Guessing Fallout 76. Some of the other games on that poll aren't expected to do that well. Many people are sick of the yearly installments of Call of Duty and not changing the format, and honestly, just look at any video of black ops 4 gameplay -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8afvF9Q95Rg -- and it looks exactly like Black Ops 3 DLC. Read the comments for extra hilarity.
People praise Bethesda games to high heaven, though, and Fallout 76 has so many things that make you leery such as always online gameplay, and weird PVP situations, along with no NPCs being in the world(or something similar), where players are the "NPCs". It just has fail written all over it with such a mish mash of ideas.
Many people were in love with the alpha for Battlefield 5(myself included), so I think that'll do pretty well. Especially since they are making all the maps free to all players this time around. Seems EA is finally learning their lesson.
Assassin's Creed, we'll see. Origins was the best AC game to date, and was actually fairly enjoyable compared to everything since AC3 where it took a huge nosedive without a conveniently placed cart of straw. If they keep up the same format and refine it, it should be a pretty good game, but they'll have to mix it up if they keep repeating this formula, eventually.
Tomb Raider doesn't really seem to have a ton of hype. They are good games, but I never hear anyone really talking about them before release. After release, people usually say good things, and I enjoyed both of the last games despite the boring characters and mediocre story. The gameplay was enough to keep it interesting, with stealth being pretty good.
Just Cause 4? Meh. Not sure how hyped people are for them, but I find them to be minor improvements over the last games, but ultimately end up being derivative slogs through the same boring destruction over and over, again. Maybe I'm just burnt out on them after similar sandbox games such as Saints Row and what not.
RDR2 will probably do well, and the first was an okay game. The only real problem I had with it was it was just too boring to play on console. The auto aim was incredibly strong and just made the game too easy. Turning it off was a futile effort as the framerate seemed inconsistent and trying to free aim on horse back was just insanely hard. So, it was either too easy or too hard, with no in between. If it came out on PC, I may have changed my tune(as GTA 5 had the exact same problem), but it never happened, so I always thought the game was merely okay, maybe a 7 if I'm being generous.
