And it&#8217;s a shame.<\/p>\n<p>We think they&#8217;re definitely worth getting excited about, so here&#8217;s the five games we think deserve a bigger spot on your video game radar for next year:<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong>Hitman<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14711 colorbox-14694\" src=\"http:\/\/www.menstuff.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Hitman.jpg\" alt=\"Hitman\" width=\"700\" height=\"376\" \/><\/p>\n<h5>Release date: 11\u00a0March\u00a02016 (Xbox One, PS4, PC)<\/h5>\n<p>Gameplay for the upcoming <em>Hitman<\/em> game may be sparse, but we should see more soon because it\u2019s\u00a0finally getting a release in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>The bald-headed, barcoded assassin is back, and we\u2019re sure he\u2019s going to be thrown into some pretty complex murderous conundrums, with massive open environments filled with possibilities and the ability for players to choose their approach.<\/p>\n<p>It looks absolutely gorgeous too, as is par for the course with this franchise.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong>Quantum Break<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-14699 colorbox-14694\" src=\"http:\/\/www.menstuff.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Quantum-Break.jpg\" alt=\"Quantum Break\" width=\"700\" height=\"395\" \/><\/p>\n<h5>Release date: 5 April\u00a02016 (Xbox One)<\/h5>\n<p><em>Quantum Break<\/em>, which comes from the makers of <em>Max Payne<\/em> and <em>Alan Wake<\/em>, is a third-person shooter that\u2019s being made alongside a live-action television series.<\/p>\n<p>The game follows a time travel experiment gone awry, not only causes time to start breaking down, but granting the three main characters \u2013 Jack Joyce, Beth Wilder, and Paul Serene \u2013 the ability to manipulate time.<\/p>\n<p>For example, Serene, the main antagonist, can see into the future to decide which choices to make in the present;\u00a0while Joyce, one of the two protagonists, can stop time.<\/p>\n<p>The two are pursued by Monarch Solutions, a corporation founded by Serene. It\u2019s one of the most interesting-looking games and we can\u2019t wait to see more.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong>Dark Souls III<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-14707 colorbox-14694\" src=\"http:\/\/www.menstuff.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Dark-Souls-3.jpg\" alt=\"Dark Souls 3\" width=\"700\" height=\"395\" \/><\/p>\n<h5>Release date: 12 April 2016 (Xbox One, PS4, PC)<\/h5>\n<p>One year on from critically-superb PS4 exclusive <em>Bloodborne<\/em> \u2013 which owed a great deal to the <em>Souls\u00a0<\/em>series of course \u2013 the epitome\u00a0of controller-smashing\u00a0RPGs returns for a third time, and for the first time developed specifically for current-gen technology.<\/p>\n<p>Having learned a few things from <em>Bloodborne<\/em>, director Hidetaka Miyazaki may be about to drop the best <em>Souls<\/em> game to date.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong>Ratchet &amp; Clank<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14698 colorbox-14694\" src=\"http:\/\/www.menstuff.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Ratchet-and-Clank.jpg\" alt=\"Ratchet and Clank\" width=\"700\" height=\"395\" \/><\/p>\n<h5>Release date: Q1\/Q2 2016 (Xbox One, PS4, PC)<\/h5>\n<p>Hilariously described as \u201cthe game based on the movie based on the game\u201d, the upcoming <em>Ratchet &amp; Clank<\/em> game is not a remake, but rather a re-imagining\u00a0of the original game\u2019s story, which will also be showcased in the\u00a0upcoming animated feature film of the same name.<\/p>\n<p>Developer Insomniac is\u00a0behind the scenes once again, and we wouldn\u2019t have it any other way.
