Wondering about that too. At least it should have been nominated in the action category.
No way they'd announce Fallout 4 beforehand. It'd most likely be the megaton reveal of the show.
Haha. I was thinking that the list was pretty solid until I got to the Action Adventure category and saw Assassin's Creed Unity.
Couldn't get Yves on the board without nominating Ubi Montreal I guess.
Seriously, Ubisoft needs to give that guy his gold-plated pension and find a CEO with more of an eye for QA and who is willing to not force Uplay as a launcher. And one who has a better grip on PR and managing teams.
Yeah, no Wolfenstein makes me sad. I will keep small hope alive that it wins Best Shooter!
Can't agree. Game doesn't have many merits other than looking great- being serviceable should make it a GOTY nominee.
it does sound cheap. flimsy.
but what else is there? interactive Design & Arts award? The IDA's?
Seems sad that the categories they believe are worth looking at is reduced to shooters, RPGs, online experiences (mainly shooters and RPGs), fighting games, sports/racing, action games and indie stuff. So many other genres are still being worked in, just not by the AAA industry any more.
Why can't indie, handheld and mobile games just compete under their own merits, like Bravely Default and Smash? Wouldn't it be easier to just list Transistor under RPG and actually have a platform game category for Shovel Knight or Tropical Freeze etc. Otherwise it seems like the mobile, indie and handheld games are mainly bracketed off as not being able to compete with the AAA titles, which is obviously false when they've also shortlisted several for the genre categories. It would be like just having a single 'best console game' award but genre shortlists for mobile games, but I suppose those developers can't afford to spend thousands on table sales.
It just seems like big games getting a nod for being a big game.

Ubisoft Montreal being nominated as best developer is just as funny as Telltale winning Developer of 2012 at the vga's
