I've played all of these minus Zelda. While Spider-Man is my personal game of the year, I voted and say Baulders Gate deserves this. That game is insane and it's a massive achievement for RPGs. Also, Im not sure how I feel about RE4 being allowed to be nominated for game of the year when technically it's an old game. Nothing wrong with the game but I feel like maybe for GOTY category they limit it to games that not only released this year, but are but remakes of older games. What are everyone's thoughts on that?
I think Remakes are New games if they are made to the Level that RE4 is. But i honestly can Not tell you where id mark a line between them or if there even is One. You could argue that every artistic work is already a new version of already existing work, but videogames are unique in the case of how you can litteraly reuse files
Technically and realistically is not an old game. It's a remake not a remaster, the only thing similar with the old one is the story. Graphics, audio, gameplay are all new. In my opinion remakes should be able to run for goty. (remasters are different though)
