All three big guns have GOTY competitors lined up.
We are now a few days into 2023 and we can look forward at some of the most important titles in the next twelve months. This is especially true since all three major publishers have released what they hope will become a GOTY contender. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Starfield and The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom will all be released this year. However, only one title can win the title of GOTY at the Game Awards showcase this year.
ResetEra users are arguing about which title will win the grand prize and which one is more likely to be overlooked due to the other. The site poll shows that the majority of users believe Tears of the Kingdom will win every award, though there are passionate arguments that support Starfield.
ResetEra user lost7 believes Starfield can deliver on the promise of Skyrim’s space travel, and that it could be the “game” of the century. Tears of the Kingdom might be the favorite title of fans, but Bethesda has the potential to produce a one-in-a-decade title. To see the lasting impact Skyrim made in the industry, you don’t have to count out Starfield.
Most people believe that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will be a solid title. But, they may not have the spark to challenge Starfield and Tears of the Kingdom. Even so, the 2018 GOTY nominations for the first game were beaten by Red Dead Redemption and God of War. Insomniac would have made sure that there were improvements between Spider-Man Miles Morales (now) and now. So it has definitely more than a good shot
No matter what happens in December, we can all agree 2023 is going to be one the best years of gaming. This is even without major third-party titles such as Resident Evil 4 Remake and Final Fantasy 16. Keep your fingers crossed for no delays.
