I'm all about Jet Set Radio of course, but the Shinobi game actually looks super dope too with the hand drawn graphics? E: also lmao https://twitter.com/Wario64/status/1733131786291642627?s=20 Waffleman_ fucked around with this message at 15:31 on Dec 8, 2023 |

What on earth? I missed the whole awards show but that is wild. OK. Gotta keep my ignorance of trailers going because that is a lovely surprise.

Also, apparently a few games won awards, but nobody really seemed to care.

The only thing I know about this aspect is that Spider-Man 2 got nominated for a bunch of awards and won none of them which is considered an upset despite the fact it was competing with Baldur's Gate 3, Resident Evil 4 Remake, a new Mario and Zelda, a good new Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, a numbered Final Fantasy, and apparently Alan Wake 2 being the return of the Messiah.

The Game Awards is still mad that they let Christopher Judge talk for nearly 8 minutes last year So they set the play-off timer to 30 seconds to troll him (admittedly this was pretty funny) but then forgot to raise it back to normal for everyone else

We've had a great modern iteration on the 2D SoR formula, I'm fine with them trying something different.

considering SOR4 was outsourced i feel like JGR, Golden Axe, etc, will be outsourced as well (much like Konami has done with games like Ghosts & Goblins). which could be fine if they choose the right studios

AW2 came from the top rope with a folding chair, it was one of those titles like BG3 that turned out to be an absolute masterclass that overshadowed the safer, more conventional properties on display games like TotK, spider-man 2, and wonder are all good games, but they're also more-or-less exactly what you were expecting to get. AW2 is the kind of game you rarely see where its artistic vision is singularly powerful and weird enough to grip your brain by the lapels and never let it go

New FF16 DLC kicked rear end, absolute top tier boss fight. It moves like an Armored Core boss while blasting out a bazillion tons of magic bullshit, it rules.

I saw former bioware devs made some game but the name bioware has become so tainted to me I didn't even check out the trailer. Just gonna wait and see if it comes back up as really good or really bad.

I'm tentatively interested. I miss that kind of game. e: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsCvugLI61I for better or worse, Drew Karpyshyn is involved.

drat went from debating whether or not I wanted to do the main Cyberpunk quest or skip directly to Phantom Liberty to sinking 104 hours into it and seeing all the major endings. Definitely worth the $10 I paid for it in 2021.

The game that even die-hard COD fans are saying is bad and when given the opportunity to either discuss problems in development or just say nothing the director said "No this is exactly what we wanted the game to be"
