Game Awards 2023

[Iceman]

Five nominees at most per category at TGA? For GOTY, they could do like the Oscars and increase the nominees up to ten.

Might be a good idea, especially in a year like this.

 

[Gee]

The Golden Joystick Awards just happened. BG3 nabbed five seven awards including Ultimate GOTY (fan voted) and AW2 got the Critics' Choice.

Great to see both of those games rewarded. Hopefully some of that can spill over into the Game Awards.

Alan Wake and Baldur's Gate with the most nominations, awesome.

December 7, 2023. Any game of the year nomination predictions? And game announcement predictions?

I can see Resident Evil 4, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Baldur's Gate, Starfield, Spider-Man 2 and Diablo IV being nominated for game of the year.

So from that post, I got 4 right. Plus I also mentioned Alan Wake 2 in the previous page. I'm not really aware of Nintendo games, so thats why I didn't think of Super Mario.

Over all, pretty predictable.

I guess I should play them Alan Wake games, huh?

Haha. The first one might feel a bit dated but it’s certainly got its charm. This second one looks like a huge upgrade all round though. I knew Remedy had a lot of underlying talent but this looks like they’re ready to take the step up to the next level as a dev.

Happy to see Hi Fi Rush get a good number of nominations. Kind of sad SF 6 didn't get a GOTY, but I guess its stacked against fighting games.

Kind of shocked that Wonder got a nomination.

I’m also very happy for Hi-Fi Rush and sad for SF6. Seems like fighting games and driving games (Forza Horizon 5 also had a 92 meta like SF6) don’t get taken seriously at TGA these days.

We all know it got in there because of the singing piranha plants.

 

[Sithborg]

So Hogwarts Legacy fans are upset that it got no noms.

And I am laughing at them.

I am too. Even without the baggage of the IP, the game is fairly mediocre, perfectly fine for what is, but nothing special.

True innovation right there.

8:00 EST/5:00 PST. With a half hour preshow before the main show.

 

[psylockolussus]

I'm perched for the game reveals!

 

[Arnold Rimmer]

Kind of odd that we don't have any announced reveals aside from Prince of Persia. They must be keeping a ton of surprises.

 

[Iceman]

Wonder already on the board, winning Family game.

 

[Sithborg]

Prozd game!!!

 

[Sithborg]

Forza takes home award for accessebility

 

[Sithborg]

An ASL Disney game?

 

[OtherwiseKnownAs]

I know, know, that this is the year, this is the night, they finally announce PC Bloodborne.

Spoiler

 

[Iceman]

Samsung Gaming hub. That might catch on with casuals.

 

[Sithborg]

Is Atlus ever going to make Persona 6?

 

[Sithborg]

Time to get the main show started.

All hail the Dorito Pope.

The security is obvious
