During the Game Awards, Geoff Keighley became emotional while announcing a sequel to the classic game Okami, directed by Hideki Kamiya. The original Okami, released in 2006, is celebrated for its unique art style and gameplay, despite not being a commercial success. The sequel signifies Capcom's attempt at redemption and recognition of Okami's enduring appeal, as well as a nod to the artistic ambitions of Japanese game studios during that era.
The Game Awards 2024, airing on December 12, is set to feature two major announcements that insiders claim will astonish fans. Journalist Jason Schreier hinted at big reveals, possibly for games releasing in 2026 or later, while VGC's Andy Robinson also fueled the excitement. Speculations include a Bloodborne PC port, Days Gone Remastered, or even Half-Life 3.
The Game Awards 2024 has clarified that DLCs, expansions, remakes, and remasters are eligible for nominations, including Game of the Year, just days before the nominations are announced. This update, which was not previously clear, may affect the inclusion of content like Elden Ring's DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, although many voters may have already submitted their ballots without considering such content. The timing of this rule clarification raises questions about its impact on the nomination process.
