As happy and excited I am for Silent Hill 2, an 87 scored remake is probably not getting nominated. This year is proving more stacked than we initially thought. But I made a similar comment last year against RE4 lol.

I think I'm going to like SH2 Remake more than the remakes of RE2 and 4 (nothing beats RE1 Remake though).

I know I am! Which I didn't think was possible. 

It is notable that RE Village received a GOTY nomination at 84. 

And Death Stranding got it at 82. I just think being a remake lowers SH2's chances, so it needed to score even higher to compensate.

Glad you're enjoying it that much! Have you played the original?

That's a good point. The only remake that scored an 87 on MC that was nominated for GOTY was FF7 Remake. It's possible, but a low likelihood.

I did and I loved it back in the day, but it's been about 20 years since I last played the original. The presentation from what I've played so far is so much more realistic and mature than the original. The original was definitely a product of its day lol. Like the way the characters talked and acted is pretty cartoony compared to today's standards, which was one of the more immediate things I noticed. 

The RE remakes still have that campiness to them, specifically comparing RE2 since that was purely survival horror, but Bloober did a lot to try to remove that aspect of SH2, and so far, they've done a great job. This game feels like a proper modern survival horror experience.

So realistically, we are looking at:

  • Silent hill 2
  • astro bot
  • Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
  • Metaphor

and then probably a wildcard or two. (Wukong, Balatro, Animal Well, Helldivers 2, etc)

Think Zelda has a good chance to be there, as much as Silent Hill, at least.



Also, if Tekken 8 is not there, that's a crime.



My pick is Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.
