How come P5 R was never nominated for GOTY?
Its the highest rated game of last gen and never got any mentions?

I don't think it was eligible since its technically a re-released game.

Then remasters and remakes dont deserve to be nominated

Remasters and remakes aren't the same thing

Theyre definitely worse than what p5r is.

Because it's just a re-release of a pre-existing game? It's literally the same game with extras. It would be like downloading DLC for your original game.

Its 30 hours of new content which is more hours than most games nominated this year. Also its the highest rated game this gen.
1
Didn't Last of Us 2 have more than that? Hades definitely has way more than that. FFVII R has way more than that.
2
This game was rated higher than all of them
1
And that doesn't matter because it's publishing year is 2017, not 2020.

Bro why are you being so hostile to people making valid points?

Guess they figured it's an enhanced rerelease of the 2017 game, so it had already had its moment in the sun.
But I agree, Royal is fucking amazing. My favorite game of 2020 for sure

It came out in 2019 and just missed the 2020 cut for awards. But i think it destroyed any game nominated this year. If ff7r can get nominated, so can an enhanced release.

Came out in 2020 for most the world. 2019 was the Japanese release

I dont know how the nominations work if its the initial release or worldwide release. Game deserves alot of cred.

It was higher rated than any othet game on any system. If garbage remakes like ff7 can get nominated, re releases that actually made the game better should be nominated as well.

Why you so upset? Cant have a convo without getting angry? Seek therapy dude.
Ffr is a mix of ff15 and kingdom hearts and basically made ff7 worse off than the ps version.

Even worse is that the original was included in the PS+ collection instead of Royal

Either are better than 99 percent of the AAA games regardles

P5R didn't get nominated but at least P5 got considered by ign (if i remember correctly) best game of 2020
1
Pretty stupid, its the highest rated game of this gen and didnt receive an award? Thats a shame.

I agree, i only got into persona 2 weeks ago but before playing it i was already really interested in it for at least a year but never had the guts to buy it since its almost 70 bucks, but now i boight it, played it already twice and im going for the plst on the vanilla and bought royal for later aswell

I mean its definitely onenof the best games this gen
1
For sure

It was a enhanced rerelease that wasn’t a complete redo of the persona 5 therefore it wasn’t eligible. But the original persona 5 was nominated for the game of the year in 2017 but it lost because Breath of the wild came out that year
1
I can see it losing to zelda.
If remakes and remaster can get nominated then games like this should too. P5r came out in 2019 and deserved some kind of an award for perfect an already great game amd tacked on about 30 hours.
Also the highest rated game this gen

Because Royal was a rerelease. When the game initially came out (2016 and 2017) it was lavished with awards and nominations. From Wikipedia:
"At The Game Awards 2017, the game was nominated for the show's "Game of the Year", "Best Art Direction", "Best Score/Music", and "Best Role Playing Game" awards, winning "Best Role Playing Game".[168] It was named the second best game of 2017 by GameSpot, behind The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.[169] At IGN's "Best of 2017" awards, it won best RPG,[170] and was also nominated for Game of the Year,[171] best PlayStation 4 game,[172] best art direction,[173] best story,[174] and best soundtracks awards.[175]"

Still think if a game gets 30 hours of new content including new stpry, gameplay and overall qol upgrades, it deserves to be nominated. Its also the highest rated game currently.
This is my opinion.
1
Not saying it doesn't really, but generally GOTY awards and the like focus on new games since they're somewhere between recognition and marketing stunts.
1
I kinda see where you’re coming from. Especially considering Among Us got nominated for a bunch of awards despite coming out in 2018. But I think the improvement of p5r over p5 was just not substantial enough compared to the other games this year.

This whole post seems to stem from the fact that Remakes (as in REmake 2 & 3, Final Fantasy VII Remake) are different from re-releases/remasters. It's why FFVII (PS4, X1, Switch) was never nominated for GOTY but FFVII Remake was. FFVIII had a remaster too, but it as well is just FFVIII that came out so many years ago.
But, Ocarina of Time 3D, whilst being a remastered Ocarina of Time, included new elements such as Master Quest (which in itself has been flipped from the GameCube), and boss rush, but its still a remaster imo

No i know the difference.
Just think if remakes can be nominated, rerleases with 30 hours of new content, changed gameplay, and the highest rating of the last gen deserves a nomination as well.
Its not the same game, even the mechanics changed in p5r.

I was a tad bit confused by that too, and perhaps it's probably just cuz of some weird rules where the critics who didn't play it thought it was a remaster? I was personally baffled since the 30 new hours and the extra gameplay changes really isnt a remaster at that point, it's a different game.

Persona 5 Royal was a rerelease of the original so it was technically not eligible.
Re2 remake is the same game as re2 with new graphics.
This is the highest rated game this gen and deserves an award.

You seem to be confused. What Persona 5 Royal was was a rerelease it didn’t improve the graphics or the game in any way. A remaster is somewhat similar but it’s often an opportunity for the devs to give it a graphics touch up.
A remake is creating the game from scratch, RE2 remake although bearing some similarities to the original in terms of story and characters isn’t the same gameplay wise. RE2 used a fixed camera perspective and tank controls(which became outdated by 2005 or 2006), RE2 remake is a third person shooter essentially so gameplay wise and mechanic wise it’s different.
Not confused at all. Using an engine from a game you just worked on and having all the same layout as the older version(ex re2r) shouldnt have been nominayed at all. It did nothing to push the genre other than same game new graphics.
RE2 remake is a completely different game from RE2, not genre making or ground breaking but it is different, same with RE3 remake it’s completely different to the original gameplay wise.
It has a completely different layout and they used the RE Engine because RE7 was graphically impressive. They remade RE2 and 3 because it was due a remake to modern audiences the original has been out for over 20 years so yeah. Was it game of the year worthy? That’s your opinion.
