Well, 2014 has come and gone and it was mostly hype. The AAAs of the 'next gen' arent really living up to the hype for the most part. Most are just rehashes of the same tired themes and mechanics or *yawn* another sequel.

I have seen a few games on the horizon that actually arent mostly marketing hype and sparked my interests. It seems that sci fi and space games are making a comeback in 2015, much to my delight since it is my favorite genre. I guess people are *finally* getting bored with the same old fantasy tropes

Heres my current shortlist:

Enemy Starfighter

Game looks pretty fun its like a more arcadey lite version of Elite: Dangerous or Star Citizen Arena Commander. It also will feature Occulus Rift support. You can check out some gameplay here:

Rebel Galaxy

This game also looks pretty fun. A mixture of action and space tactics with RPG elements thrown in. This one is also coming the the Xbox One for the MS fans out there:

Off World Trading Company

An interesting refreshing new take on the RTS genre thats not combat based. Its currently available on Steam for early access. The price seems a bit steep but I guess they are marketing this as AAA title.

Etherium

An ambitious RTS game thats also in the space genre that should be able to give Grey Goo a run for its money. Unfortunately updated info on this game has been few and far between since the January 2015 release was pushed back, but I recently received a tweet from one of the developers saying they are busy readying the game for launch.

Fractured Space

Another one thats currently on Steam early access, this is a 5v5 MP space combat game with team fights between capital ships. Seems a bit like Dreadnaught at first glance, but its actually a bit more indepth and strategic with different classes of ships like carriers. I currently own this one. Its still in very early Alpha but its also shaping up quite nicely.

Finally a couple that are not in the sci-fi/space realm:

Gigantic

A multiplayer third person arena combat game with a few new interesting twists on the concept. Most people already know about this game but you can sign up for the beta on the link above. Love the art direction and the fast paced combat.

Armello

A beautifully crafted strategic boardgame style game. Its like Game of Thrones with animals love the concept. Its also currently on Steam early access:

well thats all for now, feel free to comment link some games that you are looking forward to that I might not know about!

PEACE!

I was excited to The Order 1886 but tbh the game looks pretty bad, not bad, but isn't that paradigm breaker that I was expecting.

My list:

1 - Silent Hills: a horror game that look pretty awesome, I played the demo and I get pretty excited for it.

2 - Metal Gear Solid V: MGS is MGS, waiting for a tons of hours fun.

3 - Uncharted IV: The best game series on the PS, probably one of the best of the year

OP likes space :)

Fairly short list for me this year, since I am still catching up on my backlog.

Batman Arkham Knight

GTA5 on PC

Witcher 3

Metal Gear Solid V

Star Citizen (although that will be fully completed by 2016)

Maybe Disney/Lucasarts will see that space combat is coming back, and make a new generation of space combat in the Star Wars universe. (can dream can't I?)

@Cloud_imperium: Thats a nice list but your #5 kinda is the only one i disagree with.
But you are certainly right this can be a good year for gaming!
