The Game Awards are always an exciting event, with plenty of potential for major news from both Sony and Nintendo. This year, however, I'm not so sure. Sony's reluctance to make major announcements this year suggests that we won't be hearing about the Switch 2 at the event.
Nintendo, however, are a different kettle of fish. They may well choose to end the year with a bang, using The Game Awards to reveal the new console to over 100 million viewers. With the Xbox Series X/S being announced at the event last year, it's certainly not out of the question.
The discussion about Spider-Man 2's cost highlights why I'm still a fan of physical copies. You can pre-order the disc from Amazon at a reduced price, and you can expect further discounts from outlets such as Currys and Asda. Plus, once you're done playing, you can trade it in at a CeX.
I recently purchased the premier edition upgrade of Forza Motorsport and have been pleasantly surprised. The graphics and sound are a massive improvement on the last game, and the level-up system is incredibly addictive. I'm glad I didn't cave in to the temptation to buy the PS5 when Gran Turismo was released, as Forza Motorsport more than meets my expectations.
The possibility of a gaming industry crash is a scary one, but in the long run, it could bring about the much needed single format. It's time for these companies to put gamers' interests first, and the single format would make the whole industry much more streamlined.
The Last Of Us Part 2 is a game that's close to perfect - I can't think of anything that could have been done better. The story from two perspectives was a great idea, and I'm certainly keen for more from Naughty Dog. An official remaster of the game would be a great way of keeping us entertained until Part 3 is released.
It seems like the gaming industry is at a crossroads. With the announcement of The Game Awards on December 7th, many people are wondering if Sony and Nintendo will take the opportunity to make a big reveal. It's almost certain that Sony won't make a move, but who can predict what Nintendo has planned? Could this be the last chance for a Switch 2 reveal?
The Game Awards are a perfect chance to make a big splash, as over 100 million people watched the show last year. This is a massive audience that can't be overlooked. It could be the perfect opportunity for Nintendo to end the year with a bang and announce the Switch 2.
The Reader's Feature about Spider-Man 2 and the debate about physical vs digital was a great example of why physical is still the preferred option. The digital version costs £70, but if you pre-order the physical version from Amazon or Currys, you can get it much cheaper. Plus, you can trade it in when you're done playing. That's a great way to save money, and the debate about physical vs digital continues.
I recently upgraded to the premier edition of Forza Motorsport, and I'm glad I did. The gameplay is excellent, both single-player and multiplayer, and the graphics and sound are top of the line. The level system is also addicting and allows you to upgrade your cars in a unique way. It's certainly worth the upgrade.
The gaming industry crashing out might not be the worst thing for the industry. Yes, the human cost would be horrendous, but in the long run, this could bring about the single format that we all need. Not only would this make the industry more efficient, but it would also help gamers who are struggling to remember which button does what on different controllers.
Finally, one thing that really grinds my gears is when game developers make DLC and then sell it as a full game for the same price. This is exactly what happened with Modern Warfare 3 and the Assassin's Creed Mirage. I'm not against paying full price for a game, but I'm not going to buy Call Of Duty Day One until after Christmas.
It's clear that gamers are passionate about the gaming industry, and it's great to see that GC keeps up with the latest news. I'm especially excited about the possibility of a Last Of Us Part 3. The Last Of Us games are some of the best I've ever played, and I'd love to see what Naughty Dog could do with a Part 3.
In conclusion, December 7th is an important date for the gaming industry. With so many people watching The Game Awards, it could be the perfect chance for Nintendo to make a big reveal. Who knows, maybe this is the last chance for a Switch 2 reveal? We'll just have to wait and see.
