Looking forward to seeing it later. Hopefully it isn't going to be as embarrassing as last year. 

 

As any year i don't really care what game wins what award. I mostly just watch for the announcements (hopefully there will be some tonight) Altough i'm secretly rooting for South Park: The Stick of Truth to win the awards in the catagories they're nominated in. Since that was my personal GotY

Probably won't see it live tonight, as they start at 2:00 in the morning by my time but i'll just watch a recording tomorrow.

Anyway here's my predictions:

 

Game of the Year

  • Bayonetta 2 – Platinum Games/Nintendo (feel it deserves it)

Best Shooter

  • Wolfenstein: The New Order – MachineGames/Bethesda (only one that didn't disappoint in any way)

Best Action/Adventure

  • Bayonetta 2 – Platinum Games/Nintendo (though i feel Alien Isolation has good chances as well)

Best Role Playing Game

  • Dark Souls II – From Software/Bandai Namco (this and South Park are on par to me, but sadly i doubt South Park will win any awards)

Best Fighting Game

  • Super Smash Bros. Wii U – Nintendo (duh)

Best Family Game

  • Mario Kart 8 – Nintendo (didn't play any of the rest but i doubt they'll be able to touch Mario Kart)

Best Sports/Racing Game

  • Mario Kart 8 – Nintendo (i'm not really the kinda guy to judge this genre, not my thing really)

Best Online Experience

  • Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft – Blizzard (personally Dark Souls 2 was my fav online experience but i'm pretty sure Hearthstone will win something and this is where its chances are best)

Best Mobile/Handheld

  • Bravely Default – Square Enix (we need a game like this on Ps4, yet square doesn't seem to realize the demand is there)

Best Remaster

  • Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire – Game Freak/Nintendo (more of a remake than a remaster, seems like unfair competition here lol)

Best Narrative

  • The Wolf Among Us – Telltale Games (Liked South Park better, but from a critical standpoint, TWAU has an overall higher quality story

Best Score/Soundtrack

  • Destiny – Marty O’Donnell, Bungie/Activision (Such a good soundtrack for such a mediocre game)

Best Independent Game

  • Shovel Knight – Cellar Door (should even be nominated for Game Of The Year if you ask me)

Games for Change

  • Valiant Hearts: The Great War – Ubisoft (Could everone stop dryhumping TLoU and appreciate this little gem?

eSports Player of the Year

  • i have no idea who these people are

eSports Team of the Year

  • again no idea

Trending Gamer

  • TotalBiscuit (please don't give this to PewDiePie)

Best Fan Creation

  • Twitch Plays Pokemon by Anonymous (pinnacle of modern society)

Developer of the Year

  • Nintendo (really great year for Nintendo, not enough to get them back to full health just yet but a damn fine way to start)

Best Performance

  • Adam Harrington as Bigby Wolf, The Wolf Among Us – Telltale Games (again quietly hoping for Trey Parker to win though i doubt it)

Most Anticipated Game 

  • The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – CD Projekt (Personally its Bloodborne but the internet doesn't seem to want to shut up about The Witcher 3)

Some match my personal opinion more than others but that's who i feel has the best chances.

Unfortunately, the only game on this list that I have played is Tomb Raider Definitive Edition. Also, when did they start doing awards for esports?

 The eSports awards are new this year. I don't care for them personally. They used to do 'Best character of the year' but it's not here this year. :(

Thankfully IGN aren't the ones to hand out these awards, otherwise they'd be even more of a joke than they made themselves to be last year. Reason i went with Pokemon on this is because it's the remaster with the overall biggest upgrades made to the original game, it's more of a remake instead of a remaster really.
