For some reason I thought Scott Pilgrim EX was a remaster of the old game I played on 360. I'm not really a big beat em up fan but I'll have to give that a look too, thanks op

 

[Deerock71]

True.. Was thinking about the Japanese launch.

 

[Polaris]

The standards are that low these days, huh?

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Hopefully the Summer show is way WAYYYYY better cause this playstation show is 1/10.

 

[Victhemic]

1998 was better.

2001 for me.

 

[Gusy]

Here come the old guys again, reminding everyone how good they had it. It's such a predictable and boring conversation.

If there are games from those years that we mentioned that you still haven't played and can still experience for the 1st time, plus the bonus of still being young...... Mi rey... you're definitely the lucky guy in this joint.

 

[analog_future]

It's been a great year but not an all-timer IMO. That's reserved for 1998, 2004, 2007, 2013, and 2017 IMO. GTA VI, Ocarina of Time Remake, and others could certainly change that though


I've loved Pragmata, 007 First Light, and RE Requiem so far. I'd say 2023 was the best year we've had in recent times (Tears of the Kingdom, Baldur's Gate 3, Silent Hill 2, Dead Space, Diablo IV, Alan Wake II, Super Mario Wonder)

 

[German Shocks]

2001 for me.

2001 was Vice City and Tony Hawk?
Sonic Adventure 2

 

[K' Dash]

Lol

 

[tr1p1ex]

You're right. Virtual Boy games on NSO have been interesting!

 

[calistan]

Interesting, I might have to look into this deeper then as I assumed this would be like Hitman which I hated.

Hitman's not really failable either. That's one of the things I love about it, you can always complete the mission even if you murder everyone in the level.

Also this year already released we have Mina the Hollower and Slay the Spire 2. No rest for the Wicked 1.0 coming in October. THis year could definitely be the best since 2020. 2023 was pretty good, I thought last 2 years were pretty lackluster.

1998 is probably the GOAT. On PC alone you have Half Life, Starcraft, and Baldurs Gate 1. That is like 3 of the top 50 games of all time right there. Metal gear Solid, Grim Fandango, Resident Evil 2, and Zelda OOT are right behind the,

I am a huge Saturn fan, but neither Panzer Dragoon Saga nor Shining Force 3 meet the heights of the previously mentioned games. They are still 9/10 games and some of the best within their own franchises. Klonoa and Thief and Tekken 3 and Colony Wars are all fantastic.

 

[{insert code here}]

We've already had Crimson Desert, 007 Firstlight, Forza Horizon 6, Mario Tennis Aces, Resi Evil Requiem, Pragmata, we've still got GTA6, MW4, Wolverine to come plus loads of unnanounced stuff, I haven't had this many games wishlisted for day 1 this entire gen, that's without annual sports releases like WWE/NBA2K/Madden/FC/NHL etc, and then things like the Rayman Legends remake, Toy Story collection, Scott Pilgrim EX, the PS5 Pro update for Cyberpunk, it's a crazy crazy year!

 

[Durin]

Not an all-timer year, but a decent one.

Capcom seems like they might have a banner year though with RE: Requiem, Pragmata, Monster Hunter Stories 3, especially if Onimusha delivers.

Mostly been backlog for me outside Forza Horizon 6, but I'll get around to Crimson Desert, 007 First Light, Pragmata, Mouse P.I. For Hire, etc. Onimusha, Witchbrook, Denshattack, Ace Combat 8, Wanderburg and Dreadmoor I'm also anticipating.

 

[mèx]

You just listed a bunch of mid/decent stuff, nothing great or groundbreaking. Next.

 

[Sohurmk833]

The year is terrible overall. The last chance i see is a banger Direct.

 

[MrRibeye]

Definitely feels like we're getting closer to the end of this generation, usually all the bangers hit at the end don't they

 

[CuteFaceJay]

Isn't this linked to social unrest and economic issues almost like clock work kinda like simulation theory. Release all the good games for a generation in the space of a year or 2 as form of distraction while the elites position them self's to pick up as much of the fractional assets as they can.

 

[Victhemic]

2001 was Vice City and Tony Hawk?
Sonic Adventure 2

- Devil May Cry

[DenchDeckard]

September is absolutely insane. Then into October.

 

[nkarafo]

OP, i'll take you weren't playing games in 1998.

 

[Bonfires Down]

Unlikely for me personally since Fable got delayed. No joke.

Also, Mario… Tennis? To each their own but eeh.

 

[WX3]

Yea if you're two.

 

[MarV0]

You can't have an all-timer year with games on their 6th iteration. AAA industry is sick and creatively bankrupt.

 

[Guilty_AI]

You forgot Highguard

 

[Instant_Classic]

I raise a 2007 to your 2026

That one is going to be forever hard to top

This was the year where modern gaming as we know it, truly began.

Absolutely incredible time for sure.
