If we can't say this year is the goat year (I don't think OP meant of all time, I think he meant in terms of modern gaming, 2010s-2020, but I could be wrong), we can definitely say it's the most prolific year for quality gaming in some time.

It's interesting to see how remakes are driving the industry right now. Feels like the big gaming companies don't like to take risks with creating new IPs.

I think maybe the gaming industry is taking some cues from the music industry, or at least there are some similarities. Like record companies remaster old albums with new tech to make them hi-res (24/192 instead of 16/44). Gaming is doing the same with some classics, using new techniques to make them next gen. I think it's cool.

I think it is too but it feels like there are less new IPs, but then again maybe that's just my perception. I actually think they're taking a cue from the movie industry with remakes.

Yeah, remakes and remasters are queues from the movie industry. TBH, I don't have much issue with either, provided they're done optimally to what current technology can do and/or meshes well with the original style of the game and/or further improves/enhances it. When done those correct ways, it's truly great thing and I don't see why folks bytch about it. It's like when they modernize the bible as well, so that it can capture the current times and new generation accordingly. And for fans of the OG version, if you're the type that replays classic games every now and then, I think it's great for those folks as well, cuz you can replay them with much improved modernizations, from better gfx and voice over work, to current day conveniences like rewind features, photo modes, etc. For those that bytch about it, they simply need not buy them.

Yep, i don’t mind remakes and well done remasters. I can’t play retro games (in their original state) anymore, I’ve tried.

Yeah, I the same, with select exceptions and situations. Like, I can play certain titles on like the steam deck, but play them shyts on the big screen....nope.

I was so hype to play Valkyrie Profile, i bought it and played it for like an hour and was like naw…:camby:

And The Zodiac Age is what pretty much redeemed FF12 and made it one of my favorites in the series

that's where Gizmo fuct up. it's shaping up to be a great year, but now everyone gonna be talking about 2004 and shyt
1993 was a GOAT year of gaming

That was the first that came to mind
2004 has Metal Gear Solid 3, Halo 2, Half Life 2, GTA San Andreas, World of Warcraft, The Sims 2, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2, Ninja Gaiden all in the same year.

You honestly believe this year is better than that?
How you leave out Def Jam FFNY, Showdown Legends Of Wrestling not to mention NCAA football 2005? :gucci:
