What are you guys looking forward to?

The Witness looks pretty interesting to me as well as the Batman Telltale game and Torment: Tides of Numenera. Also, Below looks cool, never heard of that before.

We are Chicago looks different and kind of interesting too, good concept.

Squadron 42

Horizon and PvZ2 honestly. My boy and I love PvZ and play it all the time. Looks kiddie, but is extremely fun. Lots of humor, new one looks great. Lots of game references, like ME.

XCOM2 and Farcry Primal are the two major ones for me. Also Mass Effect Andromeda but with a tentative release of 12/16 that could easily get pushed to 2017.

 

[Stuka87]

Mass Effect is a must for me.

Kingdom Come actually sounds cool, with it being based in fact.

Far Cry Primal looks fun, but... Ubisoft...

New Mirror's Edge looks awesome.

Obduction looks cool too.

And of course... Zelda. This will be the game that makes me buy a Wii U (Or maybe NX?).

Lara Croft
Lego Avengers - daughter and I will play together.
Orcs Must Die Unchained

Forgot one. Potentially the 'mobile' version of FFXI may be coming out in 2016. I have a hard time seeing that really panning out but I'm still endlessly curious to see how it turns out.

 

[sweenish]

The most hype I have so far this year is for console games. Horizon: Zero Dawn, Uncharted 4 (might get the PS4 at Black Friday or something), Zelda Wii U, FFXV. Hoping FF gets a PC port.

At least Tomb Raider bombed hard enough on Xbox One to get its PC release done quicker.

I may bite on Grim Dawn after it leaves Early Access, goes on sale, and I get around to beating Titan Quest.

I'll eventually buy the Mirror's Edge prequel. Probably not at launch, though. I hope it lives up to legacy and hype.

After The Walking Dead Season 2 doesn't work with a One gamepad (Telltale's fault), I'm a little less excited for their future stuff. Not a lot, but less.

Although, if Cyberpunk 2077 rumors pan out and it gets a late year release, I'll maybe probably buy it at launch.

 

[JTsyo]

XCOM2, but I won't get it until it's packaged with the expansion whenever that is.

Mass Effect is also a must. Deus Ex might be a later buy.

 

[Markbnj]

Kingdom Come actually sounds cool, with it being based in fact.

Yeah that's the only one on the list that really piqued my interest, and also Dishonored II I guess.

 

[Genx87]

Games on that list is The Division. Waiting on that to get a PS4. Otherwise games I am waiting for that didnt make that list.

Hearts of Iron 4
Camelot Unchained
Stellaris

 

[JumBie]

Far Cry Primal looks fun, but... Ubisoft...

Really? A reskin of FarCry 4 which is also a reskin of FarCry 3? They are milking this bullshit and doing the same crap they are doing with Assassins Creed. Releasing the same shit in different clothes.

 

[DealODay]

Next Car Game is coming out with a crashin sequel that I'm looking forward to

 

[Elcs]

X-COM 2 is a fence sitter for me. If it's like X-COM EU then they can keep it. If it's more like UFO: Enemy Unknown then rock on!

Maybe Battlefleet Gothic Armada...

I may bite on Grim Dawn after it leaves Early Access, goes on sale, and I get around to beating Titan Quest.

Have you been following the Grim Dawn AT thread? It's content complete now and is more than worthy of full price.

 

[runzwithsizorz]

Deus Ex HR
Dishonored 2
Mass Effect Andromeda? Not sure what is meant by "western theme"? I love this series, and hope they don't mess it up. Guess I'll just wait and see.

Orcs Must Die: Unchained looks fantastic.
No man sky might be cool, depending on if it actually does not get boring.

Those are really only two that look good to me.
