Only interested in the top 2 assuming GTA 6 does actually release this which is still not a guarantee.

GTA III & IV are my favorites in the series and I have been begging for a remaster of 4 but I wouldn't want to experience Liberty City like this being just a cheap mod for GTA V (which is my least favorite).

Why ruin your entire career (will probably be blacklisted by all studios) by showing off a useless low-res photo that doesn't even reveal anything unless you didn't know Lucia had a big butt 🤦🏼‍♀️

@silversteel91 I'm still haunted by that chilly day where Hermen Hulst put a rifle in my mouth and told me "buy the PS5 pro or I'll give this store a new red paint job". I took my credit card out and reluctantly bought it, every time I look at the PS5 Pro on my stand I have horrible nightmares 😔

@MrGawain Astro Bot is nothing like Mario Galaxy, they are both platformers which is where the similarities end. You came from Nintendo Life to make a fool of yourself here, when you have played both like many of us then you can talk 🙂

I wanted to experience the story mode of SS (regarding of quality) but didn't want to spend money on it, now I'll get to play it free and offline so I don't have to engage in it's live service.

I didn't expect it to be that good, took me back to my N64 days when I use to smile more while I was playing games. Congrats Astro Bot, Team Asobi and the spirit of Japan Studio!

@Mincey0 "Yet somehow marketing suggested its some game of the year contender"

You should probably replace contender with winner! (Multiple awards so far) 🙂

Are you really implying that the 94 metacritic with the 9.2 user reviews are just publications and players falling for some genius Sony marketing? Why didn't Sony deploy this incredible super marketing with Concord?

I'm guessing if they didn't attach Naughty Dog to their post we wouldn't be talking about this, some groups have made ND their Antichrist since TLOU2🤦🏼‍♀️

It's a very nice looking list! I loved your 1 & 5 and I might have to try Infinity Nikki as it looks excellent.

@Fritz167 If it makes you feel better it would probably be 11# if they extended their goty by one 🤷🏼‍♀️ There were many great to good games this year, it's crazy that next year's selection will probably blow this one out the water

@B0udoir "people forged an opinion by playing just a couple of hours but never spent the 120 hours to complete the story"

I have 650+ hours clocked between Persona 5 the original release, Royal and the PS5 remaster. The game for me is perfect 🙂 If I could change something I would change nothing! most people fall into this category if you see the reviews, user reviews and awards it earned.

It didn't click with you which is fine we all have that one game we hate that everyone loves, mine is GOW Ragnarok. I was so bored playing through that I wondered if I was mentally ill. It happens 🤷🏼‍♀️

It was my second favorite game this year only behind Astro Bot, I loved everything from the music to the fighting and all the characters!

Could they have given her a bit more personality? Sure! she did remind me of Aloy in Forbidden West, it still didn't take away anything from the entire experience. I'm ready for part 2 💪🏼

@Mattock1987 " I have a sinking feeling you’ve got Black Mid Wukong in the top 3"

Your sinking feeling is wrong then 🙂 it probably didn't make the top 10, the only person I've seen mention Wukong from the staff is Robert who reviewed it and it didn't even make his top 5.

@Icey664 Stellar Blade is probably no 4 but I definitely wouldn't cry if it did goty, it was an excellent very polished action game which was sadly overlooked because it came out earlier in the year😁

I'm surprised the sites fighting game expert didn't put any fighting games in his top 5 (like Tekken 8)! It's a great list I will play Metaphor next year to see what's all the noise about.

@scoobdoo "Imagine thinking the 5-minute wonder that is Astro Bot is better."

Not even Astro's Playroom is 5 minutes what game did you play? lol Astro Bot is about 18-20 hours if you experience everything the game has (I clocked 28 hours). I know you were trolling but I was lonely so I felt like responding to someone about anything 🙂

I thought this would have been at least 2# as this site usually goes hard for anything Final Fantasy related, pretty shocking to be 7! 😯

@Kira_Moonvalley "Am i the only one who loved Astro's Playroom and was massively let down by Astro Bot?"

Pretty much 🤷 although there's one other person here that hates it because it wasn't in VR. Playroom was clearly a short tech demo (a very good one) and Astro Bot was a full game experience.

It's almost like playing the Prologue Demo of Metaphor: ReFantazio then playing the full game and being "I think I liked the demo better". It's not a 1:1 comparison but you get what I'm trying to say, Astro Bot was the final form of Playroom.

For me is also Stellar Blade, despite already platinum it already I'm going for a fourth playthrough. The action combined with the music (and lots of costumes!) it feels so relaxing playing it.

Buying this studio was a bigger blunder than Concord (or close enough), an absolute headache for Sony whichever way you look without having anything good to show for the troubles.

Absolutely hated the first one, I have never been so bored playing a video game. I saw that 2 is more of the same but prettier, that said I want it to come for the people that liked the first one and only game on PlayStation.

@Cloud39472 Well she is a new character and based on the user scores of Stellar Blade most people loved her too. Now if the award was instead best new personality then maybe you would have a point 🤷

This was going to be the reaction regardless of what Naughty Dog showed, it could have been a fusion dance of Black Myth and Elden Ring and the reaction would have been "nice try unoriginal Neil Cuckmann the game will still suck lolol Cuckmann get it 🤣" 😒

My dudes your game was fortunate to be nominated for goty, your 81% metacritic score is a historic low for being in that category. Stellar Blade has that same 81% (and much higher user score) and that couldn't win a cup of coffee.

How ungrateful that you went home with two awards and that was still a waste of your time when any other company would have been filled with joy just being invited there 😐

@RudeHero As having played both games fully (unlike you) there's not a single point in Astro Bot where I stopped everything and said "omg this is just like Mario Galaxy!" 😒

You really think if Astro Bot had plagiarize anything that Nintendo wouldn't have swam Team ASOBI studios with a swat team full of lawyers? If it bothers you reading about Astro Bot is perhaps beter that you stay in Nintendo Life!

Astro Bot my personal goty but Stellar Blade is a close second, I can't believe it wasn't nominated for anything 😐

Easily the biggest disappointment of the night (if is only Sonic characters), instead of making a sequel to the beloved All-star Racing & Transformed games they want to follow up the terrible Team Sonic Racing!?

"You can already feel the budget oozing out of the screen for this one"

Yup it's the first thing I noticed, polished to the most minimal pixel. Some might not like some of their most recent writing (not me though) but I don't think anyone can say they are not packed to the brim with talent.

Of course Capcom showed up with it's A game, they have been unstoppable since the PS4 era began (after a very mixed PS3 era)

No disagreements here, no other game has made me smile more while playing than Astro Bot. Can't wait to see how they follow this up!

@ApostateMage I'm kind of curious what you were posting like before Cyberpunk was ever announced, what was your previous obsession? 😁

I also join in the sentiment that most Fromsoft games should remain multiplat with only games like Bloodborne 2 (which comes out right after a Bloodborne remaster lol) and Demon's souls 2 being exclusives.

Ghost of Yotei is the only day one for me, actually is the only one from that list that interest me. I really hope we get a few surprises next year, I'm very curious about what Bluepoint is working on.

@dskatter "I don’t think anyone from the Arkham days are left there, sadly."

Most of the ground floor developers should still be there, it was just Hill and Walker that left and I remind you they steered the Titanic (SS) more than half way through. They only jumped from the ship when they saw the iceberg 🤷

"Any game releasing in close proximity will almost certainly have its sales affected"

That's not counting the press and buzz that GTA 6 will command, any game released close enough to it will have to sell itself with essentially zero coverage. I wouldn't even bother putting money on marketing said game as no one will be looking.

@naruball The most played games in the world are f2p, people just don't want Sony's attempt at trying to hit it big. They have one Success with three flops so far them being Destruction AllStars, Concord and Fairgame$ (you can feel it will be on this list 🙃)

Well hurry up with it Sony! I've been dying to upgrade from my PS Vita which I still use to this day, I want to stay in the PlayStation ecosystem which is why I haven't bother with other portables.

Twitter/X is a cesspool of the very worst humanity has to offer, you see the worst of the right and the left battle it out. I only use Youtube & Tik Tok but I hope whatever this new platform is succeeds 👍

@z0d15g0d "Can people stop with the horizon cultism please."

You new here? you will not find a site where users are more negative towards the Horizon franchise than this one, I'm including myself in that wave of negativity.

@nessisonett "Hahahahahahaha enjoy your £700-£800 beta for the PS6"

Pretty sure they are enjoying their systems, at the end of the day it's a PS5 so they get to enjoy the same games you're enjoying (the majority in better quality with 1-2 exceptions temporarily till they get patched again).

@KundaliniRising333 It's absolutely on the devs, who else would it be on? There have been incredible implementations of PSSR where it exceeds a native 4K image like in Stellar Blade and Forbidden West. So yes it's on the devs 🙂 (plus Ubisoft probably didn't give them enough time).

@Judal27 Yup I've see these comparison vids too and they are trying really hard out there. Like they claim Astro Bot in the Japanese level going big is copying Mario. I had no idea Nintendo invented going small to big in a game 😅

Looks like they want to sell no matter what so yeah I would prefer Sony over the others. Fromsoft is a bonus in the deal although I'm sure their games would stay multiplatform.

That's great news! MK1 in some ways felt like a step down from MK11 which itself was a step down from MKX. It needs to go back to being dark and gritty, make it so that in a way we feel like we're playing a horror game (again like MKX).

It will probably pass it and that's fine records are meant to be broken. That said it's time for a new Switch asap, I tried playing the other day on my giant TV and the games basically look like PS2 games to me 🤷

Give me a portable machine that can play my entire PS4/PS5 catalog (that I don't have to repurchase) with streaming for PS6 and I'll happily pay that $500-$600. They add in PS1/PS2/PS3 support and I can go up to $700!

@ChimpMasta "It’s simply not possible to create current gen performance in a handheld due to power and heat dissipation."

You can currently play PC versions of Forbidden West, Black Myth, Ragnarok and many more on Steam Deck. Those are current gen games running natively on a portable, why can't Sony do something similar with their portable?

A remastered collection with all the GOW up to Ascension sounds lovely! what wouldn't be lovely is a crappy show or a crappy Lego 🙁

It's a bottom of the barrel Lego game, no one was taking time off from work to play it. I'm surprised it's even that high, most people have already forgotten it even exists.
