The highly prestigious end-of-year gaming awards take place on December 8 and Sony Santa Monica’s new Norse mythology adventure leads the way with ten nominations – including Game of the Year, Game Direction and Best Narrative

Elden Ring and Horizon Forbidden West also feature in the top categories, while the sleeper hit Stray (6 nominations), A Plague Tale: Requiem (5) and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (3) feature in amongst the most-nominated games.

gamers especially, who haven’t had much in the way of massive original releases to choose from – especially on the Xbox side of things.

The PS5 clearly had the better year, with two of the best games nominated here exclusive to the platform and created in-house by Sony.

Another day, another thread.

Holy shit, seems like people are finally waking up and seeing through Phil’s empty promises. Let’s hope that they deliver in 2023, for their sake.

 

[Abriael_GN]

"highly prestigious"?

 

[Bonfires Down]

yay more console wars can’t wait because i’m 12

 

[Lone Wolf]

I think we are all well aware of the situation. 2022 wasnt great for Xbox. Still used the consoles quite a bit.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

 

[Spyxos]

Yeah, Xbox really need some games.

 

[LordCBH]

I just want Microsoft to show me fable and avowed. That’s all I want to see.

 

[Gudji]

Pentiment got robbed.

 

[Jet Set Willy]

GOWR and HFW were both 2021 games originally - not sure about GT7?

I wonder what Sony actually had planned for this year, because it would have been a little sparse without those delays.

On the flipside, MS' only two big games for 2022 got delayed to 2023.

MS is still in a difficult spot but with so many games in development they must be going to explode with content at some point.

Imagine not owning both systems in 2022 and then engaging in console warring.

[Punished Miku]

Pentiment got robbed.

Stray was just too good

 

[Trogdor1123]

2022 on Xbox seemed ok to me. It’s not like there wasn’t a load of good games on both units

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

And here I thought Neo was supposed to be above the petty console wars bullshit, but all I'm seeing lately here are a bunch of Sony circle jerking threads.

I hope you're ready to wait a while longer, both were announced with a CG trailer at a MS event. You know what that means.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

The fact that Horizon 2 was nominated renders TGA list irrelevant.

 

[SlimySnake]

PS4*

PS4 battered Xbox in 2022.

 

[reinking]

Imagine not owning both systems in 2022 and then engaging in console warring.

I own both and still fall victim now and then.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

For some reason when I saw this headline I imagined an Xbox dipped in funnel cake batter, deep fried, and served with some chocolate syrup and whipped cream.

 

[Killer8]

Does anyone seriously care about the Game Awards?

 

[bentanchorbolt]

I own both and still fall victim now and then.

It's okay because you do it out of spite not to make yourself feel better.

Damn skippy.

 

[feynoob]

solidus12 when would you take a break from those baited posts?

I guess, this should make up for the "2021 publisher of the year award".

when PlayStation wins 2022 Metacritic’s publisher of the year award.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Isn’t the next big game at least half a year away? It’s not like most of their 2023 will be much better

 

[ungalo]

no shit

The thing is, despite that, 2023 doesn't even look better on Xbox than on Playstation. Depending on if FF16 and Forspoken are true or long exclusive deals or not. Sony always have third party games backing up. I hope Microsoft will have one more "major" game they can slip through for 2023.

All of that being said, most Sony first party games don't interest me so that doesn't really matter to me, i just want Microsoft to actually start their generation, it's getting absurd. Luckily there's good third party to come on Gamepass.

They have like 4+ big games.
Early 2023 Starfield, redfall, motorsport. Hell blade 2 and what they have for fall 2023.

 

[TheGodfather07]

Good thing they have starfield. It's just what they need. A big single player game.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

They have like 4+ big games.

If Starfield is done right I am putting crazy hours into that game and already know I will be playing the next Forza a ton

Same here.

 

[Banjo64]

Yeah. We know.

it upsets me that people sleep on AOE 2&4 - I know they aren’t traditional console games but as someone who doesn’t own a PC but loves RTS games I’ll be picking up a kb&m for those 2 (and FM2023).

 

[Gaiff]

Don't think Hellblade 2 was confirmed for 2023. It could but it could also come out in 2024.

 

[Raonak]

The Xbox One part II

 

[M1chl]

Did you cum writing that?

 

[GhostOfTsu]

The trio O Ozriel , adamsapple and DarkMage619 just got the call from the PR and damage control dept. Good luck with your thread

 

[feynoob]

It is 2023 title. The one that would be delayed to 2024 would be avowed.
If they delay it to 2024, then MS its a bad outlook for MS.
They need a 2023 big title, aside of 2022 delayed games.

 

[Whitecrow]

Some people see what others dont.

 

[Captain Toad]

I thought we had to pretend everything is equal no matter how much higher quality one platform has been.

 

[LordCBH]

[Captain Toad]

Don't think Hellblade 2 was confirmed for 2023. It could but it could also come out in 2024.

I would hope it was 23. Wasn't that the first game ever announced for the system?

Now that you mention it, I did find a spot in my underwear

 

[LiquidMetal14]

This is huge

 

[Syphon Filter]

I think Sony could have done better too, Horizon 2 is the only game that I care for from them.

 

[A.Romero]

Who cares. Both are making money so it means they continue in business and making games.

It's best to have a diverse market, people should appreciate that.

 

[Kataploom]

Another thread ignoring that Xbox strength are not the same than PS strength... Damn I know, exclusives and everything you want, I love Nintendo and know what having exclusives feels, but Xbox is a different type of machine for a different type of consumers than PS, not that they don't need exclusive, but they can rely on them way less and keep a decent amount of marketshare, that's what they've done and has worked so far, the marketshare ratio isn't nearly the same than on previous gen

 

[alabtrosMyster]

Imagine not owning both systems in 2022 and then engaging in console warring.

Why would someone that already have a PS5 buy any xbox in 2022? What would have caused somebody who did not already really want one to decide to want one in the last year?

I just don't see why that would have happened... The other way around? sure, I can give you plenty of arguments in the form of a list of top tier games that are nowhere else.
