'all really excited for No Man's Sky....

I'm so sick of hearing of that game. Overexposed to death.

 

[joecanada]

PS4 has no many games.

Nah you just gotta rework your wording.

" sony has Gamez but Im not into RPG, TPS, fps, jrpg, indie, sports...."

 

[Sakura]

DOAX3 80 spots too low.

 

[cosmicblizzard]

Damn, Danganronpa narrowly missed the top 25.

 

[Sheriff_Battlesnake]

1) Dark Souls III (#5)
2) Zelda Wii U (#4)
3) Persona 5 (#2)
4) Ni-oh (#24)
5) Project Setsuna (#64)
6) The Last Guardian (#7)
7) Nier: Automata (#12)
8) Dragon Quest XI (#42)
9) Horizon Zero Dawn (#3)
10) Star Ocean: Integrity & Faithlessness (#28)


If I were to redo it now I might juggle Persona up to #1 out of sheer curiosity and style. I have played both 3 and 4 (neither to completion) but it's been so long I'm really curious what they could throw at us. Dark Souls is a bit of a known quantity with some exciting unexpected twists, but Persona is going to be a bit more out of it's comfort zone. And I am really excited to see it pay off.

 

[sora87]

Ooft, PS4 dominating the list. Let's hope they all make 2016.

 

[Champion]

I'm surprised to see GR2 that high. Regardless, its going to be a big year for the PS4.

 

[ULTROS!]

1. Star Ocean 5 #27
2. Final Fantasy XV #8
4. Kingdom Hearts 2.8 HD #69

Wish I could have included NieR Automata in my list.

 

[kurahador]

Thank you very much for all your hard work in compiling these threads, Shinobi, as they're amongst my favorite points of discussion with the community. I'm thrilled that one of my comments actually made the opening post which is something that I honestly thought would never happen given the amount of wonderful remarks from other fellow users!

... my poor poor wallet

 

[pixellated_man]

I'm surprised to see GR2 that high. Regardless, its going to be a big year for the PS4.

Yeah, I am also surprised...in a good way. Gravity rush 2 is looking fantastic. I just hope the high ranking translates into sales.

 

[Bitch Pudding]

Exciting list. PS4 has gamez.

 

[hooijdonk17]

Xcom 2 robbed. Doom too.

 

[ForsakenLotus]

Top 3 games are PS4 exclusive, man I'm excited for this year.

 

[Regiruler]

I'm actually sad for slain. I was going to edit my vote to include it but forgot. Didn't think it would be that low.

 

[DKHF]

My picks that got in the top 10 were close to their final placing but otherwise I was not very close.

1. Uncharted 4 - #1
2. Horizon: Zero Dawn - #3
3. The Legend of Zelda Wii U - #4
4. The Last Guardian - #7
5. Final Fantasy XV - #8
6. Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue - #69
7. Dragon Quest XI - #42
8. Dishonored 2 - #22
9. No Man's Sky - #10
10. Gravity Rush Remastered - #73

If I could change one I would swap Dishonored 2 for Ni-Oh but still it's a solid list. Thanks for putting together the poll and tallying the results Shinobi.

 

[nib95]

It's interesting to see the movers and shakers from last year.

1 (1). Uncharted 4 - no change
2 (6). Persona 5 - up 4
4 (3). The Legend of Zelda - down 1
10 (8). No Man's Sky - down 2
15 (18). Quantum Break - up 3
31 (17). Star Fox Zero - down 14
47 (12). Rime - down 35

 

[sappyday]

#3, #6, and #7 will all be delayed to next year. Those are the ones I'm betting on.


I'm glad that FFXV made it to the top 10.

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

Uncharted 4, Persona 5, Zelda U and No Man's Sky? Is this last years list?
Lol just kidding but I'm surprised to see SFV not make the top 10 and Nier to be that high.

 

[Alo0oy]

Dark Souls 3 was pretty far away from #1, I'm wondering if people just forgot that it's coming out next year? It probably would have been higher if it had a recent trailer in December.

 

[Stratosphere]

1. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End (1)
2. Dark Souls III (5)
3. No Man's Sky (10)
4. Horizon: Zero Dawn (3)
5. Rise of the Tomb Raider (37)
6. Gran Turismo Sport (38)
7. The Last Guardian (7)
8. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (9)
9. Nier: Automata (12)
10. Ni-Oh (24)

I'm surprised Nier: Automata didn't crack the top 10 honestly. And GT at 38?! I'll chalk that up to the lack of info on the game...

Dark Souls 3 was pretty far away from #1, I'm wondering if people just forgot that it's coming out next year? It probably would have been higher if it had a recent trailer in December.

Personally I think it may be franchise fatigue, especially after the backlash from DSII

Damn Rime dropped like a rock. Hopefully we'll see more of it soon.

Yeap, needs a big media and info push before any sort of release. They really failed to capitalise on the initial hype and conference showings.

I don't believe so, Bloodborne will likely be GAF's GOTY or the runner up.

 

[wapplew]

Lol just kidding but I'm surprised to see SFV not make the top 10 and Nier to be that high.

After all character reveal, SFV hype kinda slow down. Capcom might start hype machine in few weeks.

 

[Stratosphere]

I don't believe so, Bloodborne will likely be GAF's GOTY or the runner up.

Bloodborne was a fresh spin on the formula though, and now we're reverting back to the standard sword & board. Some people may be turned off by this.

 

[Putty]

Can't argue with that number 1. DS3 being high is a good sign...I do get a sense that Horizon will get a wee delay pushing it to March 2917 however.

 

[Muzy72]

SonyGAF y'all are disappointing me putting The Last Guardian and Final Fantasy XV so low.

I wonder if Zelda would be higher if we got an actual trailer / confirmation of an NX release.

So which of these games will be in 2017's list eh?
