Forums - Gaming - Predictions: GOTY Totals?

PS3: Demon's souls! - It was only released in Europe this year so should get a few.

PSP: MGS Peace Walker




This is not an exit.

Gonna go with XBox since it has Red Dead, Mass Effect 2 and Halo Reach.



It's just that simple.

truly, do you really expect them to get goty?

I could understand demon sould, but mgs?? really?? 89 meta btw



I think LittleBigPlanet 2 will snipe some GoTY awards.



Red Dead Redemption - PS3/360

Super Mario Galaxy 2 - Wii

Mass Effect 2 - 360/PC

StarCraft 2 - PC

Halo Reach - 360

God of War 3 - PS3

Little Big Planet 2 - PS3

World of Warcraft: Cataclysm - PC

It's a tie from me between PC, 360 and PS3 for quantity. If i had to go with any SINGLE platform though, i would choose the PC. StarCraft 2 is just too much to argue against IMO...

And i like how my list makes a cool shape.

I'm going to call PS3.

Red Dead Redemption and LittleBigPlanet 2 are both going to get massive numbers. SMG2 will have loads as well, but it would look slightly odd, since quite a few sites gave the award to SMG in 2007 (that said, quite a few gave it to LBP in 2008, but not nearly as many).

I'd like to think GoW3 and Heavy Rain will get a few. The rest, not really.

The Wii will be a very close second, but Wii games don't tend to review as well (put that down to what you will). SMG2 will get tons, Kirby might score a couple. I don't see Metroid or Monster Hunter getting any, really. Donkey Kong could get a few.

360 in third, largely thanks to RDR, with some help from Mass Effect 2. None of the others will really be GoTY material, I don't think.

PC in fourth. Some great games, but does anyone ever give the award to a PC game?

DS and PSP will both be way down, only because people don't even think about those two when handing out awards.

So yeah, PS3, with Wii a close second.

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West (PS360) and LA Noire (PS360) might get some, assuming the latter launches and the former is good. Probably more than Persona 3 Portable :-/

I'm just curious as to how Halo: Reach isn't GOTY material, unless you haven't been paying attention to what's been announced...



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

Other than some new powerups and weapons, I'm not aware of any massive changes to the Halo formula, but I could be wrong; I haven't really been following it.

EDIT: I'm not saying it won't be fantastic. I'm just saying it won't beat the likes of RDR, LBP2 and SMG2 (or ME2). It will certainly win some awards, just not a huge number.

Are people forgetting about Assassin's Creed Brotherhood?!!! I hope people realise that AC II did get just as many GOTY Awards as Modern Warfare 2. It's a Contender.

And you should add the following which aren't already on your list Seece. These are potential Contenders remember, not saying they will definitely get GOTYs:

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood (PS3/X360), Fallout New Vegas (PS3/X360) , Crysis 2 (PS3/X360/PC), Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker (PSP)

I put down ACB and FNV as PS3/X360 only because thoses are the platforms they're most likely to win on and Crysis 2 will contend for PC as well as all Consoles.

Put me down as PS3.

All I can predict right now with regards to GOTY Awards this year is that it won't be like 2009 where Uncharted 2 swept over 100 Awards. It's gonna be varied.
