So what was the game he was hyping at the preshow? Can't remember the exact quote but "most beautiful game,.., something something" sounds about right.

It's gotta be Death Stranding.

 

[Nikana]

People put more time into Overwatch than just about every other AAA game released this year.

I think the demand justifies the price, no?

I put 300 hours into Titanfall OG, but I still understood it's criticisms because it was fair and well-thought-out there just wasn't enough game there.

It's something like OverWatch can win then I don't want to ever hear an excuse again that there's not enough content in the game

 

[Hierophant]

straight up how can u guys hate on rtj that tells me a lot about u lol

 

[Tinúviel]

They advertised Andromeda a lot please tell EA that even if they won next years Best RPG award it seems RPG's isn't even important to take their award on stage oh also this goes to Best Multiplayer Game Award which isn't really not important aren't it?

 

[blame space]

inside is the game of the year. everyone, play it.

 

[Zukkoyaki]

GAF on awards night:

Geoff did a good job this year and the winners were all absolutely deserving. Solid show! Gets better every year!

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Yes, because an online multiplayer shooter is sooo refreshing and new...

I love Overwatch, but this is a silly complaint considering the above.

I love both of the games. But in fairness, I think Overwatch as a colorful and vivacious game does a lot more to differentiate itself from other shooters than Uncharted 4 does to differentiate itself from other cinematic adventure games.

 

[Neptonic]

its almost like there are other reasons to keep playing through a game other than B-rate hollywood polygon puppet theater

imagine that

THINGS ARE HEATING UP

 

[NullPointer]

U4 definitely got robbed, but that is ok, I will personally hand them game of the generation award

A fitting end for thieves.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

nobody is even going to remember what won GOTY in like 3 days guys.

 

[sora87]

Eagerly anticipating Kojima getting on stage, only for Keighley to hit him in the back with a chair & revealing a Konami shirt

That's a wrestlemania moment right there

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

Overwatch won? Ehh..whatever. I generally hate multiplayer shooters and I wish the characters, which are mostly good, could be put in a game that expands upon them in more depth than voice lines and animated shorts (which are cool, but I'd rather play those than watch them).

 

[Aspiring]

I thought the overall show was great! I really enjoyed it. Sure i didnt like the music but hey if they picked something i liked someone would hate that and i guess it is popular.

One other more important thing i didnt like was i Wish WISH they could have expanded on Kojimas history like they did with the Kings Quest creators the other year. That was an amazing history lesson and would have loved to hear all about Kojima and his history. Make that award feel special.

But other than that amazing show and bring in next year!

EDIT: and props to the dragon cancer game. It was one if the most tear felt moments i have had. I have always wanted to play the game but honestly don't think i could and was loterally jumping when they won. It must be such a weird feeling for him and his wife, i couldnt inagine going through what they did but he handled himself amazing. Such a touching moment.

Add a single player or co-op mode against AI sure I will bite then

 

[2blackcats]

Lol, they really don't give a fuck about the awards in this thing. Just nonchalantly tossing them out in between ads, music and trailers.

Same as the Oscars in fairness.

 

[blame space]

except when 4/5 get an additional SKU at retail

 

[The Ummah]

Complete the awards show trilogy, Kojima. Next year's show opens with Death Stranding gameplay.

Spoiler

Please balee.

Sorry, I've been out all night. Can someone provide a list of everything announced/trailers?

 

[phant0m]

Firewatch also deserved at least one award.

Should've won Best Narrative or Art Direction.

Also, Best Performance should've gone to Handibot.

 

[NullPointer]

Instead of the gaming award statue they should've won a chest with a random t-shirt inside.

I'd remember that.

 

[TWrecks310]

Its been heavily rumored for a while now. I think a GAF member even leaked it.

I see there's a thread now, but didn't know that it was rumored / leaked. I just knew WB was making a game in the Batman universe, Damian Wayne game could be really cool.

 

[AudioEppa]

Exactly lol

 

[The Technomancer]

It's gotta be hard to predict between Overwatch, Uncharted 4 and DOOM.

SUDDENLY HITMAN FROM NOWHERE

 

[N° 2048]

Where the fuck was Dark Souls 3?

 

[Vinc]

So the show was completely nailed this year. I wouldn't change anything at all about it except maybe I wouldn't have people sing about taking shits, but that's kinda down to personal preference

 

[MildSoss]

I think the game you heard of is the Suicide Squad game that's coming.

 

[Community Forum]

This wouldn't even be a thing without advertising support. It's not even on a network. It's an amazing accomplishment really. Suck it up and put up with the ads, that's what paid for this.

 

[Lunar15]

After dealing with these for so long, I'd almost rather have Keighley do a pre and post show for something like GDC, BAFTA, or the AIAS.

I understand that those shows are boring for a general audience, but they feel way more like awards shows for the industry. Then Geoff can have his marketing sponsors ride the awards without having the actual show feel so compromised and silly.

 

[Xamtheking]

I think the game you heard of is the Suicide Squad game that's coming.

No, both exist, according to Nirolak
He made a thread about it recently

 

[NullPointer]

SUDDENLY HITMAN FROM NOWHERE

Yeah. "Action Adventure" seemed like a stretch.

Brilliant game though.

 

[TWrecks310]

I think the game you heard of is the Suicide Squad game that's coming.

Well yeah but that game has existed forever and somehow hasn't been announced yet.

Assumed everyone knew about that game at this point.

 

[J_ToSaveTheDay]

My personal GOTY pick (as of right now) aligned with TGA's.

Um. Cool.

 

[Lingitiz]

It's 2016. Anything can happen.

Uncharted because this is gaf.

Oh my lord... You're my hero.

 

[Gorillaz]

Pretty sure most of gaf will side with TLG if it's actually a hit. A team Ico game that has been in hiding for years? and it's still good?

It's a wrap

 

[disappeared]

Where the fuck was Dark Souls 3?

 

[trixx]

Damn the show got a lot better though, even though still not a fan of it.

Shit has me in tears though

Really? It is Kojima. You will be lucky to have gameplay footage in late 2018

 

[2blackcats]

It's gotta be Death Stranding.

Oh yeah. Obviously. Thanks.

 

[Pestilence11]

I was also a little creeped out by Geoffs Kojima speech, I felt uncomfortable. I like Hideo and have a lot of respect for him but that was unsettling.

That's where I took my headphones off and did dishes instead of watching.

 

[Goreomedy]

so, yeah, that was, um.... YouTube and Shill.

Highs: Death Stranding

Lows: Bosman selling out harder than his Last Levelle character.
Zelda looks like shit.

the same way a singleplayer game does.

your post is embarrassing.

What is Overwatch's message then?

I'd agree with most of this except Mass Effect didn't blow me away.

This was a complete high for me. I love watching Bosman awkwardly sellout. Cracks me up every time.
