Oblivion remastered was put out long enough ago to make this list. It populates this list right now and still hasn't been patched, therefore is still a broken mess. So I ask, why is it on this list???

Borderlands 4 too. The game shipped with a memory leak months ago that still isn't patched. hahaha

The GA's need to start 2 new categories for awards "least broken mess at release" award. And "most broken release" award.

BF6 getting sound design award was great to see. When you are playing multiplayer and a rocket flies by your head, into a building and said building crumbles to the ground, the sound is stunning.

@StylesT well said, and I obv agree 100%. Again, the art direction and atmosphere I thought were fantastic. It was a great game, but not generational as we already stated. I excluded this point from my last post because it was getting too long, so I'll add this here.

I think it was also opportunistic this year. Death Stranding 2 on every level was a superior game. If that was not a sequel and was the 1st entry in the DS universe, then we might be having a different conversation. Because as epic as DS2 was, most people who loved it still admit it was a pretty safe sequel and just more DS. Which was an awesome thing, but still.

Yotei to me is far superior to 33 as well. But Yotei is also a very safe sequel as epic as it is. So safe that it didnt even get nominated for GOTY. Silksong, great game but just more HK. Donkey kong? Idk how it made the list over Yotei. But its nintendo and they get glazed hard and everyone needs to throw them a bone because they take 10yrs in between their samey exclusives. whatever......

Also, we live in the day and age that everyone needs to glaze stuff they like, esp in gaming. And esp in gaming where the team who built an epic game is small in scale. They have to love that game above and beyond because they love the studio. Same reason ARC raiders gets so freakin glazed online, it's sickening.

@Toot1st "millions" is a minority in all of gaming. Everywhere you look, podcasts, gaming sites, comment sections, the consensus is that ending the show on this Dogmeat was just lame. Grade A lame. So, proofs in the pudding.

@DennisReynolds Its disgusting isn't it? Some of the animations with a couple of the characters look straight up ripped off out of Overwatch too. A once a year show, ended with a free to play hero shooter lol. Can't make this stuff up. only in 2025

@Starkei Not sure what you mean but if you are implying that we have too many Asian themed games in general, esp samurai games/swordplay games, then I'm with you 100%

The first one was up there with Lies of P as one of the best non-fromsoft soulslikes. I'm so ready for this game

The crazy part about 33 cleaning house this year is, it is def a great game. Esp the atmosphere, aesthetic and performances. Is it a generational game that should def crap all over everything else at the awards? Not even close.

@captainsandman im with you. I tried BG3 through g'fly and that turned based combat style just isn't for me. I despise it. Seems like a great RPG too. Its ashame.

@J2theEzzo no. that style gameplay just isn't for me. I like action RPG's only. No turned based/point and click for me. I recognize they are great games for the people who like them. And i hope this new one turns out good for you all. But I despise that form of combat.

@Dan12836666 That was Keighley's way of reminding us to not get used to a game on the level of Intergalactic closing out the show every year. This year ND was followed up by another Hero shooter we don't need to close the show of all times. lmao lame

IO interactive game. Not exactly a top tier AAA dev. We knew this was coming, like we needed to waste time with Lenny Kravitz on this game. Too much time wasted on stuff already announced. And no real banger. Free to play hero shooter ends the show???? lame

They end the show last year with Intergalactic, a banger of epic proportions. But this year, a free to play pvp stylized hero shooter??? Like we need another one of those. After we had to sit through that cringey Street fighter movie rubbish, listening to that gang banter back and forth like we give a F what they have to say. Just announce the award and move on.

@themaladroit agreed control looks fantastic, but we knew remedy has been hammering away on that game for ages. The world premieres were just weak. Also, everything is in Space or Asian themed samurai/sword play. Its all getting tired. Esp all the Asian backdrop stuff. Need some new concepts in this industry

@Dan12836666 agreed. the last 2 world premieres were something that could have just been shown in a state of play, nothing epic. And why did they have to spend so much time on the BS street fighter movie and all the banter between that whole crew before they can even announce the winner. Dreadful

@LikelySatan big preshow statue reveal and "guess what?" hype nonsense a week ago and then it turned out to be Divinity and nobody seems to care. lmao

That was kinda lame compared to last year and other years as well. Too much time spent on stuff we already knew about. The final two reveals weren't bangers. The show started in mediocrity and ended in mediocrity

is this gonna have the point and click/turned based gameplay malarky like BG3? I know nothing about the past games. If so, not for me.

Yeah? Nahhhhhh

@BrownOwl you're hilarious. I don't agree with you, so you think I'm getting confused and not understanding. You are not worth my time talking game with on here. See ya

@DennisReynolds ur totally confused

@BrownOwl i was expecting dog meat for both games and thats what we got. Either remake in a modern engine or don't bother

both versions look like dogmeat. its technically impossible for the remaster to be a downgrade on a game that looks like a horses a** to begin with. People love to just complain about every release going these days.

@DennisReynolds ur confused. bye

@DennisReynolds you're confused. bye

Bring killzone back please. The game was fantastic, and Sony needs a FPS. Opportune time right now too since COD is starting to get under even more peoples skins (no pun intended) these days. Killzone multiplayer was great and a nice alternative to BF and COD. Bring Resistance back too while you are at it.

@DennisReynolds ok sorry I'll rephrase my whole post "be a proper remake and don't give us the PS2 graphics slop again. this is 2025. don't be lazy, use a modern engine please."

Yeah, we are on ps5 now. So I was a gen behind inaccurate but it was still slop

be a proper remake and don't give us the ps1 graphics slop again. this is 2025. don't be lazy, use a modern engine please.

@bluemage1989 agreed. we don't have to like them to want to play GTA6. We dont know R* personally, so who cares. Actors, musicians and celebrities in general are mostly unpleasant d***** bags. But we still watch their movies and listen to the tunes

They had the nerve to charge $20 for a DLC that is only 4hrs of content. How much is this skin $5??? Phantom Liberty was only $10 more and was almost enough to fill a whole game, on top of CP2077 being superior in every facet of a video game

@LifeGirl its either that, or alittle bit before the start of a new console gen, for decades now, they show off the new unreal engine version, or some other next gen engine with the captions "actually running on ps3, or ps4, or ps5" and then 5years into next gen the games dont even look close to that fidelity.

Too many people on the internet, with too much time on their hands. Any surprises left for the show? oh wait, they got 2 more days to spoil whatever is left. Internet sleuths need to get a life

How are people not gonna be puking all over the place with this kind of thing in VR? hahaaha "mom look, i can fly!!!!" (retches) barrrffffff!

@Oram77 Yeah its ashame. Unless we can Marty Mcfly back to a time where game journalism wasn't a huge thing and we got surpised on the E3 show floor, or we just go dark with no internet 2 months before the GA's, almost everything will be spoiled for us. This whole thing sucks tbh

Its about time, this game has been cooking for years now. Might even be a 2026 release.

This genre is Niche as it gets. Is it really a big deal ps5 could have had a flight sim earlier?

The statue is going to be an Elder Scrolls lawn prop you can buy to decorate your front yard on Halloween.

The Xbox brand is jinxed. Doesn't matter who the dev is, the legacy you have built. It will take you in and chew you out.

Maybe encourage dev's to try to make an UE5 game that doesn't run like a horses a**

That statue thing might be a new trailer for Crimson Desert. Like we need another trailer for that game, cause the 200 they've made so far during development and between all the delays hasn't been enough.

@LikelySatan Sweet bro. Yeah, as I said, retro/pixel art are usually instant write offs for me. Esp here in almost-2026 when we have games on Decima engine. But the draw with HM was the addictive gameplay. Nothing is cooler then taking out 4 at a time, with a well placed and coordinated window shot

Xbox with only 5% more then no, not the newer swtich 2, but old switch console which is a full gen old at this point. Lmao

Hotline Miami 2!!!! Where have you been all my life??? lol

I know I'll sound like i've been living in a cave here. But I always knew these games existed. I just always write off games with retro/pixel art graphics. They are not my cup of tea. But saw both Hotline games on the BF sale sitting there for $2 a piece. So figured I'd be losing nothing just trying. And I'll tell you both of them are fantastic. Addicting, the music, the gameplay. Solid gold

@JayJ Yes agreed 100%. But its the big budget and long times that give us AAA sony masterpieces. There's so many people laid off in this industry, good people. What I think the fix is, don't stray from what they're doing. Like I said, we get masterpieces. They need to have two teams, so at the least, 2 games are in full production at the same time. Give these laid off people jobs for pete's sake.

There's no reason why ND can't have Intergalactic going in full production and then have a 2nd team either working on TLOU3, starting to piece that together, or whatever they chose to come after Inter. So when the main hands on deck have Inter. content complete, but in the bug fixing/polishing faze, they can bounce over to the next project. That could easily cut 2 years off development time. If we got most AAA every 3years, instead of 5 I would be content with that.

@Pat_trick if all this hoopla turned out to be an ESO expansion, I'll puke in my mouth during the show. If its any kind of DLC or expansion I'll prob still barf

I can't wait for this game, but we've seen enough of this. New IP or reveals of games we know exist but haven't seen yet please.

Is this the game where the guy showed it off at the game awards, was on stage getting all arrogant and cocky about his game here? lol funny how things turn out for people who count the chickens before they are hatched

All hands on deck getting GTA6 out please!!!! lol

I'm not saying that this topic needs to be swept under the carpet and I acknowledge that AI in game development is a huge deal. But now that we are letting the AI topic leak into every article, everywhere, not just here, then IMO we are letting AI win even further.
