It is literally the pinnacle of awesomeness.
I can't handle the amount of sheer quality and hype from those reveals.
I think I need to lie down and calm down - the hype will give me a stroke.

IGN, what the fuck happened to you? You used to be my #1 choice for VG news. Now ... look at yourself.
LOOK AT YERSEEEELF!!

The black dude is trying way too hard to be funny and hype. The white dude has more or less surrendered to his fate.

I hope you arena shooter fans managed to see Splitgate. You guys were just talking about wanting a new arena shooter in a thread last month.

Looked interesting except seems like you could end up shot in the back a lot thanks to all those portals.

Funny thing is that it's midnight right now in my country ... but I can't stop watching. I *want* to see how much worse it gets.

You caught it on the tail end but expect Trailer and gameplay showcases with a small bit of talking. This has been a well paced show.

Glad to have spend that time in Valorant.

You didn’t miss a lot. Be thankful you didn’t watch the Koch stream nine of us will never get that time back.

I miss the days where videogame websites were run by awkward but genuine gaming dorks.

You're absolutely right. This will unfortunately happen more and more as our dev tools progress.
It felt like they needed to show they still have staff at IGN lol. Their channel has been 90% trailers and gameplay previews this year with almost zero faces shown. I keep expecting them to change their channel's name one day to this:

Still out there. But generally shoved into corners where hardly anyone will find them.
I absolutely loathe the fake enthusiasm of today. It's such bullshit. I feel like they think I'm an idiot, so they treat my like one.

My picks of show:
Games that need more footage/need more work, but to keep an eye out for:
Unpacking seems cool, just not for me. Also I didn't count DLC trailers or games that I already knew about from a previous event, like SiFU, Tunic, Mortal Shell, Streets of Rage 4, and Skatebird, but I am interested in those.

You're going to get a lot of that this year. People are hosting a live global televised event from their home offices two rooms down the hall from their screaming kids...
Better to hear a host come with some energy than listening to somebody drone on and on about market factors and production goals with no gameplay to look at. Shit's hard to do well, and the audience starts with children, not old fucks like you and me. Come for the show or don't; all the trailers get posted later and Youtube has a skip button if you timeslip, it's on you if you choose to watch things you don't enjoy watching.
Jamie Kennedy is gone, at least it can never go back to that...

I actually think the opposite is happening where they're teaching those same geeks and nerds speaking and presentational skills so that they don't come across as awkward on camera. Day9 is a great example of someone who is both.

Just don't be mad if the few Arena shooters of today start flopping in sales again.

True. Jeff Gerstmann may have never known a makeup artist for the first decade of covering videogames. Now, I'm certain he has a simple but regular regiment before he steps in front of a camera.

Not watching the IGN show but I have to say that these videos are more interesting than what was showed in the yesterday show (well, with the exception of Elden Ring, obviously).

Sometimes the people you least expect get the better trailer grabs and gameplay showcase deals. Either Geoff made bad second half-picks or IGN beat him to the better deal.
No, strongly disagree.
This stuff can be done without hosts who seem high on cocaine. It has been done. Cut the bullshit, nobody's here to see you. Nintendo does it well with their Directs. Minimal talking, maximum focus on games. Want more personalities and mumbo jumbo? Watch Treehouse afterwards.

I played a bit of this early on sometime ago on PC. It is looking a LOT more polished now. I'll have to check this out on Xbox for sure. Thanks, I missed the stream and caught this thanks to your post.
It certainly is as described. Halo + Portal. It is good solid fun. You have to remember this was a passion project for a small team, sounds like it has gone from strength to strength. If I recall this thing is all about getting the gunplay and FPS down right above all else. I remember it moving and flowing very well with excellent netcode too.

Man I am excited for more Tunic, I have been following it for years and it looks great!
Kind of weird presentation/attitude by that one host but I am always here for Brian Altano. Dude is a treasure and should be appreciated. Though I will say some of the excitement hype man stuff he did came across forced. He is all about real takes so seeing him in this role is strange.

You didn’t watch Koch yesterday did you?
It would be damn hard for any show to be worse than that,
