GI.biz: PlayStation exclusive games received 38% of all the nominations at this year's BAFTA Game Awards (41 Total)

What did Nintendo even put out last year outside of Animal Crossing and Origami King? I'm drawing a blank.

Great for Sony, they had a very strong 2020 in terms of software.
Yeah, that sounds like a game that would great alot of Bafta nominations.
imagine thinking Nintendo would show up here after having one the most noticable droughts in past five years.

This place is pretty much just a Nintendo fan site these days, so no surprise.
Im not sure if you're serious with this post. If you are, then I think you have it backwards.
I'd say it began somewhere in the PS3 gen. Possibly Uncharted 2-3? If not, then TLOU.
Who knows. ;)
Reading much of ResetEra, particularly the PlayStation Studios thread, you'd be forgiven for thinking Sony had lost its touch. And then you see stats like this...
There are some vocal people in that thread you mentioned, but outside of that, I disagree with your assessment. ERA as a whole is pretty onboard with Sony's output. And it's deserved.
Last year was definitely Sony's year. Exclusive banger after banger. My own GOTY list was also predominantly made up of PlayStation exclusives, but then again there simply wasn't a whole lot from Nintendo and Microsoft on that front.
It's nice to see Insomniac, Naughty Dog and Sucker Punch share the stage together. From rags to riches. Well, not literally lol.
The only actually great playstation exclusive from last year, ff7r doesn't seem to be mentioned? Unless I'm blind? Does it not count as an exclusive or something?
Back then they were not nearly as consistent at releasing top tier games, and 2014 especially was a pretty dry period for them. 2015 is when this recent phase of high quality Sony games started, with Bloodborne, then Uncharted 4, then Horizon, God of War, Spider-Man, TLOU2, Ghost, etc.
Not entirely surprising. 2019 was kinda pants for Sony games, but 2020 saw them come back in style.
Some really weird choices, Miles as game of the year is a bit much, TLOU 2 out of narrative while some other games got in, FFVII Remake not on music...
Something spot on was the entire main cast of TLOU 2 got nominated, they all should win.

The game got announced as PS4/PC, and we might even hear more about the PC version before the BAFTAs even happen this year
Sony released games that were actually finished and fully rendered last year. Those were always going to be a priority.
It was more an observation of Nintendo's type of output (family-friendly games focused on gameplay) vs. Sony's. I suppose the latter is much more appealing to awards panels.
I'm not a Nintendo fan, at all. I like some of their games but as someone who typically likes linear games with a strong narrative most of their stuff isn't for me.
Since Uncharted 2 in 2009. Hasn't been a flawless stream of excellent games, but that's when they kicked up to their current high gear.
~25 GOTY awards overall and 2 BAFTA nominations (Best Animation and Best Performer in a Leading Role for Cody Christian as Cloud Strife). Not enough, if you ask me. Clearly the best game of 2020.
Final Fantasy VII Remake got annouced as a PS4/PC game? When? It's gonna happen at some point but I don't remember this ever happening.
To be fair the assumption is it will not stay exclusive because it's not from Playstation Studios but if we were to count games only playable on PlayStation (as of right now) it would likely be added. In all honesty, I find the snub for it in Best Music crazy as well as Doom Eternal with no nom there. Cyberpunk for 'best narrative' over Hades or TLoU:PII which genuinely did interesting things with the structure of their narratives is an odd one too.
On the OP topic, I think those noms are definitely deserved for SIE as a publisher they had a fantastic output.
That's a great line-up so it's not surprising. TLOU2 and GOT are among the very best games of the generation.
Wait what? Those are the awards they deserve the most.
That's not how you spell Uncharted 2.

I could be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure that was said back when the game got re-revealed at E3 2015, either listing both platforms in the trailer or in a press release shortly thereafter
