    I was looking there at what games are cropping up until the end of the year. Thought there would be more that interests me coming out but I'm a bit disappointed.

    Here are a few that are coming on my radar for PS4 and Xbox One.

    Forza Horizon 3 - out already
    Gear of War 4 - out already

    Dishonored 2
    Watch Dogs 2
    Final Fantasy XV
    Dead Rising 4
    The Last Guardian
    Batman Return to Arkham
    100ft Robot Golf

    I'm not too bothered as I have a massive backlog but the line-up doesn't appear as strong as last year for instance.

    What are you looking forward to?

    All I'm looking forward too is the Porsche DLC for Assetto Corsa. I haven't really seen any games that I'm really looking forward too.

    Shadow Warrior 2
    Battlefield One
    Dark Souls 3 DLC
    Titanfall 2
    Final Fantasy XV
    The Last Guardian
    Space Hulk: Deathwing

    Pretty weak to be honest. The only one i get 100% will be the Dark Souls DLC the rest i have a passing interest in

    Final Fantasy looks good although ive never played a final fantasy game before. Nothing else stands out.

    Final Fantasy 15 is coming out? Thought that was never going to happen, longest production time ever

    The Last Guardian disagrees! I'm looking forward to the NES mini and might pick up Paper Mario Color Splash. Battlefield 1 looks decent too!

    None of those on my list are will buys by the way, just on the short list so it depends on reviews. I'll probably just buy one or two.

    I also hope that PS Plus and Games with Gold have a few big games coming up.

    I'll likely pick up most of the major releases but not as enthused as I've been in previous years about the line up , getting old I guess :o

    Dead Rising 4 and Dishonoured 2 top of the list I guess now that south park was kicked into next year.

    Dishonored 2 was on mine, It was so much so that I went and played/completed Dishonored 1 again this week.
    Then I heard some very disheartening things about it...

    Dailogue and story options barely change, if at all when you play as Korvo as opposed to Emily and vice versa.
    NPCs and story characters will interact with both using the exact same dialogue in the same way.

    My son is looking forward to Dishonored 2
    I'm hankering after The Last Guardian
    Dragon Quest VIII on the 3DS looks fantastic too.

    I'm hoping too to pick up Boulder Dash for my Atari 65XE, also the new Zelda 30th anniversary Amiibo figures as well.

    Not really surprising though given the cost and time required to build separate campaigns. Personally I'll be happy if both characters offer a truly different way to play the game, mechanically speaking. If they achieve that then combined with the Low/High Chaos playthroughs, there should be plenty to keep folk interested.

    I'm finally getting through the DLC for the original game at the moment so yea, the sequel is top of my list at the moment. Also just "cleared" Titanfall in anticipation for the campaign in the sequel so add that to the list. Working though the campaign in BF4 at lunch time so hopefully I can get that and Hardline out of the way before BF1 hits. Hearing some pretty good things about the campaign in that one.

    Between the PS4 Pro announcement and the release of The Last Guardian, now may finally be the time to jump onto the current generation of consoles but if not, I still have plenty of games in the backlog to keep me busy over the holidays.

    I'm just playing through the first Dark Souls for the first time at the moment. Amazing game would be an under-statement. All else will seem pedestrian and boring by comparison. Might be a while before I get to 3.

    Pity about the South Park delay but hopefully it will result in a better game, loved The Stick Of Truth.

    Pity SP didn't make Xmas....

    You never finished TLOU?

    :O

    I can't talk really, as I got stuck early on in PS3 version and never went back as I knew the PS4 version was coming... :P

    Finished it on PS4 and loved it...

    I'm actually thinking of replaying it over the Xmas, if I ever get my copy I loaned my friend eons ago back... :/

    This year I'm looking forward to the Last Guardian, Battlefield and the NES.... :)

    Might grab Gears on PC if it gets a bit cheaper... :)
