For this 2024 edition, the producer and host of the Game Awards, Geoff Keighley, wanted to add a little spice. In the end, it was not spices that he added but fuel to the fire. For good reason, the new rules and appointments are debated. The worst part of all this is that this flagship game from PlayStation Studios has not been named once, even with the relaxation of the rules: it is 100% sure to leave empty-handed during this ceremony, set for December 12th.
Game Awards, the nominees for each category have been announced: the subject of GOTY 2024 is already being debated
Yes, it feels strange to point this out but the doors to 2024 are already about to close. Once again, this year will have been punctuated by numerous video game releases which have, in some way, contributed to 2024 passing at lightning speed. Year after year, outings accompany us for dozens or even hundreds and, as January approaches, there is a meeting supposed to put all these beautiful people in the spotlight: the Game Awards ceremony, headed by producer Geoff Keighley.
Moreover, just this week, we were able to discover the nominees in the different categories and, above all, the names of those currently competing for the title of “GOTY 2024”. So, who will have shoulders strong enough to succeed Elden Ringwinner in 2022, and Baldur’s Gate 3champion in 2023 ? If, at the start, we believed that the battle between the potential winners would be close, a new rule, introduced from this new edition, may have upset the course of things. Yes, we might already have the name GOTY 2024, and it's a subject that has been the subject of much debate for several days…
No price on the horizon to honor the PS5 version of… The Last of Us Part II Remastered
Now that the full list has been revealed, the players have instinctively split into two camps. On the one hand, those who debate the different nominees and who argue in favor of this or that title for the sacred of next December 13, and, on the other, those who maintain a completely different list: the list of forgotten games ! It's quite sad but while certain productions attract the spotlight, like the atypical rogue-like card game Balatroothers will be content to applaud the winners of this ceremony from the shadows. In this regard, one of the big releases of 2024 was not entitled to any nomination!
It was nevertheless one of the major releases of 2024, but it became the most injured title in this race for the Game Awards, and it is none other than The Last of Us Part. II Remastered. Released at the very beginning of the year, this PS5 port of The Last of Us Part II. was not just a simple transposition of the game released in June 2020. Throne among the highest rated titles on Metacritic in 2024, The Last of Us Part II. Remastered still included some nice new features (roguelike survival mode, levels removed, etc.) can justify its purchase or, in a pinch, the PS5 upgrade. However, Naughty Dog's game was not entitled to any nomination, while the rules are more lenient towards DLC, remasters and remakes, and this is not Shadow of the Erdtree who will say otherwise…
