Feels like they've been announcing that for at least a year. Now I can finally play it!

Now I've finally played it! What is this, ZAngband if it made love with Nethack, and the successive progeny ended up procreating with dwarves in some fortress? Arrow keys and number pad like it's 1993? Every other key is mapped to an action and the game expects you to both look at AND inspect things? I'm getting flashbacks to the time my brother and I installed 4DOS because it supported more wildcard formats than vanilla MS-DOS 6.22 did, and immediately had too many options to do anything, so we did nothing*, and then he just wiped it and installed Linux instead.
I don't know if they were good times, but they were some times, and this is catapulting me back to those days. All that's left is if they release the source code so we can make our own tile sets and fuck around with the procgen.
*Almost nothing - I enjoyed deleting and renaming entire swathes of shit in my dad's directories with this new freedom

The new Josef Fares was the only thing I was hoping to see from the Game Awards (it was neat seeing announcement trailers for The Witcher 4, Mafia and Okami though) and I'm really not sold.

They seem to have traded the charm of wooden puppets in a human world for painfully generic sci-fi/fantasy art direction, and the unexpected universality of you gotta fix your relationship as a main quest for a cookie cutter struggle against corporate theft and greed. I am sure it will be fun to play, but I really hope the two characters have lasting chemistry.

It's probably too early to celebrate a (proper) Okami sequel, but fuck it, 18 years after Okami we're getting a sequel from Kamiya and Capcom with his own goddamn studio's name also being a sequel. Look; it's a new Okami.
GET HYPED.

Man, I never would have imagined there would be an Okami sequel. Awesome.
Things I'm also hyped about:

Okay, Fallout 3 part 2 did make me laugh, but not all that thrilled about the promise of more action and weapons.

I'm expecting it to be good because Obsidian have never made an RPG that I outright disliked, but yeah, the selling points aren't really things I necessarily view positively. I thought the limited size and scope of the original game worked in its favor, and the only real minor complaint I remember was how boring the perk/trait/flaw system was.

I'm hyped for Okami. I'm not hyped for Warren Spector.

Of course I'm going to play an Obsidian game (as well as the Ookami sequel). I guess I'm just at an age where "twice as big, more graphics, more guns, more action" works as sort of an anti-hype.
