Crazy list, crazy to think that many rpg type games are coming out this year. Thanks for the link Couchpotato.
Your welcome Cronis I didn't even know of half the games on that list till now. If someone is only interested in the PC releases the list is shorter though.

Torment: Tides of Numenera can't come out soon enough for me. I just hope it doesn't get pushed back to 2016.

Thanks for the list. After Reset somehow slipped under my radar... well probably I was too focused on other kickstarters at the time.
Cool, I love they're making a new Bladestorm game. I loved the original one in PS3 a few years ago, it was about an 'alternate' 100 year war, where you would lead an army and take on fortresses and what not. Didn't think it sold enough to justify a sequel, but glad I was wrong.
EDIT: Ok, finished browsing the list. Wow! Great list. Even applying my personal filters (remove non-RPGs, remove action RPGs, remove games not in PC, PS3 or PS4, remove pixel-art games) I still have a massive wave of games coming this year (granted, I'm sure a lot of the TBA games will not ship in 2015 as usual). Didn't realize it was in alphabetical order until like Yakuza

It's really remarkable how many anime, cartoony our old-school visuals games there will be. Unfortunately I don't like such visuals, so most of the games on the list aren't my chip of tea.

I'm actually glad it's happening. For the longest time we haven't been aware of a huge section of RPG games that existed in other platforms, and are as RPGs as Baldur's Gate or Gothic or Wizardry in their own way. I believe your not liking such visuals is a consequence of this (had they existed for PC when you were younger and less 'set' in your mindset, you probably wouldn't have a problem with them now).

I don't really care for the overly cute anime-style visuals either, but underneath the hood on some of the titles that I have played with that art style lies pretty deep and sophisticated RPG mechanics. I might not like the appearance, but the game itself is very good.
A more western example would be Borderlands. I didn't care for the cel-shaded graphics, but I enjoyed the Diablo-with-guns feel of the game.
I hear that about a lot of eastern style games... I believe all of you but I just can't get myself to "ignore" the visuals.

Ah ha ha! Chibi Rorona is just adorable! I'm glad that I don't mind kawaii uguu diabetes inducing games at all, so long as they have solid/interesting RPG mechanics. I don't have a 3DS though, but that may change as there seems to be quite a growing collection of impressive looking RPGs on that system. Also, good to see Gust (one of my favorite JRPG companies, I loves me some Atelier) is still making games even after their complete absorption into Koei-Tecmo late last year.
I also still haven't jumped on the eighth generation console bandwagon. Persona 5 and Disgaea 5 will probably be the PS4's "killer apps" for me though.

another good thing about 3ds, it's fully compatible with Nintendo DS games, so you can buy the old DS RPG games for very cheap nowadays (or preowned from like Gamestop) and play them in the 3DS.Ah ha ha! Chibi Rorona is just adorable!

What a list! I've bookmarked a few games on the list so far that I hadn't previously heard of and I'm barely into the "C" games. Thanks for sharing it Couch!
200 RPGs sounded great until I actually looked at the list. The vast majority of them are JRPGs or retro 16-bit style games. I have little interest in either type.
But that's the thing, since 'RPG' is such a wide spectrum, anybody interested in different types of RPGs can filter out the list according to their own criteria. Better that than the 'top 10 RPGs of 2015' lists that show the same 10 AAA games that I usually don't care about.

Absolutely. I can say this is true from my own experience as a console gamer as a kid. The consoles had some legendary RPGs that a lot of PC gamers missed, such as Chrono Trigger, the Final Fantasy series, the Suikoden series, Tactics Ogre, and so many more.
Because I was able to play these games as a kid, I have no problem with that style of RPGs now, and actually look forward to Eastern-styled games.
Renting a console game from the video store was always great fun, and I was always renting RPGs. I rented so many new, fascinating, obscure RPGs as a kid that I can't even possibly remember them all! But there are, for sure, some real hidden gems on consoles. Just look up SNES RPGs or PS1 RPGs. Plenty of great stuff to discover.

I kind of agree with you, there are a lot of games with the NES look, which is getting overdone.
On the other hand, I do like JRPGs, they take me back to my childhood, so I don't mind those as much, as long as they are well done and not just RPGmaker games.

Nice list daveyd I also covered most of those kickstarters.
I agree with you Fluent as I also grew up playing consoles. If you go back to the 1990's to the mid 2000's JRPGs were the dominate RPG genre every year.
Times have sure changed now.
