Best Trailer? Yes...award the trailer that can dupe consumers.

It's pretty stupid that there's no categories in the sound/music categories.

most pointless awards ever, Something tells me Geoff Keighley had something to do with it. Why does he have to host everything?

Can't fault him for getting his hustle on and making stuff happen, but yeah I am definitely sick of seeing his face now. Kyle Bosman in the pre-show was a pleasant surprise though.

I am hyped for Cyberpunk and The Medium but didn't see anything at Gamescom to get me more excited for either.

Kind of a lame show to be honest. I am happy to see Sam and Max VR since those are like my two favorite things.

These awards are even more shitty than the usual industry awards because games that haven't been out yet got nominated and even awarded with stuff... that just screams "marketing deal".

I don't see Sony on the list, but "PlayStation" is there. Similarly, I see " Xbox" rather than Microsoft.

I'm not a big fan of referring to these companies by the names of their systems, but there you go.

Ah PlayStation is there .... now.

I recall looking at that list before gamescom and “PlayStation” wasn’t there - I remember seeing Xbox and looking for something Sony related 🤔🤔🤔

Maybe I missed it at that time though.


EDIT: Looking back at that list of partners - up to the 26th August PlayStation wasn’t there(I didn’t look beyond the 26th ) https://web.archive.org/web/20200826041227/https://www.gamescom.global/gamescom-now/partners/

So yeah - the “awards” were decided from a list not including PS. They probably already filmed the award footage before PS was even known to be represented...

The award text is clearly saying PS5 was not nominated because it was not there.

Short: bias.

Longer: “Gamescom Awards are based on products actually participating at Gamescom (in whatever form). PS5 is not nominated because it wasn’t there; Xbox Series X was physically demoed.”

Perhaps Sony just didn't read the memo. It happens.

I wasn't that interested in the Series X.

But now that I know it's officially more anticipated than the Intellivision Amico I think I'll pick one up at launch!!!
 
Best Playstation game in 2020 is Cyberpunk? What is this fuckery.

Also most wanted tech and the choices are between:

– Intellivision Amico
– Cloud Gaming (beta) with Xbox Game Pass
– Xbox Series X

Seriously..... fuck off.

Rachet and Clank fanbase is small Compared to Cyberpunk.
