Infinity Nikki is a Gotcha as well it, if the DNF Gotcha isn't there it shouldn't either. Aside from IN being about rolling for clothes not characters, it has 5 currencies in the beta rn, 4 of them appear to be pay to obtain.
Okami 2 for me was that one dream game that would never happen, but I would always dream about. The fact that it's real is something I still can't comprehend even a day later. I'm just so happy!
Leave it to Larian for being so real. The big reason why I didn’t watch TGA live this year was because while it’s been an overall fantastic year for video games, for the gaming industry, it’s been about how 2024 has felt for a lot of people, that is to say, craptastic. With so many layoffs and dissolving of dev teams as there’s been not to mention the threat of AI replacing jobs (which BTW, everyone please take a moment to point and laugh at Adobe for trying to do this and watching their stocks seriously tank), it feels very hollow to just celebrate the industry when the industry has been absolutely tyrannical towards the people who work in it. And then they went and called all that out this year. Granted, acknowledgement is only the first step of many that need to be taken to fixing this problem, but it’s an important step all the same. Also can’t forget Statler and Waldorf being the best Muppets has been on TGA (the Kojima jab alone solidifies that) and the return of Clover Studio as Clovers bringing Ōkami back alongside them. What a redemption arc for Capcom.
Never in a million years would i have guessed Onimusha and fucking Okami of all things coming back in this lifetime Salute to Capcom just casually being the best devs again
Chat being so sure of itself Project Century was Mafia, despite being announced six months before and already told it takes place in Sicily was sure something.
I love how the Helldivers actor was really committed to his role, both in game and IRL... and he was much less cringey than the Amanda Waller from years before
Multiversus being in Best Fighting Game this year is still so weird to me. Like yeah, it did “release” this year and all, but it already won that category in 2022. Isn’t that reason enough to keep it off the list? That’s like nominating a GOTY winner for GOTY agai- _oh wait._
I freaking teared up when Okami Sequel dropped. I knew it'd be Okami from the wolf paw silhouette, but I was expecting Okamiden ports or something. And then it's a sequel and Kamiya's making it and oh my god my dream has come true after all these years. Honestly never been happier and more excited for a game, and there's stuff that excited me a ton over the years. This is like, beyond my wildest dreams type of thing, and I'm not ready for it. I know, I know "what's the big deal, it's just wolf Zelda". Ok, it's wolf Zelda, and it's freaking BEAUTIFUL! There. That's why I freaking love Okami and can't wait for this sequel. Oh, and Astro Bot winning GOTY was absolutely deserved. Was really hoping we wouldn't actually get a DLC winning GAME of the year, even though I don't really care much for these awards anyway (their GOTY very rarely aligns with my personal GOTY, and I put more value on my own opinions). It was just nice to see it align again, that's all. It made me smile. Really good show this year.
You said that this was the first time Best OST was given a full spotlight as a category, but that isn’t the case. They gave it a full spotlight in 2022 when _God of War Ragnarok_ won over XC3. That was when they brought Bear McCreary as a guest performer.
I still hold that the _only_ reason God of War won over XC3 was because of recency bias. IIRC it released 9 days before the deadline to qualify for the awards
It really is insane how Astro Bot went from a game that wasn't even on my radar a few months ago to becoming one of my favorite games in such a short time. I'm so hyped it won GOTY
Helldivers 2 never died, it just went through a slow period for a couple of months, even then its player count still remained pretty high, and the last few updates have caused the player count skyrocket once again
@legitbetterthanvinny9725 it still never died, and the main reason player numbers decreased for a while was due to poor balancing decisions from Arrowhead, rather than interference from Sony, but they quickly sorted that out and player numbers were rising again well before this update
@@Azure_Iolite after the DSS it was beginning to stagnate again, before Omens of Tyranny plaercount was around 16-18k, lowest since the 60 day plan. we had several peaks after the PSN situation at early June with the first big good patch, EoF although that was short lived, 60 day plan parts 1 and 2, and Liberty Day.
@@legitbetterthanvinny9725 16-18k players is still isn't low enough for it to be considered "dead" and is still enough for a live service to sustain itself, like I said, things only slowed down for a bit, again, it never actually died, in fact it's pretty common for live service games to reach low points like that every now and then, continously updating a game with new content and keeping things fresh is extremely tough, it's impossible for a dev team to always be on top of things, periods where things begin to stagnate and player numbers decrease are common for these kinds of games
I'm gonna be honest I'm probably one of the 6 people that thinks Intergalactic will be somewhat cool. Maybe it's my low standards, maybe it's my love for space games. It looks cool. I like the 80s tech aesthetic.
NICO IVE TAKEN YOUR NEW GAME POWER! IVE PLAYED ONIMUSHA THIS YEAR AND NOW WE'VE GOT A NEW ENTRY. I WILL USE HIS POWER FOR GOOD AND NOT BIAS, lol Also new okami is goated Also also, 2:03:57 is the best joke of the show, hands down
The announcement of an Okami sequel is still surreal to me! Its been over a decade since Okamiden and almost two decades since Okami (2006) It's wonderful to see the return after so so long. I was recently talking with someone who just finished Okami this about how lovely the games are and ho great it would be if they made more. But neither of us expected it to happen, I was blown away!
I've said this somewhere on discord & even here on TH-cam but it bears repeating *breathes in* THERE WAS SOME GOOD ANNOUNCEMENTS AT TGA! CLIVE IN TEKKEN 8! A NEW NINJA GAIDEN GAME! TUROK COMING BACK! NEW SONIC & ALL STARS RACER! ONIMUSHA IS BACK! ALONGSIDE OKAMI! WITH HIDEKI KAMIYA RETURNING!!! MEANING THERES A CHANCE FOR GOD HAND 2 & VIEWTIFUL JOE 3! VIRTUAL FIGHTER IS BACK HOLY CRAP!!!!!
@sbfh014 with Hideki Kamiya back to Capcom AND REVIVING CLOVER STUDIOS UNDER THE NEW NAME CLOVERS! There's a chance for a God Hand 2 AND VIEWTIFUL JOE 3!
This year’s TGA was amazing! Definitely a good one to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the show! Highlights were Ninja Gaiden, Clive in Tekken, VF6, Elden Ring Co-Op game, Project Century, Onimusha, and the Okami Sequel!
@FlameOfUdun96 I honestly have no idea who is who among these people, I was just going by the order from left to right shown by the name list at the bottom. So that may be why I am confusing names, sorry. As for it making sense: Of course it wouldn't make sense, and I don't expect it to happen. Even if it did make sense to fire him, doing so would create a whole wave of public backlash and Sony cannot be that stupid. So yeah, I don't think it WILL happen. However, since corporate overlords have made weird decisions that do not make any sense in the past, the chance isn't zero. Depends on their ego and how much it was hurt by him acknowledging a rival company. I do not wish it upon him whatsoever tho. It was a joke, really, because I know it's unlikely.
So fun fact about the "literal tree hugging" segment, where I live my great grandparents had a thing where they kept planting trees because we had done a lot of deforestation in our area to build buildings, so they wanted to help the forest grow back Skip a hundred years-ish and we are overgrown with trees to the point where it is almost an issue. Deforestation bad, but regrowing haphazardly also bad
Honestly the product placement in the Intergalactic trailer kinda makes sense given that its trying to fit that specific 1980s movie vibe, and product placement was ALL OVER those.
So... Okami Lets play when? Maybe closer to when we get a release date for a sequel. Trust me Nico, if you haven't played Okami already, you're missing out on one of Capcom's all time greatest games.
Split Fiction actually sounds like a good co-op stream game my wife and I could do together~! Two girls who love fiction, one insane adventure, lol. Also if they don't smooch at the end, I'll be really sad.
*Introduces cool looking sci fi game "Hey this looks neat" *Made by Naughty Dog "Hey they do a good job" *Directed by Neil Druckman "Ah...It's going to be shit then..."
I watched his vod and ripping my hair at Project Century announcement because of the chat. They made Nico kinda talked the trailer over and still kinda disconnected even after second watch. It's a brand new RGG IP for crying out loud!
hhahaha when project century hit..Its either 1. Mafia 2. Fallout . Half Life 3 lolol ..but RGG is really cooking with Virtua Fighter and Project Century
I honestly was pulling for FF7 Rebirth for your sake as GOTY, did NOT see Astro Bot coming. But as long as it wasn't the Elden Ring DLC... Also because of this show, now I want Astro Bot for the next Smash game. (If there IS a new Smash game down the line...) And also FUCK Frostpunk 2. Unicorn Overlord was clearly better but a bunch of idiots didn't know better.
So, was Astro Bot actually worthy of the GOTY win? Cuz someone in a Discord server I'm in said "I guess that's another reason not to take [TGA] seriously", and I haven't seen gameplay of it yet
People on internet are happy that elden ring DLC did not win. Its such stupid putting DLC into one of nominations of GOTY. People were also more happy that it was astro bot, since it was finally one of those game people wanted for long time, as for many people it reminds them games from decades ago with classic platformer.
I've heard nothing but high praises for this game, online and IRL. Some people think only their favourite games deserve to win but forget other games also have done well throughout the year.
As a gamer who is mostly interested in playing Sci-Fi games, I'm incredibly excited for this game. I must admit, I've never bought a Naughty Dog game before, even though I know they're all fantastic. They just haven't been my thing-until now. I can't wait to see more about Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.
While I think astro bot and metaphor were great I feel like it is so unfair for the FF7 devs because the only recognition it got is basically "square has good music" when the game basically reinvented the formula for the next FF games. Also if FF7 had the level of quality of metaphor for example (number of voice acting, graphics, size) it would get absolutely shit on, metaphor is persona with fantasy setting (story was great don't get me wrong) the "standard" for FF is infinitely higher than other games besides wukong here for GOTY. While it didn't have to absolutely win GOTY just winning the soundtrack feels so unfair for the amount of quality work put into rebirth.
Let us not forget that it's not a new game per se, but a remake. It brought new features and some changes but the basis is still the same from the game from the 90s. I doubt they only took into account the quality of a game but other stuff. I hope it manages to win big once the final installment comes out tho.
Rebirth was never gonna win for the same reason as Tears of the Kingdom, God of War Ragnarok, Spiderman 2, and Shadow of the Erdtree. It's just more of the same.
@@denickart all those games are the same as the first with some more features, it's like same but expanded rebirth was completely different compared to remake. Also the game is a sequel not a remake
@@syke2b Any change feels substantial when you're a long time fan of a series. I felt the same way about TotK. But as someone who's only occasionally dabbled in Final Fantasy, Rebirth just felt like a more bloated Remake.
@@wuthebest dude ratings haven't meant anything for like a decade or more. It's just people patting each other or themselves on the back. I don't need an "echo chamber" to form my opinion. In fact shockingly few people share my opinion on this. Where did that assumption even come from? Projecting?
Astrobot is Playstation making a Nintendo game. and they win so many awards for it. Meanwhile, Nintendo gets pretty much nothing. As usual. Because graphics are everything. Nintendo quality with Sony graphics is why Astrobot is a legitimately good and fun game. One that isn't driven by greed. One that puts fun and the player first. How many games like that have existed before? And how many of that number were from Nintendo? Even the developers had to admit they were able to make such a great game because of their love for.....NINTENDO GAMES!!!! Where are the awards for them? The one category that usually would be a guaranteed Nintendo win, the one where 3 of the 5 nominees were Nintendo games, was still given to Astrobot. Because it was such a shock to the industry that Playstation had something comparable to Nintendo's better days.i know that nintendo can be greedy too and that they have their own whole list of problems, but it still just seems unfair to someone like me who only owns a Nintendo console. How can you celebrate gaming as a whole without one of the original companies that had set the standards we see so often to day?
I still can't believe the Ōkami sequel is real after 18 years, it's like a dream come true...
Is Okamiden not considered a sequel?
@@Catpuff818 more of a spin-off considering nobody from the original team worked on it
@Rozemyne2314 ah ok, 👍
Ive had Okami on my backlog for YEARS, now I need to play it 😊
@@sutnev7970 There's still plenty of time, I doubt the sequel will be releasing anytime soon. I'm just happy it exists at all.

CLIVE IN TEKKEN 8! A NEW NINJA GAIDEN GAME! TUROK COMING BACK! NEW SONIC & ALL STARS RACER! ONIMUSHA IS BACK! ALONGSIDE OKAMI! WITH HIDEKI KAMIYA RETURNING!!! MEANING THERES A CHANCE FOR GOD HAND 2 & VIEWTIFUL JOE 3! VIRTUAL FIGHTER IS BACK HOLY CRAP!!!!!
God hand 2 would be amazing, I played it this year and it was so fun, they don't make games like that anymore
@sbfh014 with Hideki Kamiya back to Capcom AND REVIVING CLOVER STUDIOS UNDER THE NEW NAME CLOVERS! There's a chance for a God Hand 2 AND VIEWTIFUL JOE 3!
Onimusha and okami I thought Capcom abandoned them like rockstar abandoned red dead online
I'm glad that Nico remembers Onimusha, barely any of the big youtubers do xD
I did not know Nico played ZZZ but apparently he does? He can immediately recognize every single character 😂
Sad to say there's not a lot of competition for a decent TGA, but at least this means they are learning.
I had my worries about this GA, but I'm glad that things actually were pretty good.
This year’s TGA was amazing! Definitely a good one to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the show! Highlights were Ninja Gaiden, Clive in Tekken, VF6, Elden Ring Co-Op game, Project Century, Onimusha, and the Okami Sequel!
1:16:52 I think that's an 8-bit King's Quest sprite on his T-shirt. Looks like King Graham to me.
46:56 OH DEAR GOD, THAT'S NAMELESS KING!!!
The two universes are converting.
OH NO. 😂😂😂😱
If Sony ends up being a dickhead and fires Brueckner, Nintendo is now honour-bound to hire him. 😂
I think you mean Doucet, and firing him would make zero sense considering how much good pr they got from this
@FlameOfUdun96 I honestly have no idea who is who among these people, I was just going by the order from left to right shown by the name list at the bottom. So that may be why I am confusing names, sorry.
As for it making sense: Of course it wouldn't make sense, and I don't expect it to happen. Even if it did make sense to fire him, doing so would create a whole wave of public backlash and Sony cannot be that stupid. So yeah, I don't think it WILL happen.
However, since corporate overlords have made weird decisions that do not make any sense in the past, the chance isn't zero. Depends on their ego and how much it was hurt by him acknowledging a rival company.
I do not wish it upon him whatsoever tho. It was a joke, really, because I know it's unlikely.
Hopefully Geoff Keighley will keep going with this but with better pacing. Best Game Awards yet!
So fun fact about the "literal tree hugging" segment, where I live my great grandparents had a thing where they kept planting trees because we had done a lot of deforestation in our area to build buildings, so they wanted to help the forest grow back
Skip a hundred years-ish and we are overgrown with trees to the point where it is almost an issue. Deforestation bad, but regrowing haphazardly also bad
so hyped for the new RGG game
Honestly the product placement in the Intergalactic trailer kinda makes sense given that its trying to fit that specific 1980s movie vibe, and product placement was ALL OVER those.
If that's the case, the trailers from the 80s would suck for me. XD Porsche is the Only thing I clearly remember.
2:03:05 still very sad how it wasn't an lp, and we still haven't seen the vod for part 4
"Elden Ring 2"
Miyazaki: Make it more anime?
GRR Martin: Make it more anime.
Was i the only one that knew it was Okami from the Taiko drum?
Okami was the vest announcement imo but Ninja Gaiden coming back is great too.
OK! Okami 2?? I thought the sequel was the DS version with everyone as chibis. that totally caught me off guard lmao
why the fuck did EVERYONE think Project Century was Mafia for even a second? it's clearly Japan from the beginning lmao
So... Okami Lets play when? Maybe closer to when we get a release date for a sequel. Trust me Nico, if you haven't played Okami already, you're missing out on one of Capcom's all time greatest games.
I think he has played it, just not as a let's play
@@shawnshock8651 Hmm, Didn't know.
"Kyora"
Hello Terraria, how are you? 😂
Split Fiction actually sounds like a good co-op stream game my wife and I could do together~! Two girls who love fiction, one insane adventure, lol. Also if they don't smooch at the end, I'll be really sad.
For me Okami plus Statler and Waldorf were the highlights
Glad that brought Sydnee- she’s was funny last year
Maybe a pipe dream, but wonder if Kamiya going back to make Clovers and Capcom may lead to another DMC game.
Best game awards would’ve had KH4 😅
Why did nico remove the Announcement for the long dark 2 at 1:21:30 😢😢
Best Narrative going to Silent Hill 2 (a 20+ year story) would be fucking insane.
Thanks for the timestamps man. Why don't youtubers do this?
*Introduces cool looking sci fi game
"Hey this looks neat"
*Made by Naughty Dog
"Hey they do a good job"
*Directed by Neil Druckman
"Ah...It's going to be shit then..."
I watched his vod and ripping my hair at Project Century announcement because of the chat. They made Nico kinda talked the trailer over and still kinda disconnected even after second watch. It's a brand new RGG IP for crying out loud!
hhahaha when project century hit..Its either 1. Mafia 2. Fallout . Half Life 3 lolol ..but RGG is really cooking with Virtua Fighter and Project Century
I honestly was pulling for FF7 Rebirth for your sake as GOTY, did NOT see Astro Bot coming. But as long as it wasn't the Elden Ring DLC...
Also because of this show, now I want Astro Bot for the next Smash game. (If there IS a new Smash game down the line...)
And also FUCK Frostpunk 2. Unicorn Overlord was clearly better but a bunch of idiots didn't know better.
PRAISE THE SUN
OOhh Rise now ye Tarnished, once dead who yet live. Rise and journey forth, to claim the Elden Ring!
It was SO GOOD.
I fucking called it when everyone say Tifa in Tekken 8, that's just impossible.
Clive is the best FF character for Tekken 8
clover alive again i hope god hand and viewtiful joe revive
So, was Astro Bot actually worthy of the GOTY win? Cuz someone in a Discord server I'm in said "I guess that's another reason not to take [TGA] seriously", and I haven't seen gameplay of it yet
People on internet are happy that elden ring DLC did not win. Its such stupid putting DLC into one of nominations of GOTY. People were also more happy that it was astro bot, since it was finally one of those game people wanted for long time, as for many people it reminds them games from decades ago with classic platformer.
Nico is streaming it right now if you want to stop by and check it out for yourself :)
@@bLuGhOsT_ Went and took a peep. Looks fun! I'd rather see it from the beginning tho
Bruh, it's literally highest rated game on both Metacritic and Opencritics right now with highest User rating as well.
I've heard nothing but high praises for this game, online and IRL. Some people think only their favourite games deserve to win but forget other games also have done well throughout the year.
Man I love Mafia
Let's see just how many devs were told to "wrap it up" this year!
Tbh Arcane was good but season 2 was rushed as for Fallout it was perfect.
Stacked 😊
Love how much Fortnite tilts people 🤣😂
Still no RE9.. which is odd considering Village is from 2021.
@perfectlyslicedegg3348 4 remake was last year.
Let them cook
As a gamer who is mostly interested in playing Sci-Fi games, I'm incredibly excited for this game. I must admit, I've never bought a Naughty Dog game before, even though I know they're all fantastic. They just haven't been my thing-until now. I can't wait to see more about Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.
Okami sequel let’s go!!!!!
While I think astro bot and metaphor were great I feel like it is so unfair for the FF7 devs because the only recognition it got is basically "square has good music" when the game basically reinvented the formula for the next FF games. Also if FF7 had the level of quality of metaphor for example (number of voice acting, graphics, size) it would get absolutely shit on, metaphor is persona with fantasy setting (story was great don't get me wrong) the "standard" for FF is infinitely higher than other games besides wukong here for GOTY.
While it didn't have to absolutely win GOTY just winning the soundtrack feels so unfair for the amount of quality work put into rebirth.
Let us not forget that it's not a new game per se, but a remake. It brought new features and some changes but the basis is still the same from the game from the 90s. I doubt they only took into account the quality of a game but other stuff. I hope it manages to win big once the final installment comes out tho.
Rebirth was never gonna win for the same reason as Tears of the Kingdom, God of War Ragnarok, Spiderman 2, and Shadow of the Erdtree. It's just more of the same.
@@denickart all those games are the same as the first with some more features, it's like same but expanded rebirth was completely different compared to remake. Also the game is a sequel not a remake
@syke2b Rebirth is just Remake with an open world setting.
@@syke2b Any change feels substantial when you're a long time fan of a series. I felt the same way about TotK. But as someone who's only occasionally dabbled in Final Fantasy, Rebirth just felt like a more bloated Remake.
The new naughty dog game gonna be fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Why'd you put Will Smith's wife in the thumbnail? Now he might slap me in the face
Bruh making fun of wuwa, hoyosht is not even the og in every gacha games and the fact the company is so sht, stfu
the day the naughtyyyy dogggg diessss so bye bye miss naughty dog pie
Title says best game awards ever. Puts one of the worst and most hated announcements in view
Yeh arcane season 2 was pretty bad unfortunately...
Yeah, so bad the lowest episodes got a 9.0 rating. Step outside your echo chamber dude.
@@wuthebest dude ratings haven't meant anything for like a decade or more. It's just people patting each other or themselves on the back. I don't need an "echo chamber" to form my opinion. In fact shockingly few people share my opinion on this. Where did that assumption even come from? Projecting?
Awful bait
@@Roronoa2.1 it isn't. You are fine to like the season for whatever thing you found in it that spoke to you. I don't like it cause it wasn't good.
Most obvious bait is most obvious.
This is one of the worst game awards ever
Astrobot is Playstation making a Nintendo game. and they win so many awards for it. Meanwhile, Nintendo gets pretty much nothing. As usual. Because graphics are everything. Nintendo quality with Sony graphics is why Astrobot is a legitimately good and fun game. One that isn't driven by greed. One that puts fun and the player first. How many games like that have existed before? And how many of that number were from Nintendo? Even the developers had to admit they were able to make such a great game because of their love for.....NINTENDO GAMES!!!! Where are the awards for them? The one category that usually would be a guaranteed Nintendo win, the one where 3 of the 5 nominees were Nintendo games, was still given to Astrobot. Because it was such a shock to the industry that Playstation had something comparable to Nintendo's better days.i know that nintendo can be greedy too and that they have their own whole list of problems, but it still just seems unfair to someone like me who only owns a Nintendo console. How can you celebrate gaming as a whole without one of the original companies that had set the standards we see so often to day?
WOMP WOMP 😌
How is it unfair to you if you don't buy other consoles or play other games? Team Asobi had a better game so they won.
Are you demanding an "At Least You Tried" participation trophy for Nintendo or something?
This show was a bust with the only exception Project Century and Okami Sequel, praise the Sun Goddess, Amaterasu!
