Any Final Predictions for The Game Awards?
- Thread starter Parker
- Start date
Reminder to go vote for TLOU2 in the Players Voice poll because a bunch of people who haven't even played Tsushima are voting it up just to beat TLOU2 lol.
Naughty Dog games actually rarely ever win at the TGA/Spike Awards. Their games have been nominated for GotY four times before Part II (Uncharted 2, 3, 4 and TLoU) and has only won once (U2). So if anything other games have just as good, if not better of a shot at winning there.
I expect nothing in terms of reveals due to COVID and the new generation just starting. I feel expect something like Gamescom for the breath of the announcements. (lol at some people thinking Elden Ring will appear)
As for who wins, I think Hades. It seems like an indie darling and I feel Game Journo's want to steer clear of "gamer rage" if they give the award to TLOU2

I actually think Hades has just as much a chance at winning. It's a critic darling. It's between those two, anyway.
Announcing BOTW2 I think is almost as likely as an Elden Ring trailer. I choose to believe.
Oh that's interesting, I find it interested to watch but I don't really keep track year after year.
My personal pick is Flight Sim because it's just such an incredible achievement, but it wasn't even nominated. I don't even get the chance to play it that much, it's just so incredibly impressive to me that I think it deserves it.
After that I'm pretty torn between TLOU2, Animal Crossing, and Ori.
I think Hades is the sleeper pick given how much journalists adore it.
I also think a strong case can be made for AC. No other game had the wide reaching impact it did during the start of the Pandemic.
That said, probably The Last of Us pt 2.

I think Hades can win at least 3 awards like Disco Elysium last year.
Warzone had a much bigger reach than AC during COVID.
85 million players in less than 9 months it's crazy

I voted for Hades because it was the game I enjoyed the most.
Nintendo's "reveal showcase" will be headlined by a new Ghosts 'n Goblins game.
Bayonetta 3 will also finally see the light of day for the first time in years.
No BOTW2, however. That's being held for a Direct, next year.

Animal Crossing would be "Best Animation Film" like Disney/Pixar/Ghibli ... not Best Picture.. come on...
TLOU2 will clean up. Some big trailer debuts including Elden Ring and BOTW2. With something from Sony first party as well (GOW 🤞🤞)
bayonetta 3 and metroid prime 4 duke it out to determine which game doesn't exist the most. then the silent hill rumor crazy people come in with a metal chair and beat everyone up pro wrestling style
I can see Hades or ACNH taking GOTY. Hades because its become this beloved indie that a grand number of game journalists and the public have grown to love recently while ANCH is the one game on that list that got many different people into playing video games more so than any of those other games this year. But I do still think TLOU2 will eventually win the award since 1, people think recent bias wins these awards while the last 5 GOTY winners (From Witcher 3 to Sekiro) were all 1st half of the year game releases. Secondly, it doesn't get as prestige gaming as it gets with TLOU2 and while I haven't played it, I know its definitely a huge critical darling so I think it will take GOTY. Rooting for either ACNH or Hades because well, those are the only two GOTY nominations I played and I don't have a PS4.
For predictions on announcements, I think we'll see footage from one of Sony's big upcoming exclusives for PS5 (Thinking a toss up between Ratchet, Returnal or Horizon FW).

That is bullshit with the Oscars and that would be bullshit here. Come on.
I'm expecting the announcements to be pretty underwhelming to be honest. Just because of the year we've had, I don't think many companies will be too keen to promise much for 2021.
Also I haven't really seen Geoff hyping up the announcements too much, like he usually does. So it's either that he wants to spring some surprises or he's setting expectations correctly for once.

It's going to be TLOU2, but I would pick Hades. Even more so after Nathan's article today.
