@IceClimbers TotK at the moment but I don't think it's guaranteed given Nintendo's upcoming lineup is very barren at the moment which a Direct could easily change. I've said before that I think Prime 4 will be an early 2024 release (with Prime 2 and 3 filling gaps in 2023) but if it turned out to be the big fall/holiday 2023 release instead, I could see that getting GotY over both TotK and Starfield.
@Grumblevolcano I don't think Nintendo's upcoming lineup has any bearing on whether TotK will win GOTY or not. It'll stand on it's own merit. It just comes down to whether the board that votes on the award prefers it or Starfield.
Gut feeling says it'll be Starfield.
Also if Prime 4 does make it this year, it almost certainly won't release until after the cut off date for this year's Awards.
@Grumblevolcano Prime 4 would have to be one HELL of a game in order to beat Zelda in the running for GOTY for the Game Awards and for most media outlets.
It's extremely unlikely that it beats Zelda (or Starfield) for GOTY if it's somehow eligible
Look, I'm long past the point of being upset about Microsoft era Rare, but at the same time, MAKE A NEW GAME ALREADY! IT'S 2023! DO SOMETHING ELSE!
I am very sick of every year seeing the Rare logo in these shows and it just being Sea of Thieves, again. Remember when video game devs actually made new games?
Starfield clearly deserves the game of the year awards.
I'm excited about Metroid Prime 4 but I'm 100% sure that it won't be released this year and 90% sure that it will launch after more powerful hardware is released.
Microsoft's show was awesome. Some games weren't shown but they said that more games will be shown later this year.
It's great to see Japanese support and although I'd love Banjo-Kazooie and Viva Piñata the most, these are the games that are likely in development: Gears of War 6, Doom... (more ideas, guys?) plus previously revealed State of Decay 3, Perfect Dark and Indiana Jones.
@Professor_Plumber this is Bethesda we are talking about, for me the GOTY is TOTK... Starfield looks like almost every generic open-world space game on steam, but the one thing about this is that the action looks better than those.
@Professor_Plumber I'm not particularly excited about a single game and I don't think that I'll have enough time for playing them all but from what I've seen, it's the most worthy candidate.
Just watched the latest Starfield presentation, and I think it is unbelievable how big this game is. If they can pull it off I think this game will easily be the best Bethesda game, and propably my game of the year, if I can get past the dark stuff and violence. So much freedom and customisation. It was funny that they showed the fan from Oblivion, and I learned to never take a sandwich on a spaceship.
A game like this needs great atmospheric tracks, but judging by the last Elder Scrolls games and Fallout 4, it is very likely. Seriously just strolling through the world and taking in the sights and atmosphere will be worth it.
I feel like this game will be very addicting with all the loot, plus customisations. Dogfights in space and stealing ships. Building my own spaceship. So many skills to learn. Even building my own bases. And all the exploring.
Hopefully the quests will be interesting, and I hope the bases and dungeouns (if there is something like that) will tell interesting little stories like in Fallout 4, makes exploration even more worthwhile aside from loot and experience.
Of course I am sceptical because this game seems incredibly ambitious, but I am rooting for this game.

Starfield seems to be the best reason to own an Xbox. It looks like a mashup of Elite Dangerous and No Man's Sky, but watered down for casual consumption. Should be a winner.

@Magician
Seriously, I have been thinking of getting an Xbox Series X, while watching the presentation. Buying Bethesda might have been one of their smartest moves.

Welp gonna cancel game pass for a bit. Just burning money at this point. So I will come back when Starfield drops.

I've been enjoying GP for planet of lana. I'll probably dive into chicory afterwards and play some smaller stuff until starfield. I thought about canceling but GP is great for some smaller stuff i wouldn't normally try out.
Keep believing in "generations", Jim. Keep hope alive. You're alone on that hill.
