There's still Hitman Absolution, Assassin's Creed 3 & Far Cry 3 releasing on PC in the next 3 weeks (4 for FC3) and probably the last episode of the Walking Dead series too in and amongst those but that'll be it for me this year. Not too long for some of the 2013 releases mind, Ni no Kuni for example is only 2 months away now. Speaking of which is anyone else here looking forward to this one or just me? (For anime fans or those who haven't been following its development, it has gorgeous art done by Studio Ghibli! )
For me (In order of most anticipated. Will be playing all titles on PC unless otherwise stated):
BioShock Infinite
The Last of Us (PS3)
Grand Theft Auto V (PS3 for day 1 release. PC upgrade if/when released)
Beyond: Two Souls (PS3)
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch (PS3)
SimCity
The Wolf Among Us
Company of Heroes 2
Metro: Last Light
Rocksmith 2014
Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs
Tomb Raider
Rayman Legends (Wii U)
Saints Row IV
Killzone: Shadow Fall (PS4)
Knack (PS4)
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist
Batman: Arkham Origins
Dead Island: Riptide
The Cave
The Bureau: XCOM Declassified
Crysis 3
Dead Space 3
Resident Evil 6
(+ all the kickstarter games I've backed which are slated for 2013 releases. I won't go listing those but they wouldn't all be at the bottom here.)
No known release year / wishful thinking for 2013 release:
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain & Ground Zeroes (PS3)
Half-Life 3

The Last Guardian (PS3)
Telltale's The Walking Dead Season 2

I'm not particularly excited for either Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Crysis 3, Dead Space 3 or Resident Evil 6 (only just arriving to PC) tbh but I've played all the others from those series so I'll get these too and give them a try. I'll give the new C&C a chance too if they're adding a SP campaign after launch and maybe SW1313. Perhaps some of these will surprise me.
Like Dishonored has been for me since it was first announced, Watch Dogs is my #1 contender for GOTY next year and the one I'm most excited for. That would be followed by BioShock Infinite, The Last of Us, GTAV etc I would say. - I have added a smaller list with MGS etc too which includes titles which may release in 2013 as well but aren't guranteed.
Also I haven't included Cyberpunk 2077 from CDPR at all as this will be 2014 onwards I would think. Whichever year that releases though it will be my #1 too most likely hehe.
2012 hasn't been too bad for gaming, infact, if Hitman/AC3/FC3 turn out as well as expected it will have been pretty great actually but for Dishonored alone I am thankful. 2013 on the other hand is already looking incredibly exciting and I'm sure next years E3 will be very interesting too!
Which games will you guys be playing next year?
