Dylan Moss and guests kick off SideQuest with playful banter and anticipation for the Game Awards predictions.

This episode of GeekVerse Sidequest features host Dylan Moss and guests Travis and Taylor Field predicting winners for the upcoming Game Awards. The hosts are excited for the annual event, though Travis notes his viewing depends on his twins' sleep schedule. They plan to discuss potential winners across major categories. The conversation centers on predictions for Game of the Year and other key awards for 2025. Specific games mentioned as frontrunners include "Expedition," "Starfield Shattered Space," and "Metroid Prime 4." The hosts analyze each title's strengths and likely competition in different categories. They reference the previous year's winners to contextualize their predictions for this cycle. Travis argues that "Expedition" has a significant advantage due to its critical acclaim and player reception metrics. Taylor Field suggests that a major expansion like "Starfield Shattered Space" could be a dark horse contender if it substantially overhauls the base game. One surprising claim is that a well-received remake could potentially upset in a major category, defying conventional wisdom. The hosts debate whether a game's commercial success or its artistic achievements should weigh more heavily in awards voting. A memorable moment involves a detailed comparison of narrative depth between the leading contenders. They also speculate on which announcements or world premieres might overshadow the awards themselves during the show. The tone is casual and enthusiastic, filled with inside jokes and personal anecdotes about gaming. The style is a conversational roundtable among friends who are deeply knowledgeable about the industry. Fans of video game industry awards shows and speculative discussions will love this episode. Listeners seeking hard news or critical analysis of game design might prefer to skip it.
