Do you think announcements on the upcoming The Game Awards will be different?

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

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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.

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