The year 2015 is on and back then many players have gotten word some new Ips coming out with various remastered classics and sequels that continue on great franchises. We can hope that this year will provide us with better games then some of the disappointing games that we got back in 2014. Games that have a release date for the UK are counted, any games that I placed on the 2013 first impression but have not been released yet are disqualified for this list. These are the picks of Most Anticipated Games of 2015.
10: Moon Chronicles
Platform: Nintendo 3DS (EShop)
Developer: Renegade Kid
Release Date due: 2015 (Hopefully)
The main reason that Moon Chronicles is on this list for 2015 is because the game has yet to arrive in Europe. For what was announced and promised that the developers have planned to release the game for it's European release as a complete single game meaning all of the episode are perhaps in a single download or a 3DS Card as a physical game. Moon Chronicles itself is a superb looking remastered game that was originally on the Nintendo DS back in 2009. The game offers multiple control options like using the Circle Pad Pro to offer Dual Analog support or using the Stylus touch screen for smooth turning and aiming. We hope that Moon Chronicles can continue to release new episodes of this remastered gem and hope that the game finally makes it's release into Europe.
9: The Order 1886
Platform: PlayStation 4
Developer: Ready at Dawn/SCE Santa Monica Studio
Release Date due: 20th February
Influenced by the Uncharted games developer Ready at Dawn has given it's New game a nice altered history of London in a steampunk setting. An Order of Knights are to protect citizens from hybrid monster men. Demos showed off the impressive gunplay and the overall presentation that shows off the PS4 technology.
8: Street Fighter V
Platform: PlayStation 4/PC
Developer: Capcom
Release Date: TBA
We all know that Capcom has a history of making tweaked versions of later Street Fighter games in order to make them fell balanced. Street Fighter V when live demos were shown may hope to change all that although we haven't got full word of the character roaster or if there are any new characters planned. What was shown was the super charged gameplay with a new revenge bar and finishers where you get special stage KOs like knocking an opponent into a corner to get a bowl of soup on the head.
7: Bloodborne
Platform: PlayStation 4
Developer: From Software
Release Date: 24th March (North America), 25th March (Europe), 26th March (Japan), 27th March (Rest of the UK)
From Software knows how to deliver every bit of punishing moments with their Souls series and their newest game Bloodborne is hoping to bring a faster combat making the player more quick to be able to take down fierce monsters. There is also a new risk versus reward system through the game's Health regeneration system, allowing the players to use within a small window of time, recover potions of lost health by actually striking back at their attacker. There are also more weapon types in the game then just typical medieval fantasy conventional weapons and also each of them can transform into different states which offers a different approach to combat. Instead of Shields there are firearms which can be useful in stunning enemies. It might even be possible for Bloodborne to have many, many different way that the player is going to die just like with the Souls games.
6: Uncharted 4 A Thief's End
Platform: PlayStation 4
Developer: Naughty Dog
Release Date: 2015
Nathan Drake is back for his newest Uncharted adventure yet that will test his physical limits, his resolve and what he is willing to sacrifice. In Uncharted fashion we can expect the series gunplay to get better and Troy Baker is said to voice Drake's older brother Sam for the game who appeared in the demo. Uncharted 4 will doubt be looking fantastic with the PlayStation 4 technology.
5: Star Wars Battlefront
Platform: PlayStation 4/XBox One/PC
Developer: EA Digital Illusions CE/Electronic Arts
Release Date: Holiday 2015
Star Wars games haven't got the best treatment in a longwhile but one of the best games that the franchises holds currently are the Battlefront games which lets players experience the major fights from the movies as a trooper as well as a Jedi in the excellent Battlefront II. This Battlefront reboot is going to use the frostbite engine to build the game as well as incorporating many elements that made Battlefront I and II impressive. This is a great chance for Star Wars to be ready to get excited over the release of the new movie and also how the final product of this new Battlefront game turns out.
4: Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain
Platform: PlayStation 3/PlayStation 4/XBox 360/XBox One/PC
Developer: Kojima Productions
Release Date: 2015
Last year Ground Zeroes was one of Konami's most questionable marketing plans considering it was an overly expensive demo to showcase how The Phantom Pain is going to be. Thankfully The Phantom Pain is the real game itself with the game being about 200 times more longer. The game wants you to relate to Venom Snake over the story of the game, enemy AI has improved in terms of awareness which is going to make sneaking or take an enemy out more challenging. The game is going to include new features like a base system which can be upgraded so that you can capture enemy soldiers, a brand new day and night cycle in real time and lastly the open world gameplay which will allow freedom to explore the world and get to missions by either plane, helicopter or motorcycle. We can hope that this game makes up for Ground Zeroes.
3: The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask 3D
Platform: Nintendo 3DS
Developer: Nintendo EAD Tokyo
Release Date: Spring 2015
After Nintendo remastered Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo 3DS fans begun to spit out possibilities that the company will do the same with Majora's Mask. Thanks to online petitions Nintendo finally decided to remake Majora's Mask for the 3DS with enhanced character models and stereoscopic 3D graphics. Fans will no doubt be pleased that this remake is coming and what else that the game is going to include before it's release.
2: Time Crisis 5
Platform: Arcade
Developer: Bandai Namco Games
Release Date: March 2015 (Japan)
Namco's legendary Light Gun shooter has not seen a new sequel for about over 8 years from the moderately received Time Crisis 4 alongside the spinoff game Razing Storm, which their console releases tried to take a shot at the First Person Shooter market but fell with execution. Time Crisis 5 is looking to reboot the series with a new look on the gun controller and the game using two different pedals which will either control where you can attack and take cover from either the left side or the side to shoot down your enemies. There is still a two player link mode which made future Time Crisis games enjoyable in the arcade but what else is Bandai Namco going to do for the game. Let's hope this year it comes to the west also.

1: Tales of Zestiria
Platform: PlayStation 3
Developer: Bandai Namco Games
Release Date: 22nd January 2015 (Japan), Q2 2015 (World Wide)
The Tales of franchise is close to its 20th Anniversary and thankfully its celebration couldn't be more beautiful then with the announcement of Tales of Zestiria. This new Tale is brining in many of the various Tales of related staff like Hideo Baba, Tatsuro Udo, designers Kosuke Fujishima and Mutsumi Inomata and composers Motoi Sakuraba and Go Shiina working together for the game. Tales of Zestiria is going to include various gameplay features from other titles but now including an open world style where players can freely explore the world and even fight in that same world without a separate battle screen. The battle system from Tales of Graces returns incorporating dodging and attacking at the right moments but also there is the new Fusion system taken directly from Dragon Ball Z which two different characters become one throughout the battle. Don't worry local 4 player co-operative is still there. We can also look get a glimpse of the Tales of Zestiria animation that was released recently and also plenty of DLC content that can be downloaded as well. With so much that this upcoming Tales of Installment does right it is easy to say that this game is the biggest Anticipated Game for 2015.
