The Game Awards 2019 Nominations: Here's a List of All Nominated Games

The Game Awards 2019 Nominations were just announced for every category including Game of the Year. Here's a list of all the announced games so far.

[Obscure_Observer]

So no Gears 5?

No comments.

[AngelicIceDiamond]

Its under best action game.

[Sophisticated_Chap]

And 'Best Audio Design'.

[umair_s51]

Should be up for Game of the year as well

[sushimama]

@ umair_s51 are you trying to be funny? Because I just spat my cereal all over my screen because of explosive laughter after reading your hilarious comment. Thanks man

[roadkillers]

Don't eat cereal infront of your computer. I spilt milk all over my shitty mac by doing that.

[Spurg]

It should have been nominated throughout. GOTY, best narrative, and the fact that it's not even nominated for best art direction is an insult.

Control is an overrated mess...its narrative was borderline nonsense and incoherent. Piecing together the narrative was a chore considering you have to read 100 documents that are all visually jarring to read.

I'm glad they at least found time to nominate Disco Elysium but no nods for GOTY.

[RpgSama]

Best art direction? Gears 5? Just because it looks pretty doesn't mean the art direction is nominee worthy.

[Krangs_Uncle]

Why would it win GOTY? Most reviewers thought it was v good but not a 10/10. 5 out the top 10 scores on Metacritic are from MS sites bloating the score.

A 1/3 of their 10/10 scores are MS sites.. Laughable really.

[bluefox755]

It was nothing special, everyone knows it.

[Spurg]

"Best art direction? Gears 5? Just because it looks pretty doesn't mean the art direction is nominee worthy."
The art direction in Gears 5 is stellar and diverse. The third act itself is worthy of the award, the red sands of Vasgar and the military/industrial design from the people that live there are echoed through the armaments as well. The enemy and character design are great with the warden being truly threating sight to behold.

"Why would it win GOTY? Most reviewers thought it was v good but not a 10/10. 5 out the top 10 scores on Metacritic are from MS sites bloating the score."

Laughable really....same can be said for Death stranding. Funny you also said that reviewers thought it was very good....so yeah it gets nominated because it is very good.

[RpgSama]

@ Spurt

"The third act itself is worthy of the award"

The game looks AMAZING, but that does NOT equal to best art direction.

[Krangs_Uncle]

"Laughable really....same can be said for Death stranding. Funny you also said that reviewers thought it was very good....so yeah it gets nominated because it is very good."

The same CANNOT be said for Death Stranding actually. DS has 17 perfect scores with only 2 being from PS sites.. While Gears 5 has 6 perfect scores with 2 being from MS sites.

There were a lot of very good games this year, they aren't all nominated for GOTY. DS has the most perfect scores this year, so is a much more likely candidate.

[Traecy]

LOL!!

[Bruh]

@Krangs

Its got the same Open Critic as Gears 5. They're both titles that are good for the year, but really if it compares to other games that won it in the past like Red Dead or God of War or Uncharted. It doesn't fall too close

[Profchaos]

Gears 5 was a good game but it doesn't make it goty it's a great revitalising title for the franchise but the first act and third act were a slog and the second act and final moments were what everyone raves about so 20% of the game really doesn't make it goty worthy.

Still I enjoyed it but I'm not going to say it stayed with me long after the credits rolled

[umair_s51]

Don't try argue about gears on a PlayStation site

[oasdada]

best narrative? are you serious? the game was good but if u think gears 5 narrative was GOTY worthy then goes to show how much u have been void of good experiences

[oasdada]

and dont get me started on the enemy design.. i guess there were only 2 or 3 new enemy designs other than that it was a carbon copy of gears 4!

[mandingo]

Damn you mention a sony game for GOTY nobody bats an eye... You mention an xbox game everybody loses their mind!

[Unspoken]

Control had one of the best stories and world with very good gameplay. Nomination is the least they could do.

[CaptainHenry916]

The game of the year should go to Resident Evil 2, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, or Death Stranding imo! The Outer Worlds felt like an old school RPG with no innovation at all. You can't even throw grenades in the game🤔

[UltraNova]

Re2 was a remake, not a new game and I say this knowing full well how good a game it is.

Sekiro..as much as I love From games (my favorites, actually) it wont win.

Haven't played OW yet but I believe that it deserves a nomination.

[Gemmol]

People like you and others who lost same list should never give an opinion on game of the year all those games you list you probably got it on one system, a fair game of the year list should come from someone who play on all systems

Despite that smash beat out all the games you list in content and love and care from developer and etc and you can count game sales to show it was well received by everyone even the people who own all systems or people who own Xbox and switch or ps4 and switch or pc and switch it’s love by all fans

[CaptainHenry916]

If Gears 5 came out 10 years ago it probably would have been nominated for GOTY

[MasterCornholio]

The Outer World's is in there several times. So it's not like there's a conspiracy against Microsoft or anything.

Oh and Gears 5 has several nominations.

[TGGJustin]

I mean it wasn't that good. The campaign started off well but fell apart after that. The way they are handling how to earn post launch content is pathetic too. They want you to grind hours and hours on modes you might not even want to play just to unlock a single character.

[lellkay]

@umair_s51
It really shouldn't be.

The rest of the Categories I honestly don't care

[CaptainHenry916]

I agree with Mads Mikkelson/Death Stranding should win best performance

[cooperdnizzle]

Mads is always a bad ass. So cool to have a true actor bring his skills to a video game. Willam Defoe also did an amazing job a few years back.
