TotK is superb, but it damn well should be since it reused the BotW engine and had five years to bake.

Starfield is using the same Creation Engine as FO4 and FO76 with a few modifications and it's been in the oven for, what, 7 or 8 years now?

The bold points are irrelevant.

But since Starfield isn't a Sony or Nintendo first party darling

The Microsoft persecution complex is getting really, really, really fucking old.

 

[NickFire]

I'd say it looks most likely to defeat either Diablo 4, Hogwarts or Zelda. Right now if year ended today I'd vote Diablo, but expect Hogwarts to win if general audience votes matter. Either Spidey or Starfield could prevail in end if they nail the landings and live Up to hype. If both live up to hype, I'd assume Starfield wins as it will be more Unique.

 

[Thabass]

If the game comes out largely bug free, it will be a contender for sure. TOTK is nearly flawless.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

I would like to see that just so I can see certain folks heads absolutely explode, Kingsman: The Secret Service style.

But those certain folks are also why it's unlikely to happen, unfortunately.

I'm sure they won't even let it be nominated. The Game Awards will be too fearful and kowtow immediately to the controversy and it won't even be available for people to vote for.

 

[20cent]

GOTY...as personal GOTY?

Otherwise it doesn't matter as I haven't played almost any of the "official" GOTY of the last 10 years.

 

[TheUndeadGamer]

The game is on PC too.

Lol. Oof . I forgot for a second.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Contender.

 

[Sensates]

My intuition is that the game will be crippled by the Creation engine. I hope Im wrong.

 

[Laieon]

It definitely won't be mine, but I'm sure it's a contender for the GOTY awards the masses care about.

Despite me having no interest in it and being a huge Zelda fan, I'd prefer to see it get it as a new franchise than Zelda take the title for reusing the map as much as it did.

With the year 1/2 way over, my personal GOTY is looking to be either Hogwarts Legacy or Diablo IV. Spiderman might have a chance to overtake those later in the year though.

 

[AGRacing]

It's finally an exclusive game that feels worthy of the console generation... or rather worth having this console generation in the first place.

Incorrect on both counts, especially the latter. But hey, whatever you need to tell yourself to sleep at night…

…and What's really, REALLY getting old are the Sony fanbois here that go out of their way to slag on any positive Microsoft news/event.

 

[Balducci30]

Who cares - we get two GOTY's - and possibly a 3rd if spider man kills it - plus we have re4remake, Jedi survivor, Diablo 4, ff16 — I dunno it's just a good year for games.

 

[Robb]

My bet is TotK. I'd be happy to see StarField snag it though, MS could use a win.

 

[Não Faço Fiado]

in a week after the release we will know it.
If it not a bug mess with youtubers making 1 hours compilations of broke stuff it might be..

 

[In Cold Blood]

I think some GOTY awards will say Starfield while others will say Zelda.
There is no one GOTY award.

 

[T_T]

No it will be Zelda

 

[GigaBowser]

If the game comes out largely bug free, it will be a contender for sure. TOTK is nearly flawless.

It wonts thats imporsible for Bethesda this is why TOTK will gets most the GOTYs the gameplay buuuuuuuttt

this could be my favorites 2 games ever back to back this showings has amazed me

Xbox is baaaaack

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

I want Starfield to be good, but the more I think about it the more skeptical and reserved I become. A lot of planets, procedural generation.. there's a decent chance many are a waste of time with what amounts to cut and paste locations or POIs. Bigger isn't always better. I'm a big fan of Daggerfall so depending on how it's done I'd be willing to overlook certain things, but it's also been over 25 years since Daggerfall.

All in all, I'd much, much rather have been getting Elder Scrolls VI. But I'm interested to see what happens.

 

[Tomeru]

Lmao people thinking zelda lego will beat starfield. Some of you are detached from reality too much.

 

[GigaBowser]

Lmao people thinking zelda lego will beat starfield. Some of you are detached from reality too much.

What in tarnation? Zelda wons in 2017 and TOTK is waaaaaaaayyyyy better than BOTW

 

[daveonezero]

I honestly didn't see anything great in that trailer….and skimmed the in depth look and still don't see much.

Like what is this game doing other than bigger better badder?

Out of everything I think I want to play Avowed over everything else.

 

[Nico_D]

Who cares? I just hope I'll have fun playing.

 

[BootsLoader]

I don't understand what is so mind blowing about starfield. It's like a Skyrim in space. I don't own a switch with TOTK, but Zelda is looking far more impressive to me.

 

[Varteras]

Lmao people thinking zelda lego will beat starfield. Some of you are detached from reality too much.

You'd have to be incredibly ignorant, willfully so or otherwise, to not understand why so many people see Zelda as the front runner for GOTY.

 

[buenoblue]

The gameplay in starfield just doesn't hold up to TOTK so far from what I've seen. Your either mining or shooting. That's it. And lots of talking to dead eyed characters lol. Oh and it's Bethesda shooting too so yeah

 

[killatopak]

Will it win goty awards? Yes. Possibly even most of them.

Personally I'm very hyped for it but there are plenty of games this year that can be called goty by anyone.

I am also hyped for Armored Core and FFXVI.

 

[T0minator]

I think some GOTY awards will say Starfield while others will say Zelda.
There is no one GOTY award.

Probably referring to The Game Awards in Dec GOTY.

The faces throwing me off, the lifeless eyes and overall faces are kind of distracting considering how many conversations will be in the game. Aside from that everything else looked great

 

[X-Wing]

I still think that TOTK has a better chance. Starfield promises a lot, whether they can deliver remains yet to be seen.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

That's it. And lots of talking to dead eyed characters lol

Biggest disappointment is stuff like this for sure, really makes the world seem superficial

[Paasei]

It looked cool. Just a matter of time to find out if it is. The resource gathering looked boring at least.

And I still wonder if a planet is a planet in size, and not just a planet with maybe 3 hubs on if. Might be too much to ask, which I understand, but I can't help but wonder.

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

It's finally an exclusive game that feels worthy of the console generation... or rather worth having this console generation in the first place.

Not at 30fps it's not. Let's just calm down a bit huh.

 

[mxbison]

Starfield looks like it has the potential but it will be really hard to get that thing properly balanced, polished, and filled with good content.

TotK is the safer bet.

 

[Chukhopops]

I think TotK will get GOTY, despite being a huge disappointment in my (admittedly minority) opinion.

So far I'd give the title to Diablo but there's still 6 months to go.

The gameplay in starfield just doesn't hold up to TOTK so far from what I've seen. Your either mining or shooting. That's it. And lots of talking to dead eyed characters lol. Oh and it's Bethesda shooting too so yeah

That's deeply ironic considering the animation of NPCs in TotK. Aside from basic movement the game doesn't even bother and just fades to black when it needs to change the state or position of a NPC.

 

[X-Wing]

Exactly. That will be the difference maker here. TotK is just more of the same.

It's not though.

 

[Raonak]

Starfield looked boring as fuck.

 

[acm2000]

Obviously not for Sony and Nintendo fans, but for Xbox fans? Sure, pc? Maybe.

Edit: see the post above this, then look at their message history and see why.

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

Regardless of personal feelings. Microsoft has NEVER won GOTY in modern times. With all the turmoil at Xbox, they need a massive win. Starfield is Xbox most important release since Halo 3 or original Kinect. It needs to be huge!!

 

[Gen.Grievous]

Nah Nintendo taking that one.

 

[In Cold Blood]

Probably referring to The Game Awards in Dec GOTY.

We must fight against one guy trying to take control over what game of the year is and isn't.
Geoff has done nothing to deserve that honour.

 

[EruditeHobo]

If you're someone that cares about how the total number of votes/awards shake out in terms of anointing a GOTY, and you expect it to not be Zelda, you're going to be disappointed.

Starfield does look good though! I'm sure it will be in the discussion somewhere.

 

[EruditeHobo]

Nintendo will never make a real Zelda game again if these garbage open world Zeldas keep doing well.

The ship has sailed, my friend.... maybe in 2040 or something.

 

[Zathalus]

I voted yes, not because I think it will win most GotY awards (almost certainly Zelda) but it is shaping up to be my personal GotY.

 

[Banjo64]

Oh I don't know, journalists love them some Nintendo.

Well, it's not like they hate BGS, is it?

So let's not try and make excuses like the media are biased towards Nintendo please.

If Zelda does win the most awards, it'll be because it's one of the best games of all time. Nothing more, nothing less.

 

[sendit]

I despire Nintendo games. I won't ever touch TOTK, but that game already has GOTY in the bag.

 

[Liamario]

It definitely has a market. But a lot of those worlds looked extremely barren. Spectacular, but barren. There's cool gameplay potential, but nothing that I haven't seen before to be honest in other games.
I'm sure the game will do well, but I'll be waiting for opinions after the game releases. Still better than what Sony showed in their last showcase.

 

[cireza]

Starfield is so much more than TOKT, yet it will be the later that will win GOTY most certainly. Who cares anyway.

 

[mrmustard]

What is GOTY? Most awards or Geoff's cringe show?

 

[Fuz]

No.
