15 Gaming Wishes For 2015

2015 is mere hours away, and i could not be more excited to say goodbye to 2014. A variety of issues happened in the course of the yr that I appreciated, and plenty of issues I didn’t. The video games business has loads to show after 2014 with numerous disastrous launches, delays and disappointments. Going forward into 2015 there are specific games I'd like to see announced, sure games launch, or particular things occur throughout the gaming industry. These are my needs for the sport industry; 15 for 2015.

15. Final Fantasy XV in 20XV

This seems almost inconceivable seeing as we’re almost at the 10-year anniversary of the game’s announcement, however I feel pretty optimistic Final Fantasy XV would possibly at least launch in Japan by the point 2015 ends. The truth that we’re getting a gameplay demo in 2015, the big quantity of gameplay trailers released in 2014, and the fact that the English voice-overs are already achieved is enough proof to counsel we’ll be taking part in Final Fantasy XV sooner than later.

14. No More DDOS Attacks on PSN and Xbox Live

December 2014 was a horrible time to be a gamer. Not only did we need to cope with the buggy launches of DriveClub, Assassin’s Creed: Unity, and Halo: The Master Chief Collection, however we also had to deal with Lizard Squad who sought to ruin Christmas for therefore many players. With no function or intent, Lizard Squad bombarded PSN and Xbox Live servers with DDOS assaults. This crippled PSN and Xbox Live throughout the month, but also on Christmas Day when 1000's of recent PS4 and Xbox One homeowners had been unwrapping their consoles. These consoles need firmware replace to properly operate, something that can’t be accomplished if the consoles can’t join on-line. We hope that in 2015 this malicious group stays away from PSN and Xbox Live.

13. Assassin’s Creed: Victory to not be a Buggy Mess

Assassin’s Creed: Victory was rudely outed December 2014 as the next Assassin’s Creed sport, and there’s one factor everyone is thinking proper now; please don’t be like Assassin’s Creed: Unity. Unity was a broken wreck at launch. Riddled with bugs, glitches, a Co-Op function that barely works, and a constantly dipping framerate, Unity is the poster-boy for how to not launch a recreation. True, the expertise has gotten higher with patches, but that’s no excuse for launching Unity within the state it was in. Victory can't obtain victory whether it is in anyway like Unity. Hopefully, with Ubisoft Quebec leading growth, we won’t have to experience an Assassin’s Creed wreck two years in a row.

12. Star Wars: Battlefront to work at Launch

Dice is bringing their FPS expertise to Star Wars: Battlefront Holiday 2015. We can’t look ahead to them to use their knowledge harnessed over many Battlefield video games to create the ultimate Battlefront expertise. You already know which Battlefield recreation Dice shouldn’t model Battlefront after? Battlefield 4. Undoubtedly the worst launch of 2013, Battlefield 4 was an enormous mess with numerous bugs, glitches, and netcode points. Nobody wants to open a model new multiplayer recreation at launch and discover out its unplayable. That’s what occurred with Battlefield 4 and a whole bunch of games in 2014. Actually, let’s make 2015 the alternative of 2014 and have every sport work correctly at launch, please!

11. Red Dead Redemption 2 Money guide Dead Redemption 2 Revealed

Grand Theft Auto V is out on PS4, Xbox One, PS3, and Xbox 360, and the Pc model launches in January. With that out of the way in which its time to head again to the old west. Rumors concerning one in all 2010s best video games have been circulating for some time now, and its about time Rockstar reveals Red Dead Redemption 2 patch notes Dead Redemption 2. We know its occurring, and with all variations of Grand Theft Auto V out in the wild the time has never been more proper. We could also be ready years for the game to lastly hit store shelves, but higher knowing now then being left at midnight.

10. God of War IV Teaser

At the PlayStation Experience we learned that a new God of War recreation is in development, but that we may need to wait one other yr. However, that doesn’t imply we won’t get a teaser. God of War III’s teaser trailer went stay June 2008, a full two years before the game hit retailer shelves. It’s been 5 years since we’ve gotten a correct God of War recreation, and plenty of are itching to know what’s going to occur in Kratos’ subsequent outing. Hopefully we’ll get a few hints in 2015.

9. Pokken Tournament Coming to North America and Europe

Nintendo and Bandai Namco shook the world of Pokemon in 2014 with the announcement of Pokken Tournament, a brand new combating recreation. Obviously there was a whole lot of excitement over this cross-over, till we came upon that it was going to be Japan-only. Even worse, it would only be released in arcades. We’re hoping that Nintendo and Bandai Namco announce this sport for the Wii U, and that can launch in North America and Europe.

8. Nintendo Announces the brand new Wii U

The Wii U can’t compete with the PS4 and Xbox One as is. Basically a PS3/ Xbox 360, the Wii U got here too late, and despite having the very best first-social gathering lineup in 2014, has did not sustain with PS4 and Xbox One. It’s time for Nintendo to get on, or at the very least near Sony and Microsoft’s stage. The new Wii U might be a recreation changer with more power, a brand new elegant design, and the adoption of a more conventional controller. Perhaps it could be sufficient to draw back third-get together publishers. We can’t anticipate a new console but, however an update (like the brand new 3DS) might flip across the Wii U’s fortunes.

7. An End to PS3, Xbox 360 Support

This could seem just a little egocentric, but I actually need support for PS3 and Xbox 360 to finish. It’s not that I don’t like the systems. I love them both and have cherished my time with both, but it's time for the industry to move. Continuing growth on these outdated methods continues to carry again video games like Call of Duty, Destiny, Battlefield, and far Cry. Developers can’t correctly take advantage of the additional energy in these new consoles if they’re being tied down by PS3 and Xbox 360. Now, builders can make final-gen unique games like Assassin’s Creed: Rogue, but cross-gen improvement must stop in 2015.

6. Batman: Arkham Knight Meets Expectations

Expectations for Batman: Arkham Knight have been already excessive earlier than the sport was delayed to June 2, 2015. Now, expectations are even larger. With all this extra time, we’re hoping for probably the most polished, visceral, and grand Batman expertise ever. Batman: Arkham Knight seems to be set to fulfill these expectations due to a large amount of secrecy surrounding the sport. Despite being a high profile recreation, Rocksteady has been very careful about how much info we get out of each trailer and press release. The story, Gotham City, the Arkham Knight and Scarecrow’s plans remain wrapped in secrecy, and will probably be unwrapping those secrets and techniques that’s going to make Batman: Arkham Knight arduous to put down.

5, Call of Duty 12 takes us Back to World War II

Back in 2007 we had been all bored with World War II, and the soar to Modern Warfare was fresh and thrilling. The alternative is true right now. We’re bored with Modern Warfare and semi-Future Warfare. It’s time for FPS video games to strive one thing new, by going into the previous. Rumors have been floating round for some time now that Treyarch’s next Call of Duty sport would return to World War II, one thing I very a lot hope for. We need a change, and typically that change could be found by returning to your roots.

4. No More Remasters….

2014 bought a pass because not lots of unique content material for PS4 and Xbox One was being released till the final quarter of the 12 months. 2015 is completely different, as a result of now we’re starting to see growth for these new platforms ramp up. There’s no need to see teams waste their time to convey video games only a few years old to these new consoles. Already we've got DmC: Devil May Cry Definitive Edition, Devil Mary Cry 4: Special Edition, Saints Row IV: Re-Elected, Dead or Alive 5: Last Round, and Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster among others. Now there are some exceptions for video games that were solely launched on one platform (Resident Evil Remake HD), or games you can’t get anymore because they’re so old (Grim Fandago: Remastered). Apart from these few exceptions, sufficient is sufficient!

3. But Uncharted and Gears of War Collections Would be Nice

A bit hypocritical perhaps, however not less than two Uncharted games and one Gears of War game may use some critical updating. Both Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune (2007) and Gears of War (2006) are horribly outdated in comparison with trendy requirements. It can be cool to see these video games redone with trendy gameplay and graphics. Uncharted: Golden Abyss (2012) was released on the PS Vita. Seeing it remade for PS4 can be candy as pie. Personally, I’d love to see the collections bundled together ala Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection and Gears of War: The Locust War Collection can be so cool to have.

2. Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, Halo 5: Guardians, and The Legend of Zelda U to be Amazing

Uncharted 4, Halo 5 and The Legend of Zelda would be the poster-kids for the PS4, Xbox One and Wii U all through 2015. All three will launch in time for the Holiday, and you guess individuals will likely be attempting to tear them down. PS4 lovers will assault Halo and Zelda, Xbox lovers will attack Uncharted and Zelda and Wii U lovers will assault Uncharted and Halo. Why? There’s no profit to tearing down any of the three video games. All three video games are going to be wonderful, and if there was any yr to attempt to get all three consoles then 2015 is that yr.

1. E3 2015 is for the Gamers

Something I liked about E3 2014 is the robust focus the large 3 had on players. Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo all targeted on delivering the video games that we, the gamers, want to play. Aside from Sony getting a little bit sidetracked, E3 2014 ended up being one in all the higher exhibits in years. Let’s keep that up going into E3 2015.
