Miles beat me to the image. But DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN

Whoa,

Judges selection aint bad either

 

[CriterionDog]

Hot damn
Jesus CHRIST these guys are incredible

[block tower]

but will The Game Awards have to issue a day one patch for the judges?

 

[cafemomo]

kojima is such a westaboo

 

[Arkanius]

Holy
Dorito King is doing it BIG

 

[fluffydelusions]

Gaben pls

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Martin Tremblay is hot

 

[Lordzap]

Hasn't this been known for weeks?

 

[DaBuddaDa]

Great, an awards show with an advisory board stacked with publisher CEOs. Just what the industry needed.

 

[mdubs]

Nice of Gabe to show up, really shows how much he cares about the industry

 

[HighResTomato]

This doesn't seem like a good idea.

 

[Snakeyes]

Kinda nuts to see Konami getting a rep before Square-Enix.

 

[wildfire]

This goes to show how many connections the Pope has. At the very least it will be interesting to see how people respond to their favorite not being picked considering who the judges are.

 

[CapitalismSucks DonkeyBalls]

but will The Game Awards have to issue a day one patch for the judges?

I imagine they push the show out before being fully ready with "GOTY"expected in the summer as paid DLC.

 

[massoluk]

Only one Japanese guy in there though.

 

[Kensuke]

I mean, it looks great on paper, but I suspect some of those people play very few games. Not that nominating games should only be the domain of the hardcore.

 

[Berna]

Hasn't this been known for weeks?

Yep.

The Game Awards 2014 is produced by Geoff Keighley, with the guidance of an advisory board that includes Reggie Fils-Aime (President and COO, Nintendo of America), Yves Guillemot (Co-Founder and CEO, Ubisoft), Hideo Kojima (Executive Contents Director, Kojima Productions), Shawn Layden (CEO, Sony Computer Entertainment America), Peter Moore (COO, Electronic Arts), Rockstar Games, Phil Spencer (Head of Xbox, Microsoft), Martin Tremblay (President, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment) and Valve.

Also, I'm almost sure the Advisory Board is not involved in choosing nominees.

 

[Eggbok]

Dat Kojima swag.

 

[Bony Manifesto]

Aren't they all going to, y'know, vote for their own games?

 

[boeso]

This doesn't seem like a good idea.

Perfick.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Wow, Reggie and 9 other guys that want to kill him.

 

[robotrock]

Wow. That is kind of nuts.

 

[Deleted member 22576]

I'm starting to get very curious to see what this is all about.

 

[Mezoly]

Aren't they all going to, y'know, vote for their own games?

These guys don't vote journalist do.

 

[Alienous]

Keighley, quite frankly ...

If there isn't footage of them all sitting in a room I will continue not to believe they are an 'advisory board', but more 'I talked to them all one time'.

 

[LDAF]

God damn, that is one hell of a lineup. This is gonna be great!

 

[Wiz]

Looking like a "Super Smash Bros. for Game Industry"

 

[Skelter]

I'm suddenly interested.

Never forget this pin.

 

[wildfire]

These guys don't vote journalist do.

Ah yes. You are right. I got the 2 mixed up.

 

[RedAssedApe]

This doesn't seem like a good idea.

lol do they all vote or something? just gonna vote for my own titles.

 

[wapplew]

Almost all businessman, just one or two creative personal, it's bad in my opinion.

 

[Squishy3]

you guys do know the advisory board aren't the judges right

because if they were the judges then jeff gerstmann would be on there since he heavily implied he was a judge for the game awards on one of the recent bombcasts

 

[josecitoxnyo]

Wow, Reggie and 9 other guys that want to kill him.

And 0 women.

 

[Love Deterrence]

Kojima-san is so fuckin' fine.

 

[sn00zer]

He is...updated the OP

 

[Sinatar]

Making the advisory panel the CEO's of the companies whose games are competing for the awards?

You guys don't see an issue here?

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

So what exactly does this show use an advisory panel for? I imagine most of the major pubs will be showcasing trailers for 2015 releases (like all of the preceding VGAs), but other than that, what are they there for?

 

[StuBurns]

ActiCEO is a handsome mar'fucker. Looks like a TV dad.

 

[AdanVC]

That list only needs Miyamoto to be the all-mighty Advisory Board.

 

[SalvaPot]

Dale North is not on Destructoid anymore.

COME BACK BABY, I MISS YOU.

Yea, I agree. Also, to a lesser degree, about Rockstar instead of parent company Take Two.

 

[Alienous]

I'm pretty sure that dude is just the CEO for Activision Marketing. Naturally presentation is important to him.

 

[Zeyphersan]

Reggie's going to advise Kojima to wear a Zone of the Enders pin and never comment on it

 

[CambriaRising]

Yea, I agree. Also, to a lesser degree, about Rockstar instead of parent company Take Two.

Well to be fair, The Phantom Pain is almost a shoe in to be shown there.

 

[Squishy3]

He is...updated the OP

i was talking about how many people thought the advisory panel was the people voting on the awards though

 

[Brutalitops]

And 0 women.

Not an issue, Kojima's stunning beauty is worth 10 women

 

[CO_Andy]

Nacho is an actual name?

 

[Chuck]

Nice logos. They'll represent gaming well.

 

[Kintaro]

Oh no, There is a pretty big conflict of interest there. But you can't do anything (anything) in video games without the fingers of the various publishers dipping themselves into the pie.
