The Game Awards 2014 Thread: Keighley unveils, less McHales

Bit of a shame there's no McHale, he was the only watchable part of that shitshow VGX.

Then again hopefully this is finally the year when the game awards don't need a "Well that funny celeb helped dull the pain of the incredibly bad planning, production and direction"
 
McHale was great last year. He knew the show sucked and said what was on everyone else's mind. I'm rooting for Geoff here though, hope all goes well for him.

ALSO, GO SHOVEL KNIGHT!
 
Hope all goes well tonight. Obviously this isn't going to be the megaton producer some expect, but I look forward to decent showings of already announced games.
 
Will there be a spoiler thread?

I'm going to sleep but would like to sub to such a thread so I can avoid spoilers when I wake up and see a rerun of the event.
 
Can't believe no Nintendo games made it into the Best Soundtrack category. Most of the games that were nominated are great, but it's a bit weird not seeing David Wise's masterpiece of Tropical Freeze's soundtrack without even a nomination.
 
Won't be able to watch live but I'm this goes well. Geoff deserves it after all the hard work and money he's put into this.
 
Best Remaster

  • Grand Theft Auto V
  • Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire
  • The Last of Us Remastered
  • The Master Chief Collection
  • Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition
Wow, bad category. GTA, Tomb Raider, and The Last of Us are ports. Halo and Pokemon contain real "remastered" content, but Halo is still kinda messed up, so Pokemon deserves it I guess?
 
This years trophy is actually nice, and not something that looks like it was put together by a 4yr old.

I know! I was just looking at the first post and thought the same thing. Really sharp looking trophy this year, and props to Geoff for putting this together.
 
I have high hopes for this. Geoff Keighley seems to be investing a lot of his time and money into this. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint.
 
How is DK not even nominated for best music? :\

Oh well, don't care about the stupid awards themselves. Just gimme some mini-E3 trailer shit.

Obvious title not nominated for obvious category?

Maybe this IS the Oscars of gaming, then.
 
Will watch via PSN. Can't belive another mainline King's Quest is coming out. Wow, talk about taking me back to my childhood.

Wouldn't it have been better to get out early for this. You know it's going to be about 9:30 when it's over

I know. Had some work to do, so stayed up. Thought Ok, it's near anyway, so best stay up instead of hitting the sack. Hoping it goes well and I don't end up turning into a zombie when it's all said and done at 9:30 AM. :P
