I only wanted to add the 5 likeliest options to the OP. Well what I thought the 5 likeliest options were. 

Evolve? Where did you dig that one up? It won't even be game of the month, I think it will be an average game with below average sales.

i want Bloodborne to win im not gonna lie, i understand that Zelda is a great franchise but i havent seen anything in the new zelda that makes me thinks its an automatic GOTY, (plus thats also because we havent seen much of it either, we only have an off-screen gameplay demonstration of the game in a very early state) plus its not the first time we see a open world game (although it maybe the first time we see a cel shaded open world game). so i would like to see more on it before saying its GOTY.

Uncharted is looking solid with a lot of improvements in gameplay, map design and graphics, so its defenetly up there on the competition (considering that the game will mantain/improve the whole quality of the past installments)

MGS V is also another one that could take the GOTY and then theres the Witcher 3... a lot of competition for that GOTY prize next year, it will be an interesting battle but i feel that regardless of who wins there shouldnt be people pissed, since any of this games look to have the quality of a Game of the Year.

No Halo 5?

Meh I don't care what the media thinks though lol

Media will pick whichever game is the most over hyped

Really?

If No Man's Sky lives up to the hype it will be GOTY.

No Mans Sky looks like its going to be fun

No Witcher 3 listed in OP makes this thread lolz
And Evolve doesn't stand a chance in hell from what I've played. The media might be hyping it now like they did with Titanfall but they'll quickly forget about it once it's time for award season.

If I had to put money on the top 5 candidates for GotY 2015, today, I would put it on Witcher 3, Uncharted 4, MGSV, Arkham Knight, and Halo 5 (assuming that the third time is the charm in that they finally deliver on MP at launch)

Other possible of course are Bloodborne, Tomb Raider, Quantum Break, Zelda (though I have some doubts about it actually doing next year), Mass Effect 4 if it hits next year which is a possibility, No Man's Sky (though I personally just don't get it), Star Wars Battlefront if they nail it...... idk there might be more but that's top of my head

It's going to be a close battle between UC4 and Zelda U!
