Prediction Contest - Will Starfield win the Steam´s Most Innovative Gameplay Award?

[AdahnGorion]

As the title says, do you think that Starfield will win the award?
Starfield is one of the finalist in that catagory and it is up against a few other games, that I will list further down. What is your pick? If its Starfield, then why do you think it should win?

Here is a link to the

Games listed for this award, is show below.

Starfield
Remnant II
Your Only Move Is HUSTLE
Contraband Police
Shadows of Doubt


I personally think Starfield will win, mainly because it is a big AAA game, its only real competitor is Remnant II and I think Starfield will win, due to popularity voting.

As for what I would have picked myself, I think Shadows of Doubt


Please remember to be respectful to everybody and remember that it is alright to have different opinions. Also remember that its alright to list the great things about Starfield, but also the not so great things, everything is nuanced.

Now there is only one thing left.. Do you think Starfield will win?

Starfield getting nominated for Most Innovative is the funniest ♥♥♥♥ ive seen in a while.

This game is the epithamy of dated design bringing literally nothing new or innovative to the table.

Stray as a worse contender, eventually winner, of this nomination to be honest.
At least Starfield has some sort of modern gameplay in it.

What modern gameplay does Starfield have?
What game do you think should win? of the nominated for the finals?

Only category Starfield should be in is biggest letdown of the year or worse game of the year. Then again there are 2 games actually worse than Starfield, so I doubt Starfield could even win that award. As for innovative gameplay what is innovative about startfield? it has worse gameplay than fo4/fo76 somehow.

We really need a razzie awards section, for games that are exceptionally poor in different categories. It would put a nice spin on the broken "popularity contest" if a game getting an innovation award also received biggest letdown award.

Popularity contest are just that.. what is popular.
Its perfectly fine for what it is. We already had TGA, where its not just popularity (that is actually a minor fraction of vote that is allocated for users)

Well I did as well, mainly because I think its the best candidate and deserves it.
I voted for Shadows of Doubt in the innovative, but tbh.. its an EA game, so it most likely will not win. I think Starfield will win, but Remnant II could pose a threat, mainly because people seem to either vote to grief Starfield.

you are not wrong about that.


although I think Starfield will win.

Indeed.
Remnant II could pose a threat, but I don´t really think it ultimately will. But we will find out next year, whom did the correct predictions.

Starfield will win it.

I will wish for a better game quality this time!

I think we have had many quality games in 2023, its been an awesome year overall tbh.
That being said, it will be interesting to see whom wins the Steam awards.

Most Innovative Gameplay in the sense it's the most backward gameplay up to date. It's like a boomer shooter but for late 2000s, and not using the modern technology nor modern experience in game design, story telling, etc.

Boomer shooters have way better gunplay than Shartfield.

Raspberry Awards for games are the only awards Shartfield could legitimately win.

I guess it depends on what you want ofc.
That being said, the gunplay is not innovative in any way.

I think they look better than many expected tbh.
But overall Starfield is not really (atleast for me) a bad or good game, its a decent game for what it does.. the main issue is that many wanted something different.

As for the award, its a popularity contest, but I still think Starfield will win it.

What was innovative in Starfied? I must be missing something but its like a rigged vote.

It is not a rigged vote.
It is a popularity contest. Everybody could vote on whom they think should be nominated for the finals and Starfield has been one of the most voted for in that catagory.

It is entirely userbased.

Rules are that games can only enter 2 catagories and thus a game like BG3 could not go in other catagories than GOTY and Best Story (since that is the cap) but effectually (it does not belong there) it could have gotten more votes than Starfield in that catagory, but not able to win a spot, due to already having 2.

I assume people that love Starfield, voted the game for every avaliable slot they could.
Hence why it is in this catagory.
