I really feel like going back and playing some C&C1, Dune or another one of their greats.

 

[Tenebrous]

Red Alert 2. My favorite RTS of all time. Yuri's Revenge was the best expansion ever. Beautiful segment Geoff.

Lost count of how many times I beat TS & RA2.

Very well done piece.

 

[killroy87]

Man, this is a good awards show. Kudos to Keighley. You can tell that he's really doing everything in his human power to make this a legitimate, fun, and respectful Video Games Award Show.

 

[medze]

Yoshi's Woolly World had the best Art Direction of any Nintendo game this year.

Don't have a WiiU so I didnt even consider this one but yeah, I'd agree. Definitely better than MGSV or Witcher 3 (though still a great game).

 

[WrenchNinja]

Is the twitch stream slow?

 

[rhandino]

iconique

 

[Seven Force]

This is amazing. I'd watch an entire awards show with stuff like this.

Simply amazing.

Yeah, props to them for actually having segments like this in the show. Great stuff.

 

[motherxwolf]

i almost shed manly tears, good job westwood studios

 

[Courage]

That was a great segment.

 

[Hugstable]

Oh wow look some colorful trees and water! Dat art direction!

There's more thought put into the mouth of Cleric Beast then entire levels of Ori.

Ori is beautiful. But art direction is about more to me then a bright color palette

Don't you think you getting way worked up over a video game award...

 

[munchie64]

"EA!" *Shakes fist!*

 

[UltraGunner]

does he still work for konami? come on BB

He's STILL on vacation.

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

Ok okkkkkkkk. If it wasn't Westwood it would have been someone else.

Jesus christ.

Yeah I really hate that whole line of thinking. They did it first. Kudos to them. But crediting everything that has happened... acting like none of it ever would have... no way. Put them on a pedestal, not a damn skyscraper.

 

[KarmaCow]

That was a nice heartfelt tribute.

Lol that evil reminder "IT WAS ALL EA's FAULT"

Ha read it that way too.

 

[diaspora]

I really... really don't care about Westwood. This went on way too long.

 

[Skelter]

Yeah ori>> with the samurai jack backgrounds. Cuphead has it in the bag next year

People will bitch that Cuphead beat Dark Souls 3 in art direction next year. Just wait.

I really... really don't care about Westwood. This went on way too long.

Boo. Dune, Bladerunner, Warcraft, Dota, and so many other games that they made or influenced deserves a little commemoration.

 

[Easy_D]

If only EA hadn't

There, I touched your post up a bit, I hope you don't mind

 

[kenjigreat]

It means so little to you that you had to let everyone know it?

I wouldn't have responded 3 times to different people . But you guys kept quoting me so I responded.

 

[8-Bit Sunset]

Well deserved Westwood!

 

[krackerjack]

That's pretty sad considering all the empty seats.

That explains the empty seats!

Are all juniors drunk? Their post history in this thread....

OT: Well, video game award shows have officially surpassed Jerry Springer cringeworthyness in my book. This is hard to watch.

Sorta reminds me of pre E3.

 

[Its Quite Toasty]

This is when a new command and conquer is announced right?

 

[jay]

Westwood was great but Herzog Zwei does exist.

 

[Moff]

I hope there is a new command&conquer announcement

 

[Disxo]

Never heard about westwood, what a wonderful story...

It's been a rough night for juniors.

 

[BizzyBum]

Castle Cainhurst in Bloodborne alone is better than 99% of other game's art direction.

 

[DeadlyBunny]

That was a good segment. I would totally watch a Westwood studio documentary

 

[BenHargrove]

Lol that evil reminder "IT WAS ALL EA's FAULT"

what if they go back to shilling battlefront after this

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Christ all mighty, take a breath man, it's just an award. One of many in fact.

 

[Drilbit777]

Thanks for ruining everything EA

Maybe they think this thread is going so fast they cant be banned or soemthing. I havent seen so many juniors in a while, thats for sure,

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Sad they needed to defend the graphics.

 

[Mengetsu]

That's pretty sad considering all the empty seats.

It's a rule with smokers who want to leave to do so in many stadiums along with venues like that.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

"Those of you who are creating games, just remember DON'T JOIN EA THEY WILL KILL YOU"

gets dragged off stage

"THEY WILL KIIIIIIIIIIIILL YOOOOOOOU"

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

This is amazing. I'd watch an entire awards show with stuff like this.

Simply amazing.

If you haven't seen it youtube the King's Quest one they did for last year's game awards, lots of great archival photos, better than the Westwood one imo.

 

[jbluzb]

I hope for witcher 3 win

 

[Scientist Supreme!]

I really... really don't care about Westwood. This went on way too long.

I mean not everyone can respect history.

 

[Vire]

Blizzard just did it better tho.

 

[iceblade997]

Joseph Kucan as Kane... All the nostagia . Gosh their games were amazing .

 

[BBboy20]

I really... really don't care about Westwood. This went on way too long.

C&C alone deserves all the tribute.

 

[~Kinggi~]

I really... really don't care about Westwood. This went on way too long.

wow thanks for your insight and respect.

 

[Ingueferroque]

Glad Ori got the nod. Love Bloodborne but it looks shit.

What the fuck?! That's even objectively wrong.

 

[Gurrry]

thought for sure we were gonna have a command and conquer blizzard team up

 

[human onion]

Once again Fuck EA

 

[OricWindstar]

What if Mark Hamill is there to reveal Luke Skywalker in Kingdom Hearts?

 

[Moaradin]

See, THIS is the kind of stuff I want to see from The Game Awards. Wish it was more of this.

 

[SRTtoZ]

XB1 release
