Titanfall dominates Game Critics Best of E3 2013 nominations

[Dohc-WP]

Respawn's Titanfall picked up the most nominations ever in this year's Game Critics Best of E3 awards, notching up six compared to the previous record of five. The multiplayer mech-stuffed shooter is up for Best of Show, and is one of 16 nominations for publisher EA.

Endeavoring to stand tall against Titanfall in the Best of Show category are two other games in Watch Dogs and Destiny, which both received five nominations each. Also up for Best of Show are two pieces of hardware: the Oculus Rift and the PS4.

The PS4's nomination is the icing on the cake for Sony's showing, with the platform holder earning a total of ten first-party nods compared to three for Microsoft and Nintendo each. The Xbox One is up for Best Hardware against the PS4, however. Also, the Xbox One leads the PS4 in terms of nominees per platform, up 34 to 33.

As for who actually won what, the winners will be unveiled next week on July 2. In the meantime, you can check out the full list of nominations here.

Unsurprisingly.

Game looks bloody amazing!

Yes it looks amazing but it's just another shooter at the end of the day. No innovation yet it gets the most nominations, bleh.

whats amazing is that engine its running on is a slightly modified version of the source engine which turns 10 next year

I'd actually agree with someone I know who said 'It's not your typical Modern Shooter".
That's why I like it so much.

Well, the modification has done its job, I'd say.

@OP, you didn't copy the link of the nomination

The game does look great, but it seems like all these modern shooters follow Michael Bay's idea.
Bigger guns, bigger vehicles, bigger explosions! Lack all depth!
I must be getting old.

I was so hoping when Respawn would drop their first game everyone would be like whaaaaaaaaaaaaat.
Now just to see when it actually releases if it holds up to the hype then Activision can think to themselves... "oh damn"

My money's on Watchdogs to win the award. That is for sure the best game I've seen in quite some time.
It has more depth to it than Titanfall. Though Titanfall does also seem like loads of fun it just doesn't quite measure up to the promise that Watchdogs could possibly be the game of the year.
