Is there a possibility that that Joel banadaras was a next gen render?

#TeamCG

 

[Draconian]

So Geoff blatantly lied about there being something from Sony there?

Absolutely not. They got their new Banderas meme to keep alive the next 6 months. Everybody seems to be happy in this thread.

 

[IrishNinja]

Finally, some real music.

This isn't music.

hahaha

 

[dragonbane]

Well the last song was awesome at least.

 

[soontroll]

holy shit I wish I was fucking sleepwalking after listening to that piece of shit

 

[TheOGB]

This lead singer lolol

woah what

 

[chubigans]

Man what was Sony thinking, not showing anything against those two Titanfall commercials and ten seconds of Quantum Break gameplay.

 

[okayfrog]

Another year, another neat VGA's. Looking forward to next year's!

 

[Alchemist]

Glad I wasn't hyped for this.

 

[vpance]

Sony guys def caught wind of how shitty the show would be.

 

[Super Stardust]

Hey we haven't namedropped Titanfall for a whole 5 minutes - cut to another promo!

It doesn't feel genuine. It feels like dastardly PR wheels are turning and trying to manufacture fan hype.

Not this again...

 

[Diggeh]

"You've left me miserable, miserable, miserable!" pretty much sums up the VGX.

 

[Memino]

Boring overall and worse announcements than last year but I was too drunk to care, back to zelda lbw I go.

 

[Mar Nosso]

Destiny looks awesome, inviting, fun, layered, full of colour. You can explore an entire solar system it seems, you have single player and massively cooperative online multiplayer. Titanfall looks grey and has giant robots. Yay. I can't see the interest in the latter, I'm sorry everyone that does.

 

[Nabs]

Haha I hope this is sarcasm.

Yes, but I regret it now.

 

[lazybones18]

here you go NeoGaf

it is glorious *claps*

 

[unknownstranger]

Mechs in Titanfall still just looks like a normal FPS with a different overlay to me.

 

[Crayolan]

The entire show

 

[mysteriousmage09]

No Man's Sky was seriously the best thing shown.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Well it's over. No Valve announcement. Oh well...

 

[SolidSnakesMyStepDad]

This lead singer lolol

woah what

His voice was so off.

 

[Syphon Filter]

last song was bad.

 

[TheOGB]

Not sure if serious.

 

[blankempathy]

I kinda feel bad for Geoff Keighley, it seems like he is very passionate about video games, and is only trying to put on a good award show for gamers. However he should have learned from now that gamers are one of the most jaded demographics. He has a better chance of winning the lotto than pleasing them.

I might agree if it weren't for that whole doritos/mt dew incident.

 

[statham]

it sucked, no ME, DA, FO4, crackdown. Witcher 3 and QB looked good. But come on!

I disagree.
99% of GAF could cobble together a list that would please most viewers, and also be relatively feasible (not games like Shenmue 3 etc)
Gamers aren't all jaded, they just don't care for shit like this, being treated like morons.

 

[viveks86]

The last singer, is he a professional? Dear lord! It was like karaoke night!

 

[Kintaro]

This thing set gaming back. If you care about this medium, at all in any small way, shape or form, you should be disappointed by this...thing.

 

[DukeBobby]

No Man's Sky was seriously the best thing shown.

Yep.

It has the potential to be absolutely incredible.

 

[jamztio]

*Sorry GAF, rant incoming.

Disappointing show is .....disappointing. Can't believe I woke up at 6am on a Sunday just for this show. The only thing they showed that gave me "goddamn" moment is the Witcher 3. Broken Age also looked great though, might get it.
Everything else was just so so. Lara's new face was odd. Thief, I believe most already knew much about it. Two of the big game reveals are from Telltale? C'mon... Don't get me wrong, I love them and can't wait for their GoT but two games are just overkill to me.
And the BIG awesome thing that Geoff hyped to no end from Titanfall was just a new Mech??? (yeah, I'm looking at you too Kojima).
Anyway, fortunately Joel saves the day and seeing ND crews cheering was just awesome, although no updates from them.

*end rant.

EDIT: another new Mech? Really?? *facepalm

 

[Scoica]

Thanks to ElTorro:

and here we go, the gif storm is coming:d

 

[Angelus Errare]

Man that rock song was so bad. Like can't spell crock without rock, that's not even rock that's like emo music. That's the kind of music you listen to if you want to pretend your cool while you sip your latte at Starbucks with your $80 jeans you bought at Wet Seal. Stupid rock and people with their rock trucks, with deer antlers on the front. I'd rather listen to a cow in labor.

Really should have gotten a good rock artist like Lenny Kravitz, first rock artist in years to actually have something to say.

 

[E92 M3]

I thought the ninja Titan would have a sword -- would've been sweet.

 

[Professor Lich]

I liked how 90% of the crowd wasn't really digging the music at the close there.

 

[StoopKid]

Lol this never gets old.

 

[FirewalkR]

Well, in terms of reveals this must have been the worst VGA/X that I can remember.

 

[Chobel]

It doesn't feel genuine. It feels like dastardly PR wheels are turning and trying to manufacture fan hype.

While Titanfall really deserve all the hype, I agree with in this one, Geoff really looks like he's faking all that hype for Titanfall.

 

[Daouzin]

"Co-hosted by Geoff Keighley"

No wonder Geoff was so pissed throughout the whole show. I would be too.

I don't see why, his 'stage presence' just doesn't work for this kind of show. He needs to just hire people to do the show for him and just be the guy that makes it happen. He clearly can't handle making it happen and doing it well.

If it weren't for Joel, I would have tuned out after the first 5 minutes.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

Was that the 360 version of Titanfall they were showing or something? Looked muddy as hell. And holy shit at those greys and browns. Respawn, invest in a color palette. That looked horrible.

 

[Village]

oh god cliffy why

 

[iShouldGoPro]

Can we get a gif of No Man's Sky???

I need the highlights of that video in my life... Especially the snake part

 

[CrackPebbles]

Not suprised, I should have just kept playing valkyria chronicles and never bothered to watch this like I planned.

 

[Pez]

Embarrassing shows like this are the reason NeoGaf exists.

You know every developer who gives a damn is here reading this thread and heckling.

 

[Sibylus]

If that guy wasn't closing, I would have said bring back the hip-hop. His voice. What happened to it.

 

[hodgy100]

This thing set gaming back. If you care about this medium, at all in any small way, shape or form, you should be disappointed by this...thing.

Yeah I'm pretty damn disgusted all things said. I love and hate this industry all at the same time :/

 

[TaroYamada]

If they want to do music that's fine but I'd really prefer something a bit more classy, like doing something with video games live, or having an orchestra play nice, original, compositions for games. Since the show is supposed to be about games.

Or, SST Band.

 

[AstroZombie]

That was one of the worst ...things ..i've ever watched.

 

[dragonbane]

Let me remind you guys that Nintendo was here and promoted this event. Think about that.

LOL!

 

[soundpross]

No love for rap?

DAT JOEL BANDERAS THOOO.

 

[Chuck Norris]

I wonder if a few of the world exclusives like Sony pulled out due to the new format. Nowhere near as much exposure as being on TV
