Games of 2016 - Console Version

[Jay]

What games are you looking forward to in 2016?

Horizon might very well convince me to get a PS4.

 

[PatrThom]

Well, there's No Man's Sky, of course.

Do we really need to split the topics when most of the AAA PC games will also be on consoles and be wracked with consolitis? If I'm getting a game on console that's also on PC, the division of topics becomes kind of silly since I have no idea where to discuss the game. Jay's already talking about an XBONE game in the PC thread, so might as well just talk about all of them there.

Zelda

Also Fire Emblem if 3DS counts.

I don't own a PS4 or an XBone because what's the point if I have a PC.

Zelda

That should be the working title, because at this point I have zero confidence we'll see the next new Zelda title before we see the NX.

But hey, Twilight Princess HD! Woop-de-shit!

 

[Dei]

There is irony in that, seeing as Twilight Princess had to split generations too.

I'm looking forward to Shin Megami Tensei IV: Final next year, since I loved that game and I'm all for a sort-of sequel, if a game that ignores half the events of the previous game can be called a sequel. More like a "what if"-quel.

Wish I was looking forward to Fire Emblem Fates.

I don't know; Nintendo's not really catching me for 2016 just yet. I'm sure they will, but they're probably putting a lot of attention of the next console, which is speculated to be more powerful than PS4/XBONE. Odd direction for Nintendo, but not unwelcome so long as the first-party games continue to be good. With an actual competitive build, we could see proper third-party support, and by that I mean a Nintendo console getting the same Assassin's Creed ports as everyone else.

Outside Nintendo, but still console exclusive ... No Man's Sky will probably be a day one purchase for me, but I don't know how long its shtick will hold true to being fun.
