Not at all surprised by the top 3 but some very interesting top 10 results after that. Didn't think people love Yakuza and Xenoblade so much

ResetEra's Most Anticipated Games of 2020

GameStop could have treated the title like a normal publisher and made a reasonable profit off sales of the game. Instead, they chose to under-produce the game to turn it into a premium used product where they could maximize their profit at the expense of both customers and their partner Nintendo. I have no sympathy for anything that has happened to a company whose whole business model is based around cutting developers and publishers out of sales.
How did that help anyone who had the original 3DS and didn't want to buy new hardware for the one game, not to mention those of us who simply don't play handheld games?
Now that we can agree on. It is in my most anticipated list, after all!
It's also from the very same developer that gave us arguably two of the most forgettable Halo games in the series so, I can see why there's a little bit of trepidation about Halo: Infinite.
A real shame Hollow Knight: Silksong wasn't counted, as it is on a lot of folks lists!

Not sure how that got cut, sorry about that! Will have it added in a sec.
The top 3 comes as no surprise. I figured Cyberpunk would win out over TLoU2 but just by a bit. But 2020 is gonna be such an amazing year for games. I can't imagine anyone thinking next year is gonna be dull when it comes to releases
No worries. I just figured it wasn't eligible for some reason or another.
Yep. It was in my top 10 friend. The first 2 wowed me as a kid and I adored Lego Marvel Superheros. Skywalker Saga seems to be big improvement over their previous work so I'm anxious to see some gameplay and dig into it
Very interested in seeing what the second half of the year does. Nintendo is almost totally unknown and Sony/MS have new consoles.
I forgot to edit my post. Oh well.
Anyway, boring list. Will be a slow year for me. I only had four entries on my list, of which only VtM:BL2 is up there. Luckily I have everything but DMC5 from 2019 to catch up on (though I probably won't finish or even buy some of them this year still).

Oh if it had been confirmed for 2020, it would be in the top 10. It'd be in mine, that's for sure.

Yeah a lot of people voted for those games and BOTW2 despite all three being used as specific examples of what isn't allowed. :P
I may change the rules next year to allow more nebulous releases depending on feedback, but I prefer it this way as it prevents certain games from showing up on this list over and over again until they actually release.
Before they started doing the whole 2nd print run with selling them at high used prices, they actually DID have a decent amount of copies that were brand-new and sealed, and at the usual $60 price-point. I worked at GS at the time, and the store I was at actually received a decent amount of copies (back when all Wii/DS games were still receiving HUGE amount of new copies). It was actually... a slow sell, which might have just been my location. But there were brand-new copies sitting for a while. If anything, I don't think GS even knew how well it would sell, and seemed similar of the later Nintendo tactics we saw of under-shipping things like Fire Emblem: Awakening and such, which they didn't believe in at the time. Seemed like GS was trying to do a "Limited Run Games" approach at the time... the used part like I said, was a different story, though (didn't work there anymore to see that play out, just read about it).
That's more a personal issue, though. There are plenty of people that do upgrade their handheld systems, and that would also be on the person for refusing to play a game because it's handheld, rather than console. Switch kind of solved that issue. The REAL shame was that there was only like, 2 titles that were branded and exclusive as "New 3DS".
I think not allowing games that don't have confirmed released dates is the way to go. We don't want to encourage the same games clogging up multiple lists of Most Anticipated Games year after year.
It's a product of the way it had to be counted due to formatting. The higher total is the final place, the formatting had to be summed across each page. The bottom one is a subtotal.
Same answer for KH3

Sorry! Just fixed it, hopefully that should be the last mistake lol.
- The Last of Us Part II (2)
- Cyberpunk 2077 (1)
- Final Fantasy VII Remake (3)
- Ghost of Tsushima (4)
- Marvel's Avengers (23) [in comparison, Marvel's Spider-Man was #3 in 2018's vote]
- Halo Infinite (10)
- Watch Dogs Legions (16)
- Doom Eternal (6)
- Resident Evil 3 (5)
- Dragon Ball Z Kakarot (27)
7/10 in the top 10.
I think the way you're doing it now is just fine. However, I wonder if it would be too much if DLC expansion packs were allowed. Perhaps it would be unfair since it's like voting for the game again.
Especially since AC wasn't meant to slip to 2020. Really exciting when the year already looks ridiculous.
Do we know if games like Ghosts of Tsushima and The Last of Us Part 2 will be on PS5 at launch or do we just not know right now?
