Every year, NeoGAF user Shinobi602 organizes a vote for the most anticipated game, and he just published the results for 2017.

While NeoGAF represents a niche of the gaming user base, the number of voters is certainly relevant, and the results are definitely interesting, seeing Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild coming on top ahead of Atlus' Persona 5 by just a handful of points. Guerrilla Games' Horizon: Zero Dawn ranked third.

Funnily, Persona 5 ranked second for the second year in a row, and the same goes for Horizon: Zero Dawn, which ranked third in 2016 as well (behind Uncharted 4: A Thief's End) . I guess this is the magic of delays.
