I think Advanced Warfare takes both categories. Destiny has better shot at Best online.

Dark Souls 2/Bayo2/SSB4 say HELLO.........

That said I need to play DA I. My friend keeps going on about it :0

most likely Far Cry will take best shooter and Titanfall or COD will take best online but there is still a decent chance for best soundtrack

I will not be surprised if Bayo 2 win the GOTY, i think this is the year of Bayonetta just becausa all the concerns about his lauch, about how it was near to death and nintendo bring it back to life, about how it surpass the sales of the original bayonetta in each console, whatever, it's a game with a back history of superation and deserves the GOTY.

However, i will laugh a lot if the best game of the first year of the 8° generation is a Wii U exclusive, but i think thats really necessary to other companies give to their consumers the respect that they deserves. No one wants another year with so much hype around some games like Destiny, Titanfall and Watch Dogs, it's so disapointing when you purchase a game that you are waiting for since the beggining of the year and is.. just.. far from the expectations.

Some shitty categories.

Games for Change? Most Anticipated Game? Best Family Game? ESports POTY? Trending Gamer?

Some glaring omissions.

MLB 14: The Show is by-far the best sports/racing game and isn't nominated.
DKC: Tropical Freeze has by-far the best soundtrack and isn't nominated.

theres at least 10 more games that should me nominated right ? so why only pick UC4 ? its the only game on the list with a 10 seconds teaser trailer. I call this BS. srry but it is.

Well I guess you confirmed it then, you have been living under a rock. Watch the new trailer, it's not 10 seconds and actually reveals something about the game.

Sure there are TONS of games that should be nominated, but the list has to be narrows down to the most HYPED games of 2015, and whether you like it or not Uncharted 4 is one of them.

I will consider the show acceptable when Bayonetta 2 wins GOTY , Smash U best Fighter and Smash 3DS best Handheld.

bolding the one's i think are gonna win.
