My money is on BOTW

[uptownsoul]

Yeah both BOTW & HZD top all games with 6 nominations...Both games are great...Both Nintendo & Sony should be proud. I also like how Nier:Automata & Hellblade both got 3 nominations too.

[gangsta_red]

Definitely, but with the way BOTW has been killing it with these awards I'm going with the safer bet of the two.

BOTW has Curry, Greene, Durant and Clay behind it, all healthy, shooting 80 percent from outside the three point line.

I have yet to try Hellblade, I actually haven't even seen gameplay from it. Will have to add that to my growing que of games on Gamefly.

@gangsta_red

I think BOTW has the edge too...But for me, HZD was more impressive since it was GG's first try at anything outside of a 1st person shooter. Using your NBA reference, HZD getting this many GOTY nominations is like 5 starting rookies on a team getting all the way to the NBA finals.

Gee Whiz...can't imagine who's going to win

Both please

If Horizon doesn’t win best technology I’m gonna say rigged

[Gemmol]

No, cause each game have a case for best technology........for a home console horizon is a lock

For a handheld to play Zelda and look the way it look is also a technology amazement

People are not used to see graphics with all this detail in a handheld......and same with horizon when a system is plugged into the tv

In the end it comes down to what's more amazing to someone, being able to play a full adventure like that on the go.......or a 4k tv with ps4 pro

[deafdani]

Depends on why. I suppose they nominated Horizon for best technology mainly because of the combat mechanics and the AI behavior of the robodinos, which are both really impressive. But on the other hand, Zelda's physics system is also amazing, so I believe any of the two could win the award and I would be fine either way.

PUBG isn't a finished game. It should not be a nominee for anything, unless they invent a new category like "Most Promising Game in Development".

Lol i agree
