I meanā¦is anyone really surprised?
No. But I was hoping KCD2 would at least snatch best RPG⦠![]()
It was a tough year, to be fair
I havenāt played it yet but I understand E33CO is amazing.
Iām incredibly impressed with the resolve of human spirit, inspiration, and dedication to create a piece of art, especially something so amazing.
I wish some other games had won some of these major awards.
There were some pretty neat announcements though, Gang of Dragon being my personal no. 1. I havenāt been really happy with the direction SEGA/RGG have been taking the Yakuza series in recently, so seeing OG Nagoshi working on an alternative makes me quite enthusiastic.
Ace Combat 8 was another umph for a jet nut like myself. And that Coven of the Chicken Foot thing (or whatever it was called) looked pretty charming too. And of course, a new Remedy game is always a plus.
Also, for a moment I thought Patient Zero Requiem would finally be another PZ-style mini campaign, but alasā¦
The Thank You Update that went live during Clair Obscurās GOTY acceptance speech looks fantastic.
New location (Versoās Drafts), new boss battles in the Endless Tower, new costumes (Maelle in a tophat
), luminas and weapons.
Most importantly, Photo Mode and the ability to save up to 50 loadouts.
I hate that they released it at 11pm my time. ![]()
SAROS looks amazing for fans of Returnal. Itās basically⦠more Returnal with a different skin lol.
There even seems to be some strange out-of-place mysterious hotel corridor that will reveal major character backstory much like the mysterious old house in Returnal
ā¦GIMME!!
You may have noticed a mysterious corridor and bedroom which you will need to explore. In the interest of protecting our mystery I will let the trailer share what we want to share about our story so you can discover it ahead.
Also yay, Jane Perry returns to voice a character! Love that lady. ![]()
For fans of Selene Vassos from Returnal, the one and only Jane Perry is back as Sheridan Bouchard. Jerome Jackson is performed by fellow Aussie Ben Prendergast (Tyr in God of War: Ragnarok), Sebastian Torres is performed by David DeSantos, and you can hear the fantastic Adriyan Raye (South of Midnight) and Shunori Ramanthan in our trailer too. We have even more amazing cast members to share, they have all been exceptional.
Also, shown on the Playstation website are the suits you get for the pre-order and Deluxe editions.
Hands of Shore seems to be an original design for the pre-order, and the Deluxe suits are based off Returnal, God of War, and Ghost of Yotei, woohoo! Love the streak of red face-paint on the Midgard armour.
oooooh and with Control 2 next year too?? gosh canāt wait, Iām eating goooood
Where the hell is Half Life 3!?
Itās good
a nice conclusion to the Survivor trilogy. Looks like weāre going into the Amazon trilogy now
Itās in the box.
Imagine this: it comes pre-installed on the Steam Machine and for one year is not available anywhere else on any other storefront including Steam itself.
Iād say half-life fans arenāt crazy enough to potentially spend 1,000 dollars on something just for half-life but i remembered alyx exists and how pricey vr is so go on
idk who bbno$ is but this feels like āfortnite and its consequencesā; why do people want to āwatch concertsā inside games now?
Heās a pretty popular singer and cosplayer heās also in a mobile game I like somehow twice now as of 2 days ago
Not sure and it really doesnāt fit this game in particular
Some TGA thoughts. New Tomb Raider looks nice, Iām glad they seem to be willing to let Lara be more like her classic self than the gritty reboot version. Saying that though, Tomb Raider is one of those game franchises I want to get properly into.
New Mega Man is good, I wish Capcom was willing to just commit to the future of the franchise though. Mega Man 11 came out 7 years ago, seemed like a fresh start, and then aside from some compilations the franchise seemed dormant again. So hope this time, the franchise can have a more constant presence. That and give us X9.
Criterion making a Star Wars racing game annoys me. Iām sure itāll be good, and Iām sure plenty will enjoy it. But god, I just want Burnout to come back.
Resident Evil 9 looks fun, Leon coming back is cool.
So is IOIās marketing strategy just to have big celebrity tie-ins? Couldnāt use TGAs to make a cool, memorable trailer, you just show off a celebrity, who might not even be in the game for that long? I donāt get it. 009 is going to be played by a celebrity actor, arenāt they?
Total War: Warhammer 40K is a long time coming, and looks like a ton of fun. Kind of game I want to get a new PC to play. No Chaos faction at launch does seem a bit odd, and sadly my favourite faction, the Tāau Empire, isnāt here. But Iām sure this will sell well, and with Creative Assembly still making DLC for Total War: Warhammer III 3 years after launch, Iām sure a bunch more factions will arrive in DLC over time.
Friendly reminder RE9 is meant to be the bookend of everything that happened prior. I strongly recommend anyone interested in this game to go in blind. Leon was rumored for awhile now and his name has been thrown around by leakers as well.
The leaks have only been reinforced when things got confirmed and RE9 is looking to make some big and bold decisions that will affect the series going forward.
