i went with the division
sad to see no new mmos rolling in- i guess its an end to an era.
For RPG's I went with ME: Andromeda. Even though it's not going to feel like ME without Shepard I'm curious to see what they do with it.
edit -- nm, thats an expansion...
Camelot unchainged mmo not included for 2016 ?
Paragon Moba not included for 2016 ?
who makes these lists???
Eternal Crusade and The Division are my runners up for this category. Both could either be amazing or bomb, but neither are really innovative. Crowfall brings an entirely new brand of gameplay to the market, so it wins the tie-breaker.
Overwatch... is it really a MOBA? Looks like a TF2 copy from Blizzard, and if anyone could copy TF2 and do it right, then that's probably Blizzard, so it's on my "must try" list for next year. Not to mention, the lineup of heroes they have is just... awesome. Can't wait to see which one fits my play style the most. Probably Junkrat.
In all fairness, we shouldn't be included in the list because, well, I'm less interested in winning a poll, then I am in disappointing people. Once we get into Beta, we'll have a realistic timeline for our launch. We missed our last estimated date and in my opinion, it would be BS to give out a date now. I've seen too many devs do that (including us). Bill asked me about the date and my answer was as it is here. We'll announce that date when we are confident. So, MMORPG/Bill did what they should have done, not include us. Fair is fair, and I support not being included in the poll 100%.
OTOH, on Tuesday we'll be doing some livesteaming that should make people who are concerned about our ability to deliver on the game, a lot less worried. :)
Thanks as always Bill and company!

First grouping has several games that are already out and collecting money so a few don't deserve to be in a 2016 list.I like the Division but it is not a mmo.
Second tier is good ,,FFXV,Kingdom Hearts and Mass effect all good choices.I feel FFXV is going to look the most life like the others will look like a game.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
Thanks Bill! We're watching you too!!!! :)

@MarkJacobs nice and fair, but almost every game on that list also fits very well in "2016 or later" category, I'd even be tempted to say that the "...or later" fits better to many.
This one huge gaping hole proves this site does little on the gaming news front and spends too much time catering to sponsors.
If i actually enjoyed Moba's Paragon would easily hand down blow these other budgetware games out of the water,really sad this site doesn't even know of the game.

Cyberpunk 2077 won't be released in 2016, they're barely starting the actual development.
And what is stupidly worse about this? Crowfall WON the 2015 MMORPG "most anticipated" and it wasn't even close to launching in 2015. In fact, the developers said as much in their own kickstarter here: "The core module is estimated to be delivered by Winter 2016. First release (with partial functionality) will begin alpha testing in late Summer 2015."
SO! To break it down: MMORPG in 2015 voted a game that the developers themselves stated won't launch in 2015 as "Most Anticipated 2015", while this year removing a game [Camelot Unchained] from voting because they -MMORPG- assume it won't launch in 2016 even though the developers have said it would.
FARCE! I CALL THIS VOTE A FARCE!

It might. If it said 2016 or later, I'd be fine with that. Bill asked me a honest question and I gave him an honest answer. :)

With open beta in summer 2016 it will most likely be released in 2016.
