10 Most Hotly Anticipated Original Gaming Properties In 2015

10. The Order: 1886

After a fairly lukewarm launch trailer that didn't really give anything away - and also made Victorian, Steampunk-London look boring as hell - The Order essentially faded away into near-obscurity, becoming 'that game' PS4 owners knew was coming, yet really couldn't muster the energy to get excited about. Then you took a look at it in action, and man it's one pretty-looking game, backed up by Ready At Dawn's coding prowess (they're the guys that made God of War feel epic on PSP) and the fact that with gameplay that looks as satisfying as Gears of War, there's quite the gap in the third-person shooter market that needs filling right now. Playing as a band of warriors tackling the demonic hordes that litter the city, you're essentially a whole group of Van Helsings, something that when you throw in some very satisfying-looking head-popping shotgun blasts and a slow-motion Red Dead-style targeting system should bring everything together nicely.
