I'd bet my entire life savings (about $3) that a bunch of hogs made a concentrated effort to get the Blood Libel Game(TM) nominated. There's no chance it wins against BG or LC but its still bizarre to see
also Starfield got a nom for "Most Innovative Gameplay"
RE4 was pretty great.
Maybe but I don't think remakes should ever be nominated, no matter how different they are to the original
I disagree with this heavily. If its a top down rebuild with none or few of the original assets then its a new game. Games like RE4 remake and FF7 remake dont take any less time and effort to make than a sequel, so its no different to me.
Now something like Star Ocean 2 R, yeah thats not a ground up remake so its not to be considered.
Is the new RE4 different? That game takes me back to freshmen year of college.
