I'd be thrilled if e-day makes it's way to playstation, it's the only upcoming game they have that interests me (outside of doom the dark ages).
I wouldn't say no to the MCC though.

Maybe when I was a teenager I would have reluctantly caved if my friends where playing some cod early or something but not now, got bigger things to worry about than playing a game day one.

I'm not against another studio creating their own tale in that world. But a high bar has been set for whomever they are, edgerunners was a classic.

Always figured this game would be niche.
I reckon 1 million sales in it's launch window with a lifetime sales of 3. The price isn't helping, it might make sense with it's budget, but a lot of people don't see platformers as £60 worthy. (I'm still picking it up mind you 👍)

Too be honest this gen hasn't been an exciting one (my opinion of course), so the idea of spending all that on another console when the one I've got doesn't feel like it's getting it's money worth is a hard sell.
And for what we're getting the price does simple feel way too high.

I think when he says original IP he means mainstream IP. Which too be fair they don't have many. They only really started hitting mainstream with their games last of us 1 onwards (outside of Gran Turismo)

I can't believe it... I got them all right.... but the very last one ....

Is no 60 fps really a deal breaker now? I don't get it. It's nice, but it hardly makes or breaks a game.

Reanimal was the only game that got me excited, which is what I predicted so I guess the conference didn't underdeliver for me.
The Goat simulator trailer was pretty good though, not my kinda game but I enjoyed that showing.

Tarsiars new game is the only announced thing I wanna see.
I'm highly doubtful Expedition 33 or Sliksong will be there but that would be very cool.
I'm excited for Metpahor, Doom, Plucky Squire and Wisdom of Echoes but I don't care to see any more previews from them, I'm sold already.
Overall can't say I'm excited for this and I'm not sure if they can get me to be, but I shall check out tarsiers new game 100%

If they had this stance around the time of origins I may not have gotten serious burn out and could very well still be a fan. But I think I've had enough AC for one lifetime now.

I use to be huge into this series back in the early days but I've mostly fallen off them years ago so I'm missing quite a few of them.
4. Borderlands 3
3. Borderlands 2
2. Borderlands
1. Tales from the Borderlands

Metaphor and Echoes of Wisdom. Plucky Squire and Silksong as well if they actually launch.
Dragon age I'd love to be won over by but I have my doubts

When it comes to soulslikes I almost completely just play the from softwares ones. I've had a little go here and there of others but I've never properly gotten into them (unless something like Hollow Knight counts).
So overall I'm nowhere near burnt out and ready for more!

8/10, I'll take it!

@Voltan
Thanks for the reply, I'll keep an eye out for that.
And ye you should definitely watch edgerunners. I haven't played cyberpunk and that wasn't a problem, the show is awesome.

That's pretty cool. Haven't got the game but I've been interested for a while.
Any word on if that three v three can be played locally for online play, or would I only be able too team up with online players? Cos if I can team up locally then I'd buy it today.

@Jmerbaugh thanks. Ye I actually ended up going with ZZZ, hopefully I'll get around to it today

@get2sammyb @ATaco thanks for the reply, I think I'll go give them a go, maybe starting with either ZZZ or Honkai judging by what you said.

You know what I think I'll bite with one of these games, which do people recommend though?

Rebirth, good game (final level maybe not), granted I haven't played many new games this year, tekken 8 and Erdd tree being the only others.

Completely depends on if I'm enjoying it. If I am it can be as easy or difficult as it likes.
If I'm not enjoying it then ye being extremely difficult or even extremely easy would likely be the final nail in the coffin for that game.

Shadow of the erd tree and Metaphor for me.
Splitterhead and Dragon age are on my maybe list, I want to want them but so far I'm not sold.

Personally I'm not ready to draw a conclusion on it. I'll wait and see what the game plays like and go from there.

1) 3
2) 1
3) 2018
4) Valhalla (I know it's DLC but I think it feels standalone enough to warrant it's own spot)
5) Ragnarok
6) Ghost of Sparta
7) Chains of Olympus
8) Ascension
9) 2

@Zuljaras Hell I'd buy it! Assassins Creed India GOTY

Hell ye, I was gonna jump in at launch but I've recently bought final fantasy rebirth so I shall finish that one first before buying a new, new game 👍

The only new game I've played this year is Tekken 8 which was good fun. Haven't touched the single player stuff and I only purchased a month of plus so there's a good chance I'm done with it now though.
To be honest I haven't played a lot of games this year. I finished of Xeno 3 dlc and Fire Emblem engage on switch. That plus Tekken 8 is about it so far.

Guess I'll wait for this game then 😅

Really wanna jump in but I'm just too busy with backlog/other things right now. I shall pick it up layer in the year though

It looks fun but I don't know if I'll ever get to it. Gaming is too competitive these days, it's impossible to play merely just the games I want too let alone other interesting ones on top.

Don't know much about this game but what I have seen looks kinda neat! I'll be giving this demo a go for sure 👍

Well obviously games are the most important thing. A new media molecule game probably excites me the most but that's unlikely.
Maybe Ghost of Tsushima sequel? I thought the first was good but not great. But I am a big fan of Sucker Punch and I dig the setting.
A God of war game on the scale of Miles Mirales could be cool if it was led by Kratos.

@riceNpea That's some Kojima level meta right there I like it!

It was a really good year (even if I failed to get to most of the games 😅)
With that being said I wouldn't call it my personal favourite year for gaming.
2010 and 2017 are my favourites, and 2019, 2007 and 2011 was pretty damn good as well.

@TrannosaurusBex doubtful I'll get time today but if I do I'm going Xenoblade 3! Enjoy your killzone/doki doki

It looks really cool, though I haven't actually played any of their games so I shall wait on the reviews.
It's also the same day as Dragons Dogma, another one that I haven't played but that I think looks great.
May the better game win I guess 😎

I may have been a bit luke warm on Ragnarok as a whole, but Kratos himself was legendary. I've always viewed the character as one of the great gaming protagonists (yes, that includes back in the Greek days) and the recent games have only added to that arguement. I loved the greek trajedy arc and found Kratos fitted the roll perfectly, and I'd argue he was not as one note as many people believed.
But the growth in the norse arc was needed, he had been on a revenge quest for too long.

That's mine anyways

I'm not a huge rogue like fan however I am a massive Kratos fan. Also can't complain with free dlc of this calibur, especially nowadays.
I'll be giving it a go for the story once I've finished up what I'm playing at the moment 👍

Metaphor is no.1 for me by a long shot. It would take something very exciting to take my attention away from that.
FF VII Rebirth is no.2 followed by Tekken 8.
Outside of those there's not much I'd considered must play. Dragons Dogma 2, Black Myth, The Plucky Squire, Rise of the Ronin and Little Nightmares 3 all have interest from me but we'll see.
Persona 3 looks like a good remake minus the removed content. I probably won't get it and wait for the inevitable complete condition, that or Persona 6.

Metaphor is my no.1 without a doubt. Really dug that trailer.
The final fantasy vii stuff was cool, Black Myth looks like a good time, and even though I've never played Guilty Gear I've always enjoyed their reveal trailers. Just something about them that's entertaining!

I was hoping for Baldurs gate 3, but then again I probably wouldn't have gotten around to actually playing it until well into next year, I imagine I could get it cheaper then.

My personal goty is persona 5 tactica, I know its not the best made game or anything but I just felt I had the most fun playing it this year.
My second best game is TOTK and third is Fire Emblem engage but obviously those aren't on PlayStation.
This does put me in a awkward spot though, the games I really cared about this year aren't valid and I don't really wanna give my top spot to games that I just found alright, as much as I liked Humanity it doesn't feel right giving it my goty.
Completely understand why there's a cap but I'm not sure if I'll be voting this year.

Personally loved the game. Might even be my Goty 😮

Tekken 8 and Final fantasy rebirth for me. Persona 3 looks like a good remake (minus the missing content) but I kinda done with replaying remakes of old games I've already played the hell out off.
I'll just wait for Metaphor and Persona 6 instead.

Baldurs Gate 3 is my prediction to win even though I haven't played it, I think it would be really cool to see a genre that is usually ignored win it, Original Sin 2 didn't even get nominated despite all that game apparently accomplished.
Zelda is obviously the other big Contendor, it's definitely down to those two.
I've played TOTK (admittedly at a snails pace, yet to see the credits) but I think it's a game worthy of goty. Love the three layer set up to it's open World (the Sky, Land and underground)

Just starting playing it. I'm digging it so far even though the first two hours have been a bit tutorial heavy (as is usually the case with persona/strategy games).
I haven't really felt the Phantom Theives burnout and I think that's because I haven't really played any of the spin offs. I didn't play royal, and I only played about five hours of strikers which I unfortunately couldn't get into, so they're hardly over exposed for me.

It was a good console, not my favourite but it's up there, maybe third behind the switch and ps3, possibly tied with the gamecube?
As for the game that defined it... I think (and I'm sure this choice will change depending on what day you ask me) is Nier Automata, a game I initially bounced off before going back to it about a year later. Got the true ending and wow, what a game 👏
Other picks for me include The Last Gaurdian (criminally underlooked), Bloodborne/Sekiro, Hollow Knight, Tales from the borderlands, Red Dead 2, Black Flag, GOW 2018 and Uncharted 4.

I'm feeling luke warm about it personally. The device itself is cool but the library hasn't really been to my tastes thus far.
Elden Ring is the only game I think I'll remember fondly for years, and that was a cross gen game I could have played on a ps4.
