Astro Bot cleaning house!
Did not expect it to win. Congrats to Team Asobi. Sony with another GOTY.
My copy came in too.

Hyped for Intergalactic. ND with the top tier animations and graphics.
ND game with sword play. I'm so hyped. We've had enough guns since Uncharted and Zombies are not really my thing so I'm excited to see how they innovate.

Outer Worlds 2 straight to PS5 after being announced as an exlcusive is interesting, More Xbox games coming over.

A Sony platformer won GOTY game and Sony also won Multiplayer of the year in Helldivers 2. What is going on

Elden Ring standalone game. I bet no one is complaining there's too much Elden Ring like they do with Horizon games. The trailers are always hyped and PS4 will never die.

Overall, very good show. Not sure how Keighley will top the announcements next year. Would probably need to show Wolverine gameplay.

Yea I was happy to see Outer Worlds coming to PS5. First game was great.

Should I cop Astrobot?

Should I cop Astrobot?

Astro’s playroom is included with the PS5 for free. I think playing that makes one able to decide if astrobot is for them.

I played that one and enjoyed it.

 

[slaughterx]

What should be the first Uncharted game I should buy on my PS5 if I want to play the whole series? I know some will be prev gen but I’ll still get them on the PS5 store

There are so many interpretations of sci-fi/space. I'm not sure what makes this generic? It's inspired by other properties and that's fine.

Uncharted and TLOU aren't wholly original in concept, but ND elevated them both to iconic series.

No reason to believe they can't do the same with Intergalactic.

it looks like the generic cyberpunk type vibe with the streetwear clothes and neon light. It’s been done before.

Again, I’m only judging based off the trailer so it doesn’t mean much.

You'll be covered with these 2 collections. That's 5 games in total.

I played that one and enjoyed it.

Only played the PSVR game Astrobot Rescue Mission and that's probably one of the best VR games of all time.
This new one been compared to Mario games like Galaxy so if platformers are your thing, then yea.

 

[Sinner]

Yep, I totally got the Akira vibe as well... especially with the light-trails!

 

[T0INE]

It’s unfortunate but the first comments were “why do I have to play as a woman? And she’s black?!?!”

She's black?

EYE thought she was of Asian descent.

Thought we were past the "outrage" of games being "woke" for having a lead female protagonist.

Well if that's the case then

Yeah, I thought she was Asian, too. Then looked her up on Wiki... dad is Black and mom is South Korean.
She was in the Uncharted movie... and will be in TLOU2 as well!

Tomb-raiding explorer had been done before, too.

 

[Mark Antony]

Had me at the Porsche spaceship.

 

[flyeed]

Yea I’m not sure where calling this a generic looking sci-fi gaming experience is coming from.

The retro-futuristic nostalgia is off the charts. It looks like legitimate artists/folks in high fashion had input on art direction/aesthetic. Feels like being a kid in the 80s/90s and our imaginations of the future come to life. With Akira, cowboy bebop, blade runner, ghost rider, etc inspiration.

 

[Ricky D]

+ TW4
+ ER NightReign
+ Intergalactic
+ Onimusha
+ Mafia: Old Country
+ The Outer Worlds 2

This was probably the best TGA in terms of announcements, for me.

The show itself is a little too long. I was cooked at the end. I actually didn’t intend to watch but found last minute that I didn’t have to work today so decided to watch it with my kids.

Astro Bot winning GotY was NOT on my bingo card. Geoff not beating those allegations

 

[slaughterx]

Gonna eat a mushroom bar and play it

 

[flyeed]

feel like when astrobot dropped people were immediately proclaiming it as GOTY then as time went on a lot of that steam amongst gamers went away but I guess with the voting panel it stayed.

Either way it’s refreshing to see a game of its kind take the award.

 

[Bad Religion]

Gonna eat a mushroom bar and play it

This album is super nostalgic.

 

[Beruseruku Desu]

Tomb-raiding explorer had been done before, too.

exactly that’s why uncharted was mid

 

[Ricky D]

What games do you like bruh?

Damn man
