Question. I really liked Remake except the final boss run was exhausting and took too long. I'm guessing Rebirth has the same (no spoilers) and the last boss sequence is like 2 hours long?

I mean, it's like that, long...but it's not the retarded chore that was FFVIIRemake with the Whispers and the Eons and Baha and Sephiroth and Cloud's mother in a wheelchair holding the kitchen sink...

It's lots of good in-engine cutscenes paired with a bit of combat. Like the other poster said, FFVIIRebirth combat system and combat loop is much faster, responsive and refined(and FLASHY!) than FFVIIRemake, and they balanced the final boss run much tighter in Rebirth.

Rebirth, Astro Bot and Metaphor do seem like the 3 games which will have most of the awards locked down this year.

Personally, I preferred Rebirth. Not perfect, but it's size, scope and ambition is on another level.

It's been such a strong year for JRPG's that I feel games like Infinite Wealth will miss out on a lot of nominations just because Keighley won't want to over-saturate the entire show with games from the same genre.

No fucking way Veilguard should be put in the same ballpark as Astro Bot and FFVII Rebirth.

 

[Last Hearth]

I think a lot of gaffers believe Veilguard is going to be game of the year. But not for the right reasons.

Even by their standards, this game has a metacritic rating of 83, that’s hardly GOTY material.

Don't care which game wins their GOTY, it won't make me view any of them as less shit nor any of the ones I like as less good.

Great games this year

Final Fantasy Rebirth
Stellar Blade
Space Marine 2
Wukong
Granblue Fantasy Relink
The First Descendant
Clocktower Rewind
Romancing Saga
Iron Meat


Space Marine 2 is the best one in my opinion. A awesome badass campaign and a nice multiplayer mode both pve and pvp.

 

[Badlucktroll]

Lord willing, the great Silent Hill 2 shall become GOTY

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

[FoxMcChief]

no stellar blade lol

It seemed like most people enjoyed it, but couldn’t finish it with one hand.

 

[StueyDuck]

I can only see rebirth being the big AAA winner. Everything else has been meh

Real winners should be astro or animal well though

 

[ZiggyPop1991]

It should be Astro Bot hands down. I haven't beaten the game because Ive been 100% everything. But mainly because I just stop and drool at all the little things. The controls. The maps. The dual sense. The Easter eggs. The graphics. A neatly tight packaged game thats already getting free dlc. Just like It Takes Two. This better sweep the awards.

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

no stellar blade lol

It's a very liked game with it's high review count and ratings from PSN and it was top 3 most voted goty in the IGN poll where around half a million register posters voted.

The first few months of 2024 have had some big hits already. What's your favorite so far?

1. Wukong

3. Stellar Blade
4. Space Marine 2

Sure the game got attractive characters like Eve, Tachy, Raven etc. But the game itself is actually great and fun. Great enemy designs, music, and a somewhat interesting setting. It's not just another pretty face since there's plenty of games on Steam that only has sexy characters but could never get any high count because those games were unfun. Stellar Blade sold well and receive well and looks alone is by far not the only reason as the haters want you to think.

Space Marine 2 is my GOTY though.

I wish, but it'll probably be Astro Bot. No matter how good horror games are, they don't win GOTY.

 

[Bernardougf]

Well... the press who gives this awards definitely are the modern audience.

 

[Superkewl]

got a feeling it will be dragon age. Not that it deserves it at all, but suspect things are going to get more divisive in general if the orange man wins the election, and they will use the game to push agendas.

 

[Shakka43]

Silent Hill 2 became a strong contender for me, it being a remake and very similar story-wise to the original(unlike RE4R for example) knocks it a little below Astro Bot for my GOTY vote.

Stellar Blade might not get any nominations but it ranks at the top of my favorites this year.

 

[Cakeboxer]

I would have said Astro Bots a few days ago, but since i got my Quest 3 on Tuesday i have to say Batman is fucking great and takes the medium to another level. Unfortunately i don't think a vr game will even get a nomination.

 

[Dokku]

Metaphor. Period. Close the nominations.

 

[Badlucktroll]

I am proud Konami came back and with a GOTY candidate
