Halo 4 and AssCreed 3 leading. Color me shocked. I wouldn't have put any money on those.

My personal votes go to P-100, Last of Us, and Watch Dogs, three new IPs that also look excellent.
 
Looks like gameinformer gave Gears of War: Judgement best of show(off the Gears facebook).

IGN doesn't have Tekken Tag 2 under best fighting game. Game of the Year right here and it's nowhere to be seen. Ridiculous.
 
If you guys have links to the nominations from the various media I'll gladly add it to the opening posts.
 
Watch Dogs

Last of us

Ubisoft

/thread

watch dog wasn't playable at all.

I think people is a little niave to think that the final product is like the same product running on alienware supreme super computers.. It remind me of the hyped up 2005 sony conference where the future really did looked fantastic for the PS3....

If i remembered correctly, ubisoft was the first to hype the xbox 360, the first to hype the ps3, then the first to hype the wii with shitty bullshots of that one game.

moral of the story? DON'T FUCKING BELIEVE UBISOFT'S HYPE. This game is just gonna turn into a shitty multiplatform yearly updated game.
 

From GS link

the AI in The Last of Us is so good that--until you see the same demo played through a second time and realize that characters' actions aren't scripted--it's hard to believe that it's AI at all. Joel and Ellie reference their surroundings as they converse believably, enemies behave differently depending on the weapon you're carrying and whether or not they outnumber you, and Ellie is quick to assist you in the event that you run out of ammo and subsequently find yourself on the receiving end of a beating
 
So that's like 5 "Best of Show - Winner" awards given out by GameInformer now...They gave one to SimCity too.

How does that work? Or is it per platform?
 
I don't get the praise for Last of Us. Looks pretty standard Uncharted to me. Oooo he recognized my gun was empty.

Watch_Dogs blows that game out of the water. But it looked very scripted and I doubt the whole game will play out like that segment.

Tomb Raider = Uncharted now.

This E3 stunk..
 
So how did this happen?

Did all the gaming media come together and decide to make ribbons or something? I don't remember them handing out trophies before. Maybe I just ignored it in the past.
 
I don't think my poor heart can take Dishonored being robbed...

Ok, way too many people are naming Dishonored on GAF. Can someone link me to whatever video it is that is blowing everyone's mind?

Anyway, pretty depressing to see the love for Halo 4 — they have addressed the things that were making the universe stale, and nothing that was making the gameplay stale. In fact, now that it is way more cramped and linear, so far it seems, they've actually made it worse from a gameplay perspective. And UGH, that green.

Assassin's Creed supposedly being a frontrunner is surprising too. Where are you getting the idea that these two games are "in the lead," OP?

I expect Watch Dogs to win the most, Last of Us second.

Darksiders 2 might be my own pick.

Did you bother to read any of the impressions at all from the journalists who played the game backstage? The Last of Us is atleast real. Watch_Dogs is in a pipe dream saddled deep into 2014.

I have to agree. Maybe it's something that has more impact when played, but I didn't really get what the big deal was about it, and neither did my friends who also watched the conferences.

I fell asleep during the Ubisoft presser, but I rewatched some Watch Dogs gameplay, and that looks like something to really be interested in. I'm really hoping the game has several different solutions to how you deal with objectives.
