Top Contenders for GOTY 2013 Award, Including GTA V

2013 has started on a pretty slow note for gaming industry, apart from revealed of new brand IP from CD Projekt RED's Cyberpunk 2077 nothing astonishing has happened so far. However with each passing day things will change dramatically, and 2013 will be a moster year for video game industry as the release of some most anticipated games (GTA V, The Last of Us, Bioshock Infinite and more) are just around the corner.

Why not make a list for GOTY 2014 Contenders ?

Why not make a list for GOTY 2015 Contenders ?

Honestly it's quite stupid to make a GOTY 2013 contenders with so many games to be announced and released.

calis4512d ago

Yeah, basically it's just Hype contenders of the year 2013.

WeskerChildReborned4512d ago

We have no idea what games are coming out in 2014 or 2015, we've already got a announced list for games in 2013 and their are already a few you can say look "GOTY worthy" and that would be Last of Us and GTA V, don't know if Watch Dogs or MGS GZ are coming out in 2013 though.

Hydralysk4512d ago

Regardless of whether or not we know their release date, it's pointless to nominate 'Contendors' for 2013 GOTY when absolutely none of these games has even been released yet.

Thatguy-3104512d ago (Edited 4512d ago )

I agree though the top 3 on the list are for sure nominees. Doubt anything bigger will come out towards the end of the yr. I honestly don't see anyone announcing something amazing that no one has heard of and release it in Q3 or Q4. Things need time to build hype.

otherZinc4511d ago

Good idea, my list:

1.GTA5
2.Gears of War Judgement
3.Destiny
4.Bioshock Infinite
5.God of War:Next

Please, we all know it will be Call of Duty: The Next Version.

Sigh.

If somehow all that is good in the world prevails and CoD isn't GOTY, i'd expect GTAV to win.

calis4512d ago

I would not be surprised if GTAV hasn't already won it in the minds of many.

Persistantthug4512d ago

A Call Of Duty game hasn't won an AIAS Game Of The Year since CALL OF DUTY 4 (2007).

It does tend to win the "ACTION" catagory quite a bit though.....but almost never overall GOTY.

Hicken4512d ago

As Persistantthug above notes, it's been quite some time since Call of Duty has won GOTY.

Does that mean all that's good in the world has already prevailed?

Thatguy-3104512d ago

COD hardly wins any GOTY awards. I have no idea why you even bring it up. I swear people just like hating on the poor thing.

showtimefolks4512d ago

We don't even know what fall 2013 holds so lets wat and see

But I do believe 2013 GOTy will come from one of the earlier games

GTA5
Bioshock
last of us

Tomb raider could be on the list but now have heard mixed things, one thing though tomb raider went gold in November so from November till it comes out its more time for bugs/glitches fixing and more time for polish so hopefully it will be a quality games)

What if uncharted 4 launches with ps4 or alan wake 2 with next Xbox so there are a lot of unknowns for us to even say this game will be GOTY

EddieNX 4512d ago

Pokemon X and Y , Pikmin 3 will be contenders.

NoTheMama4511d ago

who would disagree with those fine choices?!
oh yeah, its N4G.....

EddieNX 4511d ago

The number of 10 year old Xbots and Sony drones on this site is frightening.

Milk...get your milk...and so much more. Really when you release the same games in three editions over 15 years it's amazing how much money, and the amount of sales you earn. It's amazing how no one can compete.

Mr_cheese5d ago

To be fair, no many companies could release the same game over and over. They've earned that whether we agree or not

DarXyde5d ago

I mean Resident Evil 4 has had longer legs and still hasn't done anything like this.

Profchaos5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

GTA v isn't the only game that's released three consoles generations running but nothing has sold those numbers including GTA San Andreas which is now 4 console generations deep.

anast5d ago

Looks like a 2040 release for GTA6

gold_drake5d ago

thats insane right?
absolutely insane

rlow14d ago

No surprising considering that it’s been on every major platform and store.

I decided to look up the longest and most sold games list. To my surprise Tetris has takes the top spot.

I mean, considering the amount of time between the two. It better be a massive upgrade. Especially with the amount of money Rockstar raked in from GTA Online.

MDTunkown12d ago

Most of scenes are pre rendered

andy8512d ago

Literally none are. If you know anything about rockstar they don't do that. Confirmed by themselves that this is all in-game

MDTunkown12d ago

Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?
Rockstar told 50% are cutscenes and rockstars always used better models during cutscenes than in game.
You legit seems to know rockstar very well.

andy8512d ago (Edited 12d ago )

It didn't though? And neither did RDR2. In fact it was actually the opposite. What's with the hate boner? If you don't like it just avoid the topic

InUrFoxHole11d ago

Why don't either of you provide proof. This is just a he said, she said argument at this point

generic-user-name12d ago

You're either lying or just don't know what pre rendered means. Pre rendered means that if you change the character's appearance (clothes, accessories etc) they wouldn't show up in the cutscenes because they were already made and aren't being rendered in real time. This is something that doesn't happen in Rockstar games.

"Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?"

In fact some of the scenes in RDR2 looked better in the retail version than at launched.

anast12d ago

The OP is taking the shot-gun approach: say a bunch of random tripe and see if something sticks.

repsahj12d ago

Damn! GTAV graphics are still awesome! But, I am so excited to play GTA6!!!
