If God of War doesn't win GOTY then it got robbed. Red Dead 2 is amazing, but it's Rockstar. You expect it, and with all the time and money they had to make the game it's just not a fair fight. Not to mention it's multiplat and for whatever reason that's used against masterpieces like GoW just because more people play multiplats.

GoW gave new life to a franchise that nobody thought would be relevant on that level again. Well, PS fans did because they spot a great game a mile away. But that's beside the point. If it doesn't win i'm done with these award shows.

Sony has 21 award nominations compared to just 3 for Microsoft. Let that sink in for a minute.

You can vote at the GA website, if you want. You have to sign up (register) to vote, and I didn't want to do that. I would've voted for God of War. I know RDR2 deserves it, though.

21 nominations, that's a good year.

AC Odyssey got left out of the Best RPG category, which seems like a slight.

I'm more surprised that the actress got a nomination, she sounds fake as hell as does the guy playing Alexios for most of it. It all just sounded a bit cartoonish to me, at least it did for the majority of it. There were times he did a good job but those were the more serious moments, the general conversation stuff he sounded like a guy doing an accent and everything I've heard from her is the same thing, I blame that on the director more than the performers though.

I think both GOW and RDR2 deserve it to be honest, I could pick one today and change my mind to the other the next. This was just an awesome year for story telling in games.

Yup. "Ultimate GOTY." I guess it's hard to argue with that. It's a massive success. I read yesterday it had over 8 million concurrent players, which is far beyond the earlier record (which was like 3 million, I think). Crazy. Of course, it's free-to-play, so that helps.
 
While I disagree with the Skyrim VR award it's not a terrible choice after the latest patches.
 
Why does fortnite get to win competitive game of the year when it released last year?
 
10 new game announcements, that's pretty good. Better than some E3 presentations.
 
I hold my excitement for anything Keighley says.

Yeah, he's a master of hype. But still, 10 is 10, so that's just a bare fact. (Actually, now that I re-read it, it says "More than 10.")

I'm glad he clarified, because at first he said "game-related announcements," which could include some add-ons or DLC (e.g., new weapon for Fortnite, big whoop). At least here he is saying "games" not "game-related announcements."

That's cool, he's a great actor. Never liked Geoff that much, feels.... fake (?) to me or something idk. Prob going to be a good show nonetheless.
 
There is a Dragon Age announcement teased for December. It could be at the Game Awards.


Casey Hudson: “We’re also working on some secret Dragon Age stuff. Dragon Age is an incredibly important franchise in our studio, and we’re excited to continue its legacy. Look for more on this in the coming month (though I won’t tell you where to look).”

I hope it's an actual sequel and not some smaller project like a mobile game.
 
Rocksteady said their next game isn't Batman and it won't get shown at the Game Awards.

There are rumors that Ghost of Tsushima and Death Stranding will get trailers with release dates. I'm doubtful of the latter, though wouldn't be too surprised if Ghost of T. got a release date or at least a release quarter. TLoU2 was also spotted in one of the GA trailers, so it'll probably be there in some form, too. So it looks like we'll get an update on the major Sony exclusives.

Why do people care if some actor is in the show? Does he have some significant gaming presence?


Some people might think it’s neat, some might think it’s a form of acceptance or recognition from the establishment that is Hollywood who is look to as classical with said actor. He may not be tied to gaming directly, but soon manga, he’s atleast seems to be interested in it and or intrigued

***Rumor Alert*** Mortal Kombat XI To Be Revealed At The Game Awards 2018

New Info:


QA tester started to leak the game yesterday:
  • Reveal in VGA
  • It will have 4 years of dev cycle (1 year concept 3 year full development) longest to date.
  • Concepting actually even started while making MK X. They were always thought back to back games in terms of story
  • It has proper adventure mode , new version of Shaolin Monks type of gameplay. pretty big deal , you can play and customize your character in this mode,lots of items for customize weapons etc s*** too. Also boxes (daily, buyable etc..)
  • Adventure mode is 2 player co-op , online or single. drop in drop out
  • Story mode and adventure are different both are included. story mode is normal NRS game style.
  • Story evolve about 3 main character
  • Punishing raiden ; hes now punishing anyone trying to even dare to attack earthrealm
  • Emperor liu kang and empress kitana ; preparing army and trying to find something of stone left from ages of those deity gods in MK universe(cant remember names elder god or something)
  • Shang Tsung and Reiko they made deal with Kotal Kahn to protect and rule outworld security , reiko has it's own agenda though gets killed middle of it.
  • Uses UE4 instead of UE3 like all other games of NRS
  • Animation cancel its actually not a.cancel but something of pseudo of it. Much as you can expect from a western company i guess looks infinitely better than MKX in terms of animations. Something similar to UMK.
  • Fujin is playable character
  • Johnny cage,goro,sonya,kano,baraka,mileena,ferratorr %100 not playable
