10 Gaming Predictions For The Rest Of 2016
5. No Man's Sky Is A 7/10 Game
The Prediction: The massively-hyped No Man's Sky finally releases on 9 August 9 to broadly positive reviews, but isn't the epic masterpiece many were hoping for.
Why It Will Happen: Because the gaming press have done an arguably irresponsible job hyping the game up to a ridiculous level that it almost certainly can't reach.
The media have run with an intriguing concept and built it up to be the second coming of Christ, so it's only natural that the final product will disappoint if it's a lot more simple than many are expecting.
Why It Might Not: Then again, there's always the possibility that the hype is justified, and No Man's Sky won't just be another empty, rote sci-fi title like Destiny. Still, it's probably best to wait for reviews before handing your money over.
