Oh for sure in the strategy category. Can a game be nominated for both best strategy game and best RPG?

Keighley announces The Game Awards 2019 to be held on 12.12.19 (5th Anniversary!)
- Thread starter Phendrift
- Start date
I can, give me that sweet Bayo 3 trailer and a surprise Metroid Prime Trilogy reveal instead.
Nope. Thursday just seems to be what works best. It's the holiday season so a lot of people (and companies) have holiday parties and weekend obligations.
Can confirm, my work holiday party is usually right around then
1. Where did I say this? Do you have a source?
2. There have been some fun Nintendo surprise wins at TGA too. I think Splatoon won one year, I remember that was unexpected.
3. I didn't have anything to do with VGAs 2003. I attended the show.
Thanks for playing.
We don't have anything to share yet on world premieres and games. But rest assured I have been working very hard to find some good things :)
I'm sad Reggie won't share the stage with you this year. :(
I just saw Reggie PAX weekend. He's enjoying his retirement.
Not expecting much this year. Everything is gonna be on lock down for next Gen. Console announcements.
Apologies if this has already been answered, but wasn't there some confusion on whether Death Stranding comes out soon enough to qualify for this year's Game Awards?
Fire Emblem is 100% taking Best RPG. Obsidian jank will block Outer Worlds from taking first there. (Also it's gonna sell pretty bad)

Total War: 3 Kingdoms.
Given the sparsity of RPGs, Greedfall might get nominated. That'd be someting.
That's true i forgot total war, should be between those two, i think the RPG awards will probably go to Kingdom Hearts or Outer Worlds if it's good, maybe even Astral Chain gets nominated in that category since there weren't a lot of big RPGs this year
Friday night is games night Geoff! If people are too busy, then they can't be gamers. Joke.
Keep up the good work though and make Bosman work hard.
This was still my favourite moment from all the TGAs thus far. Still fills me with such peaceful bliss.
(Best unscripted moment is a shout out to Mr. Fares for holding nothing back ahaha)
If he can keep the momentum going and make it the prime place for big announcements, he'll have this show for a looooooooooong time
Any hints in terms of what to expect with world premieres - more/bigger than past years? Similar?
I have really enjoyed the shows, and feel each year has been better than the last.
Fire Emblem is a lock for Best Strategy Game. The Best Family Game category will be a Nintendo filled bloodbath this year: Super Smash Bros., Super Mario Maker 2, Pokémon, Luigis Mansion 3,...
Best Fighting game is probably between Smash and MK11.
Best RPG? Fire Emblem has a good shot this year I would think? What other notable RPGs released this year?
Perhaps Astral Chain will get at least a nomination for Best Action Game?

Can you tell us if anything FromSoftware-related will be shown at this year's TGAs?
The other strategy titles were Frostpunk, Age of Wonders: Planetfall, and that game that looks like Advance Wars whose name I can never remember. That one actually got really good reviews, too.
I was dreaming....25th PlayStation anniversary, 5th anniversary of TGA. How about a tease/tie-in for PS5?
That would be a good thing, right?
Hey Geoff Keighley, I'm interested to know how you're going to handle the conflict of interest that exists between yourself and Kojima / Death Stranding, especially given that you're featured in the game.
I'm hoping Death Stranding will win GOTY just because you know there's gonna be conspiracy theories about Geoff rigging it in favor of Kojima.
Congrats on the 5 year anniversary Geoff Keighley , the show has been growing into quite the event, and I thought last year was very smooth.
Looking forward forward to it, hoping for some Elden Ring reveals!

There's no "conflict of interest".
*Wink* *Wink* Breath of the Wild 2 trailer *Wink* *Wink*
You got this Geoff!
Pokémon also has a good chance at best RPG too as well as The Outer Worlds (If that ends up getting good scores, I think that one wins best RPG). But yeah, its been kind of a not so notable year for RPG's besides Fire Emblem (which I think that or TW 3 Kingdoms wins best strategy. Three Houses vs. Three Kingdoms, what's your preferred Trio?) Wait...Indivisible is coming out this year and if that gets some solid review scores it'll definitely contend for best RPG. Oh right, KH3 came out too.
Though honestly you're not wrong about Best Family Game eventually being loaded with Switch games. I can see an indie like Untitled Goose Game getting a nom there too, but that last spot could go to Yoshi's Crafted World to make it a flow blown Nintendo category ha!
But we'll see in two months how the rest of 2019 games rate and see which games get the nominations. I'm rooting for Fire Emblem and Super Mario Maker 2 to do well when the show starts. Also Geoff, I know this year's Madden isn't the strongest, but maybe my game can contend for best Sports/Racing game?
Oh and one more thing, Ace Combat 7 hopefully gets a nomination for best action game and Best Original Score.

I'm aware of these rules. I still think a conflict exists. It's Geoff's show primarily. Beyond the voting categories there's other aspects of the show he's in charge of. I'm just asking for a statement of transparency. I'd argue that Kojima / DS have had more prominent featuring on the show over the course of the last 5 years than any other dev/game, now the game is out this year, and Geoff is featured in it.
