The Game Award for Game of the Year

Like, they like to throw in one that has a solid foundation with a backing, like, you know, major IP like that.

I saw a stat, I think it was on Polygon or something, but they said that Sony has not missed out on a Goatee nomination since Jeff took over the Game Awards.

And it's almost assuredly going to happen.

So it's going to break.

It's like, Tim Sweeney, it's time to log off.

You do not... need to be posting right now uh he keeps running his mouth over on x.com the everything app uh just talking about how much he loves ai coding and how important that is to the workflow of epic currently and how important it will be in the future you know he keeps saying oh this isn't about replacing workers this is about you know having workers be more efficient which is complete Bullshit.

And I think everybody understands that and knows that that is not true.

But, you know, he has said basically that, yes, all games going forward will be utilizing AI.

Fair enough.

Uh, well, last question comes from JHerb24, who asks, "Heading towards end of year talks, GTA VI looms large, but what about indies? Are there any indies you're personally anticipating? Anything either indie or AAA you think could shake up preconceived GOTY candidates?" Um-

Oh.

That's an-

Sorry.

I...

While, while you look, I hate to say, but it's, like, a very competitive year for GOTY.

It is, yeah.

Yeah, same.

'Cause we're getting, we're getting into GOTY season.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Um, I have lifted this from Wikipedia, as n- everyone knows I am want to do.

Uh, it won PlayStation Game of the Year at the 40th Golden Joystick Awards, and Most Innovative Gameplay at the Steam Awards.

It was nominated for six awards at the Game Awards 2022, including Game of the Year and Best Game Direction.

It won Best Independent Game and Best Debut Indie Game, um, from PlayStation Blog.

It also won the Best Independent Game of the Year and ranked fourth for Best Art Direction, Best Use of DualSense, PS4 Game of the Year, and PS5 Game of the Year, while the cat was runner-up for Best New Character.

It was nominated for Game of the Year, Adventure Game of the Year, and Outstanding Achievement in Art Direction at the 26th Annual DICE Awards.

You, um, you're not gonna ask-

You're not, yeah

...

if you read a, a GOTY list from any year are not going to include the most popular games.

Uh, and I don't think all of them would be known entities.

But Blueprints is interesting because it's probably the most popular indie game of last year.

Um, all right, one more for Ocarina of Time before we move on to some fan ones here.

Ocarina of Time remake is nominated for Game of the Year at The Game Awards.

I think this is pretty high.

So if I remember, if I remember correctly, the deadline for the release is like sometime in November-

Mm-hmm

... to be nominated for Game of the Year.

So if it falls in that timeline, which it should 'cause it's early enough-

Mm-hmm

I played a game so good, in fact.

I think it might be a game of the year candidate.

It's not going to win.

GTA, you know.

Maybe niggas can dream, but it was a very good game.

That game is control resonant.

And it inspired me to look at some of the other game of the years throughout history.

So we got to keep three cuts seven.
