Most Anticipated Video Games of 2016, Part 2: New IP and Indie Releases
Earlier this week, we previewed the most-anticipated videogame sequels and remakes coming in 2016. Now, it's time to look at a second batch of games that may be even more important to the future of gaming: brand-new IP. These newcomers may not yet have the name recognition that the established franchises have earned, but will hopefully bring something fresh and original to game consoles (and PCs) this year.
The latest title from Tearaway and LittleBigPlanet developer Media Molecule, Dreams also has a heavy emphasis on user-generated content like the latter game. Here, though, you won't be designing levels; instead, you have greater flexibility to create and share "dreams," which could be anything from animations to illustrations to puzzles, limited only by your imagination. If that sounds a little hazy, you may have stumbled across the game's biggest obstacle to success: explaining its concept to gamers.
