I don't even like AAA games like that.
Games Award is just a straight insult for me since the winner is (almost) always the disgusting rated 18+ AAA games.
Peoples said most anticipated games this, most anticipated games that, but for me the anticipated games are the unpopular / underrated kids games.
I don't care the next Zelda games.
I don't care ff 7 stuffs.
I don't care next smash bros games.
I don't care spiderman stuffs.
I extremely hate and condemn every single upcoming rated 18+ games.
I hate Just Dance games with awful licensed songs.
I hate soccer games.
Those GOTY material for other people's are direct insult for me.
Whoever win in Game Award, I will keep getting upset.
Game Award is should never exist.
@FishyS LOL I actually had to look up what games were announced for next year so far because I couldn't think of any beyond what you mentioned 😅
I forgot the Persona 3 Remake was releasing next year maybe that might be on there? 🤔 It also looks like Tekken 8 is slotted for January next year which I'd imagine is a pretty big one.
@Anti-Matter That is fair! I don't usually take the game awards too seriously. I just think it's a fun way to reflect on the past year of video games with everyone
@FishyS The "Most Anticipated Game" award nominees can have any upcoming release date (including no release date), for example TotK was nominated for it in 2020. My guess for those nominees would be:
FFVII Rebirth
Metroid Prime 4
Wolverine
Elder Scrolls 6 (maybe replace this with Death Stranding 2)
@Grumblevolcano Silksong didn't occur to me. 😝 FFVII Rebirth is the only major definitely-2023 game I personally know of people impatiently waiting for.
Since one of the games in your list is ?? date, one predicted for potentially 2025 and one 2026, I stick with my original thought that not many big games are verified for 2023. 🤔 I wish Peach game would make the most anticipated list but I would be shocked if it did.
GOTY is gonna be an interesting one this year. Sooo many good games this year. Not sure what the nominees will be.
Based on what I'm seeing from online discussions, these three are consensus locks:
Zelda TotK
Baldur's Gate 3
Marvel's Spider-Man 2
The other three spots seem to be up for debate. Oh, and the constant elephant in the room when it comes to these debates seems to be Starfield and whether it will get nominated (or if it should).
@IceClimbers If a XGS game was to be nominated for GotY, it should be Hi-Fi Rush rather than Starfield. Starfield was hyped up for a long time and then turned out ok rather than being the megahit that Xbox needed meanwhile Hi-Fi Rush was shadow dropped to critical acclaim.
@NintendoByNature Yeah Alan Wake 2 has been mentioned a lot lately since it just released and therefore has recency bias on top of being highly rated. It wouldn't surprise me if it ends up being one of the nominees.
I mention Starfield as the elephant in the room because it's Microsoft's biggest game in years but was met with a more middling reception compared to other games from this year, so there's a lot of debate over whether it will get nominated. Personally I don't think it should, but gut feeling tells me it will.
@Grumblevolcano I very much agree there, Hi-Fi Rush should be nominated before Starfield if an XGS title is to be nominated.
@Grumblevolcano@IceClimbers Hi Fi Rush was my favorite xbox game this year, and really close to my top 3 for the entire year. Starfield was a good time, but didn't blow me away. Kind of how I feel about alan wake 2. Sea of Stars is maybe my 2nd or 3rd favorite game this year.
Still under the impression Metroid Prime 4 isn’t going to be at TGA, and the game is in dev hell. Nintendo didn’t even showcase TotK at TGA. What makes anyone so sure it’ll have a reveal here? They haven’t taken TGA seriously in years.

@VoidofLight forgot to reply about the sephiroth post you had. What was that? 3 years ago? I wouldn't even call a smash reveal a big presence at the game awards.
@IceClimbers My prediction for the nominees would be:
TotK
Baldur's Gate 3
Spider-Man 2
FFXVI
SMB Wonder
Resident Evil 4 Remake
I agree that TotK, Baldur's Gate 3 and Spider-Man 2 are guaranteed but as for the others.
I feel Wonder will get in because it's a really fresh take on 2D Mario after a long hiatus.
As FFXIV was both nominated for and won Best Ongoing Game in 2021 and 2022 (also nominated in a few other years), I feel FFXVI is likely to be nominated for GotY.
RE4 is one of those games people say is perfection and should never be remade as a result (Super Metroid also fits in this category) but Capcom did remake RE4 and it exceeded people's expectations so I feel it'll be nominated for GotY.
I'm guessing Serkan Toto's Zelda remaster/remake tease is going to be an announcement at the Game Awards - possibly a shadowdrop of the Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD ports that have supposedly been done for some time, with a physical release to follow sometime in December or January.
@PikaPhantom They most likely won’t be bringing anything to TGA. Why do people keep expecting Nintendo to be here when they’ve ignored the show for years?

Denial is a very strong tool.

I don't see Zelda stuff happening as TotK DLC is already deconfirmed and getting the final 2 3D Zelda games not on Switch in a year that already got a brand new Zelda game doesn't make sense unless they're planning to give OoT the FFVII Remake trilogy treatment on Switch 2.
@VoidofLight The only ones with no Nintendo game announcements in the event's lifespan were 2015 and 2021 (no game announcements at Game Awards 2015 made sense given the circumstances at the time):
2014 - BotW, Mario Maker
2016 - BotW
2017 - Bayonetta 1+2, Bayonetta 3, BotW Champions Ballad DLC
2018 - Joker in Smash Ultimate, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3
2019 - Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 DLC 2, Bravely Default II (3rd party exclusive published by Nintendo)
2020 - Sephiroth in Smash Ultimate
2022 - Bayonetta Origins, FE Engage DLC
So it's likely Nintendo will have some presence at the Game Awards this year. The current upcoming lineup doesn't really provide much opportunities though:
Unless the update alongside the Indigo Disk DLC fixes the performance issues with Scarlet/Violet, using the Game Awards to show it off would be a very bad idea
We already know everything we need to know about Another Code Recollection and Mario vs. Donkey Kong so it won't be those
Maybe a new Princess Peach Showtime trailer?
Maybe a new Side Order trailer as they did remind people about Big Run last year?
Revealing TTYD's release date in 2023 would harm Super Mario RPG sales
LM2 is a HD port releasing in Summer 2024 so more news at the Game Awards (i.e. release date) seems very unlikely
Metroid Prime 4 would be the perfect fit for the Game Awards
So that's why Prime 4 seems a likely candidate for Game Awards reveal out of stuff we know exists.
