Geoff Keighley's The Game Awards 2015 dated for December 3rd. - NeoGAF

The show — called, simply, the Game Awards — is now the closest thing the games business has to its own Oscars. The second Game Awards show will take place Dec. 3 at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, where Mr. Keighley is expecting about 4,000 attendees, compared with 3,500 last year. He projects that the Internet audience will be more than the two million who watched in 2014. While game companies were the only advertisers last year, he has nabbed Verizon as one of the sponsors this year.

Hope it's shorter than last years...Oh and I hope they have the winners on stage...I swear last year they announced winners before the show even began...Like wtf why call it the "game awards" show if you barely focus on the awards?

Do you guys think MS will show some more gears? Maybe a trailer or teaser?

Or some scalebound?

ReCore maybe. If it's not there, then we should just assumed that the game's delayed.

Yeah I feel like Microsoft might want to have a large presence this year. Definitely will see recore.

Ohh yeah we might see reCore. Though i doubt that game is AAA. So i think they would wanna show an AAA game there as well.

 Might have made a spelling error or two I haven't proofed it.
 

The most anticipated game nominees are pretty interesting imo.

Oh and Camilla Luddington as a nominee for a best performance is a complete joke imo, I think she's a horrible Lara

[Riderz1337]

God daym Sony killing it in 2016.

Oh and the dude from Witcher is nominated for best performance? That must be the most monotone performance of a character I've ever heard...So boring. What a joke.

Yeah I'm not sure about the best performance nominations, even though the game wasn't great The Order still had some great performances for instance (definitely better than Lara Crofts freaking voice actress). I don't know about Her Story but from the nominated I'd certainly pick the voice actress for Chloe from Life is Strange, recently watched that game on Youtube and it had a great story and performances throughout.

Btw. has anyone here played Axiom Verge? Is it good? It's only 12,60€ on PSN at the moment.

[Aura7541]

Nice to see Bloodborne and Until Dawn in those lists. Also a surprise Guilty Gear -SIGN- appearance :O

[Legend]

Nah she was great in the first reboot.


Crazy that three of the five nominated most anticipated are PS4 exclusive, and all three are the highest voted.

What's the difference between game of the year and developer of the year?
