I figured this would be a fun topic of discussion. Here are the Publishers who have won an award along with how many they have won:

• Larian - 6 awards
• Epic Games - 3 awards
• Square Enix - 2 awards
• Capcom - 2 awards
• Nintendo - 3 awards
• Xbox - 2 awards
• Sony - 1 award
• Bethesda - 1 award
• Hoyoverse- 1 award
• Riot Games - 1 award
• Bandai Namco/From Software - 1 award
• CD Projekt Red - 1 award
• Sabotage Studio - 1 award
• Kepler Interactive - 1 award
• Annapurna Interactive - 1 award

Thoughts GAF? Is there any publisher that you think should have more wins? Is there any publisher where you're glad they are not on the list? Also, who do you hope to see as a winner in the future?

For me I'm hoping Sega grabs a win sometime soon.

Armored Core won Game of the Year BAYBEeeee (Action game)

 

[nial]

I would put Armored Core VI more as a win for From Software considering that they are actually the publisher of the game in Japan (its domestic market), and own the IP as well.

I'll add them beside Namco.

 

[Woopah]

Xbox and Bethesda should be combined no?

 

[Mr Hyde]

Best game 2023. Tango never miss.

 

[ungalo]

At least it's spread out this year.

Sony win 1 as well so nahhh!!

 

[Chukhopops]

The Last of Us on HBO.

 

[adamsapple]

Good show for Xbox, 3 awards.

Super happy for AW2's wins as well.

BG3 was the expected sweeper but still happy for them that they won that many awards.

Bethesda published Hi-Fi Rush. If you want to combine the two you can feel free to do so, but I’m simply being technical about the actual listed publisher for the game.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Nobody laughs?

 

[ADiTAR]

If you're arranging it according to award count, shouldn't Nintendo be higher? like 2? considering it also got the most noms?

 

[Bartski]

• Xbox - 2 awards
• Sony - 1 award

I had misread the winners at first and had them at 2, so I quickly changed it to reflect the actual number.

That's fair. To me, Xbox and Bethesda (and ABK I guess) are the same now.

Did he just kick a cat?

 

[CatLady]

Sony win 1 as well so nahhh!!

For a TV show

PUBLISHER FIGHT!

 

[SlimySnake]

Sony won 0 awards. TV show don’t count as video games last i checked.

Just goes to show how Sonys gaas focus has hurt a first party that used to dominate at the awards. Any true Sony fan would be extremely upset over this. We got one Sony game this year and nothing set for next year. Who knows what is up next in 2025. These studios needed more man power, more resources, more love and they didn’t. We are now seeing the results of that insane gaas focus.

Tchia won an award and it's a Sony published Game. Yosp grabbed the award for that game.
I don't think the last of us counts because that would be an award for HBO, not Sony.

 

[adamsapple]

Tchia won an award and it's a Sony published Game. Yosp grabbed the award too.

Tchia is not a Sony published game. It's Kepler Interactive.

 

[BiohazardX95]

Tchia is not a Sony published game. It's Kepler Interactive.

it was weird that yosp grabbed the award then

Xbox 3 awards not 2
why separate Bethesda from Xbox / microsoft
If this was sony it will be count as one

 

[twilo99]

Not really, Bethesda seems to be operating independently, kinda like Mojang..

 

[StealthGoblin]

I'm puzzled why Forza won the accessibility over Spiderman. I thought Spiderman was the obvious and clear candidate there.

Nothing to be puzzled about, both games do good accessibility options. It's not like Forza just won it out of nowhere, it received a lot of unanimously positive accessibility reviews, one example below:

'Forza Motorsport' Is a Historic First for the Entire Racing Game Genre

Inverse score: 10/10

Nintendo and Sony got a win, gaming has been elevated.

I'm puzzled how Forza won ANY awards. There were a couple of objectively better racing titles this year, 1 that wasn't even nominated (WRC, which had A LOT less issues than Forza as well).

Pretty much the whole gaming community shit on Forza yet it cleaned up a couple categories. Most Sony games are insane when it comes to Accessibility, and also SF6 introduced modern controls making it one of the, if not the MOST accessible fighter to date. Wtf did Forza have that made accessibility such a high mark for it?

Thanks for the info. Sounds like they put more effort into that than the rest of the game.

I'm cherry picking here but c'mon:

There’s even an option to make shifting entirely automatic, reducing the number of buttons I need.

Like damn , every fuckin racer on the planet has automatic shifting.

I will say the assisted throttle is nice. But upon doing some research, Gran Turismo 7 also featured assisted braking (lots of racers do) and even assisted steering.

Besides assisted Throttle/Steering, lots of racers have all of these assists. I guess Forza is definitely the most user friendly racer though so I'll give them that.

Even though I haven't played SF6, I know how the modern controls work and it's quite ingenious. Even someone not into fighting games can look like they know what they're doing. I personally think that's more impressive than the CPU playing the game for you, which is basically what Forza is doing.

I've been hearing great things about SF 6 accessibility myself. What did Spiderman do that you feel sets it above the rest?

After all this talk about Xbox having crap games this year, and they win 3 awards.

Good stuff.

Ball's going to just keep rolling in 2024 as well, with Hellblade II, Avowed, and Flight Simulator 2024.

Playstation tax confirmed!

Armored Core won Game of the Year BAYBEeeee (Action game)

And they achieved that by only giving out the very minimal needed for it to become a good game. Nothing more, nothing less .

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Which is the proper way when pointing out publishers awards.
