The Game Awards 2015 Nominees announced [Full list in OP]

I see they didn't have the balls to nominate Undertale in GOTY. Best RPG isn't enough. No Rocket League?

Gotta keep the big boys happy I guess.

hard to predict what will actually win. witcher combat and menu navigation were issues, fallout broken and more of the same, mgs story issues, bloodborne not very accessible but this one has the least issues . i can't see mario maker winning

Having both Splatoon and Mario Maker, the state splatoon released in was way fucking worse tham Mario Maker.
Yeah but Splatoon became robust with free downloadable content WITHIN THE YEAR.

Where the fuck is Rocket League, too? That game is going to be timeless.

Was actually expecting splatoon over mario maker as the token nominee

Lol first post strikes again.

Wanted to point out the definitely not winning Nintendo token nominee, guess they just went with the highest meta one.

Also Damn NMS is really anticipated hard, twice on the list!
 
Witcher 3 seems the shoo-in, although my pick has been and will continue to be MGS.

Funnily enough I see Horizon being the one to take the most anticipated award.

If Bloodborne doesn't win Best Art Direction award I am going to flip my shit. Also Transformers: Devastation not nominated for the best soundtrack?

Full list of other nominations here: http://thegameawards.com/nominees/

GOTY Nominees:

  • Bloodborne
  • MGSV
  • Super Mario Maker




Most Anticipated Nominees:

Horizon: Zero Dawn
The Last Guardian
No Man's Sky
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
No Man's Sky

That is a very strong Game of the Year line up.

Most Anticipated Nominess sponsored by Sony? No Mans Sky so anticipated it made the list twice! :)
 

Skiesofwonder

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
Zelda WiiU not being in the most anticipated most likely means it will not be shown this year.

The Best Fighting Game category is sad. Not because the games are bad or anything but because 2015 was so dry for the genre that a failed 2v2 brawler and an incomplete game in open beta take up half the spots.

Yes.

Shooters Nominees:

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3
Destiny: The Taken King
Halo 5: Guardians
Splatoon
Star Wars Battlefront

Hope I'm not souding too bias but Splatoon is the freshest. Would be fun to see Nintendo win Shooter category instead of usual suspects.

I guess Tales From the Borderlands couldn't make the cut as the first episode didn't come out this year, otherwise it SURELY needed a spot!
