1. The Last of Us
2. GTA V
3. Bioshock: Infinite

Ezz20133960d ago

GTAV will have to do alot to beat this gem "the last of us"

i hope it don't win GOTY or get great reviews just because it have "GTA" on it

it have to be great game that deserve the scores and awards

x5exotic3960d ago

Like how TLOU got great reviews because it has 'naughty dog' on it.
Yeah, wouldn't like that.

BlindGuardian3960d ago

I think Metro Last Light should be on that list, higher than Tomb Raider but lower than the other three

goldwyncq3960d ago

Based on reviews, TLOU already defeated Bioshock Infinite. Let's see if GTA V can surpass both games.

Kanzes3960d ago (Edited 3960d ago )

GTA IV still the highest rated game in metacritic (99%) I'm sure they will won GOTY again this year

ZodTheRipper3960d ago

Now seriously, does anyone here think that GTA 4 is a 99/100 game? It was great but it was a 9 at the very most for me.

Wigriff3952d ago

I agree zod. It was a fun game, but GTA IV did have its flaws – like the fact that it controlled like complete ass.

Oh, and...

"Hey cousin! Would you like to go bowling?" hehe

thezeldadoth3960d ago

shooter, shooter, and shooter. This is the problem with games these days.

goldwyncq3960d ago

None of those are purely shooters though.

thezeldadoth3960d ago

bioshock would have been almost a perfect game if not for the same old shooter sections. I thought the game was so innovative at first, then i started shooting boring enemies for hours, and it went downhill from there. i wish games could innovate in storytelling with innovative gameplay mechanics on top of it. games break up the flow with forced sections of shooting countless enemies.

Kanzes3960d ago (Edited 3960d ago )

you're wrong if you think Bioshock is 'another FPS'

same thing apply to The Last of Us and GTA V

3-4-53960d ago

FPS games aren't they problem. They are popular because it's easy to jump into a game and see some action for 10-30 min and have fun.

The problem is when people in a position of power to make the choice to try something new....when those people decide not to and they decide to just do what everyone else is doing....

^ That is the problem.

You then get watered down versions of everything.

It's not just in gaming though, it's in the real world.

Watch when something gets popular or a little buzz suddenly everybody "has to do it".

Those choices are made by out of touch rich arrogant idiots without a creative bone in their body.

People at the top aren't creative, they live off of our creativeness and when we create something new and awesome, they are the leeches that swarm in to cash in on it.

x5exotic3960d ago

@goldwynq, which makes them all the more half-assed.

I totally agree with the list, but GTA isn't released yet

ZodTheRipper3960d ago

Judging by the first half of the year, TLOU seems to take the crown. But I'm expecting a lot from GTA5, too. As of now, I think it will be between those 2 games in the end.

Ground zeroes
Last of us
GTAV
Lords of shadows 2

morganfell3960d ago

Apparently the word semester is a mystery to some people...

Kanzes3960d ago (Edited 3960d ago )

what's up with the 'disagree'? every person got their own GOTY list. Even I think MGS V will not release this year

Yui_Suzumiya3960d ago

The Last of Us
BioShock Infinite
Beyond: Two Souls
Tomb Raider
Metro: Last Light

generalthadeape3960d ago (Edited 3960d ago )

Shouldn't that be first "Quarter" instead of "Semester?

"Semester" just sounds strange to me-- hmmm.

x5exotic3960d ago

It's freaking June; I think that's longer than a quarter.

The Last Of Us Series Has Remarkable Potential For Spin-Offs

Najam from eXputer writes "It's time fore a new installment in the series, not another pointless remaster."

anast76d ago

They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.

AlterRecs73d ago

I think this is in response to them releasing a remaster for the sequel, a game that didn't need a remaster.

Basically a "why did you put out a remaster no one asked for when you have all there options available"

anast73d ago

They remaster is to put out something quick while they are deving new stuff. I don't get how people can be so static.

AlterRecs72d ago

There's no news about a third game being in production, you're just assuming that they're working on something that they aren't

anast72d ago

When they release the news to start the hype-train, you can give me my props then.

DrDoomer76d ago

I want an alternate timeline spin-off, where part 2 never happened.

CrimsonWing6976d ago

They’ve already done Remasters of 1 and 2… what else is there to Remaster?

AlterRecs73d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6973d ago

That was a Remake. I guess they could do that to 2, but man…. They should wait a couple generations so it can look like a major upgrade.

Where the Heck is Ni No Kuni 3, Mun?

Matt from We Game Daily writes: "Cross Worlds isn’t going away. It’s making a small fortune, particularly in Asian markets, so there’s no reason for Level-5 to pull the plug. That said, there’s no real reason why a full PC/console sequel can’t be developed alongside efforts to support Cross Worlds."

Relientk7794d ago

While Ni no Kuni 3 would be cool, if it was like the first game, where is Dark Cloud 3 and Rogue Galaxy 2?

phoenixwing94d ago

I thought the dev recently went mobile and Japan only. They shut down their American offices. So don't expect anything for consoles

shinoff218394d ago (Edited 94d ago )

I swear they just announced a few new games.

https://www.nintendolife.co...

phoenixwing93d ago

I stand corrected then. Never heard about these games and also i just remember ni no kuni online being mobile only.

Michiel198993d ago

they said a loooooong time ago that Level 5 was working on a new installment but there has been no news since afaik. I just hope that they take more inspiration from 1 than 2, especially when it comes to the story.

thorstein93d ago

Ni No Kuni Cross Worlds is the mobile game you're thinking of.

It looks amazing but I don't like to play mobile games.

Yeah the sequel was okay but had nothing on the first game, especially the battle system.

The story just didn't have that charm and even the twist at the end of the game wasn't really anything cool like Wrath of the White Witch.

Also the fact there was like ZERO mention of Oliver or his adventures in the game, no references, nothing was such weird. It's set a hundred or so years after but still, I'd have expected to seen some throw backs. I think we just got like a temple with his statue in it or something.

goldwyncq93d ago

If you want more Oliver, just watch the movie.

shinoff218394d ago

Fking word. I've been hoping for this for quite some time.

melons93d ago

The premium games didn't sell amazingly, right?

shinoff218393d ago

Not to sure. They should of though. They were pretty good. I like both.

Michiel198993d ago

yeah, especially outside of japan. They should have released on pc at the same time as the ps3 version or a short time after.

Inverno93d ago

They should've worked with Ghibli to put out a proper movie. Should've also made a Pokemon-esque spin-off rather than make Yokai Watch. If they do make a third game they gotta work with Ghibli!
