Totally hypothetical, but let's say 2014 comes and goes and nothing but 100% pure garbage was released, of course with the exception of a remaster of an exceptional title.

Do we just give the GoTY to one of the garbage titles? Does it, by default (due to "rules" made up by people on forums) go to Carnival Games? I say this because whether people here choose to aknowledge it or not, there are people who worked hard on these remasters to make them better than they were. Nintendo and/or Sony didn't just put their game into a "Remake Maker" and "POOF!" out popped the remastered titles.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

No for both.

The only exception i would consider is a modern remake of something so old that the remake is almost like a new title. Something like Final Fantasy 6 remade as a modern 3D FF title. I'd consider that a valid GOTY nominee.

You'd be surprised.

No it shouldn't unless the remaster is one hell of a job that almost completely changes how the game is compared to the original.
