Games? Not sure. But awards, how about..

Ellen Page w/ Brie Larson presenting GOTY to Drunkmann & TLOU2.

Bare minimum Silent Hills, ideally with Metal Gear Solid remake. That’s about it for me, it seems my gaming taste is stuck in that era. lol

Did Sony officially announce the Insomniac purchase at Gamescom or did Jeff just put it out there?

There's been plenty of chatter about the Bluepoint potential purchase. Sony announce that and MGS remake together, Keighley passes out.

More important imho is Hades in third place, that's nice to see


Hope GoT overtakes TLoU2. I'm not a Sony guy, but I know which I'd rather play by a landslide

I want GoT to at least take out this category, not because it's a better game than TLOU2, but because Sucker Punch deserve as much recognition as possible for their improvement as a studio. They've always just dwindled around making "Okay" games for Sony, but GoT really was a ginormous leap for someone with their track record.

What time is it?

It's pretty interesting looking back on Sucker Punch, Naughty Dog and Insomniac when they all had platformers coming out around the same time on the PS2 (Sly, Jak, R&C) and where they are all at today.

is it really though? Every single year there is one overhyped steam "pc goty" indie game. like celeste and disco elysium the last years. And there will also be one next year.

Your point? You could say the same about AAA

Its awesome to see smaller studios getting deserved recognition. Dont be a buzzkill lol

Nice improvement:

Other than a God of War Ragnarok gameplay reveal teaser, nothing would get me excited. Well aside from maybe Just Cause 5 with co-op being announced but that'll never happen.

Even if GoT has the highest "user-score" on one website, scoring in the video game industry is still inflated and has been since the dawn of time. The numbers mean jack-shit. I look at the actual products and body of work.

Sly was an average platformer that lacked the aesthetics and gameplay appeal of it's fellow counterparts at the time. inFamous was fully realised by the end of it's first entry.

GoT is an actual stand-out IP that's properly comparable to the other high-budget AAA games of this generation.

Ghost was good, but that’s pretty much it, it doesn’t really deserve any award aside for maybe how beautiful it is.

That's where I'm at but I'd add in that the duels are interesting as was "writing" haiku. Everything else was fine but mostly forgettable.

Maybe last generation games I agree. Not comparable whatsoever to witcher or red dead 2 or even horizon zero dawn or death stranding or Spider-man on any level. Game is outdated as shit and it's b grade scores demonstrates that

I don't see another active Game Awards thread so first I just want to say Rainbow Six Siege is getting absolutely shafted this time around. I'll never understand how it didn't win for multiplayer or ongoing game in previous years. The team definitely deserved it for everything they've done over the years. It's 10x the game Valorant will ever be.

On topic: I think we'll probably see Dying Light 2 make another appearance. Halo is a no. I can't think of anything else that might pop up. My expectations are very low.

Just had a look at your post history, come re-enter this discussion once you've actually played the game for yourself, or once you've figured out how to inflate your peanut sized brain.

I know next gen is upon us and look forward to many new announcements for those systems BUT......

I'm really curious about Nintendo and what they'll show(if anything).

Hopefully we'll get a new fleshed out trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2
A Metroid Prime 4 trailer
Metroid Prime Trilogy remake confirmation

And the long shot: the oft rumored, fabled, urban legend, old wive's tale.........Switch Pro hardware reveal.
 
I usually watch because of the reveals but last years reveals were not very interesting from what I can remember, the biggest one I think was Hellblade 2 if I remember correctly. I usually watch with a couple of friends and we like to meme it on discord but that's about it. It is nice being an award show since it has such a big budget compared to other things going on, I appreciate it for what it is but I don't really expect any mind blowing things to happen.

Dorito Pope events have been pretty underwhelming in recent times:

I expect
1 Good announcement
2-3 good trailers of already announced stuff.
The rest will be cringy stuff, some new content coming to some popular multiplayer games, a bunch of ok looking indie stuff and a bunch of "here's a CG trailer for some mid budget multiplayer game from a dev you've never heard about....coming 2024"

DS reviewed lower than GoT on PS4.

So I suggest you do some proper research before you happily declare that you have a sheep mentality.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
