Ratchet was really good game but i understand why it wasn't goty over it takes 2

 

Ratchet games are pretty good. I have played them all. 

 

But am done with them, like properly.

 

Sony doesn't put much effort in them like Nintendo does with Mario games.

What did Tales of Arise do that was unique? 

 

Any Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest much better than that.

Lol ROFL, FF might be a good rival but it's a remake, so no new story told, dragon quest was a 2019 game, it's ok not even dragon quest fans regard it that highly.

Tales of arise revamped the entire series, from a traditional JRPG catered to Japanese fans to being bold and risking alienation from series faithful, so as to expand to a modern diverse A-RPG loving audience, it does so well with tropes that make an anime charming while sucking in non anime gamers as well. High risk high reward was their endgame and they did it flawlessly.

P2 was just another dead game rivival, and that too a typical american cartoonish one, the likes of many games shown off at TGA so as to cater to the domestic market. P2 was a case of oh look MS is doing good, look look look. Tales of arise is leagues better than that modern day goofy cartoon network kind of game.

All this is like, your opinion man. 

 

I see Tales is a well made game and probably deserves nomination. 

 

Just like Psychonauts 2 is a very well made game. Its 25 hrs + long, high quality, polished. 

 

A Rift Mechanic cannot be ground for GOTY nomination. Comes across more as a gimmick.

I never said anything about RnC, i'm only saying tales of arise needs the GOTY nomination. P2 is every modern day american cartoon with a cheesy goth look. MS really forced it's games into the GOTY this year, P2 was damn well out of place, if not ToA then at least returnal needed to be in there. Maybe forza horizon 5 was a better GOTY nomination than P2.

Btw whats that Matrix thingy? Is it a actual game? 

 

Yup, downloadable and playable right now on PS5 and XSX/XSS. It's a free, short tech demo. If you want to get a feel of what UE5 games would be like - you can download it now and play.

Did you play RnC? The Rift is no mere "gimmick" - it's an actual amazing mechanic. It makes combat very fast paced and is just mind-blowing. If they ever incorporated such mechanics in other shooters - it will be genre-defining. It will change how such games are played. They are only not able to do it yet because all devs are constrained by the HDDs of the last gen systems.

 

 I agree Psychonauts 2 should be nominated. But it feels like you are dismissing RnC: Rift Apart without even playing it. It's one of the best games of this year, objectively. Just as Forza, AoE4, Psy 2 are all excellent, so is RnC. Don't dismiss it so easily.

Liked 

 

- Arc riders looked good. Thought this was supposed to be a ms exclusive. Dunno what happened. 

 

- Space Marine 2. F**k yes. The first game didn't get it due and was unfairly compared with gears despite being a far far superior game. 

 

- star wars eclipse. Very little details but anything quantic dream is still day 1. 

 

- plague tale sequel. Looks much bigger and colorful. Let's see where they take the story. 

 

- Horizon. GG in full flow. New machines, costumes, moves all look great. Expected her to mount on that flying beast, maybe it's a hint. 

 

Suicide squad. Kinda mixed on this. Looks just ok but you need to play such games to get a feel of it. Got sunset overdrive vibes from it which is not a good thing at all.

 

Matrix. Looks stunning. 

 

Didn't like

 

- shithead or whatever it was. Was expecting something else from Toyama. Total downer. 

 

- Babylon fall can't believe platinum games is wasting it's time on such an uninspiring project.

 

- cross fire. footage looked like poor man's battlefield campaign. 

 

Hellblade. Waste of 6 mins. Graphics look good but everything else was a waste with that psuedo gameplay footage. Should've shown much more esp when it was announced 2 years ago. 

 

Forspoken. The artstyle is such a mess and the gameplay looks so so. Could be good but don't have high hopes.

American cartoon ?? What's wrong with that?

 

As I said all this is your opinion.

 

Psychonauts 2 deserved to win, let alone nominated.

 

We don't get enough old school, high quality platformers these days.

Can you share a video of what you are talking about?

what is "psuedo" gameplay footage? :rofl: 

 

it is normal gameplay footage. You are probably wanting hud elements aren't you?

 :rofl: 

 

If this was Sony revealing this in the name of “gameplay” two years ago we would have seen Atleast 3-4 bots makin fun of “press x to walk”. 
 

I still remember how ppl made fun of Order 1886 & a lot of other “cenamatic games” from Sony. :lol: 

 

Hell Waveking & Aftrrunner didn’t even spare the God of War reveal. :giggle:

In development for almost 4 years now & was practically announced right after acquisition.
I really don’t blame the developers though. 
 

It takes multiple takes & retakes to land on something materialistic after you’ve been freshly acquired & gearing up for a AAA expectation & that too to be up against the AAA of Sony & Nintendo. 
 

It is purely the doofus behaviour of M$ & ppl running the Xbox brand to just rush & start talking about what’s in pipeline prematurely. 
 

The XYZ numbered projects they have announced lately will not see the light of day for next 3-4 years either,let alone getting into consumers hands.

What’s wrong with showing cutscenes? 

Hellblade deals with concepts like psychosis and mental states. 
 

Anyone who’s played the first game will agree cutscenes are more important and gameplay is mostly fixed camera, puzzles, etc.
