I wouldn't be surprised if it's a launch title, given the fact that Bluepoint was explicitly named in the Wired article.

Well, this is what an NPD analist says. Hosting your own event whenever you want is probably just as effective, if not more so.

Demon's Souls remake. As for E3: It's dead, Jim.

New PS sales update:

Nope.

No, development on that started not too long ago after Retro took over.

Game of the Year A1. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - From's best combat system to date, tied to their best traversal yet. Level design is excellent as usual and the boss fights are top notch. Add superb aninimation, interesting lore and a great soundtrack and you have the best game of the year. A2. Control - I really enjoyed this. With RTX on and all the physics stuf going on around you, this is probably the most next-gen game yet. It's a blast to play too, with fun combat and lots of optional stuff to explore. It's delightfully weird in places and the Ashtray Maze is one of the gaming highlights of 2019. A3. Resident Evil 2 - Could have been a GotY contender if the later areas were as good as the police station. As it is, it's still an excellent game. A4. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - A bit rough in places but luckily I didn't have too many problems on PC. Yes, it steals from multiple games, but it does it well enough to still be a blast. It also really nails that Star Wars vibe. A5. Katana Zero - Short but sweet. I love the kill in one hit, die in one hit system, the pixel art is stunning and the music slaps. Biggest Disappointment of the Year (game, hardware, or anything else) Z1. Z2. Z3. Z4. Z5. Sound Design of the Year S1. Sayonara Wild Hearts S2. Katana Zero S3. Sekiro Visual Design of the Year V1. Sekiro V2. Resident Evil 2 V3. DMC 5 Writing of the Year W1. Sekiro W2. W3. Gaming Format (System) of the Year F1. PC Publisher or Developer of the Year P1. Capcom Best Supported Game (released pre 2019) of the Year B1. Your game of the year that didn't come out this year (basically what is your favourite game you played this year that came out in 2018 or earlier) X1. Titanfall 2 (completed it this year and it's bloody ace) Best game character of the year C1. Casper Darling (Control) C2. Ahti (Control) C3. Emma (Sekiro) Game of the Decade D1. Bloodborne D2. Dark Souls D3. Astro Bot D4. Dead Space 2 D5. Prey D6. Sekiro D7. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze D8. Super Mario 3D World D9. The Last Guardian D10. The Witness

I got some things right. Sekiro did very well, both critically and commercially. Not sure it'll be EDGE's GotY, but it is winning major GotY awards, so there's that. Was sort of right about the next-gen stuff, even though MS's Game Awards showing wasn't a complete blow-out. Was right about Death Stranding, TLoU2 and Ghost of Tsushima. Was right about DMC 5 and Bayo 3. Was half right about WD3. Was kinda right about Crackdown 3 and Rage 2 bombing I think? Was wrong about the rest. You could say Days Gone underperformed, but only critically, not commercially. Still think a couple of my predictions will happen, just not this year.

Elden Ring, Nioh 2, RE3, Cyberpunk, DOOM Eternal, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Bayonetta 3, The Last of Us 2, System Shock 3, Half Life: Alyx, Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course, Everspace 2 and Somerville. Would love to see more of Deathloop and Ghostwire Tokyo.

Those reviews. Can't wait. I've rewatched the first two seasons and am now on the third. I hope that one day, we'll get the spin-off adventures of

Qloc did Dark Souls, not Bluepoint.
