Looks like Indiana Jones running on Steam Deck is out of the question. These requirements are INSANE. Guess I’ll play it on PS5, at least this means it’s gonna look great.

Even the minimum? That sucks.

Guess I’m waiting for a miracle Switch 2 port from Panic Button like they did for both Dooms and Wolfenstein 2 on the OG Switch. This will probably be the case for Doom: The Dark Ages as well.

Yikes lol.

Needless to say I removed it from my wishlist. Instead I’m going to my PC gaming friend to help me get Emperor’s Tomb emulated on my Deck.

SAY IT AIN’T SO!!!!

Last year I got Jurassic Park Survival, this year Turok Origins. Both from Saber. My Dinosaur loving heart is eating good right now.

Is it blasphemous if the only Turok game I’ve played is Evolution on the GameCube? The “bad one?” Lol.

Astro Bot winning Game of the Year is a complete shock. The guy thanking Nintendo for inspiring them was heartwarming. I really want this game on my Steam Deck.

No Half-Life 3. I don’t know, this was the most likely it’s ever been. I didn’t reallyyy expect it but I kinda believed

TGA with The Witcher 4, Okami 2, Onimusha, RGG Double-house (VF and Century) and Josef "F The Oscars" Fares is a great set of announcements.

It’s definitely coming I think based on Half Life Alyx. Thankfully I’ll likely have plenty of time to play the first two before then lol. I got them both when 2 was recently free and 1 was only $1. I’ve also got Portal 1+2 waiting that only cost me $1.50.

One more thing about Astro Bot winning, I hope this wakes up the rest of the industry to stop leaving like 99% of platformers to Nintendo and indies. Put the right teams behind them and you’ll have success.

I'd argue something bigger; it highlights the lack of a need to spend massive bucks on a game budget when spending the time to invest in smaller teams dedicated to their craft could allow more potential.

This was probably the best TGA ever. The announcements were insane and just kept coming. I want to play like half of the games that were revealed.

Turok is probably the “big one” for me and it’s not really like I’m hugely hyped it just looks cool. I don’t really like having a backlog which I actually have to get through for the first time now so I’m pretty selective overall in adding to it. I am curious about trying out Okami HD now that I see a sequel is coming since I hear it’s a great Zelda-like experience. Although there wasn’t much specifically for me I knew the importance of all of these big surprises since I greatly enjoy watching YouTube retrospectives on various game franchises especially ones with a passionate fan base that’s just waiting for their favorites to return. I got so happy for Onimusha even though it’s something I’ll likely not touch myself. As a Metroid fan, I understand these feelings all too well lol.

Compiling the announcements--it absolutely is the best TGA they've done. It's genuinely kind of nuts how much was here tonight.

• Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound
• The Witcher 4
• Elden Ring Co-Op Game
• The Outer Worlds 2 Gameplay/Window
• Virtua Fighter Next by RGG
• Project Century by RGG (1910's Yakuza)
• Project Robot by Fumito Ueda/Team ICO
• Dispatch
• Split Fiction
• Onimusha: Way of The Sword
• Okami 2
• TLOU2 & FFVIIRebirth on PC
• Sonic Racing: Crossworlds
• New Turok
• Thick as Thieves
• Intergalactic

It's genuinely insane how much there was tonight, and it's great to see them stepping up on the overall show quality. The inclusion of The Muppets is also the strongest it has been period.

I am so happy Astro Bot won GOTY.

This game gave me a level of joy I haven't gotten from playing a video game since I was a kid - I was smiling ear to ear through the entirety of my playthrough. I imagine we will probably see a sequel at some point, and hopefully we continue to get small updates/DLC.

Very intrigued by Intergalactic - Naughty Dog has earned my faith no matter what they decide to put out next.

In terms of announcements, well in all honesty there was a lot of good ones!

For me, Okami 2 was a massive one. Not just because the first game is really good, but with a revived Clover Studio in the form of Clovers, one can't help but wonder what the future might bring, and if it also brings a new Viewtiful Joe, I am ALL for that.

Okami HD is currently on sale for $5 and according to DekuDeals (the site I use to track eShop sales) this is the lowest it’s ever been. Definitely low enough for me to finally give a try and see what the hype is about so I bought it.

I remember enjoying the original Okami on Wii, but I never ended up finishing it. It definitely takes a lot influence from classic 3D Zelda games. I also might pick it up at that price.

I need some classic 3D Zelda. I still haven’t gone back to TotK and I think I’m losing all interest to.

Same, played like 500 hours of BOTW when the Switch first came out but I never got past the final dungeon where you build the robot in TOTK. Idk why, but I just didn’t have any interest in finishing it.
