Fucking REAL.
Like every other year until it or the next thing
Hopium administered
I really want a release date for Clockwork Revolution and Judas.
I just want to see some more exceptionalism from Flute Guy.
Oh hell yeah, we get to see him go ham on some Clair Obscur music.
The real reason to watch
My wife and I was laughing at that a while back. He’s great.
Always a highlight of the show. I hope he never cuts his hair.
Crowbcat compilation. Tbh I didn’t know they were still doing that Game Awards
Half life 3
Absolutely nothing.
Half Life 3
I’ve been expecting it the last couple of games showcases where there were rumors too. I will say the new hardware launch makes the rumors more compelling, but I will literally not believe it until I see it. I’m fully expecting the event to end on a dumb note and to say “that’s it!?” like the last couple of times I got my hopes up
Half-Life Alyx 2
Wouldn’t be way out of left field with the new headset they already announced
Right after bloodborne 2
Its gonna happen bro
We know HL3 is happening, and if you trust Jeff Grubb (you probably should), we know nothing is happening with Bloodborne right now.
For me lies of p is peak of the genre and I want another game from that studio. I’ve never actually managed to finish another souls/soulslike.
I want to believe…
I’m not really excited about anything because I don’t care much for AAA but it‘s funny to me that a show like the Game Awards was never about the awards but just an excuse to show some world premier trailers.
On the other hand, winning an award from this show has a tangible effect on game sales, so it’s nice when a game like Baldur’s Gate 3 can beat the mainstays like The Legend of Zelda and earn that bump for themselves.
It‘s definitely clever to wrap the Award show into a Superbowl type of event for the gaming industry. It ensures there will be a lot of eyes on award winners. But they still have to share the attention with the new shiny things that are being advertised so it‘s always a little awkward. It‘s bizarre but part of the experience and let‘s be honest, most of don‘t care about popularity contests. We tune in for the trailers.
The awards are done by the big studios anyway, Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, EA, Ubisoft etc, thats the jury, it always has a bias. Anything else only wins something if its so popular that it has to. It's just a AAA circle jerk mostly.
But its not about the awards anyway, its about advertising.
It's just a big advertising show yeah. Like E3 but with all the soul and community sucked out of it. I dont know why anyone cares.
None of it.
The same thing I’ve been waiting for since 2003. A new F-Zero
1999, and a new Vib Ribbon for me.
You and me both, buddy…
Is this the one where devolver digital does something goofy? That’s usually pretty fun
They might have, but I mostly remember their E3 shows.
Personally I’m hoping for
Sqenix can’t make good games anymore, I am sorry.
I suspect Larian will take their sweet time.
Bioshock sounds like it’s in development hell; I’d be suspicious of that.
Nah, Larian will jump the gun, release too early and have another bug infested game. They need to reduce their scope, actually take their time and make a great RPG. BG3 was too much for them, a smaller more refined experience would have been amazing, they shouldn't chase "bigger is better".
Larian’s next game is the teased statue that Keighley tweeted, so they’ll have something to announce tonight. The only thing they said it isn’t is Divinity: Original Sin 3, but it could be a different Divinity RPG, or a looter like the old-school Divinities, or a new Dragon Commander, or a new spin-off entirely. They’re also a multi-project studio now.
Same for FF but also no tactical shite either, turn based is fine but the damn chessboard shit was enough during the 3DS era, so many great stories ruined by the gameplay.
Looking for to be sleeping, I really don’t give a shit about that.
I’m looking forward to the podcasts that’ll make fun of it.
Larian
Fromsoft
Nintendo
Those are probably the only developers in the AAA world that are not selling money printing skinner boxes.
Indie devs don’t have money to advertise on that shitty show.
I guess that depends on where your cutoff is for AAA, but if you’re including FromSoft, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II just came out this year at a similar level of budget and production value. And I know people have their issues with Unreal, but it really has raised the bar for what a “AA” might be capable of. The likes of Avowed, The Outer Worlds 2, The Alters, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 this year (and games like The Thaumaturge last year) are all what we would have expected out of a AAA game in the not-too-distant past, most of which comes down to scope, where a lot of AAAs are arguably doing too much.
I haven’t played any of those yet but isn’t the subject what we’re looking forward to seeing at the Game Awards?
I’m gonna have to toss a going between Expedition 33 and KCD2. They both seem like my type of game
Silksong Nothing, life is meaningless
now you can wait for the silksong dlc though
Yep, 6-8 years to go!
I’ve never cared for it - the entire show’s awards and announcements could be YouTube Shorts that I can pick and choose to watch, and I’d get exactly the same thing out of it.
I wait a day and then check for a megathread with bullet points, then see if there is anything of interest to me.
Half Life 3 it's gonna be there I can feel it in my bones I'm not crazy
it’s coming any day now…
I heard it’s likely we’re gonna see some KOTOR on there.
O love to see something on the Lies of P Sequel o (^^o)
What do I want? Xcom 3. Obviously that won’t happen ever though
yup, firaxis went all-in on the licensed slop sadly. don’t think we’re getting that teased sequel to from the deep anytime soon
Starseeker, light no fire, the host being gored by a bull
I think award shows are head-ass narcissist nonsense.
So, none of it.
The coronation of Expedition 33 mostly _
I wanna see what a $1m 3 minute trailer looks like!
E33 should fuck
Give me some WOODKID performing songs from Death Stranding 2.
I need a good cry.
Steam box price and release date, more Slay the Spire 2 info, next Zelda teaser. All very unlikely.
