Over the last several years, The Game Awards have slowlyreplaced E3as the biggest gaming event of the year.
The nominees across 30 different categories will be revealed during that livestream.
However, it seems likely you will be able to follow the show via The Game AwardsTwitchandYouTubechannels.
I cant fathom the series of decisions that would lead to either of those games not securing a nomination.
Marvels Spider-Man 2isnt necessarily guaranteed a nomination, but I have a hard time imagining it being snubbed here.
As forStarfield…well, Im torn between that andResident Evil 4Remakefor the final spot.
Despite some of my criticisms ofStarfield, its also a very good game.
Believe it or not, itsTears of the KingdomIm a little less confident in.
Appropriately enough, the final spot most likely goes toFinal Fantasy 16.
Again, that game has some issues, but the sheer scope of its cinematic audacity is undeniably stunning.
Its a truly exceptional RPG with one of the boldest and most satisfying role-playing stories of the year.
My guess is that enough voters will feel the same.
As forFinal Fantasy 16…well, I dont feel great about it, to be honest.
Again, I mean that purely from a logistical perspective.
That said, this is one area where Im really curious to see how the voters treatPhantom Liberty.
That said,Cocoonfeels like the front-runner in this category.
Its exactly the kind of game that this category exists to honor.
Im 90% confident both will get a nomination, and I could see either eventually winning this award.
That makes it both incredibly difficult to predict and a lot of fun to talk about.
Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubiconis probably the most obvious nominee here.
Honestly, I might even be selling it short elsewhere.
Id be surprised ifRemnant 2didnt get a nomination here, though this is certainly where things become more unpredictable.
A ton of buzz seems to be onRemnant 2s side, so I think it gets this valuable nomination.
Warhammer 40,000: Boltguns nomination may depend on how many people actually got around to playing it.
Its as glorious of a pure action experience as weve gotten this year.
Finally,El Paso, Elsewhereis simply my preferred dark horse candidate for this category.
Though sometimes clunky, its a wonderfulMax Paynethrowback with style to burn.
