Black Myth: Wukong has won the GOTY, the most prestigious award, and three more awards at The Thailand Game Awards 2024.
After a magnificent 20-year tenure with Sony Interactive Entertainment, Phil Rosenberg, SVP of Global Partner Development and Relations, recently announced that he is bidding adieu at the end of 2025. Phil has been a stalwart and integral part of growing the PlayStation brand and, along with this team, has worked tirelessly over the years to ensure all gamers enjoy a vibrant experience on a variety of PlayStation products.
It's pure speculation on behalf of the author of this opinion piece and it hold no weight at all.
@lukasmain
Im curious how you can make that comment when he specifically mentions Blackmyth? No weight at all? Either...
A. You can't read
B. You're letting blind loyalty take point
C. You just didn't read it
D. You're trolling
He never suggested a special exclusivity deal. Far from it. The author is just speculating.
@Main I quoted Rosenberg at the bottom he said it himself on the interview that him and guys go out and find hidden gems. This interview wouldn't mean much but Black Myth was supposed to release simultaneously along with the Xbox version unfortunately, it didn't. Got taken off and GS said it was the S. MS said there was a deal in place. If he's going out and finding niche or "hidden gems" BMW should of released only on PS5 since its considered a hidden gem that could only be played on PS console just like the rest of the other games he mentioned. The game was announced awhile ago as a multiplat. The S of late has been holding its own with third party and 1st party games. It's also clear that the S did have issues for awhile also and maybe GS really can't optimize for the console. I'm just exploring every possibility.
Hmm, I dunno at the end of the day. The S has been performing well optimization wise lately. I dunno it's hard to tell anymore what's, what.
There is no way in high hell Sony would pay money for this, something so successful and not advertise it as an exclusive console game. There's just no way, they've done it for everything else, why would they not do it for this.
It's people who can't let a story go, there's no deal, they just probably supported a new Chinese studio with their China Hero Project and give them tools to help develop on their console. If Microsoft came along and offered them the same tools early on for their console I'm sure Sony wouldn't bat an eyelid.
Sony took a chance on a new studio early on and they benefitted from it, that's their reward.

Ninja Theory's Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 is the most-nominated game at this year's BAFTA Games Awards, with 11 nominations.
However, the Cambridge-based studio's action-adventure game has missed out on a Best Game nomination; instead the nominees are Black Myth: Wukong, Helldivers 2, Thank Goodness You're Here!, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Astro Bot, and Balatro.
And we would’ve getaway with it if it wasn’t for those pesky kids games.
Congrats to NT on their 11 nominations I wish them good luck 👍👍
Beautiful game, love the series, and the character!
Well crafter and well done.
Good. The game is unique, heartfelt, and beautiful. Yes, the mechanics are rather simplistic. But the teams dedication to storytelling is on full display. It's definitely not for everyone, but it won't disappoint those who appreciate video games that push the boundaries of the medium.
More like pushes the boundary of how short a game can be while still charging fifty quid
Love the game. Beautiful looking, game play was solid and it didn't over stay it's welcome.
Good game with the best graphics and animation I've seen this gen. They need to focus more on the gameplay though if there is HB3.
The finalists of the 25th annual Game Developers Choice Awards have been revealed, with Astro Bot and Black Myth: Wukong tied with the most nominations at seven each.
How can they have the game of the year awards this early in the year? All the major releases of the year aren't even out yet.
yet it will probably get shunned over here in December, my personal GOTY with Metaphor as close second
Sonic1881 might be doing backflips right now.
Congrats to BMW. If Metaphor doesn't even get a nomination in the West, we riot.
Deserved!
It's also clearly the best game of the year. But do you guys not think it's going to Win the overall best GOTY? Because of Politics?
