Resident Evil 4 Remake has been crowned PlayStation Game of the Year at The Golden Joysticks 2023 powered by Intel.
Capcom’s third Resident Evil remake was released in March of this year and took players back to rural Spain to confront the mysterious, and deadly, Los Illuminados cult - 18 years after we originally did on the PlayStation 2. Fans clearly loved revisiting the classic survival horror game as it managed to beat out other games in the category including Final Fantasy 16, Street Fighter 6, and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.
The other Golden Joystick Awards 2023 nominees in this category can be found below:
- Final Fantasy 16
- Resident Evil 4 Remake (winner)
- Street Fighter 6
- Humanity
- Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon
- Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
Truly deserved.
Why did we single out just this award from the whole show? Not only are there plenty of others worth talking about, there’s also all the ways that show hung on by a thread. Troy Baker basically apologized for each joke written for him to read, and he and Gary Whitta had to yell at a nearby table for talking loudly over award winners.
You know things are great in gaming when a port of a ten year old game wins goty
Ten? It’s a remake of an 18-year-old game.
