Everything was star wars

Then launches as a broken mess

MouldyK · Aug 7, 2015

I see EA bought their way into awards again.

GifGafIsTheBestGaf · Aug 7, 2015

everything was star wars

ArkhamFantasy · Aug 7, 2015

Dang, Battlefront is cleaning up.

Toki767 · Aug 7, 2015

Weird. Why wouldn't Battlefront win for best Xbox game if it won it for PS4?

OdysseusVA · Aug 7, 2015

The Wii still going strong

Corpekata · Aug 7, 2015

Unravel is a strategy game?

TomShoe · Aug 7, 2015

Do Sony or Nintendo even qualify?

Why? Both games are going to be available on both console.

EA couldn't afford it...or the Xbox One version is shoddy/not available.

Yeah this.

What?

Yikes... Not even an exclusive?

RevolverRoden · Aug 7, 2015

lol @ Star Wars. Isn't it just a generic FPS or am I missing something?
At least MGSV is finally getting recognized.

Magic Mushroom · Aug 7, 2015

Unravel is more of a puzzle platformer.
Plays really well.

So does Cuphead. Amazing game.

nortonff · Aug 7, 2015

oh the love xbox got for that 900p resultion

Dawg · Aug 7, 2015

Because Gamescom awards mean nothing.

Kssio_Aug · Aug 7, 2015

Best Console Game Microsoft Xbox
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (Konami Digital Entertainment)

Seriously? Not saying MGSV won't be awesome, but in my honest opinion Scalebound and Crackdown 3 were more special in this even by now. Specially Crackdown 3 for its tech.

Only my humble opinion though.

NoctisVsStar · Aug 7, 2015

best fighting game SFV

in my heart

Goldenroad · Aug 7, 2015

You mean this part?

Best Console Game Sony Playstation
Star Wars Battlefront (Electronic Arts)

Best Console Game Microsoft Xbox
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (Konami Digital Entertainment)

I'm guessing it's because Battlefront was not shown on XB1 at Gamecom, so you can't really call it the best game on that console based on this showing.

You spread the awards around. This is normal.

SolidSnakex · Aug 7, 2015

They only judge games based on the platforms it was shown on. Battlefront was only playable on the PS4 and PC and gamescom.

enigmatic_alex44 · Aug 7, 2015

Triforce Heroes for best mobile game though?!

I'm a massive Zelda fan and even I'm lukewarm on that one... Game isn't looking too hot atm.

mrmickfran · Aug 7, 2015

Xenoblade > Mario Maker

This is so funny and sad at the same time.

Pankratous · Aug 7, 2015

Well I guess that multiplayer award confirms Metal Gear Online 3 wasn't shown in any capacity.

Ok, these are weird

LowSignal · Aug 7, 2015

I want battlefront to be be good but after being burnt on not only a Xbox one BF and season pass but also the PS4 version and season pass it's hard to believe this isn't going to launch messed up.

Springy · Aug 7, 2015

Did they pick these out of a hat

ezekial45 · Aug 7, 2015

Multiplatform should have a dedicated award. This is just nonsense.

GnawtyDog · Aug 7, 2015

EA got that box ammo.

Toki767 · Aug 7, 2015

Lord of Castamere said:

But it won Game of the show + Best PS4 game + Best PC game

It would be different if Best Xbox game was an exclusive, but this is weird.

Chezzymann · Aug 7, 2015

Wait both battlefront and MGS are multiplatform so why are the best of Xbox and PlayStation different

SolidSnakex said:

Oh that makes sense

Kenzodielocke said:
Yeah, but TPP is not playable on XB1 at gamescom.

Now it doesn't and I'm confused again

Leafhopper · Aug 7, 2015

Also Super Mario Maker is a WiiU game.

Ehh, Mario Maker has pretty much gotten universal praise so far while Xenoblade seems to have mixed impressions.

Spread Awards Around...5/18 Wins for Battlefront...

...I guess 33% of the Wins would seem too suspicious.

Leafhopper · Aug 7, 2015

BaronMonstro said:

Yarn over our eyes.

Bsigg12 · Aug 7, 2015

These awards make no sense.

Was MGSV even playable on the Xbox One there?

Actually, I'm pretty sure if was only playable on PC/PS4.

Yep.

Vandiger · Aug 7, 2015

Starwars Battlefront will be awesome or did EA just bribe their way to an award? Shame EA has eroded any goodwill from me.

shwimpy · Aug 7, 2015

Battlefront is gonna make bank for Sony/EA. Dat unprecedented partnership.

EGM1966 · Aug 7, 2015

How does this make a lick of sense?

Best of gamescom
Star Wars Battlefront (Electronic Arts)

Most Wanted Consumer Award
Star Wars Battlefront (Electronic Arts)

Best Console Game Sony Playstation
Star Wars Battlefront (Electronic Arts)

Best Console Game Microsoft Xbox
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (Konami Digital Entertainment)

It's like they have to have PS4 and XB1 have different games and decided to go with the best game overall for PS4 but switch to MGSV for XB1. I guess I shouldn't even waste brain cells on this as show awards are fairly useless IMHO and pretty suspect but still. That's just a zero sense decision.

Kouichi · Aug 7, 2015

Good to see Battlefront putting in work.

jeffers · Aug 7, 2015

Dont get the "wii" thing, just seems disrespectful to not get it right?

Also amazed nintendo won in a handheld category, I feel thats nearly always given to some random mobile game.

Oersted said:
Its also Playstation 4 and Xbox One. They are counted as one console family respectively.

Ah I see. Looks so stupid.

JayEH · Aug 7, 2015

The hilarious thing is that MGS was shown on ps4.

Glad to see it win best action game though.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
