Round Up: What Was Announced at The Game Awards 2024?

Onimusha and Okami getting sequels makes me so happy. And a new Ueda game. My dream thing was seeing an announcement of FFIX remake but I still got a lot of good news from this.

How the hell did i miss the okami announcement?!! I must have been making food.. could this night get any better?!

Sorry but Naughty Dog's new game looks like corporate slop packed to the gills with branding and advertisements. Ookami 2 and Onimusha were absolutely wild announcements though.

I don't think we talk enough about the insane run of games from Capcom the last 8-10 years. Since SFV / RE7 to now.

@ATaco tell me you never watched Akira or Blade Runner without telling me you’ve never watched Akira or Blade Runner.

@DonJorginho
Is this an Akira or Blade runner game? No? Ok then. It's Cyberpunk, there's more than enough of these styles of games out now. If this setting still feels fresh to you then kudos but to me its just another thing they nailed on their checklist.

@ATaco Druckmann literally cited Akira, Blade Runner and Cowboy Bebop as inspirations for this game, it's a retro futuristic aesthetic, brand placement is a huge part of 2/3 of those inspirations.

You can make an argument about not wanting a game that takes inspiration from those titles, but to say it's just corporate slop with product placement is highly reductive imo.

Me hoping for shenmue 4 😅

new Onimusha, Okami and Clive joining Tekken were the highlights for me. We're so back!

Okami getting a sequel amid a sea of a studio closures and layoffs is nothing short of a mirace.

Wrecked at work and for what? CLIVE?????

Jokes aside when it was going full throttle it was a great show, but went on too long and started to drag near halfway with a few things at the end to bring it around.

Onimusha baby!

@DonJorginho stop talking about BladeRunner/Akira... because it seems you don't understand the media that you're referencing. BladeRunner is meant to show the pointless and shallow advertising in life impacting on our social architectural narrative. That's not the vibe shown here... this is just brand-association with an 80's vibe. Haven't we outgrown that?

I think you missed Shadow Labyrinth

No mention of Dispatch? That one definitely gripped me a bit with the visual style, good voice cast and the premise of the game. Seems to blend some interesting management game ideas with a TellTale style? Either way, that one is on my radar.

Wipeout??? Come on Sony get it done!

Pretty bad overall but nice to see Capcom bringing back more IPs. Looking forward to Onimusha. Waiting for Dino Crisis yet again.

@SJR feeling ya, but hey, you Suzuki is making a mobile game 😂😭

Overall what an amazing showcase. Okami 2, Onimusha 2, that new studio RGG game, the new Ueda game, 2d ninja gaiden and of course Witcher 4 and intergalactic. A mindblowing mix of new games and sequels. That's the most excited I've been since E3 2015.
If there was nothing to excite here, then one must be hopelessly jaded and should find a new hobby.

Onimusha, Crimson Desert, Mafia and Screamer all look promising. Excited to learn more about Project Robot.

Fun to wake up to a sh*t-ton of reveals and trailers, thanks for covering this so extensively. 😁

@ATaco really 🤔 did you mind Regain, Walkman, iPod, Playboy, FHM, Mountain Dew, Triumph Motorcycles or Calorie Mate in Metal Gear. Mercedes Benz in Mario Kart. Verizon and Energiser in Alan Wake. Even Kit Kat in Theme Hospital. Or…. Is it just fun to hate.

None of them I like from the list above.

OKAMI 2!

I almost cried when I saw the teaser and who will be making it. After all these years...

Okami sequel, Ninja Gaiden Ragebound, Split Fiction, New Virtua Fighter main game, and Project Century were the highlights for me. I'm satisfied.

@themightyant Yes! I was so emotionally partly because I was completely taken by surprise. The rumors of other great games having been around for a while.

@ATaco I’d imagine that’s a rather large budget on that game so understandable to a degree if they are getting a few dollars from Porsche for one (plus that was cool) to help fund that gigantic project.

@DonJorginho Tell me about it lol.
The industry is full of haters and so called wokeys that think they know it all and can make games and don’t apply logic anymore. Inspiration comes from anywhere and going beyond the norm is always a risk in this industry as the idea has to work soon as people see what they don’t want to see it automatically means it’s rubbish because it isn’t about ‘them’. Make it make sense.

Onimusha really stood out in terms of a franchise that deserves a genuine remaster.
