Solitaire could be Game of the Year. Yet the game that likely deserves to win such an award, Silent Hill 2, is absent from the nominees. I seen it trending on X last night.
Yeah, I cannot believe it either. They're not all with it, clearly.

The game awards have become a joke in general @Axel Stone
Only watch them for the reveals personally, and that lunatic keighley is trying to trademark the term game awards even though that has been used by other events that existed before the vga.

The game didn't come out until October, so it's possible that there was a cut off date. Games like RE4 came out in their respective years during the spring, and by the summer, had likely sold millions of copies. So maybe that's a potential reason for why it has been omitted.
Such a shame, though. Comeback of the year / decade, and one that restored my faith in Konami again. It will likely still take home at least one of the other awards. 'Best Audio' or whatever, and 'Best Acted', etc.

Well it is also possible silent hill got shunned because keighley is a huge kojima fanboy, and has a grudge against konami since they parted ways.
Yeah. I tire of hearing about Kojima. The series more or less truly died down in quality once Team Silent left Konami to pursue a career elsewhere. The franchise had been lame for a decade before Kojima even got into the fray, because the IP was leased to developers that made mediocre titles.
I just feel like he is overrated, and is praised by fanboys way too much, so it can begin to feel like Team Silent is being overlooked.
Kojima's biggest game Death Stranding, isn't even that fun. You basically just walk around a large map, delivering stuff, and having cutscenes.

The Legacy of Kain series: retrospective with original developers

a retrospective on Legacy of kain.
The cut off date for nominees of the TGA is like late November. Hence why SH2 still got nominations elsewhere. Just not GOTY. It was a strong year. SH2 was maybe 7th in line, or even 6th, if we don't count expansions. 6th best game of the year by a panel of 100s across the world is still pretty damn good, imo.
Curious, have you payed MGS1-3? Or even his older work like Metal Gear, Snatcher, and Policenauts?
Hoping to read this tonight. I've always wanted to get into the LoK series. I only played the Soul Reaver demo as a teen. I hope to start Blood Omen 1 on GOG soon, then getting the Soul Reaver remaster collection. I have the other 2 games already on GOG also, hopefully they play well on modern systems.The Legacy of Kain series: retrospective with original developers

Naughty Dog's New Game May Have Leaked, But Is It Real?
"Timeless Travel" might be the title of Naughty Dog's next project, but the legitimacy of this info is being called into question.

new rumors for naughty dogs's next project.
@Axel Stone
kojima is known for his work on Metal Gear and i was curious what his Silent Hills project wouldve been.
death stranding is a decent game but an acquired taste.
that being said, Im not sure a remake should be game of the year and rather they be in a seperate category ala "best remake"

The Witcher 4 Gets Exciting Update From CD Projekt Red

I really need to play the Witcher series. That and Persona and Like a Dragon are probably my 3 biggest "blind spots" for video game series (for a PC player at least, though I have played my fair share of every major Nintendo series, too).The Witcher 4 Gets Exciting Update From CD Projekt Red

You really should play the witcher 2 and 3, quite possibly the best rpgs ever made.
Kojima Wants The Death Stranding Movie To Be A "New Dimension" Of What A Game Adaptation Can Be
Hideo Kojima doesn't want the Death Stranding movie just to be another run-of-the-mill adaptation but set the tone for what later video game movies should be.
im curious what that ends up looking like.
i wouldnt mind a prequel focusing on Sam and his first wife Linda. Their story was pretty interesting and i wished it was explored better in the main game.

I will get around to them eventually.
But for now, series I want to prioritize "catching up" on are Persona, Like a Dragon, STALKER, and Ace Attorney. Luckily, I don't mean to catch up by playing EVERY SINGLE game. But just a couple to get my feet wet and have a better, informed opinion of the respective series. But as this is the news thread, here's some news!
