I turned off as soon as I saw Luke Stephens, can't stand him.

Makes a bit of sense, Sony will go all out on marketing plus they won't want to release any of their games close to it.

I mean Sony could have a lot of money out themed plates back at the PS5 launch and they didn't so what makes people think they would do it now for the Pro?

@awp69 For me the guy is a complete joke yet websites still believe his info is more valid than the random "insiders" who always get it wrong.

@graymamba Same here mate, good times.

"Stop you big meanies, we've poured billions into AI at the expense of our hard working but still very disposable workforce. So please stop calling it slop, it's very hurtful to my ears when I'm out on my super yacht."

Everything was such a strange game yet I was compelled enough to get the platinum about 6 years ago.

I think I voted for:
Wolverine
Cairn
Marvel Tokon
Tomb Raider
Saros

I didn't vote for GTA because I don't think it'll come this year.

I think if this exists than I think it could be a standalone expansion so they can get some experience on Unreal Engine 5.

Considering the amount of good games that didn't make the top ten, shows that it was a good year.

@Marquez And a bit of Mexico too. America never comes into it which is ironic considering his opinion.

@TheArt While true that Rockstar has earned those privileges they are still a law onto themselves.

@dskatter The GTA comparison isn't a fair one because they will have a budget reaching $500m and they can afford to take as long as they want. Those are luxuries that no other studio or publisher can afford.

I think it's best to delay for the handheld their making because I want it to be powerful enough to play PS5 games but ideally have a decent battery cos I still think that's where companies skimp on cost.

@SleepyNick There's more to GoY than just the open world.

@Stevemalkpus It's almost as if people have different opinions. I mean I'd rather play Sonic Crosswords than Silksong.

@SeaDaVie After seeing their top ten, I don't think anyone can accuse Push Square of being overly biased.

@Uromastryx You said it got "exciting" yesterday.

It's actually refreshing to see a game like Hell Is Us pop up.

As I've always said, the most important GOTY award is your own.

Can't wait for Naughty Dog's gritty retelling where Charlie Brown travels across America with Snoopy in his quest to win a ball game.

I think Push Square should do there own awards, I mean how hard can it be?

Does Jason (I block everyone on Twitter who has a different opinion) Schreier write about anything other than studio crunch? If he thinks it's bad at ND he wants to look at Japan and especially China.

Starfield is the ultimate example of Phil Spencer's hubris. He acted all coy in interviews when it came to exclusivity (case by case) and other such BS. But we all know what he really wanted was to outspend the competition, keep all the IPs they bought for themselves, dump them all on Game Pass and change consumer's buying habits forever.
And now one Activision purchase later his platform has seen hardware rapidly decline, game pass price increases while the sub base has stagnated and not one of their games had looked like a GOTY contender.
It's a wonder how he's still in the job.

When it comes to awards for best "indie" game it should be games that are self published. Because they self financed everything so you can't get more independent than that.

It's not surprising we're getting to the point now where all the people who started up these old studios are looking to retire either because they feel they've done all they can or there's no way further up the corporate ladder.

Love the Mariah Carey/Dave the diver one.

That probably explains why Saros was pushed back. Sony not wanting to stack their releases so close to each other.

I'm glad to see the more sassy Lara back. The survivor trilogy was great in it's own way but going back to it's roots makes it feel fresh again.

It was a very "now in development and we're recruiting" trailer so we'll see. If it has good producers and management then yeah I can see it coming out before then.

@Zaczumba Total Warhammer was their game I think.

Felt the reveals was very lacking, especially the last game, Tomb Raider, Control or Divinity would have been more fitting for that position.

@HonestHick I keep an open mind on any game till it comes out.

I love how these creators leave a studio they've been with for years, only to basically go and make what the same things they were known for.

Control's good but I'm more excited for their Max Payne remakes.

@HonestHick I'm referring to @oram77 first comment but then you got all judgemental. If you didn't want so called "defenders" come after you then maybe stop judging a game before it's even come out.

Tbh I'm a bit disappointed that there going back to Divinity, was hoping they'd make a new IP.

@PuppetMaster I agree about the parroting but I do feel some of the views are valid. Still it's a long way out so plenty of time to tweak things.

@Fighting_Game_Loser This is my thought as well.

Right now Tokon needs a bit more time, quite a lot in the community aren't happy with the gameplay. Auto combos are too good, defensive mechanics are a bit undercooked, tagging doesn't give much reward like the game doesn't know if it wants to be a 4v4 or 1v1.

It's so bitterly disappointing that the remake didn't do well enough because it was so good.

Though, according to Dusk Golem, what was being worked on at Deviation Games hasn't been turned into something else; it's now died completely as a "full-on cancelled game".
So that would imply that Dark Outlaw Games (which is made up of a fair amount of the talent that were at Deviation) isn't making something similar.

I just hope Sony don't skimp on battery because it's been getting out of hand with gaming devices. 2 hours battery for a handheld is unacceptable, at that point your just watching a percentage counting down rather than gaming.

@Boxmonkey There will be more then you think. The sports games for a start.

Would love for mod support for consoles to come. Just like with Witcher 3.

Unfortunately this is going to be a common occurrence going forward.

@DennisReynolds I can hazard a guess.
GoW = Angrboda is black
TLOU = Ellie is gay plus trans character
Spider-Man = side quest involving a gay character
Ghost of Yotei = Female lead and the actress's politics.
Not my opinions of course.

I can understand the comment about lack of new IP but we need to remember what the PS4 era established. Horizon, Death Stranding and Ghost of Tsushima were completely new IPs so they were always getting sequels. While God of War and Spider-Man were new continuities so pretty much a same situation.
I also don't get this "more of the same" or "glorified DLC" argument, all those games were well received so the studios were hardly going to fix what wasn't broken.

Played Lego Horizon last year. It was fine but I found that it got repetitive very quickly.

I liked Lies of P but I hope their next game (Wishes of D or whatever they call it) the story has more a direct connection to its source martial. There was so much in Lies of P's story that had almost nothing to do with Pinocchio that it might as well have been an original story.

@ShadowRJ I would also add that most of those unlockables were just palette swaps of the base roster.
