I'm glad Helldivers made it to the top 10 but think it deserves to be in the top 5. The action-oriented fun of the game revived in me how fun games can be without a serious tone or being hard on yourself because you can't get pass a certain part.

@Killionaire ouch

@breakneck the game costs $40 and is a live-service game. The issue isn't over needing to pay for in-game content(weapons, cosmetics, equipment). The problem is that they're charging 2x the cost for only 4-5 items when for the same price of real money or in-game currency, you can get literally 10x that for the same price.

The trailer looks great! Certainly, Mass Effect influenced. I want to see a full gameplay trailer with the UI before fully being interested.

@LavenderShroud it's an awards show. Games receiving awards are the same as movies, music, and TV show awards. We consume entertainment in different ways. Awards cause a boost to attention to the specific form of media, developers can get more money for future games, and create hype for the next game. We will still be talking about gaming awards from TGA or the next gaming event at least 2 or 3 weeks later. This is nothing new. For gaming and any other entertainment award event.

Why is Mark Cerny and Sony mentioning references to PS6?! PS5 only recently has become readily available with stock within the past year at minimum. PS5 only has a handful of games that you can't get on PS4 and the only immediate one I can think of is Helldivers 2.

PS6 needs to be at least teased in 2027. We are entering in 2025 without games still releasing on both PS4 and PS5.

@Killionaire it's for democracy

My most anticipated are
1. GTA 6
2.Split Fiction
3)Marvel 1943
4) AC: Shadows
5) Monster Hunter Wilds

I'm fine with only playing these handful in all of 2025. Shame that none on my list are PS exclusives. Sony really is running dry.

@AhmadSumadi day 1 releases are not a smart way to go whether it can keep subscriber numbers or not. I also don't think it's smart for studios to do this. Many of us can't play day 1 releases also when a game is later added to PS+ it's an opportunity for us to dive in and get our subscription worth.

For instance, I was interested in Forspoken but after the first reviews, I decided to not even waste money and give it a go.

Witcher 3 is on PS+ and I have never had an interest in it until seeing The Witcher 4 trailer. So now I don't have to spend money, even on the discounted complete edition rate and get my PS+ Extra worth by playing the game and deciding 50+ gaming hours later if I want to play the DLC for $10-$20.

@Aaron Bayne, I'm gonna push back and say after The Game Awards announcement for the new faction in Hell Divers 2, they also released new content the same night. The amount of players who have been playing since then has skyrocketed to high numbers. A second wind has hit the servers.

Finally, we are getting a new IP from Naughty Dog! Took long enough. I need a story and gameplay trailer before solidifying a pre-order. I'm all for game narratives and action, and hope this new direction of an IP keeps up with the great ND quality of their other games.

@LikelySatan This is the first time I've ever heard of Turok. I thought this was a new IP until I got online and realized that it's not. Not all of us were old enough for the popularity of N64 or never had a N64. I'm hyped for this game.

@Sequel Thanks, I've added it to my wishlist and gonna wait for a price drop or discount sale.

@TruestoryYep Bro @IceClimbersMain is being sarcastic because they were eligible GOTY for their DLC Lollll

As a person who has yet to play Astro Bot, did it really deserve GOTY over the others? I haven't played an Astro game since the PS4 early days when they had the bots to explore the abilities of the DS4.

Helldivers 2 I am glad took home their awards. The game beat out even Fortnite for best ongoing game and I didn't expect that to happen.

@nessisonett what filler? The most I can say are the music performances but it's to keep the audience in attendance engaged instead of just playing videos of trailers and gameplay the whole time.

This year's award show has been better than any of the previous game awards in my opinion. Usually, there aren't more than one or two games I'm interested in but I'm looking forward to many that were shown. I've never had an interest in playing The Witcher 3 but now I am gonna play it before Witcher 4 comes out. I am excited about Naughty Dog's new IP. FINALLY they are making something new and it is far off from their usual creations.

The concept and the gameplay have sold me on it.

This mode might just bring me back to Fortnite. I've always only played when friends send me an invite when I'm online but not often. But this mode seems like fun and something different that can keep a solid balance instead of an all-out Battle Royale approach.

@riceNpea @Pat_Trick I am not paying more than $300 for a handheld -Typing from my 256GB iPhone <_<

@get2sammyb is it possible for you all to start having gameplay trailers instead of the announcement trailers? Most announcement trailers don't match up with gameplay trailers. Just a suggestion.

This isn't even a rewards program anymore for regular purchases or subscription renewals(point accumulation is ceasing for this anyways). Just feels like a program that Sony can shine even though it's of no true benefit to PS gamers. I'm disappointed in Sony for this.

I checked because I haven't bothered using my points in a while. I don't see the option for me to exchange points for a PS gift card at all. Only the option for games or collectibles. wtf!

@thefourfoldroot1 this is a pretty negative take but I understand your view. Profit-wise, you are forgetting about microtransactions, season passes, & memberships to live-service games. The publishers make more from live-service games than those who make a single-player game.

I only see it as a negative for the industry because fewer new IP will be released annually. But if I am enjoying my live-service game, I don't have an issue with this as long as the new content is good.

I play GTA the majority of the time because with a limited time to finish some games, I just want to enjoy gaming and that's why I continue playing it online. I have continued playing other games for new releases or some in my backlog but once I'm done, I go right back to GTA online.

This will be very useful for wanting to Platinum a game or for online games. I usually have gone to Youtube to search for how to do something specific. This will be such a valuable new feature.

I truly don't see the point of a PS5 Pro at this moment. I think another 3-5 years once the PS5 tech is finally pushed to its limit. With the capabilities of the PS5 having never even been elevated to where it could be if it got the attention from Sony solely relying on the PS4 base, I would agree with the pro release. However, I don't see a point. Technology lasts longer due to fast advancements, and PS5 is no different. I hope Sony delays the PS5 pro release even further back.

@nocdaes The languages shouldn't be an issue since many primary languages on the continent or in countries whose families can afford consoles are English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. If not the primary, definitely the second primary language. They have to start slow before needing to dive into the dialects.

Just like companies separate the continent of Asia with China and SE Asia, I want companies to do the same. The continent of Africa is not a monolith. South Africa, yea, being an economic powerhouse on the continent, I dislike when companies group 53 separate countries as if it's a single one.

There's a reason why game studios are trying to get into Live Service games now, the amount of money Fortnite makes globally with the amount of players gaming annually is a crazy number I am sure. GTA is somewhat in this mix because of GTA online. Wow.

@Pixipantalon @LaurenIpsum as an active GTA online player, this new DLC provides not just a new business but other changes and new missions to do. We get maybe 3 large updates a year and after the last update, this is a welcome one. I welcome this update.

Gonna play at some point tomorrow. I platinumed Ragnarok so I am looking forward to going back to this world and gaining those new trophies too.

@Splat I was not expecting that many. Nice!

Why do I feel like I saw this article multiple times now within the last month?

If Crunchyroll was fully included in PS Premium then I would upgrade since Crunchyroll is my go-to service for anime streaming.

Finally, more original IP and not sequels. I'm looking forward to more info on the game.

I've had every PlayStation console and handheld. The PS2 was very popular when I was a kid but my family could only afford a PS1. I started from there, then got a PS2 when the PS3 launched. I had a PSP. Then I finally bought myself a PS3 Slim when it came out because I finally had a job. I grew up on PlayStation and they always have a great selection of games that contain strong stories. I had an Xbox gifted to me, but I play my PS2 way more. Sony has earned these results.

I might snag AC: Mirage for that price.

This has been happening for at least the second year in a row, why are you guys always shocked by this?

Resogun is such a fantastic game. Yes, it's straightforward, but it's one of the toughest games to Platinum and I had so much fun aiming for it. It started out small, but it was such a success that the developers expanded the game with new additions. I'm so glad it made it within one of the defining PS4 games.

Seems to be monthly now of hearing another Naught Dog veteran leaving the company. I hope there isn't something bigger going on.

Is Best Adaptation a new category? I never have seen that before.

Guess I haven't played many new games in the last year because I only have played two games on this nomination list. I haven't been excited for many of the new releases and many are because it takes too long to complete the main story.

Anyone know how good this can be with using it with your phone's hotspot? For instance, being on a train or bus and you want to play.

How about they fix and improve the Spotify app on PS5 first.

I wonder how many monthly players GTAV online still gets.

Well, I bought it on sale back when TLOU show was on tv. I still haven't played it yet, but oh well.

If this is true, I will start Gotham Knights. The overall site review is not so good, but the team reviewed it at 7. I'll get to see for myself now.

I added in my ratings and realized that I have played more Batman games than any other superhero games. Batman's Telltale series are underrated and Arkham Asylum deserves to be higher than Arkham City.

As much as I enjoy this anime, the game isn't worth getting for me. I've never been into this style of gaming.

@twitchtvpat I'm speaking specifically about the voice actors and motion capture actors. I wish more of the gaming industry were unionized though.
