Games to keep an eye on in 2015

[stroopwafel]

Bloodborne is at the absolute top of the list. I'm sooooo hyped for that game.*drool* I don't think I have ever been more excited. I got both the Euro and the Japanese collectors edition pre-ordered. I have absolute blind faith in mr Miyazaki. He is still early in his career but I already consider him one of the best game-designers of all time. If not the best. Props to Sony and Fromsoft for giving this genius a chance.

Other than that I'm really looking forward to Arkham Knight. The previous Arkham games by Rocksteady were awesome and what I've seen of the new game so far doesn't disappoint.

The only game that I am excited for is Arkham Knight because, well, Batman and Rocksteady.

Otherwise, probably Battlefront 3, but I am more cautious about that game than I am optimistic. This game has been in development hell since the second game came out, and there have been multiple iterations since then, each by a different developer, and none of which have seen the light of day outside of a YouTube video, and now we have a third game coming out that is published published by EA, and developed by the remnants of the team that made Medal of Honor 2010 and Warfighter, and under the name of the company that released Battlefield 4 as it was. Colour me skeptical, but at least it is Star Wars, so that is good, right? Lets just hope that it doesn't go the way of Duke Nukem: Forever and Aliens: Colonial Marines.

FF XV, if it comes out this year. I've been following this game since the first screenshots, and just...I wannit. Also Bloodborne ofc.

 

[TheArcaneThinker]

Shadowrun: Hong Kong.

Loved the original and dragonfall .

 

[Silvanus]

Arkham Knight, Silent Hills, and Majora's Mask 3D. Also, Heart of Thorns, the GW2 expansion.

... maybe we'll get some Doom 4 news this year, too. 2015 is looking great.

No Man's Sky might be enough of a push for me to purchase a PS4 this year. I'm also super excited for Final Fantasy XV, Kingdom Hearts III (thought I seriously doubt that will come out in 2015; more like 2016 at the earliest) and Persona 5, even though I keep forgetting that's going to be a thing. Atlus sure is hush-hush, but I kinda like that. Everything will stay fresh that way. I'm also really looking forward to playing Asagao Academy. That's my short-list. It doesn't look like a lot, but I've got a lot of older games to catch up on, so I'm not on the edge of my seat for many new releases.

Maybe Telltale will make The Walking Dead: Season 3? I would like that very much.

 

[gigastar]

Arkham Knight, Phantom Pain, No Mans Sky, Trails in the Sky SC (at long last) and Dragons Dogma Online assuming its actually releasing this year.

I think theres something else im forgetting about.

The Banner Saga 2
The first feels like it was a sleeper hit. The game doesn't really do anything stellar but it offered a good experience that has really stuck with me over time. I look forward to seeing what they do with the game.

Hatred
Easily the most entertainment I've had following a game I'd otherwise have no interest in. To me the game does nothing special when compared to the comparatively offensive games I've seen on Jim Sterling's youtube channel. It just managed to get the attention of the greater public and I find the senseless drama entertaining. I'm so not buying this game by the way...it's just well worth keeping an eye on.

The Walking Dead Season 3
Season 2 was a big let down compared to the first season but it was in no way bad. It simply failed to live up to the emotional impact and lasting impression. I suspect the 3rd season will follow this trend but I really can't say for sure. For better or fort worse I can't wait to get back into this world.

 

[DarkhoIlow]

Witcher 3 for me..there isn't any other game that I want to play more than this one. Being hyped is an understatement..I will explore every nook and cranny of this game and will enjoy every second doing so.

 

[Timeless Lavender]

Bloodborne is the only game I am interesting in at the moment. Even though I am not a Souls fan, that gothic, Victorian, steam-punk vibes is all it take to gain my attention and the gameplay so far is intriguing. Hope it turn out to be good.

Hotline Miami 2 - First was unbelievably good fun, found it's twitch mechanics and instant death-retry gameplay very addictive. I actually love the way this game portrayed the violence as well, I'm not ashamed to admit it. Heck, I even printed out the poster that came with the the first one on GOG.com and block mounted it in my man cave. Let's just hope the story goes somewhere this time, I liked the social commentary but it seemed an easy way out.

The Witcher 3 - Love this series, this is the game I actually build my PC's for performance-wise. Keeping an eye on the system specs for this one, and like to see what they do with the open world thing. I'm still not 100% on pre-order, to be honest I'm quite anxious as the open world could make or break it. I read the novels too, and this seems to be keeping with the lore, which makes it doubly interesting.

Arkham Knight - Loved all of the Arkham series, trailers have got me hyped for the new shit but still not sure about the [lack of focus on] combat, which was the highlight of all previous games for me (and friends too, doing endless back-to-back 100 on 1 rounds).

Resident Evil Revelations 2 - This is what an R.E. reboot should be like, much closer to what made the series enjoyable for me, and not just another remake of a remake. I'd love a remake of RE4 with proper controls, but that's been attempted twice already so I'll leave that one be. The Evil Within was fun but also felt like a best-hits album.

Bloodborne - I think everyone else has hammered this one in for a good reason!

 

[Sniper Team 4]

Bloodborne comes out next month. Yay! Assuming it doesn't get delayed again, anyway.

Also, I happened to like Dark Souls II. A lot. So I'm excited for The Scholar of the First Sin PS4 version that's coming out in April. Time to do it all again.

And Arkham Knight because everyone else is doing it and I just want to be popular.

Those are the three big ones that I'm looking forward to. There are others out there that I'm keeping an eye on, but these three I will get right away.

Why isnt anyone interested by the gameplay and just focusus on how offensive the game can be?

For a top down shooter it looks really good with a lot of enviormental destruction. The combat against armed NPCs may be fun.

Pretty much everything Nintendo's doing this year fits, but for me Splatoon and the new LoZ.

 

[aozgolo]

Pillars of Eternity - The Spiritual Successor to the Infinity Engine games like Baldur's Gate is looking AMAZING! I backed the project last year around this time and it's looking very close to an official release! I can't wait!

Stardew Valley - A Farming Simulator RPG in the vein of Harvest Moon for PC with Co-op! No definite release date but the creator is fairly confident it'll be this year.

Witcher 3 - It's hard for any open world RPG fanatic to not be excited about this!

 

[SonOfVoorhees]

Darkest Dungeon is the game i really want and its out soon. Thats it really.

 

[the_dramatica]

Darkest Dungeon looks very interesting judging by the gameplay that Jim Sterling put on his channel. I heard he wants to steam some more of it today or some time. Certainly a game I'll keep an eye on.

 

[Roofstone]

Definitely mount&Blade: Bannerlord. As well as The Witcher 3. Oh and DW8: Empires. I'mma getting my medieval fix on this year. And it is gonna be gooood.

Mount&Blade 2: Bannerlord is by far the most important game coming out this year.

I'd treat this game more like an urban legend at this point. It had so many release dates already I stopped counting. Plus, it literally has no info released about it, save for that one art with a knight.

As for my games to look out for this year, definitely RE: Revelations 2. That's it for now. We'll see what this year brings later.

It does have a blog from the developer, and in engine visuals and demonstrations.

Easy peasy. Asagao Academy.

Soon, very soon, Jontron will be my waifu.
