Game Awards 2020

Lovely. If it were me I would nominate animal crossing. I think that was probably the biggest cultural moment of the year. Not sure it will win though. Obviously it wasn’t a great year for humanity but it was a spectacular year for video games
 
Animal Crossing
Final Fantasy VII
The Last of Us Part II
Ghosts of Tsushima
Doom Eternal
Assassin's Creed Valhalla
Cyberpunk 2077

Most likely at least three of those would get nominated in Goty. Resident Evil 3 could have been easy pick if only that game was faithful to the original while eXpanded things like Re2r. Watch Dogs Legion would be a nice surprise.

Would Valhalla and Cyberpunk make the deadline? I remember Fallen Order not being nominated because it was released in late November. Maybe that game would get some nominations this year.
 
Any guesses who would be nominated for this year's game of the year?
Ghost of Tsushima. Specially after next week's update.
Sucker Punch should get it for best developer as well. I don't even know if that's a category but it should be now.

It should at least get a nomination for Best Action Adventure.

I don't think Best Developer eXists.
 
Ghosts of Tsushima and Doom Eternal would be good calls.
 

Would love to see Half-Life: Alyx and Hades be nominated in the GOTY category. Nonetheless, TLoU Part 2 has it in the bag.
 
It probably is Last of Us, but I think Ghost has potential for a surprise win, like Sekiro.

So we are looking at the worst game of the year in a long time, no matter which wins. Just give it to Persona 5 Royal. It is technically a new game and actually a really good one. :D
 
I think Ac Valhalla is a shoe in for goty especially now that Cyberpunk isn't eligible for this year. Unless Valhalla is a big stepdown from Odyssey.

Last of Us 2
Half Life AlyX
Assassin's Creed Valhalla
Doom Eternal
Animals Crossing
Ghosts of Tsushima
Final Fantasy VII

Well almost the same as my list above. Unless we somehow get big surprises in November. I don't think Miles Morales would be nominated for goty but who knows.

Anyway I'm more interested about new game reveals and announcements. Thats the eXciting part.

I think Animal Crossing could be the surprise win. It's the game that brought everyone together in this pandemic.

I'll have to play one of those Persona games one day. P4 Golden was just released over the summer on Steam and sold like hotcakes. Not bad for an 8-year-old game. :o

What about something like Among Us or Fall Guys?

It's scary how popular the last two have been. Same with their longevity. :hehe:

They are way too big, and so melodramatic. But as someone who played way too many JRPGs as a kid, once I started playing Persona 4 and 5, I fell in love. Especially with 5. Even with my OCD and fear of missing things, it really got me going. I have Royal and am about to jump back in. Pretty excited.
 
Among Us is 2 years old.

I could see Fall Guys getting a surprise nomination.

Fall Guys getting a nom would be a surprise indeed. Season 2 recently went live and I feel like the game overall just came and went...

20K-25K concurrent players on Steam are still good numbers, but then you compare those with 160K back in mid-August. Among Us definitely stole some thunder and there's Phasmophobia being a perfect co-op game during this spooky month that definitely does no favors to FG.
 
Quite a few of the streamers I follow play Fall Guys often, so while I'm sure the hype has died down a bit, I still see it quite a bit. Game of the Year may be a stretch, but an esports award is defitnetly possible.
 
I'm wonderingif Fallen Order gets nominated especially for Action Adventure. I remember that was the one big game from last year that didn't make the "cut off point" so it wasn't nominated for anything.
 
If Ghost Of Tsushima isn't the GOTY, it's all a sham.
 
Yay hades! Very well deserved and great to see an indie get some love.

geez Sony did very well for themselves.

fingers crossed for Ghost!
 
Pretty embarrassing it doesn't have Alyx. Ambitious VR game that tried to improve stale condition of the industry. Speaks everything about game "journos".
