Now for a couple hopeful predictions on some announcements for this years show.
The most obvious one that everyone is likely hoping for would be anything Grand Theft Auto 6, this isn’t very likely, but who wouldn’t want to see more of the game. But Rockstar really doesn’t need to do anything to sell this game, it will be the biggest release of all time whenever it releases, especially as we get further into this console generation. There will be so many XBOX Series X/S and so many PS5s out there that this game will be massive.
More likely prediction would be the trailer for The Last of Us season 2, Geoff has a good relationship with Neil Druckmann it seems and this is the biggest event that they can likely tie the trailer to, there is not show running right now on HBO/Max that has a reliable audience like a Game of Thrones to tie a trailer to. The Game Awards seems like the best bang for their buck on impact releasing the long awaited trailer for season 2 of the hit show.
Along with the probable appearance of Neil Druckmann for The Last of Us season 2, there will hopefully also be the one more thing…The new IP from Naughty Dog. I would hope this comes as suggested at the end of the show, which would free up another big announcement earlier in the show. Another very, very longshot, the Uncharted whatever it is next from a non Naughty Dog Studio. I put this likelihood and virtually zero, but wishful thinking here.
From XBOX it would be great to see something Halo, but their rebranding wasn’t that long ago, so it doesn’t seem likely. However XBOX did have that incredible XBOX Games Showcase back in the summer, so perhaps a follow up on the new Gears title or Perfect Dark would land well here.
It would also be very likely we see whatever Kojima is working on with XBOX as well as a showing from Death Stranding 2, these would presumably come at different points of the show being that they are from competing brands obviously. But we know Geoff loves himself some Hideo Kojima, and there will likely be no shortage of his presence at this years show.
We know that we are getting Borderlands 4 at the show, I have been waiting for the series to feel right since the second game. Hopefully this new one will looks more fast paced, smooth, and show off the variations of the new/returning vault hunters. The original was a really unique look and feel and the sequel pushed it a bit further and had some great character classes, hope the new one is a true return to form.
And as always a few evergreen wishful thinking ideas, the return of Jet Motto or Motorstorm would be a welcome return. Or finally dusting off Syphon Filter for the modern era or more reasonable relaunching Resistance or any number of the long dormant IP from PlayStation. Or in the XBOX camp the long hoped return of Banjo-Kazooie or Conker’s Bad Fur Day, not as familiar with what IP they are sitting on, but be bold people.
But no matter what games win at this year’s show and what gets announced, we should all be happy we get this night every year. And we should all be thankful of the work Geoff Keighley does throughout the year to give the industry events like this and Summer Games Fest.

Update: When I “relaunched” my site under the GameWrote moniker I archived all the previous articles of the site. However with The Last Of Us debuting on HBO this coming Sunday, January 15th 2023, I figured what better time than now to dust off this post. This post was originally from March of 2014, shortly after the announcement that The Last Of Us had been license for a feature film. Obviously things have changed over time and we are now at the point where The Last Of Us has become a television series instead. The HBO series starring Pedro Pascal (The Mandalorian, Game Of Thrones) and Bella Ramsey (Game Of Thrones) taking on the roles of the main characters Joel and Ellie will debut this Sunday. The show is believed to cover the main story from the original title as well as include content, character, and story from the added dlc chapter The Last Of Us: Left Behind.
For this update I did not change any of my choices, nor did I add choices for the characters that come from the dlc, since at the initial time of writing this the dlc had released, but I had not completed it myself. The casting Storm Reid from Euphoria for the series feels like a really great choice for right now, in 2014 who knows who I would have picked. In this post most of the pictures are updated from the archived post, and there is now a small blurb added for the choices as well as listing the actor that has been cast for the actual HBO series. I still feel pretty good about most of these choices although some would not work as well now as they would have back in 2014, due to you know time, aging, etc. But can anyone argue that my Joel and Tommy choices would have been anything short of great casting and seemingly believable brothers even? But enough with the update, go and see how GameWrote would’ve cast The Last Of Us movie in 2014. With all that, welcome back to March 17th, 2014…
Original: This will be the second time around this idea, likely use something close to this approach for future entries in the Dream Cast feature. As most either know or should know if they follow gaming, the most award winning title of 2013, The Last Of Us, has been optioned for a big screen motion picture. So with this in mind I think it’s time we get out there and cast this movie! Worthy of noting we have no impact in the literal casting, but hey why not throw some ideas out there anyways. Mind you as well that the assumption is that this movie will closely resemble the story and characters of the game, and hopefully it will, as of now Neil Druckman is writing the script and he was responsible for the game’s story.
Joel play by Liam Neeson
Liam Neeson at this point had already starred in Taken and Taken 2, which made him the marquee star for such a role in 2014. Joel will be played by Pedro Pascal in the HBO series.
Ellie played by Chloe Grace Moretz
Chloe Grace Moretz seemed like an incredible choice for the role coming off of the role as Hit Girl in Kick Ass and Kick Ass 2. Ellie will be played by Bella Ramsey in the HBO series.
Maria played by Charlize Theron
Charlize Theron at this point hadn’t really done much action, so she was more based on dramatic acting and look for the part. Maria will be played by Rutina Wesley in the HBO series.
Tess played by Olivia Wilde
Olivia Wilde was also my choice based off how well she fit the look of the part, a lot of what I had seen from her to this point was in comedies so it wasn’t based off previous roles as much. Tess will be played by Anna Torv in the HBO series.
Sam played by Michael B Jordan
Michael B Jordan had just starred in Fruitvale Station in 2013 and had shown dramatic acting chops already at a young age. Sam will be played by Keivonn Woodard in the HBO series.
David played by Adrian Brody
Adrian Brody was by this point a well established actor having starred in The Pianist and King Kong years prior. David interestingly enough is not listed on the series IMDB page…possibly the show is trying to throw the fans a curveball with the story. I would highly doubt they would leave this vital character out of the series, so we’ll have to wait and see with this role.
Bill played by Dean Norris
Dean Norris was my selection solely based off his role as Hank on Breaking Bad. Bill will be played by Nick Offerman in the HBO series.
Tommy played by Sharlto Copley
Sharlto Copley won me over with District 9 and he would really be a believable brother to our Joel. Tommy will be played by Gabriel Luna in the HBO series.
Marlene played by Rosario Dawson
Rosario Dawson would have been an easy choice for this role, having already delivered great performances in movies such as 25th Hour and Sin City. Marlen will be played by Merle Dandridge in the HBO series.
Robert played by Norman Reedus
Norman Reedus had already been in Boondock Saints and recently pushed into a bigger pop culture role with The Walking Dead tv series. Robert will be played by Brendan Fletcher in the HBO series.
Sarah played by Emily Kinney
Emily Kinney also would be coming off of a key role on The Walking Dead and would fit this role well despite it being a smaller part. Sarah will be played by Nico Parker in the HBO series.
Henry played by Chiwetel Ejiofor
Chiwetel Ejiofor had not yet had his massive pop culture role in Doctor Strange, but his performance in Children Of Men was what made him the choice here. Henry will be played by Lamar Johnson in the HBO series.
Callus played by Maximus
Maximus truly delivered a memorable performance in Tangled, now this role would require a more somber tone, but who doubts it could be achieved? Maximus casting unconfirmed in the HBO series.
What are your thoughts on this blast from the past, if you can put yourself back in 2014 how would you have cast some of these roles. What are your thoughts on the actual casting of the HBO series debuting this week, and what is your excitement level for the series. Comment here and please follow @GameWrote on Twitter and Instagram to interact more with me.
While time has not permitted me to post nearly as much as I would like on here for quite some time, figured it would be a nice quick post to predict The Game Awards 2022. With the show airing Thursday, December 8th, now is the perfect time to throw out predictions on a majority of the categories and add a few predictions or more possible a few wishlist items for the show. First up, here are the categories, nominations, and my predicted winner for them, I skipped a handful of categories that I have no interest in, but most are covered below. Mind you these are not necessarily what I feel should win for the categories but what I think will win, Horizon and As Dusk Falls would win much more if it was what I felt should win.

I genuinely feel like this year’s show will be a lot bigger on the announcements and reveals, the past few years were rough with all the reasonable Covid issues, studios overhauling workloads and schedules to adapt to work from home and remote/hybrid roles. But it feels like the industry is turning the corner over the past few months and we will finally start to see the new/next generation take off. These first few years have been underwhelming to a large degree and next year should be the shift needed to push the next gen consoles to feel like there is actual separation from the PS4/XBOXone generation.
The Game Awards will be streaming Live on Thursday, December 8th at 4:30PM PST. Links below should put you through to the Twitch or YouTube stream from The Game Awards, and there are some prizes to be earned through watching on Twitch, check out @thegameawards on Twitter for details on that. And follow @GameWrote on Twitter (https://twitter.com/GameWrote) for some likely live tweeting on announcements.
After E3 2021 had come and gone, something sure seemed to be missing…
We had Microsoft, Nintendo, Capcom, Ubisoft, and many, many other companies showing off what they have been working on, what’s to come, but still seems like something was off. Sure it was again a virtual/online version of events, but we have all likely grown accustomed to online events and showcases.
Despite having a State of Play in June showing off Horizon: Forbidden West, it feels like there is a large void in gaming at the moment. And as mentioned in our recap of the XBOX & Bethesda Game Studios Showcase, there seems to be a large shift incoming in the power struggle of console gaming. We are seeing Microsoft make bold moves, smart strategic changes, and really focus on the gamer in what is almost a complete swap from last generation.
Currently on deck for PlayStation we have Horizon: Forbidden West coming possibly the end of this year, God of War: Ragnorak coming hopefully early 2022, a Gran Turismo is in the works as well, along with new IP from Bend Studios and just announced unknown title from Deviation Games. Before the last State of Play word broke that there are twenty-three titles in development from the various owned and partnered studios from PlayStation. And shortly after E3 2021, Sony announced that they had acquired Housemarque as well. However through the recent months and years there has been a decrease in studios for PlayStation, and what seems to be a shift in focus by the company. We are seeing multiple IPs being utilized in various other forms of entertainment, an Uncharted film starring Spiderman himself Tom Holland has wrapped and slated to come out early 2022. Then over at HBO there is a series being developed in the world of The Last of Us, with Neil Druckmann heavily involved in the inner workings of the show. Additionally there were strong rumors suggesting a Twisted Metal show and Ghost of Tsushima Movie are both in development breaking earlier this year.
What changed since last generation where we almost knew most of the slate of games multiple years out, whereas now we have more info on PlayStation in other media forms aside from gaming. Or from even earlier generations where PlayStation not only heralded as the highest quality of first party titles, but also boasted the biggest range of genres. Just look at the variety that graced the PS3 generation:
Arcade Racer: Motorstorm
Play/Create/Share: Little Big Planet and Modnation Racers
Simulation Racer: Gran Turismo
First Person Shooters: Killzone and Resistance
Third Person Adventure: Uncharted and Heavenly Sword
Third Person Action: InFamous and The Last of Us
Party Games: Buzz! and Singstar
Tactical Shooters: SOCOM and MAG
Family Games: Jak & Daxter, Sly Cooper, and Rachet & Clank
Unique “Artistic” Games: Beyond, Heavy Rain, and Journey (Thatgamecompany titles)
(Top Left to Right: Modnation Racers, Uncharted, SOCOM, LittleBigPlanet. Bottom Left to Right: Resistance, BUZZ!, Motorstorm, Journey)
And while we are early on in the PS5 generation it would certainly be a shock to those paying attention to hear that PlayStation is dusting off Buzz! for another round. Or returning to make a Free To Play Modnation Racers game with loads of potential DLC and content packs with the vast abundance of PlayStation properties. Or another long running hope of mine a new Jet Moto (PS1 jet ski racing gem for you youngsters). Or possibly even have Deviation bring SOCOM back to life again in either a Free To Play style or priced release. However none of these seem likely to fit into the current roadmap for PlayStation. And while these ideas aren’t bad in my humble opinion, they certainly aren’t the sure fire hits like putting out sequels to Spiderman or Ghost of Tsushima would be and that seems to be where PlayStation is right now. Albeit predictable, but it is also safe and when your main rival in Microsoft is being as bold as they have and have the financial viability to go even further if need be, where does that leave PlayStation.
Will gamers, some of whom are in the fifth console lifecycle be ok with this vast shift away from diversity and the push for strictly marquee or AAA titles. Will the consumers be ok to just wait around and see if these new entertainment options produce the hopeful revenue streams for the company overall to return to some boldness of their own. Or perhaps PlayStation will just announce the remainder or majority of the remaining twenty-three titles in development and that will be enough to reassure many of their gaming faithful. Only time will tell and in time I’ll lay out some things that I would love to see PlayStation do in the coming months to realign themselves more with what we’ve been collectively used to from the predominant industry leader.
Would love to hear some of your ideas on that state of PlayStation, games in general, and what you would love to see from any of the major players in the industry. Comment here and please follow @GameWrote on Twitter and Instagram to interact more with me.
Sony Interactive Entertainment is set to reveal the PlayStation 5 this coming Thursday, June 11th 2020 at 1:00pm PDT (https://blog.playstation.com/2020/06/08/updated-time-this-thursday-see-the-future-of-gaming-on-ps5/). With this reveal event just one day away, there is no better time than now to put together a wishlist for it. What features do we hope to see in the PS5, what games are we expecting to be revealed as well, are there new or updated services expected, etc.
Features
Backwards Compatibility
Standards have been set already by Microsoft with their backwards compatibility both with the current and upcoming generations. While Sony has been strongly in the lead during this generation in terms of units moved and not needed to worry about this feature much, going into the next generation though this needs to be addressed.
“Forward Compatibility”
Again Microsoft has set the standard expectation for what this new generation should be, buy Madden 2021 on your XBOX One, get it on your XBOX Series X. Sony would certainly be wise to have the same plan in place as much as possible. Partner with third party developers and publishers and help lower the risk for players.
Reasonable Pricing
The PlayStation 3 was hopefully a lesson learned by Sony, $599 while not unreasonable, was a price-tag too high for many initially and optically was a rough start to that generation. Seemingly that lesson was learned and applied with the PlayStation 4 having released at the $399 price point. It would be perfectly reasonable for the PlayStation 5 to have an increased launch price, hopefully it can come in at $449 or less, but I feel as long as it stays under $500 it should be received in a positive way.
Console Exclusivity
We have certainly seen that exclusivity is on the decline, but making a splash here would be big. The most obvious one is who will get the Call Of Duty timed exclusivity for the coming console cycle. Microsoft had it for the 360 vs. PS3 era, Sony had it for the PS4 vs. XBOX One era.
Games
Horizon Zero Dawn sequel
This seems to be one of the most likely launch date/window for the PS5 in terms of first party games, or possible a Spiderman sequel. With the the original title having released back in February of 2017 this would seem like the first party title that has had the most time to be in the works.
Return of SOCOM
Not feeling very confident in this one, but would love to see Sony bring this beloved series back. The online squad based shooter genre is a whole lot stronger and more popular than ever, I believe the series would be welcomed back in a big way.
Spiderman sequel
Much like with Horizon Zero Dawn, Spiderman seems like the most sure fire series to get a followup title. Now there has been much less time in between release and now, with Spiderman coming out in September of 2018, but one would assume that this game is coming.
Third Party Titles
What third party titles will pop up during the reveal event? Madden NFL 2021, NBA 2K, seem like they would pop up in a sizzle reel, Call Of Duty seems likely, hopefully there will be plenty more and maybe even a new game reveal or two. And with Assassin’s Creed has already appeared as a feature with the Microsoft events, this might keep it from appearing here
Services
PlayStation Plus
Doubtful there will be much info in regards to PlayStation Plus during this reveal event, but eventually it would be great to know/hear the updates to this service. Considering the service used to deliver up to six titles a month ( two per console) down to now just two titles a month. What will be done
PlayStation Network
With the price increase and feature decline over this past generation with PlayStation Plus, what has Sony done to invest into increasing the quality or improve standards moving into the next generation of the PlayStation Network. After finally working out a solution to PSNid name change ordeal, it would be great to have Sony continue to address issues/concerns with the PSN.
PlayStation NOW
While PlayStation NOW already is a pretty good deal with access to over 800 titles for $9.99/month it seems that the general consensus is that it’s not a great deal especially in contrast to XBOX Game Pass. Can PlayStation pitch this service as the value it already is, and furthermore can they add enough value to it where it will be see as an equal or rival to Game Pass. Perhaps access to not only more games, but giving users access to much newer titles on a regular cadence.
Tune in tomorrow to see what is revealed, and feel free to comment your hopes of it and afterwards your reactions.
