Graphics stolen shamelessly from the NeoGAF thread

System Wars will blow up if Super Mario Maker wins this and GameSpot's GOTY.

Im hoping they announce Linkle as playable character for Zelda Wii U. Then announce NX at e3 to steal the show, dont want to announce too much at e3.

Mass Effect: Andromeda premiere... my body is ready

NX showing would be huge. They took it off Spike TV thank god

Man I'm so glad there's still a Video Game Awards show. I remember some people made fun how bad it was when it was on SpikeTV back in the day but the point wasn't really how the show was, the point is that's there's an award show for video games. There's probably still hate for this award show now but that's just because haters just going to hate. Lol.

Splatoon won Best Multiplayer. Extremely well deserved :D

Splatoon just won best multiplayer. I'm really happy about that. Such an awesome game, and I'm glad it's getting recognition for it.

The Witcher 3 on sale on x1 and ps4 for half off during the show. Damn I get paid tomorrow and fallout 4 won't let me go

Congrats to Splatoon, much deserved.

Why are they missing strategy games and mmos? Why no sim category?

Is this mostly a console award show?

Just hoping for some Zelda footage.

seems to be, never seen this before been ok so far

Is this worth watching? I forgot it was even on.

Okay, that new Batman game? I need it.

I want to watch this but way too cringe worthy. i tune in into the show and i see deadmau5 trying to sell Battlefront... Can't watch something like that.

HOLY SHIT, Batman by Telltale

HYPE

Dafuq is Her Story, and how did it beat Life is Strange, Tales from the Borderlands, and Witcher 3 for narrative?

Funny to see Battlefront on the list, was it nominated just because it wasnt any other game to put there, was it really that few shooters 2015?

Her Story just won best narrative, thought Life Is Strange would have took that

Far Cry Primal? More like Far Cry Pokemon.

It has the most unique way of telling a story, and unlike 2 of them, actually uses the gameplay as part of it. And it isn't fantasy wank. Her Story is actually a pretty rad pick. It also could only work for what that game is lol.

Congrats to Her Story, awesome choice.

Did Ubi soft have to call it a Far Cry game, it could have been a new franchise instead, @Ant_17: your right its like a pokemon, a brutal pokemon though. Looks like it could be good.

Phsychonauts 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Psychonauts 2?

Sure, why not.

awkward

Time for food break.

Telltale Batman game? I'm interested.

I'm enjoying the awards so far.

Her Story again please.

Rocket League deserves that win so much

LOL Rocket League beat Flopza for best racing game.

Rocket League won best indie and best sports racing game.

Not shocked at all, but what else was in the sports racing game category?

@Ant_17: Forza 6 should have won, Rocket League is lacking in content and uses microtranactions. Deadly combo. Its a cheap game but still, shouldnt be about pricing.

Is this the spike TV thing?

The Iwata memorial was tastefully done.

Great Iwata tribute, imo.

Out of those two - Rocket is more original.

Racing sims are dime a dozen now and they have moved to PC, which is sad, untill i get GT.

Witcher 3 needs to get GOTY and soundtrack the game is just ARGH!!! The wait and knowing that the Awards are very BS at times

@Ant_17: Yeah, but would you actually call it a racing game? Its kinda weird. It is original though, some very cool stuff.

I wish I still cared about this stuff :/

Tell me about.

People are calling it a better soccer game then a racing game.

The category was racing and sports games

Anyone notice that Conan just completely omitted Konami from MGS5 and just said 'Kojima Productions'?

Am I going crazy?

Come on Mario Maker! Bring it home Nintendo. Dang it, there goes your GOTY pick.

Guys, can we talk about the Kombat Pack 2 and how retarded it is. Who the **** really wanted Leatherface? lol. NRS....why....I mean, why? So much potential only to throw it in the garbage.

CD Project Red, so well deserved

CD Projekt RED won! :)

No, the award was for best developer.

It wasn't just a racing game category. IT was best sports/racing game. So those awards were put together, Rocket League was easily the best sports games this year.
