I actually recently heard an interview with Feargus Urquhart from Obsidian on the game informer podcast and from a technical perspective he seemed pretty positive about Bethesda toolset and also had the opinion that one of the reasons they keep it going is because not only is it great for them since they know it so well but also because they want to keep modding open to as many of their fans as possible.

I heard no such thing. I heard a developer being diplomatic and evenhanded to all the engines they have to work with. He isn't in a position to embarrass other developers on their technology.

All of those Splatoon mentions/nominations, holy shiiit.

Considering how GDC usually votes, it won't win anything.

MGS V all the way! Best developed game mechanics of 2015. Developers, show love.

WAT ? Game mechanics !. Whats that. Its 2015, nobody care about game mechanics

They're still eligible for other categories, like Her Story appears in several other categories, but the award exists to highlight portable gaming that might not otherwise get recognized without going down to the platform level.

Independent game award categories were really common before they started getting game of the year nominations.

Ah, I see. Thanks for that.

Not even an honourable mention for Broken Age in Best Visual Art? That's a bit odd.

I assume half of those asked to vote were Bethesda employees.

RIP Guilty Gear for best visual art.

lost in the void of last December / last year's nominations and never remembered again.

Woo, a few nominations for Ori! I hope we win at least one

 

[KKRT00]

Nominations in other categories are debatable, but this?

Best Technology:

Splatoon (Nintendo EAD Group No. 2 / Nintendo),
Super Mario Maker (Nintendo EAD Group No. 4 / Nintendo),

WHAT?! How can objectively justify putting those game in Best Technology category?

Looks pretty good except for having a mobile/handled category. I'm not a fan of platform specific awards at all.

Fallout 4 (PS4)

The Witcher 3 (PS4)

Assassins Creed Syndicate (Xbox One)

Until Dawn (PS4)

And then of course there is the Order.

Best Technology seems like a hard award to give.
