right up there with IGN's or Kotaku's in terms of relevancy

He isn't taking being a former PlayStation employee well.

Doesn't surprise me. He talked at length about being old enough to really love the Sagan / NASA vibes in Starfield, so I'm sure Indie is a long forgotten favorite IP of his. Its a fantastic game.
I do think that a lot of designers are going to be massively appreciating the game since it breaks a lot of ground on not playing into ludonarrative dissonance. You're an archeologist and adventurer good guy, and you actually play as that in the gameplay the entire time. You're not murdering tons of people and doing Tomb Raider jumps. They cracked the code on making a gameplay loop that really fits the character.

The effort to make this game WAY more than what it actually is...

So which one gets the whip when they fuck?

It’s a great game, but it’s an incredible Indiana Jones story/movie/thing. I suspect most people giving this GOTY are big Indy fans, or at least thrilled that a new Indy entry wasn’t dogshit.
I give the game itself like an 8.5/10, though. It was really good.

After all that Sweet Baby Inc/DEI bullshit crusade the main grifter is enjoying something they worked on? Fucking hilarious.

well, considering he mentions indiana jones and the great circle & elden ring, he obviously loves games that are charming, wholesome fun for the whole family...

I'm genuinely baffled by people like this. If you play most AAA FPS/Third person games and consume all that slop. How can you not play Indiana and appreciate what a breath of absolute fresh air it is?
Well done machine games.

This guy loves the clicks and hyperbole.

Hey Jaffe,
But seriously though. Even making fun of these woke white people in the entertainment industry is no longer fun. Now I just pity them their unhinged lunacy and insanity. I do not know if it because I am in the unique position of being mixed race and able to see all the stupidity in several different ways, or of these people really are just that crazy now, or both. Either way, I hope this guy and others like him eventually get the help they so desperately need.

They have 6-7 games coming out next year. The release cadence is coming into place. Quality is also there.

They have Fable and Doom and a bunch of smaller, AA type games. Should be a good year? I dunno what that has to do with the competition though, they also have great stuff. Not sure why Jaffe felt the need to highlight that since he's not dumb as to the expected lineups.

Every nobody gets there own GOTY thread now? The old deranged clown needs to crawl back under the rock he came out from.

He's just repeating what he's said for years. His theory has been that GP is great but they haven't sold the full potential of the vision yet. The full potential according to Jaffe is frequent releases, and high quality releases. Eventually, it just becomes a bit overwhelming and starts to crowd out other publishers. 2025 is starting to feel a tiny bit like that for fans of GP. When you list it all out, its already immense. If Oblivion remake is real, that's 7 1st party games next year not including Replaced, Citizen Sleeper, Eternal Strands, Mixtape, Clair Obscura, Alters and more. And now we're seeing the quality bar raising as well.
He's not saying they are stronger than PS. He's saying MS is finally hitting their potential just slightly for the 1st time as a publisher.

The GamePass experiment is over. For those that like sub services, it's good for next year, but it's not going to take the industry by storm and gobble up everything else. With the price increases and everything else, it's just a niche service that's on two platforms.

I guess there wasn't a ceiling he had to shoot through. That's just great game design, congrats Machine Games!

Probably true, but its a hell of a great niche. PS fans can shell out full price for each release if they want to. Doesn't bother me.

true.
I just prefer to pay for my games and not be held hostage to a sub. GamePass runs nearly $200/yr and I would probably only buy around 3 games anyways. better to own it outright imo, also makes me value the games more.

PS2 dev who hasn't been significant since.
Oh he's a member here so he might see this.
It's not personal Dave but it is true.

That's a weird take considering Xbox games are coming to PlayStation, including the game he proclaimed to be GOTY.
