It keeps getting better. I truly believe this will be game of the year. It sounds too promising and has too much media attention not to.

I agree that Witcher 3 will probably win GOTY. Arkham Knight and MGS V are likely contenders though, maybe Bloodborne but probably not since it's an exclusive. If Bethesda announces Fallout 4 at E3 with a Holiday release, it will probably win GOTY though, Bethesda's last 4 games won GOTY.


Those three will be neck and neck. Arkham Knight has dual play where you can switch between different playable allies in combat. MGSV will be great, no doubt; it's Kojima's last Konami offering. I don't think Bloodborne will win too many IMO. But I just feel something special about TW3. I feel like a much more alive and improved version of Skyrim.

Yea Bethesda has a knack for taking home awards lol.

Yeah, I think the GOTY race will be close this year between Witcher 3, MGS V, and Arkham Knight. I agree that Bloodborne probably won't win many GOTY awards since it's exclusive and not as mainstream as Witcher 3, Arkham Knight, and MGS V. Bloodborne will probably take Best PS4 game, Rise of the Tomb Raider will probably take best Xbox One game, Halo 5 will probably take Best Shooter and/or Best Multiplayer, Xenoblade Chronicles X will probably take Best RPG. Best Soundtrack, hard to say at this point, I love Witcher 3's soundtrack personally and think it'll at least get a nomination.

That they do. I don't think Fallout 4 will release this year though, despite Tidux saying it will. It'll probably be a 2016 release. I think GOTY 2016 will be another close race though, Fallout 4, Zelda U, Uncharted 4, all series with previous GOTY wins under their belt. Rockstar also said they'd be announcing their next game this year, which means it'll probably release in 2016 as well, and Rockstar has several GOTY wins under their belt as well, same as Bethesda. 2016 will definitely be another close GOTY race.


All predictions sound about right.

I don't think Fallout 4 will release this year either, as I am pretty sure Bethesda's announcements have previosuly come at minimum 8 months in advance of release(?) Throw a few other unannounced titles in there as well as FFXV, which may have a shot.

About the cover art: The forerunner construct is a guardian sentinel ( hence the answer is in plain sight reply). They were burried on the ark to protect it and are the baddest forerunner war machines they created. They were supposed to be in Halo 3 but they scrapped that ( you can find some concept art about them). So fairly obvious in the E3 trailer chief was on the ark and awoken it. Now it's protecting something forerunner, maybe mendicant bias?

The Mortal Kombat Cup is using the ps4 version, it really doesn't seem ms got the marketing for this one jay.

Which is a good thing.

Just saw that the ESL Championship for FIFA 15 in Germany is on the PS4. MS got the marketing for FIFA but if you want to play competitive at the ESL you need a PS4? Lol MS...

Edit: I posted that before I read Tiago's post, now that's a coincidence^^

I fear that the FIFA ESL thing is also the case in UK (but no idea) so that it would be even for a market they care about I find it just confusing how you pay for exclusive rights but then the competitions console is still the console used in tourneys.
