Are the video games that we actually want making a big comeback?

 

[Mozza]

No I think they will just do a show and hand out awards and have the odd game announcement.

 

[ungalo]

Probably not, but i'm not sure we want the same games anyway.

 

[Matsuchezz]

I just hope Phil Spencer get Gaming CEO of the Year, and MS publisher of the year again. That would be a complete show.

 

[Methos#1975]

Hopefully they read the room this time and actually show more awards and fewer trailers and those few trailers are actually worth it.

I think we'll see fewer live service games announced going forward.

They'll be a permanent fixture in the games industry, but that market is now saturated.

 

[SamuraiEdge]

TGA generally has some good announcements and I see this year doing the same when GTA6 is released in May.

 

[yogaflame]

It will be the same but hopefully more reveals, surprises, new trailers and more Sydney Sweeney

 

[ungalo]

The awards stink though, the categories themselves just smell like fake gamer or normie shit.

Plus if we're being honest i doubt what most people want is to see more awards, just a vocal minority that like to pretend it's so meaningful, celebrating gaming and shit.

I mean, we just got Summer Games Fest a few weeks ago, and it was one of the most demoralizing shitshows I've ever experienced in gaming, so I'm going to say "no."

Summer Game Fest is generally SHIT. TGA is better due yo time of year.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Don't really care considering half of those end up shit and the rest are either getting cancelled or might end up being good, so around 25% chances we get a game like Clair every once in a while. Industry is fucked.

It's a marketing expense for studios. So I doubt that's changing.

 

[adamsapple]

The announcements will be the same, they all depend on whose willing to pay Keighley his reported and rumored $250K or so per minute for trailers.

I would like 250k please.

 

[adamsapple]

I would like 250k please.

250K is the Summer Games Fest price, I reckon TGA is even more expensive.

Reportedly, it's 250K for 1 minute, 300~350K for 90 seconds and as high as 550K for a 2 minute trailer at SGF.

Dude got that award based off PR speech and promises that ended up being either lies or goals he couldn't come to achieving.

 

[Goalus]

Well, what I know for sure is that Hermen's right fist will stay where it is:

 

[BennyBlanco]

I bet well see more World of Tanks and Hoyoverse slop

 

[poppabk]

Im not sure what this means?

 

[diffusionx]

I think TGA and the announcements should be split into two shows.

 

[cormack12]

The big announcements are all cancellations now

 

[Ar¢tos]

We'll get announcements of announcements and a CGI trailer at the end.

 

[Kronark]

No. Keighley's shows have become some of the biggest slop fests of all because you can pay for slots / time. They're usually an hour and a half of live service / anime gatcha crap or c-tier single player games that you can tell will flop (Minds eye, etc). If you're lucky you'll get the odd 2-3 big third party announcements like a Fromsoft or Capcom release to keep the show relevant.

 

[Woopah]

2024 TGAs had the games we want, so hopefully 2025 is the same and not different.

 

[GateofD]

i want those old man muppets back this year

 

[KuraiShidosha]

This industry is dead, there are no games in development to look forward to anymore. Go back and watch E3 2001 coverage and tell me anything in the last decade holds a candle. This year will be especially heinous.

 

[Markio128]

Looking forward to the job loss of the year award, and the studio closure of the year award.
I wonder when we'll start getting the AI of the year award.

 

[DaleinCalgary]

The show is mostly embarrassing to watch.

 

[Fbh]

Not sure what you means.
As far as Keighley shows go, last year was pretty decent: Witcher 4, Okami, Neightreign, Onimusha, new Fumito Ueda game, Split fiction, new 2D Ninja gaiden, etc.
67% of people here rated the show a B, A or S tier last year.
The biggest issue last year was that, while the announcements themselves were decent, 90% of them were either CG trailers or "in engine" cinematics.

If you are talking about 3 hours of just bangers, that's never going to happen. These shows are expensive to put on and Geoff will always have to fill them up with random crap from publishers that are willing to pay.

 

[RodriGames40]

There will be less live service because this kind of game is effectively going to be torpedoed in a few months, but... We are also going to get less noteworthy announcements because these same devs cancelling their trash have nothing to show.

 

[GateofD]

i be tuning in just to hear them spam the Expedition music every category.

 

[Arsic]

Last year show was good overall. So odds are this year will be mid at best. Can't have back to back bangers.

 

[kazuyamishima]

I think there will be announcements and games.

 

[asdasdasdbb]

I have a feeling that there won't be any announcements since companies will wait to see if GTA 6 gets delayed or not.
