2016 May Be This Console Generation’s Best Year

PlayStationing writes: "Every console generation has it’s best year, and from what has been announced so far, it looks like 2016 may be the best year for this console generation. There is no smoke without fire, and there appears to be a lot of smoke. So why do we think that 2016 might be so good?"

All I need is 5 good games within a year outside of the new cod and I'm a happy PSgamer. I don't ask for much because I'm very picky about what I like to play, and that's never changing.

Last year was enough because I was still playing on ps3 even when I was still buying some ps4 games, this year already is looking nice with the order, life is strange, broken age and teslagrad with soon to buy: mgs5, assassin's creed syndicate, mad max, until dawn and battlefront. Also I'm waiting for release dates on a couple indie games that actually look good, one is called submerged.

Next year will be f'n crazy!

- good morning dislikes lol

frenchtoast4031d ago

apart from MGS5 not really excited for much in the latter half of the year.

''2016 May Be This Console Generation’s Best Year''

The same was said about 2015, but then again, Im having fun every year.

buttcheeks4030d ago

And this year alot of great games have come out with plenty more to later in the year

pivotplease4030d ago

I'm still sad about the Uncharted and Zelda delays. However, now they will probably accompany Gears instead of Halo which still equates to an unprecedented gaming year all around.

gamer11384030d ago

Nothing but damage control because of playstations perceived weak exclusive games for the rest of 2015. There are some big games coming out in 2016, sure. But right now 2015 is gonna go out big. Witcher 3 is imminent, then it's Batman, followed by MGS V, maybe No Mans Sky, Halo 5, Forza 6, Star Wars Battlefront. Not forgetting we've already had Bloodborne and Ori

gaffyh4030d ago

To be fair, the best games will probably be third party next year apart from Uncharted

wegetsignalx4027d ago (Edited 4027d ago )

PS4 has a strong exclusive lineup for the rest of 2015.

PS4 2015 retail (none of these are on X1): Bloodborne, Toukiden: Kiwami, The Order: 1886, MLB 15: The Show, Persona 5, Tearaway Unfolded, Until Dawn, Dragon Quest Heroes, God of War III Remastered, One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3, J-STARS Victory VS+, Onechanbara Z2: Chaos, Ultra Street Fighter 4, Godzilla, Deception IV, Disgaea 5, Journey, Risen 3, Saint Seiya: Soldier's Soul, Legend of Kai: Anniversary Edition, Darksiders 2: Definitive Edition

You mention Ori which is an indie game (and available on PC) but don't admit PS4's digital exclusives like Helldivers, Alienation, Kill Strain, The Tomorrow Children, What Remains of Edith Finch, Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, Drawn to Death, Deep Down, Shadow of the Beast, etc.

Not to mention the dozens of highly rated digital games on PC+PS4 but not X1.

gamer11384025d ago

You clearly didn't read my comment properly and just assumed I was pitting PS4 against Xbox One.

I was saying that 2015 right now looks better than 2016 and that this article is a reaction to Playstation's "PERCEIVED" weaker 2015 line up. Look up that word in the dictionary and you might realise what my comment was saying.

GordonKnight4030d ago (Edited 4030d ago )

Can't wait to see what Nintnedo will bring in 2016. We pretty much know what's coming for X1 & PS4.

pivotplease4030d ago

I'm hoping Animal Crossing Wii U becomes a thing. And that NX stays in the shadows for another year at least.

Rookie_Monster4030d ago (Edited 4030d ago )

After all those game delays in 2015 from Uncharted 4 to Ratchet and Clank to SFV, 2016 better be a good year for PS4.

I also think a new GOW, Gran Turismo, the new Guerilla game cold also be out in the Fall of 2016. That will be an awesome lineup on PS4 and will be hard to top IMO.

KingKionic 4030d ago (Edited 4030d ago )

2015 is this console generation best year.

First half of 2015 major releases

Evole, Dying light, The Order 1886,Battlefield Hardline, BloobBorne Mortal Kombat X Killing Floor 2, The Witcher 3, Project Cars and Batman Arkham Knight.

PS4 has more major releases than that in 2015. Just look at listwar or metacritic.

Cacabunga28d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot27d ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose28d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE28d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername27d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy28d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde27d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire8627d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire8627d ago (Edited 27d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster300028d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle28d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7727d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
