I say this every year, but having an orchestra portray your passion must be one of the highest honours for a game creator and this was fantastic. All games showcased were brilliant.
That right there was genuine pride and happiness for his game. Everyone else accepting their awards seemed to of expected their awards. This man is a man of the people and represents what we like in a video game, Passion.
@@The_Ostrich You know, it’s ok to appreciate music. At any time. Anywhere. Whether it’s your first time or millionth time hearing the music. 🤦♂️🤦♂️..
All others great games aside, seeing a franchise that was nearly dead like Metroid releasing a new title and making it as a GOTY nominee in just half a year is one of the most spectacular comebacks ever in gaming history. Hearing the Theme of Samus Aran in a TGA GOTY Presentation was unthinkable justa a year ago.
Ever seen in gaming history? It’s just the Nintendo hype bro. there was nothing good from Nintendo this year besides this one game so it automatically had to be in the nominees, great game but I can smell the massive Nintendo fan from your comment alone.
@@VincentVincent_89 I think they said that because Metroid has struggled for years and we haven't seen a proper Metroid sequel since Fusion. Plus, I thought New Pokemon Snap was also a good Nintendo game. Maybe not game of the Year good but a good game nonetheless.
@@VastDivide na dude those Metroid James on home consoles would get nominees but they wouldn’t win it, I just knew it would be here just because of the brand alone. I know the guy who posted this comment is a massive massive Nintendo fan but the only way I’d agree with him is if he were to say an F-ZERO game was in the nominees. Now that’s a franchise that is utterly dead.
@@VincentVincent_89 Fair enough. I myself am a big Nintendo fan (Zelda specifically)but I do like what Sony and Xbox provide as well. I didn't expect Metroid Dread to win but I loved it.
@@dom4591 great game but the best of the entire year? No. I’d take ratchet and clank over that game, mostly cuz that halo game didn’t change the formula. Heck I’ll take forza any day
I love Josef Fares , I love that he’s bringing back couch Co-op games and split screen games and showing every game developers that split screen games still sell a ton and do so well !! I hope this award inspires game developers to bring back couch co-op games
Long time Metroid fan here. Even though it didn't win GOTY, to see it honored on this platform with these other great titles brings the biggest smile to my face. Poor sales have held this franchise back for far too long but it appears as if the tide is changing. It's the game of the year in my book.
I feel like they lacked the budget to win that one. It Takes Two was after a huge success, it's more like the next game by Dread's Studio Mercury Steam is on that level of polish and content. But on another note, to think they even show up in multiple categories with a larger indie game budget is amazing.
@@rad6666 while more of a black sheep it is amazing visually, great level design, cool bosses, and a good story, plus the voice acting was top notch. Tell me what is bad about it. Hm?
My vote was Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. Partly cause it’s what got me interested in the series. Or at least interested enough to actually want to play the game.
Just imagine the potential Game of the Year for 2022: Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sequel God of War Ragnarök Elden Ring All from developers who previously won in 2017, 2018, and 2019 respectively Honorable mention to Horizon Forbidden West
@@groudonor12 We can't really say much until we see more footage of it. For all we know it could do something very unexpected since the devs did say they wanted a sequel that was "something darker" Considering the last trailer diverted from the tone of the teaser, I think Nintendo is hiding something, potentially big
I was hoping either Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart or Resident Evil Village would win but It Takes Two definitely deserves the award. It's such a great co-op game.
glad dread was nominated. I didn't expect a win, but its still grea to see it recognized. From the games I haven't played that were nominated I've heard good things so I think they all deserved it. Honestly surprised it takes two won, beating out the trile AAA games. Thats cool.
@@Coeb005 no one cares about battlefield. If thats what you have to go by and say it wasn't a great year then it sounds like you just don't play any real video games. That's on you.
@Tomjo5 on top of the GOTY nominees and winner there's stuff like Monster Hunter Rise, Returnal, Eastward, Shin Megami Tensei V....i could go on. Yeah, like i said, solid year. If none of these games are to your taste then thats on you.
This is actually a huge deal. A local multiplayer game winning the GOTY. I voted for it, too. It's an amazing game! I get, that a lot of people played it during all those lockdowns around the globe the past year. So I'm very happy about this and hope more games like this are being made in high quality like It Takes Two. People still embrace quality couch coop!
This year was just bad, except for a few games there was nothing good about this year. I didn't buy a single game this year. Games that I am interested are all coming next year.
@@groudonor12 Not at the Game Awards, because the Game Awards have only been a thing since 2014, whereas the last 2D Metroid before Dread was Fusion, which was 2001. The last 3D Metroid was Other M, which was 2010. It literally couldn't have been nominated.
Such a good juxtaposition from last game of the year I was almost worried they would try to give last of us two an award this year congrats it takes two
I was rooting for either psychonauts 2 or it takes two to win this. Psychonauts 2 is one of my favorite games of all time, but it takes two was magical. Congrats Josef
in less than a minute: he f*cked Oscars, he said how much he loves his beautiful team, he said how much he loves his family, he said we should have children, and how much he respects Mr.Druckman. fast and beautiful.
This game of the year is better than last years game of the year but I want halo infinite, resident evil village or metriod dread, to be the game of the year.
Really well done to It Takes Two. I thought Ratchet and Clank might take it this year but I was pleasantly surprised. Take Two tried suing the devs and they came back with a GoTY win. High five!
He's a man of the people. Genuinely happy for Josef Fares and his team.
I say this every year, but having an orchestra portray your passion must be one of the highest honours for a game creator and this was fantastic. All games showcased were brilliant.
It was great that each of the picks had distinct music from there respective games and the flow to each pick was seamless.
@@couchpotato1065 ok but where was halo infinite?
@@mrgrape7387 - Came out too late. It was released as the Game Awards aired.
Love how the one girl in the main orchestra was smiling the whole time
They were incredible!
That right there was genuine pride and happiness for his game. Everyone else accepting their awards seemed to of expected their awards. This man is a man of the people and represents what we like in a video game, Passion.
The Samus Aran theme sounds so incredible with the orchestra, so happy to hear it!
Yeah cause we never heard that theme orchestrated before 🤦♂️🤦♂️....

@@The_Ostrich Are you a wet blanket salesman
Would have preferred something unique to dread but it sounded nice
Im just glad a indie developer got game of the year.
Game is published by EA, it's not indie
@@jaydee2847 Published, not developed. They even said Developer, not publisher, lol. The developers are Hazelight Studios.
Wow “indie” has really lost its meaning over the past few years
They were indie years ago, they work for EA, who is owned by Xbox now lol
@@flyingchinchilla2683 Microsoft doesn't own EA 🤭
That was a very passionate celebration from a very passionate man

It Takes Two deserves it. Fun, classic couch co-op and, I don't know, it just feels like old time
No mate. Best of the entire year??? No. Sorry I’m not being negative and I have the game and it was a joy but the best of the year? Jesus Christ no.
@@VincentVincent_89 I respect ur opinion but I disagree with you.
@@VincentVincent_89 It Takes Two is easily the best game of the year no cap
@@VincentVincent_89 Halo Infinite would've won if it came out before december

Metroid score orchestral version gave me chills
Strings segment at the beginning was fire
I love the horns
Metroid dread and it takes two where my game choices. I'm so glad one of them won out. Well deserved
I love Josef Fares , I love that he’s bringing back couch Co-op games and split screen games and showing every game developers that split screen games still sell a ton and do so well !! I hope this award inspires game developers to bring back couch co-op games
Exactly, I miss couch coop and I’m glad Josef Fares brought that feel back with It Takes Two and A Way Out
I called it that this game was going to win game of the year the creativity the fun I had every single level was unbelievable
JOSEF FARES THE LEGEND! WELL DESERVED SO HAPPY FOR HIM

Poor sales have held this franchise back for far too long but it appears as if the tide is changing. It's the game of the year in my book.
The Metroid segment was Godlike!
Samus Aran theme with orchestra is so Great!
Sounds like a Route music in Pokémon lol
We need more people like joseff in games industry! Congratulations!
Was hoping Metroid Dread would win, but It Takes Two is definitely deserving and I am so happy for the studio!

But on another note, to think they even show up in multiple categories with a larger indie game budget is amazing.
I feel like Metroid Dread should have won but I'll be fine with it
That guy got some recognition because he said something funny while promoting his game, now his game won game of the year, what a story man.
whatd he say?
@@sharp9150 "F*ck the Oscars" 😂
I'm just so happy that the right game won game of the year
Metroid Dread didn’t win though
Neither Resident but I’m happy for the winner
I would have wanted resi or Metroid but I'm always down to support indie developers who deserve it
Yes I said it when I played it the first time it was the best game I have played and knew it would be goty
@@cluclap Did y’all play the same game I saw?
It takes two is a masterpiece
Well deserved! cant wait for It Takes Three
I really wanted psyconauts 2 to win but this has reminded me I should probably play it takes two.
Psychonauts is a really good game, but it takes two is a masterpiece
Same for me with Metroid
Both excellent games
Definitely play with your lover if you have one
Alot of these games are goty award-worthy for a reason, all great games.
I wasn’t even mad it won game of the year! The team totally deserved this, my vote was for Resident evil village
Same
Why it wasn't that great

Wrong. When I'm sober tomorrow, I will explain. I'm 43 years in gaming.

Ive never been more happy to see a game win game of the year
Josef is the only man powerful enough to give EA a goty award
2:59 Samus Aran Theme .... ¡¡¡ ÉPICO!!!
Suena a una ruta genérica de Pokémon lol
That performance was godlike
Nintendo music is so good. Had such a unique sound
Boys! BOYS!!! Settle down. The lady with the guitar has no obligation to talk to you.
Sony or Nintendo is buying this studio as we speak
Looking how things are going it will probably be Microsoft.
you mean EA?
The transitions were impeccable, it almost feels like it's an actual song rather than a medley
Just imagine the potential Game of the Year for 2022:
Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sequel
God of War Ragnarök
Elden Ring
All from developers who previously won in 2017, 2018, and 2019 respectively
Honorable mention to Horizon Forbidden West
More like Horizon Zero Frames

Just finished this game totally well deserved!!! Super imaginative and creative!!!
this man makes me happy
I know he's maybe "too much" for some but I love the passion and energy from Josef Faras
I had tears in my eyes when it takes two won it !!!!!! Believe me the game changed my life..
A really really nice game gets game of the year AND is indie. This is absolutely great.
That orchestra! It was spectacular 😊
I was hoping either Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart or Resident Evil Village would win but It Takes Two definitely deserves the award. It's such a great co-op game.

All terrific games. It Takes Two deserves it. What a solid year for gaming.
I dont think it is a solid year for gaming... What happen to battlefield

Hopefully it winning goty is a sign for game devs that we love couch coop
That Orchestra was dope
Super earned. My friend convinced me to play It Takes Two and I fell in love with the game!! Mega congrats to the team behind it!! 100% deserved
This does bring a smile to my face
Can I be honest? It was an ok year for gaming at best.
This year was just bad, except for a few games there was nothing good about this year. I didn't buy a single game this year. Games that I am interested are all coming next year.
For me it was one of the best years, it takes two, Psychonauts, Hitman, Deathloop, more outer wilds... It was incredible
Agreed. I barely remember the games that came out this year other than the failures
I never even heard of the game that won goty. The last few years have been pretty bad
It was reasonably bad
Yay!!i was hoping for it takes two!!!
Genuine joy on the mans face, the best thing to come out of this event is right here
That game deserves it
I'm a bit surprised, that Tales of Arise wasn't even in the nominees.
It won Best RPG at least.
I’m genuinely happy for him. Love that guy!!
Wild to think a Metroid game was nominated for game of the year
It has been done previously.

I feel bad for Ratched & Clank, nominated for basically everything, didnt win anything... It would have deserved best direction over Deadloop tbh.
It takes two doesn't deserve it, it should've been RE8 Village
Not really. It takes two was better. Even i played RE8 but hey its my opinion
I totally respect your opinion but in mine, RE8 Village is better

Congrats Josef!
Really happy to see this game win. I haven't played it but I'm glad the award didn't to something big for the sake of going to something big.
Do play it. It's absolutely worth it
I mean when has it ever gone to a game just for the sake of it’s big? The games that do win are absolutely incredible in every way
@@noodle7725 the last of us part two is where I disagree
Glad they recreated Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart's theme! That's what won me 😁
6 nominees like they're like hall of fame.

I’m amazed that I haven’t seen sit this year for game of the year awards, has like no views compared to last years 😭
What they did to Ghost of tsushima still hurts
Glad I just played that game of the year with my younger brother. It feels good. Didn't finished the game yet.😅

Is that a mod or something?
Hope I had someone to play It takes two with
