Second favorite game that came out this year, the story and characters really drew me in and I loved how Remedy tied in the live action cut-scenes to actual gameplay. The only negative I felt the game had was some instances of gameplay, it can be kinda buggy and loose, reloading for example can be really wonky sometimes. 9.5/10

Warm take: Remake games should not get nominated for goty, but okay for other awards
@arpadszabo661
8 ай бұрын
I agree. Personally, my favourite game of the year is RE4 remake and it’s not even close. But that game wasn’t built up from the ground like BG3 or Alan Wake 2, etc. That game was already done, they just changed a story a little bit to not make Ashley obnoxious and to cut the way too nonsensical stuff out, they made the controls and the graphics better and that’s it. That’s not the same amount of effort as making a whole new game. Since it’s remake paradise out there these days, i would be fine for a different category for them, since they do deserve some recognition if the game is great, but not game of the year.

@@arpadszabo661 if it should or should not be nominated for GOTY awards is a debate for another time & imo both sides are pretty valid. But the fact you say that it just upgraded the controls & graphics and isn’t built up from the ground is completely wrong. As someone who loves the original, the remake not only has the spirit of the original, but it improves upon in every single way. The level & area design is completely different in the remake than it was in the original, there is A LOT more freedom to backtrack in the remake with a lot more open areas & hubs especially towards the end of the game, there is the whole addition of stealth in the remake, addition of requests, not to mention the complete upgrade of the gameplay & mechanics, which at the same time feel authentic yet also feel completely different. And the characters & environments feel tense. The chracters feel much more human & realistic. And it’s not that, the original is old, characters do feel authentic in many old games as well, Silent Hill 2 is a big example. But in the remake they do, Leon’s one liners now instead of being corny & stylish remarks like the original, are him coping with his situation & how much fcked he is. And you already mentioned the complete 180 they did on Ashley while still maitaining a little of the vibe from the original, but now she’s not just a bratty little kid, she actually acts like a mildly mature teenager. I really hope that didn’t come off as harsh or anything but what I just mean is that Resident Evil 4 Remake not only builds on the groundwork laid by the original, it improves & in many ways modifies the groundwork as well.

@@SteveSamson15 sure it improves stuff and changes stuff, but its still not something that’s built from the ground. They already had the groundwork laid out for them. Some places have more details, changed layouts, but some of them are nicer looking copypastes of something that already exists. Same with the story. It’s improved in some places, but the effort that goes into that is still not the same as creating it from 0. Everything that exists in the game, even if its improved, is just built on top of something they already made almost 2 decades ago. And again it is my personal goty, but for the sake of the devs who obviously had to put more effort into creating a whole new game, i wouldn’t give the award to a remake.

@@arpadszabo661 My reply wasn’t even about that. Idc if remakes are nominated or not tbh. The setting & story is the same yes I’m not saying it isn’t. But the game is actually built from the ground up. It does use the groundwork laid by the original, of course, I’m not denying it, but it not only improves it, it modifies the groundwork as well. The level & area design of the regions is completely different, it adds stealth as a whole new mechanic, gives a lot more freedom for backtracking etc. I’m saying that. It is up there with FF7R & RE2 Remake imo, in terms of not only doing justice & having the spirit of the original, but also improving & modifying the groundwork laid by the original in the best way possible. Now remakes like The Last of Us, yeah those are glorified graphical overhauls disguised as full remakes. And RE4 Remake is NOT that. It’s a proper, well done remake, that keeps the spirit of the original, and modifies & improves upon what the original accomplised in the best way possible. And as for being considered for GOTY, I personally have no problem with remakes being considered, cause TV & movie remakes/reboot are also considered and it shouldn’t be any different for games imo. But I also think thinking they shouldn’t be is also really really valid. Well at the end of the day, all that matters is that 2023 was an incredible year for games where we got a lot of great games like Baldur’s Gate 3, Alan Wake 2, RE4 Remake, Lies of P, Hi-Fi Rush, Jedi Survivor, FFXVI, Spider-Man 2 Tears of The Kingdom, Mario Wonder, Armored Core etc. So the biggest winners here are us gamers haha.

Actually people who "hate" Alan Wake 2 don't even realize how huge the difference there is compared to Spiderman 2 and Baldur'sgate 3. BUDGET. Remedy's budget is "small" compared to many other AAA games and Remedy's isn't that big. Remedy relies mostly to narrative, atmosphere and art direction. Also it tells alot that AMC has already bought the rights to make tv series. People doesn't understand HOW HARD is to lip sync. Ilkka Villi, Peter Franzen and Sam Lake are Finnish = lip syncing and native speaking person, otherwise it would sound just bad if most of the main characters would have Finnish accents. Actually Hard and Nightmare difficulty levels have less ammo etc. Actually "musical" section basically tells the whole Alan Wake story.

Loved your video! I have my own game theories as to why games like Jedi Survivor and Hi-Fi Rush and Lies of P were skipped over for nominations. Jedi Survivor launched broken and had its reputation ruined. Hi-Fi had a near silent release (and it was a rhythm game, those don’t usually get nominated.) Lies of P was probably skipped because it was made by a smaller studio in comparison to Nintendo and Remedy. Most important of all though the game of the year award isn’t awarded to the “best game” it’s awarded to most innovative. Jedi was a sequel that was basically the same game and last time. Lies is based on an already existing game and didn’t give any big new features. And Hi-Fi is a rhythm game (those don’t usually get nominated).

What makes this AW2 story even more intriguing is the fact the game is part of RCU just like Spider-Man is part of MCU. Control's AWE DLC (kzitem.info/news/bejne/xaB-naVpqJmSjKg) ended setting up Alan Wake II and one of the Alan Wake II DLCs (Lake House?) will set up Control 2. Never been so stoked about a game like Control 2. Control part 1 was already pretty amazing (and still is) and now they have managed to double the budget for the part 2. That is yet another reason to play Alan Wake II and its DLCs... because we are really not 100% sure wtf is going on in Control either lol.

First time I saw the gameplay, the first thing that really, REALLY bothered me was Saga Anderson’s voice delivery. Now, Melanie Liburd did great as Saga when it comes to physical acting but the line delivery REALLY bothered me. Since Liburd is British, her native accent would slip in ever so often that it would hinder my immersion a bit when it comes to playing a character that is supposedly American. They should have either cast an American actress or let Liburd keep her natural accent. That way she could shine more. In the game her line delivery for some sections sounded flat for some reason but when it came to the live action scenes she was actually pretty amazing.

Saga was always real but things about her changed. I still don't know if Logan is alive after so many plays. I don't think she is. Scratch isn't real anymore. All the Alans are Alan. It's possible even Alan is really Zane. The Andersons have always recognized him as Zane. What i want to know is what we're the Andersons fighting with Door about in 1978, then it changed to 1988? Who changed the year? Why? To effect Saga's age? Door is Saga's father. He's also Martin Hatch from quantum break. The mysteries are meant to ponder for years between remedy games, and discover when the new one comes out.

Agreed, anyone looking at the game objectively knows this. Man2 was severely undercooked The symbiote to Venom "arc" takes place in a few days. Venom lacks depth outside of Harry. It just tries to one up the stakes just cause. Harry and Miles barely have "connection", etc Insomniac did make the game a technical marvel. Besides that because of all its issues. It really is Spider-Mid 2. No one can deny the gameplay isn't good. The game is good, just very far from a masterpiece. Doesn't mean it can't be your fav or your GOTY
