A few weeks ago a fight broke out in the office. Voices were raised, fingers were pointed and feelings were hurt, as we argued which of Cyberpunk 2077, The Last of Us Part 2 and Final Fantasy 7 Remake was the biggest game of 2020.
The answer of course is Cyberpunk 2077, a game so impressive that most people were positive it was being developed for next-gen consoles like the PS5 and Xbox X.
Another colleague is convinced that The Last of Us Part 2 is the biggest game of the year, to the point of incredulity that it's even up for debate.
Then there are the Final Fantasy 7 fans who have waited so long for a remake that there's no way anything else could possibly measure up.
There's no denying that all three games have their merits, and that Coronvirus not withstanding, 2020 is going to be a banner year for gaming.
But in order to settle the argument once and for all, Express Online has decided to hand things over to you, the readers.
Which is the highest-profile game of 2020, the main event, the title you're looking forward to most?
Is it CD Projekt's futuristic RPG Cyberpunk 2077? Is it Naughty Dog's Last of Us sequel? Or is the return of Square Enix's magnum opus an event without equal? Let us know by taking the poll below.
With an April 10 release date, Final Fantasy 7 Remake will be the first of the three blockbuster games to launch.
With Final Fantasy 7 Remake's release date just over a month away, fans can get a taste for the action by playing the recently released PS4 demo.
Available as a free PS4 download, the Final Fantasy 7 Remake demo drops players into the early stages of the game.
"The new demo features a lengthy segment from the very beginning of the game: the iconic bombing mission against the Shinra Electric Power Company, and the subsequent escape," reads a PlayStation Blog post.
"Youll control two of the games cast spiky-haired ex-SOLDIER Cloud Strife, and the ballistically-limbed Barret Wallace and enact a dangerous plan to infiltrate and destroy Mako Reactor 1."
Final Fantasy 7 Remake will be followed by PS4 exclusive The Last of Us 2 on May 29.
The Last of Us Part 2 sees a 19-year-old Ellie embark on what Sony describes as a "brutal journey of retribution".
While very little has been seen of the game in action, The Last of Us 2 is said to feature broader and more complex environments for players to explore.
As for Cyberpunk 2077, the ambitious open-world game was recently given a September 17 release date on PS4 and Xbox One.
Set in the futuristic location of Night City, players control a mercenary named V.
"You play as V, a mercenary outlaw going after a one-of-a-kind implant that is the key to immortality," reads the official description.
"You can customise your characters cyberware, skillset and playstyle, and explore a vast city where the choices you make shape the story and the world around you."
