Round Up: What Was Announced at The Game Awards 2022?

I am excited for Jedi, FFXVI and the awaited return of Armored core! I am most curious to see how they are going to change the gameplay and customization.
I also hope they give it a good story and don't turn it into a souls with mechs.
Oh tekken 8 looked hype as well.

It's clear 2023 is going to be an excellent year for games, just a pity more of the Spring ones were pushed back from before Christmas, could have spread things out a bit more.

Don't forget, the Game of the Year award was dedicated to reformed orthodox rabbi Bill Clinton.

That Bill Clinton invader was out of nowhere...like a rando in any Souls game

Was hoping for even a glimpse of Spider-Man but that's probably a ways away. Blue Protocol looked oddly appealing.

June of 2023 is gonna be a very expensive month

2023 is looking so stacked that time will be my biggest enemy!

Just seen destiny 2 lightfall on the pre order page for £80 ... Absolutely ridiculous

Forspoken,ff16,possibly Judas all look good.

The DLC for horizon and cb2077. I've played both those game to completion twice already ...
DLC is seldom a good idea .

I would say diablo 4 but rumours are it's online only ? They can get stuffed if that's the case..

@Would_you_kindly u wot m8!?!

That has to be for deluxe edition with a load of season passes included.... right?

The sheer amount of stuff going onto my to play list is ridiculous, my poor wallet!

@Would_you_kindly it’s £40 for the standard edition in my app

I’m so happy for DS2 and Jedi Survivor! Can’t wait for both sequels.

@Mintie I could only see destiny 2: lightfall + annual pass for £80 , lightfall on its own is £40 still seems ridiculous to me

What do you think of this year's PS5, PS4 announcements?

Me : YUCK

@Would_you_kindly everything this gen has been £10 too much and its really slowed down my spending and made me much less likely to take a risk... Probably not what the publishers/platform holders intended.

Nothing at all for me.

2023 is still going to be pretty good, though.

Didn’t Forspoken get a demo launch on PS5? I don’t see any articles about it.

@commentlife, loads of articles about it if you google it, but I’ve just checked PSN in the UK and I can’t see it yet

Yeah... My PS5 game list exploded.

Single player story driven games up and down the list. Love it!

I really enjoyed the show last night. Better than recent years. I will add that the show was at a pretty reasonable time for basically all of North, Central, and South America...not just the USA.

There are many countries in the Western hemisphere believe it or not. LoL 😆

Top 3 announcements for me were :

1. Remnant 2
2. Judas
3. HELLBOY: Web Of Wyrd

Super stoked for all 3 of those!

Jedi Survivor
Suicide Squad
Death Stranding 2

A lot of other stuff looked really cool though. And that's without Alan Wake 2, Max Payne, Wolverine, Spider-Man 2 etc.

Even Cyberpunk looked amazing, but every time I load in outside the diner where I left off, it still feels rubbish even with patches :/ maybe one day I'll start a new game instead to relearn it before picking up where I left off after one billion crashes.

Here goes my pesonal round up:

Death Stranding 2: Meh tbh. More curious if Kojima will change the playstyle. Keep the walking-sim extravaganza or lean more towards horror as he´s been recently implying? falling back to classic MGS gameplay? Only certainty is it will have cringe-worthy questionable moments that his fans will defend as "misunderstood", "quirkyness" or "social commentary".

Horizon FW Burning Shores: Would have loved to see gameplay. No opinion really, still haven't played Forbidden West but I had a lot of fun with Zero Dawn and its DLC and this is basically more of the same.

Judas: This one was a big surprise. I was just thinking the other day 'what ever happened to Ken Levine´s narrative legos concept?'
Looks very Bioshock-y but I'm more interested to know about the mechanics. Maybe something in the vein of Arkane's Prey: Mooncrash and Deathloop?
Very much looking forward to this one.

Armored Core VI: Game of the show right here.
New Armored Core by a Post-Souls From Software? SIGN ME UP.

Remnant II + Lords of the Fallen: Both of these looked pretty good and the original games had potential so I'm keeping my eye on these two.

Company of Heroes 3: This was a nice one because I very much wanted to play it but my potato laptop would have exploded if I tried to install it.

Space Marine 2: Not really a WH40K fan and didn't play the original game, but it looked like some nice visceral fun.

Hades 2: This one was a big surprise. Supergiant Games first sequel to their latest (and best). Very very looking forward to this one. (Ok, now: when the sequel to Transistor?!)

Final Fantasy XVI: It's looking insanely good. Not crazy about the j-pop/anime looks that plague every jrpg but the combat and enemy/creature design look superb.

Diablo IV: I should be more excited about this one. Going to need to hype myself up on youtube I guess.

Star Wars: Jedi Survivor: Not a Star Wars fan, won't get it. Now that we got that out of the way, it looked pretty good so for any fans this looks like a day one.

Suicide Squad: Another meh. You've done it, entertainment industry, you've milked Harley Quinn dry. Move along now.

Street Fighter VI + Tekken 8: As a superficial fighting fan both of these look like good fun.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty: Still a question mark for me. Will they add more RPG gameplay and fidelity to the open world or is it still more pretty-looking window dressing? The casting of Idris Elba makes me wary CDPR is leaning towards the latter.

Crash Team Rumble: Why not Crash Team Racing 2?

Hellboy Web of Wyrd: Big fan of the mignolaverse so I'm looking forward to seeing more of this one.

Atomic Heart: Looks like one of those quiet games that comes out of nowhere to become a sleeper hit.

Banishers: Need to see more to form an opinion. Looks interesting.

I'm officially on the FF16 hype train!

I was hoping kojma would make fresh new ips each time, to see his creative side but I guess we just get another sequel, Such a shame.

All I can hear is my wallet crying next year

@Would_you_kindly Are British?

@cburg are you asking if I'm British ? , Yeah I'm from England
