Is it just me, or are they actually learning? Veilguard getting completely snubbed? By these ass lickers?
Where's Stellar Blade?
Also also: I fucking hate how many times there's remakes on this. Even Silent Hill 2 but mainly FF7 "rebirth". You could argue "but ff7 doesn't count" yes, it does. I don't think remakes have any place in any of those awards, you're basically recycling content we've seen years ago as "new and original" when it's anything but. Silent Hill 2 for example changed the soundtrack and it just sounds bland now, yet it's nominated...wtf.
Also on Veilguard: Look at who's on the jury, a lot of dicksuckers for Veilguard and it could only weasel its way onto accessibility? Well, no surprise there, you gotta be severely handicapped in the brain regions to be interested in this game in the first place with how shitty it is.
Just shows me Veilguard is utterly dreadful and people would've called em out for it...they learned nothing, trust me.
I don't even like TGA but was Stellar Blade's gameplay even any good? All I hear about the game is having a sexy protagonist
Gameplay is good, just got annoyed that they censored it at launch. Seems they fixed a lot of it. I bought it, played quite a bit of it and sent it back because of said censorship. I'll have to buy it again when it's coming out for pc.
This is true for a lot of remakes, but the FF7 ones are significantly different enough that I say this doesn't apply to them. Like, I don't particularly like the Remake, but they built almost a new game for it in every way but the broad backbone of the story. Its got more "new" development to it than 90% of sequels do.
I don't think it should have been made or done like that to begin with (and FF7 never dying needs to fucking end to begin with), but it is a mostly new game more so than something like Silent Hill is.
I saw a bit of it, was turned off and did not feel the urge to try the other one. Story's still following the original, no?
I didn't finish Remake (so I didn't touch Rebirth), but from where I got (I think like 1/3) its the same story with extra details to fill in and justify being a full priced game that only covers a small part of the original story.
The Time Janny thing comes in towards the end and adds a meta level that's all new, but the story otherwise seems to be the same skeleton with just some details expanded as far as I could tell.
But given that, and the otherwise massive changes , its closer to "two different adaptations of the same work" that someone attempting to accurately remake an outdated title. Which at minimum I think qualifies it as closer to "new game" than something like SH2 or even RE4 remakes did.
The story is slightly different both on the macro level and small interactions.
If you liked the first it's close enough that it doesn't feel like the story has been distorted beyond recognition, but enough different that it doesn't get boring.
I can't imagine how stupid you have to be in order to change that game's soundtrack. Then again it tracks with the rest of the changes they've made to that game in that they've completely missed everything that made that game good.
I think it's still kinda the same, same composer but it just sounded different to how it did before. Honestly, this is one game I don't even see the need for a remake, especially one in the resident evil style.
Most games don't actually need remakes, they just need to be playable on current systems.
It's up for Best Action Game and Best Score and Music
