The nominations for the 2018 Game Awards are known, vote now

The 2018 Game Awards will take place on December 6th and you can choose your winners.

the "The rewards of 2018"(TGA18), the largest and most important awards competition in the video game industry, is still in December and, if we look at the calendar, it is high time to receive the list of games nominated for the # 39; year.

And that's why organizer and presenter Geoff Keighley has announced the selection for this year. The show will be the night of 06. to 07 December German time at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles take place, despite the venue this year, especially Sony in mind.

Sony applauds, the PC stumbles

All games in the Game of the Year category are multiplatform or exclusive on PS4. The two most nominated games (8 each) are God of War, an exclusive title on PS4, and Red Dead Redemption 2, for which Sony has an exclusive deal with Take 2.

And even if many multiplatform titles published on PC have been nominated: for games exclusive to PC, the results are mediocre. Only the indie chapter and the strategy pane each hold Return of the Obra Dinn and Battletech. The location in Germany is even worse, not a single local developer has been named.

Part of the jury: GameStar, GamePro and you!

Nominations are the responsibility of an international jury of 68 magazines and media, including GameStar and GamePro. However, when choosing the final winner, you are also asked: This year, you can vote not only for some of the categories, but for all categories and thus directly influence the results.

For the final result, the votes of the selected jury are 90%, the votes of the fans are calculated with 10% of weight. We wish you a lot of fun with the selection and good luck to all the nominees.
