Ah. I already knew we weren't going to get anything big from this, like a Zelda trailer.
Telltale though, yikes, they need to slow down.
Lord we being made fun of.

People were complaining about this show being boring would be bored to teared at the BAFTAs, which follow a more black tie presentation.

I mean, the chat and gaf seemed to have a pretty negative reaction to it.
I find the BAFTAs more entertaining than this ad-riddled garbage. That show is ACTUALLY about the nominees and the winners.
Uh huh.
It's streamed every year.
Idk if it's just him. It looks like literally everyone is pretty salty at Konami right now.
It felt like Keighley really was trying to give the appreciation and awards angle a stronger push this year. I'm not going to cry foul when it seems like a lot of the pain comes from the commercial reality of it- all the shilling moments just suck the life out of the thing, but I don't know how else it would even happen were it not for that type of support. Changing Keighley won't change that.
I will say that, despite having the look, voice, passion, and history to pull off hosting this, Keighley always comes off either exhausted and/or stressed. Either he needs to work on that side of his gig, or get someone else. No shame in finding your own replacement for the betterment of this thing you clearly care about.
My pick, if it is to continue, would be Day9, who I think can strike just the right tone to blend appreciation, hype, and some knowing humility.

Drunk plus slow prompter you can see her waiting. That might have caused her to want to fill the air which is...usually disastrous.
Its been a lot lately actually not just the K thing

I bet she'll be really embarrassed tomorrow and apologize on social media. but sheesh. was not cool.
She has the I hammered but just did a bump before coming on the stage look
Nothing gives me greater relief than avoiding Deadmau5 music.
An awards show unite anyone? People will draw lines for anything and in this case it's for any award a game they like didn't win.

So true it hurts, lol.
My highlights
- Konami shots
- Iwata tribute
- Jade's spoiler alert
The rest was just a bunch of cringe and meh announcements
and EA sponsorship of course

There is no way she is sober. She is definitely slightly tipsy.

I really can't feel anything but disdain for Kayleigh given that he straight up lied about there being Nintendo news

My impression was Sterling's tweet was mostly a dig at the show.

nevermind heard of Day9. but bosman proved his worth in those miller lite segments lol
Man
its embarrassing
This is an awards show and people were throwing around low blows just like the idiots on the net who harass developers over their work. Have some professionalism ! No wonder gaming has such a bad stereotype when the people at the top cant act civilized for a few hours.
Reggie, even though im not a huge new age Nintendo fan you are one class act.

This year's show is a decent improvement over the terribad previous years. More professional (with a few exceptions) and more classy, while still having some humor. Much less cringe-worthy. Keighley did a good job. Nice Iwata tribute. For the most part I was OK with the award winners. Very disappointing slate of world premieres...Psychonauts 2 was probably the most interesting premiere. The previous years had WAY bigger world premieres.
The Twitch stream remained functional and good quality throughout. (I didn't pay attention to the chat because I knew it was gonna be utter shit.)
I do think the show had too many adverts, some annoying shilling, and I think it lasted about 30 minutes too long, and I think it played it a little bit too safe at times. I can see why some folks were bored.
Jade looked like she drank some hard stuff earlier in the evening.

Then again, isn't she the one that made Splinter Cell sans Ironside? Equal disservice.

Sometimes hard to tell bro.
Wasn't that straight up debunked in this very thread?

God's had his chance.
I gotta say though - everyone commenting on Sutherland like Jade cut him deep or something like he hasn't heard a metric FUCKTON of hate over his role as Snake already.
Like he gives a shit. Just smelting that trophy down into a sherlock and finding Hamill so they can bluntman the fuck outta the back room.

Would be interesting to know if he lied, or if, as we know from past shows both awards and events, the data was pulled by the company.

Geoff's show keeps improving little by little every year. There weren't as many cool reveals this year, but I thought that they did better on the awards side of things (Jade Raymond's gaffe aside...)
Also -- great tribute for Mr. Iwata with a moving speech by Reggie, an excellent piece on Westwood, and Konami getting what they deserve.
So, good job overall. As I say every year, though, I think the show could probably benefit by cutting back on the musical acts. I think just keeping it to one performance would be fine.

Lame that there weren't any Nintendo reveals. The Iwata tribute was awesome though.
Bloodborne is really niche and how many metal gears have been made but your knocking witcher because another game happened to come out?
Wow.
After 25 years in gaming witcher is the first rpg I've really fallen for so I'm happy for it and CD red
