The Game Awards GOTY Predictions?
- Thread starter DeoGame
- Start date
i am not saying it won't be deserved. it'll just raise eyebrows for many people, that's all.
According to their website, Nov 16th was the cutoff date last year, so Doom Eternal might not be eligible.
I don't doubt that.
But it just means they are ignorant fools who don't even know the rules about how the awards are picked. Geoff has nothing to do with it.
Resident Evil 2 Remake
Devil May Cry 5
Death Stranding
The Outer Wilds
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
I can pretty much guarantee you that Smash nor any other Switch game will be nominated. Smash will likely be nominated for best fighting game, and lose to Mortal Kombat 11. FE: Three Houses will be nominated for best RPG, and lose to Kingdom Hearts III. Astral Chain will be nominated for best action game, and lose to Sekiro.
It's, for all intents and purposes a heavily-upgraded port of the Wii U game. Plus typically GOTY nominees are given to games that evolve or change the medium in some way. Smash Ultimate is Malibu Stacy with a new hat.
Devil May Cry 5
Death Stranding
The Outer Wilds
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

The game was praised quite a lot with some calling it a masterpiece. Tho I might be bias since I enjoyed it so much.
I keep forgetting Smash came out after the cut off date lol
But yes Smash should get nominated
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, for sure
As much as i'd love to see FE3H, i don't think it will be nominated.
Gears 5
Sekiro
Death Stranding
To be fairly honest? I don't think RE2R will be nominated... Or maybe, if it is, it won't win. I just feel like it wouldn't.

I just don't think it will. While Sakurai deserves praise for his tireless work and being able to jam so much content into the game (with more to come), it doesn't change or evolve Smash Bros. in any way. It's still Smash Bros. It's still a fun game series and I love it, but even I can admit it likely wouldn't get as much attention as it does if not for the incessant debate about the roster. In fact, I daresay it has reached a point where the announcements of who is appearing in the game has dwarfed the game itself.
i think the nominees will be (assuming there's 6 games like last year):
sekiro
death stranding
smash ultimate
residen evil 2
gears 5
one indie game (like celeste was last year)

Anthem will sweep the GOTYs in every category because EA has blackmail "what you do in the Sims" on every voter
Yeah this is what I think asuming Death Stranding is good enough. If they don't consider giving it to Smash then RE2 will win for sure unless, again, Death Stranding is as good as everyone hopes.
Geoff doesn't get a vote. He has said before that he doesn't get a vote.
I agree that it will turn some heads, but if it wins, it isn't Geoff's fault.
He's not. He's literally just the host.
He doesn't decide the nominees and winners at all
the reviews for untitled goose game aren't that high. i think the indie slot will be filled by either outer wilds or slay the spire.
So far Death Stranding is the most interesting game coming up. But untill i play it cant say if it will be GOTY or not. I do hope so, for trying to do something new.
Actually so far this year thers no very strong GOTY contenters, thers alot of good games that can win but nothing really stands out to me.

I have 200 hours on FE3H, and it's a great game but too unpolished in many fronts to be GOTY. It's actually elevated a lot for having the best cast of characters in a FE game and amazing VA work and OST.
You folks do realise that Geoff posts on here? And by saying the show will be rigged or his favorite creator will win the awards, it's questioning the integrity of not only him, but all the people involved in production of this game?
Give your head a wobble!

From what was released so far I strongly suspect:
Mario Maker 2
Apex Legends
Control
Outer Wilds
Smash Brothers Ultimate (I'm pretty sure this was past the cut off time for last year's awards)
From what hasn't been released yet these have potential:
Outer Worlds
Death Stranding
Doom 2
Mario Maker 2
Apex Legends
Control
Outer Wilds
Smash Brothers Ultimate (I'm pretty sure this was past the cut off time for last year's awards)
From what hasn't been released yet these have potential:
Outer Worlds
Death Stranding
Doom 2
Ya, I mean has a FROM game won GOTY at any major award show like this? Maybe I'm wrong.
It's going to be Death Stranding against RE2 (maybe outer worlds if it's REALLY good).
The only game that is worthy of being there and will definitely won't be there is outer wilds.

You think Geoff is just gonna fake votes to make Death Stranding win?
I feel like that game is getting more press ironically than for it being actually good.
There really hasn't been a standout must-play indie game this year that has everyone talking. MAYBE The Outer Wilds, and man is it going to be confusing if both it and The Outer Worlds get nominated.
I know that DOOM Eternal is going to win Best Soundtrack
Locks:
•Resident Evil 2: Fantastic game and still the best reviewed game of the year. Only thing going against it is being a remake (pretty telling that this is THE negative)
•Sekiro: New IP? Check. Made by critical darling From? Check. Best reviewed game next to RE2? Check. Only thing going against it is Activision I guess.
• Fire Emblem: Three Houses: Members of the press who love this game really, really LOOOVE this game. They could push it to the top. Only thing going against it is its genre and being too anime for some.
Waiting in line:
•Gears 5: Good reviews and a return to form could push this as a fifth slot choice. Going against it: 85 metacritic score guarantees that it will crawl to get in. Also, it's an Xbox exclusive, and those hardly get anything.
• Outer Wilds: Just like FE:TH, people who love this game go bananas about it. Going against it: small indie title that is not universally loved as some other indie darlings like Celeste.
• Devil May Cry V: Great reviews could push it on the lower end of the list. Going against it: I'm not feeling it for some reason. DMC has never been GOTY material to the mainstream.
Waiting to be seeing:
• The Outer Worlds: This could be either fantastic or just okay. While it looks fantastic for my personal tastes, there's some jankiness that the press may not forgive like they did with PUBG (novelty or not)
• Death Stranding: this is a lock, come the fuck on. It could score an 85 or a 95 and it's gonna get in anyways. Kojima's comeback, Sony exclusive, a cast that only a starfucker could come up with, the list of pros are huge. It doesn't hurt that Kojima's buddy Geoff runs this entire circus.
• Pokemon Sword and Shield: if this scores above 90, it's totally getting in. Pokemon has never been GOTY material for the press but it could get in if the innovations and praise are too much to ignore.
• DOOM Eternal: all it needs to do to get in is to be as good as the original. If it does, it's in. Also, a lot of people believe the original was robbed, so there's that.

Ah ok, I haven't been following the reviews, I just have seen a bunch of people playing it so assumed it was good.
