Best of luck to Geoff. Hopefully he can do even better this year. Looking forward to it.

3rdamention · Jan 23, 2015

Hopefully Less of Keighly interviewing people off the side of the stage in some seating aisle. I could never figure out what the thinking was of having him interview and talk to people in what looked like an aisle with no room.

DigitalRicket · Jan 23, 2015

I got a chance to speak to him one on one after a panel he did at CES and dude was as nice as could be. He answered some of my questions, which at the time were very VGA related (this was like 2010), and it's crazy to see how far his concept for a true games awards has come.

Really loved this past year's show and after the Imagine Dragons / Kondo collaboration performance, I would love to see more things like that that mix bigger named people who are into gaming along with developers and creators.

SliceSabre · Jan 23, 2015

Sure it was a little rough last year, but it was certainly more respectable and entertaining than I was expecting. I look forward to them.

Xav · Jan 23, 2015

I'm not going to lie. I was really bored during the 2014 Game Awards and the way a bunch of awards were handed off stage was dumb.

This was a beautiful moment.

Until the asshole took off the hat.

SargerusBR · Jan 23, 2015

Geoff please make sure Lindsey Stirling appears again

-Horizon- · Jan 23, 2015

I'm ok with this news.

I thought the 2014 awards were really good. Hope he continues to improve upon it.

wink wink more surprise nintendo news pls Mr Keighley

Kinsei · Jan 23, 2015

Last year had some potential so I hope to see it improve this year.

Kriken · Jan 23, 2015

Nice to hear, liked last years a lot

massoluk · Jan 23, 2015

Less musical performance, seriously. I know they are all talented, but trimmed the show down please. It felt like a Peter Jackson movie

BY2K · Jan 23, 2015

I approve of this.

Neol · Jan 23, 2015

Good stuff Geoff.

I actually enjoyed watching this and it'll definitely be better the second time through with all the feedback. But I agree that less musical performances would be a bit better.

NovaCross · Jan 23, 2015

Awesome! I thought the show was great.

Akai__ · Jan 23, 2015

Please at a Europe friendly time. I won't stay awake until 6am ever again.

Hero Prinny · Jan 23, 2015

That's cool. They should trim a lot of the fat from last years, way longer than it should have been.

AdanVC · Jan 23, 2015

After last year's Game Awards, I'm honestly really looking forward for this. Dat Zelda U footage at the end was truly memorable <3.

Yeah he took it off IMMEDIATELY too, I don't think he realized what it meant haha.

AcademicSaucer · Jan 23, 2015

No more Awkward celebrities onstage please

If the overall thing is still as long as last year in the end, I will not mind. I don't think most people will mind either. When people say "it was too long", they really meant "it wasn't well paced." and "The content wasn't interesting enough to me."

Exactly. Less crowd noise. More awards on stage. The second half of 2014 TGA was amazing.

I'm so glad we get another one. Especially if it's just going to get better. I don't think I was worried or anything but it's nice to get confirmation sooner rather than later.

Brew124 · Jan 23, 2015

Good! I was hoping it'd return this year.

The Inventor · Jan 23, 2015

Good news. I liked it a lot, they need to avoid having the same technical issues though. A little bit more organization too.

chadskin · Jan 23, 2015

That's great. Thanks Geoff.

Hibiki Kurosawa · Jan 23, 2015

Awesome! Less advertise-y and more awards on stage and it could be great and I'm sure it will be as Geoff has addressed these commonly mentioned issues before in GAF threads, so I'm definitely looking forward to what he puts together this year!

KaYotiX · Jan 23, 2015

Just cut the time in half and it will be better. Was way too long this year.

Skux · Jan 23, 2015

Hopefully publishers and devs realise the success of the show and put the event on their marketing calendars. With some genuine megaton reveals it could be the perfect "halfway to E3" event.

Lakitu · Jan 23, 2015

It was great. I'm personally looking forward to the Fallout 4 announcement.

Yoda · Jan 23, 2015

Felt more like a bunch of commercials, the awards really really need to be the center piece. Their were awards where one nomination was announced, then said nomination won, then the person walked up to Geoff offstage to pick it up.

krypt0nian · Jan 23, 2015

HELL YES!

Get em, Keighley!!!

Man! Playstation Experience AND TGA every year!

petethepanda · Jan 23, 2015

Maybe they could increase the amount of awards so the show is only 85% advertisements this time around.

jblank83 · Jan 23, 2015

Will only watch if it has Joel McHale making fun of Geoff Keighley.

Derpyduck · Jan 23, 2015

Wouldn't you be ok with a 3-hour show if you loved most of its content?

Nope. Too long.

Hell yes. Of course.

Off-Kilter · Jan 23, 2015

Shocked that he didn't adopt another new name

scabro · Jan 23, 2015

just get a good sound guy

and invite joel back for at least a cameo

Devilgunman · Jan 23, 2015

Make every award on stage, Geoff. If you think you won't have enough time for all of them then cut down the awards to only significant ones.

Love Deterrence · Jan 23, 2015

Will MGSV be there? ;_;

Struct09 · Jan 23, 2015

Good to hear. I'll check out his PAX keynote when I get some time.

DieH@rd · Jan 23, 2015

Here is his full PAX opening speech
http://www.twitch.tv/pax/b/614931456

I'm glad the show is coming back, this time it will probably have even larger support from the industry. It needs just a few tweaks.

Piggus · Jan 23, 2015

Awesome. I love Geoff's passion for this industry. We need more people like him.

TheSlySoul · Jan 23, 2015

Hopefully they realize the first half was terrible and do not do it again.

RPGCrazied · Jan 23, 2015

Cool. I thought it was an improvement over 2013 show for sure. McHale ruined it for the most part, so did that rapper musical group. I'd love to see more awards being presented and not just backstage to be forgotten.

manzoman96 · Jan 23, 2015

Nice! I enjoyed last years a lot.

HammerOfThor · Jan 23, 2015

Good, I'm sure it will only keep getting better and 2014 was a HUGE improvement.

Dedication Through Light · Jan 23, 2015

Really enjoyable, I hope he has even more of a speaking role next time, hes awesome.

Servbot24 · Jan 23, 2015

Cut the music performances this year Geoff.

The bits focusing on creators and development were great.

thomasmahler · Jan 23, 2015

Love it, last years show was great! Best of luck to Geoff!

Nooooo...the Koji Kondo bit was amazing

Toa TAK · Jan 23, 2015

I'm glad that it was a success! Hopefully I'll be able to watch it live this year.

iNvid02 · Jan 23, 2015

sweet, sounds like the reception surprised everyone

Loakum · Jan 23, 2015

Actually he should reach out to Kevin Pereria (former host of Attack of the Show), to co-host the show with him. Now that would be entertainment!
