1st BG3
2nd Spiderman 2
3rd Zelda

PhillyDonJawn204d ago

A DLC is not winning GOTY replace it with starfield

anast204d ago (Edited 204d ago )

Zelda is a full length copy-paste job, yes, but it is not a DLC. Anyway, I said it was 3rd place.

PhillyDonJawn204d ago

I see what you did there lol

Rimeskeem204d ago

Starfield is not GOTY material.

BG3
Spiderman 2
Zelda
RE4
Alan Wake 2
Street Fighter 6
Mario Wonder

^ these are well-made games that exceed what they are trying to do.

204d ago
Armaggedon204d ago (Edited 204d ago )

I would say it is GOTY material. Most people don’t even know what Starfield even is trying to do.

Sonic1881203d ago (Edited 203d ago )

Starfield won't even make the list 😂 I can almost guarantee that. I would choose Hogwarts Legacy and Final Fantasy 16 over Starfield

Antnee534204d ago

Honestly the only game that should win that title this year is baldurs gate 3

Plague-Doctor27204d ago

The competition should really be so we know who won 2nd place. BG3 is so far above anything else I played this year

Flawlessmic204d ago (Edited 204d ago )

Agreed dude, BG3 should win and i dont think its even close to be honest. and in a year full of great games that saying something.

the 6 i think that deserve to be up for it are:

BG3
Spider Man 2
Alan Wake 2
Zelda TOTK
Hogwarts
FF16 - the highs of this game, my lord!! flawed but seeing and fightin summons that i grew up with at this scale and in the way it was done was bloody awesome and makes my top 6

i wont include remakes but other honourable mentions that i enjoyed this year are SM wonder, Starfield, hi fi rush, SF6, Diablo 4, Jedi survivor

-Foxtrot204d ago

Exactly

It’s something new and different from the rest where the quality speaks for its self

Ezio2048204d ago

BG3 is 100% winning this and the most gotys this year.
2nd will be ToTK
3rd either Spider man 2 or Alan Wake 2

MrNinosan204d ago

My guess is:
1. BG3
2. TotK
3. Spider-Man 2

Most Awards, either FFXVI or Spider-Man 2.

--Onilink--204d ago

What awards would you give to FF16 for it to have “most awards” though? Dont get me wrong I quite liked the game, but practically every single category I can think of there was a better game this year than FF16

Action? Spiderman or HiFi Rush
RPG? BG3 (and personally I also prefer Sea of Stars, such a good RPG)
Story? Alan Wake
Music? HiFi Rush or Alan Wake 2 (though FF16 was quite good too)

And as general GOTY, I cant really see it win that many awards when there were several games this year that overall were just better

MrNinosan204d ago

The categories I think it has a chance in is following:

Best score and music - big chance
Best art direction - medium chance
Best narrative - big chance
Best performance - big chance
Best action/adventure - big chance
Best audio design - medium chance
Annovation in accessibility - big chance (but SM2 will win)

anast203d ago

I could see either Spider-Man 2 of TotK in 2nd.

This is bad for them as we know they were already in marvel hell with there schedule but now they are never getting out with these sales.

Some poor sob over there is like hey can we do infamous remaster collection? then gets yelled at thrown to a desk made to work on spiderman 3 or some shit for the the next 3 years.

This also gave sweet baby inc more support they helped with the sotry and she hulk aka marry jane so why not make the next spiderman game with gwen but her powers only work after she attends lgbqt rallies fear the power of queer right's bad guys.

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Just had a thought make a new super hero with the power of rainbows that come out of the wrist jerk of men to supercharge the attack.

Abnor_Mal2d ago

Just making up bullsht off the top of yer head huh?

andy852d ago (Edited 2d ago )

"These sales" like it's a tiny number? It's sold what Spiderman 1 did on the PS4 in the same timeframe and that was labelled a huge success and there was 100 million PS4s out there at that time...compared to 50m PS5. Selling the same amount is nothing short of amazing. What a strange post

just_looken2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Wow sound the trumpit defend them asap right?

I know 2023 was along time ago but there was a ransomware attack remember?
https://www.polygon.com/240...

So yeah they are marvel game maker slaves

"these sales" means these sales there could have been a slight tiny glimmer of hope they might make something else instead of another spiderman game with the same combat same map same dei story but nope they are now defiantly going to make another one.

and yes sweetbabyinc helped with the story/characters
https://sweetbabyinc.com/

But i get it everyone loves the nerfed bitch version of parker sense very few played/watched anything before the Spectacular days were over.

P_Bomb2d ago

“…make a new super hero with the power of rainbows that come out of the wrist jerk of men to supercharge the attack.”

Wow! Anyways…

S2Killinit2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

@Just_lookin

LOL

What did I just read? This news is hitting you hard. I just wish I could watch your face as you typed your homophobic rant. Also, maybe an English class would be time well spent.

On Topic:
Congrats to Insomniac.

Hofstaderman2d ago

House of Mouse be looking at that upcoming Blade game with certain expectations.....

romulus232d ago

If we look past the fact you're just making up a bunch of BS, we can see very clearly your comment is immature and reeks of insecurities. It's pure trolling and adds nothing to the conversation so just give it a rest.

VersusDMC2d ago

Why would insomniac want to do a infamous remaster collection if Sucker Punch are the original developers?

just_looken2d ago

A round of applause for everyone here

I give links i speak the truth but of course defend defend defend

I know they did not make infamous but all this team has done is the same dam ip except one great ratchet/clank game that we will never get a squeal or any dlc

But i get it you all want spiderman every year then a half ass marvel mobile game every 2nd year.

Again any real spiderman fan knows how muich they changed the charecter/lore/powers for the modern audiance if this was the real spiderman he would have radioactive blood like until the mid 2013's and kill marry jane.

Amn the next game from this "studio" is going to have so many dei / microtrancactions in it oof

Philaroni2d ago

Is that you Obsucre? Assuber?

outsider16242d ago

@just looken

Yeah i want another spiderman. So???

If rocksteady can make 3 Batman games. Sucker punch with 3 infamous,

Why can't Insomniac have 3 Spiderman games.

Thank God you're the minority.

mkis0072d ago

Acting like dev's aren't tied to a franchise for a while. Gears for Coalition, Halo for 343, Turn 10 has forza, playground has forza... Insomniac making 3 Spiderman games so far (with a ratchet in between fyi) doesn't even register as enough let alone too many. They are making the games they want to. It was not forced upon them.

Why would they want out of this success? Most devs would do anything for sales like this. Do you not have pride in the work you do?

MrDead2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

"This also gave sweet baby inc more support they helped with the sotry and she hulk aka marry jane so why not make the next spiderman game with gwen but her powers only work after she attends lgbqt rallies fear the power of queer right's bad guys."

Crazy right-wing snowflakes like Tim Pool have broken you with outrage media and "fear of the other". Tater Tots need to go outside and live in the real world, don't be scared... unless you're just projecting and this is some sort of Steven Crowder or Nick Fuentes situation, it's ok to be confused about you're attraction to the same sex, just go with it and you'll find you will be a happier person.

BlackOni1d 22h ago

This is the most incel fake outrage sad shit I've seen all morning.

Congrats to making yourself look like an absolute tool while inexcusably and unnecessarily attacking the LGBTQ community.

On topic, congrats to Insomniac. Amazing game, amazing experience, and makes me hopeful for the new Wolverine Game. Would love to also see a Storm or Captain Marvel game.

Michiel19891d 17h ago

why the hell would insomniac work on an infamous remaster collection? They are one of the most talented studios in the world and you want them to do remasters?

Nacho_Z1d 14h ago

I've noticed talking complete nonsense is normal for you but you've outdone yourself here.

@mike
3 spider man games. Did they redo those too?

rlow12d ago

With a game called Spider-Man and made by Insomniac………..is anyone really surprised??? Congrats to them on their continued excellence in game crafting.

1Victor2d ago

Congrats to insomniac on another hit showing proof that it was a right move to be acquired by Sony unlike others developers getting closed or afraid of going on the chopping block.

gleepot2d ago

My dude, insomniac was already hit with layoffs.

I wonder how Wolverine will do once released?

Hofstaderman2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Ummmm....maybe even better? We guaranteed a decent Wolverine game and with the success of Xmen 94 the franchise has now entrenched itself with a younger audience. My kids stopped watching 94 and went back to the OG series and they love it.

DarXyde2d ago

Not as well as Spider-Man, I would think. I think it still does great, but based on the footage we weren't supposed to see yet, Spider-Man seems more accessible (not to disregard he's also just more popular than Logan).

But who knows? If the game drops in close enough proximity to Deadpool and Wolverine and/or a new season of X-Men '97, we could be surprised.

Cacabunga1d 23h ago

Wolverine will be a much more mature game.. also popularity wise spiderman is bigger.
On the other hand it might attract players who do not like spiderman kind of super heroes.

I enjoyed xmen origins Wolverine on PS3 very much it had great gameplay!

MagUk1d 20h ago

To be honest I brought the original spider man. While the game play mechanics were excellent and very enjoyable I was put off by how childish the story felt, I probably only played it for a couple of hours at most before it got way too cringy for me.

ChasterMies1d 18h ago

Spider-man makes more money from licensing than any other comic book character. So don’t expect Wolverine to sell as well.

Cacabunga1d 15h ago (Edited 1d 15h ago )

Wolverine will target a completely different audience

Baldur's Gate 3's Side Quest Design is its Secret Weapon

With a game like Baldur's Gate 3, a number of factors make it successful—but perhaps none are as powerful as its side quest design.

Article makes a great point and I agree with it but is spoiler heavy. It should be marked. If you haven’t played through the game be warned as it even spoils parts of act 3.

Dirty_Lemons5d ago

Thanks for this dude, I am very interested in playing when I have time and am trying to avoid spoilers.

dakarli1d 14h ago

This game rocks, everything is quality, and I love the cutscenes, which remind me of Dragon Age Origin.

Baldur's Gate 3 PS5 Physical Deluxe Editions Delayed Due to Production Issues

While we were so hoping to not have to update owners of the console physical Deluxe Edition with any further news of delay, we’ve now run into more production issues which means that players who pre-ordered their PS5 North America copy that was expected to ship later this month, will now have to wait until July before they can get their hands on them.

shinoff21837d ago

Got that email like 2 weeks ago. Tbh I'm not tripping. I understand sht happens. I'm just glad they changed their minds on the physical release

Popsicle7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

I with you. I got the email is well. Happy to eventually own a physical copy and glad it’s not digital only.
