    I’ve never cared for it - the entire show’s awards and announcements could be YouTube Shorts that I can pick and choose to watch, and I’d get exactly the same thing out of it.

    I wait a day and then check for a megathread with bullet points, then see if there is anything of interest to me.

      I’ve been expecting it the last couple of games showcases where there were rumors too. I will say the new hardware launch makes the rumors more compelling, but I will literally not believe it until I see it. I’m fully expecting the event to end on a dumb note and to say “that’s it!?” like the last couple of times I got my hopes up

    Larian

    Fromsoft

    Nintendo

    Those are probably the only developers in the AAA world that are not selling money printing skinner boxes but the games are still fun.

    Indie devs don’t have money to advertise on that shitty show.

      I guess that depends on where your cutoff is for AAA, but if you’re including FromSoft, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II just came out this year at a similar level of budget and production value. And I know people have their issues with Unreal, but it really has raised the bar for what a “AA” might be capable of. The likes of Avowed, The Outer Worlds 2, The Alters, Split Fiction, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 this year (and games like The Thaumaturge last year) are all what we would have expected out of a AAA game in the not-too-distant past, most of which comes down to scope, where a lot of AAAs are arguably doing too much.

        I haven’t played any of those yet but isn’t the subject what we’re looking forward to seeing at the Game Awards? I’m not sure if those studios are rumored to be announcing anything on the show.

        I’m gonna have to toss a going between Expedition 33 and KCD2. They both seem like my type of game

    Personally I’m hoping for

    • Larian’s next game announcement
    • info on Light no Fire
    • anything by fromsoftware
    • a new final fantasy game that isn’t based on ff7
    • the new bioshock game that was rumored for years now

      I suspect Larian will take their sweet time.

      Bioshock sounds like it’s in development hell; I’d be suspicious of that.

        Larian’s next game is the teased statue that Keighley tweeted, so they’ll have something to announce tonight. The only thing they said it isn’t is Divinity: Original Sin 3, but it could be a different Divinity RPG, or a looter like the old-school Divinities, or a new Dragon Commander, or a new spin-off entirely. They’re also a multi-project studio now.

        Nah, Larian will jump the gun, release too early and have another bug infested game. They need to reduce their scope, actually take their time and make a great RPG. BG3 was too much for them, a smaller more refined experience would have been amazing, they shouldn’t chase “bigger is better”.

            Ignoring all the problems, sure. You could get through it, but there were lots of bugs and inconsistencies. I played again recently after all the patches and while it was much better, it still had it’s fair share of issues. The overall game, lore and story is very good, though I think DOS combat is far superior for a video game than DnD.

      Same for FF but also no tactical shite either, turn based is fine but the damn chessboard shit was enough during the 3DS era, so many great stories ruined by the gameplay.

    I am really hoping to see FF7R Part 3 reveal.

    I know it’s not everybody’s cup of tea, but I love that series so far.

      Please… It’s time to let them go. Square has been on life support for the past 25 years. Just… You have to let them go. I’m sorry. I loved them, too.

    Steam box price and release date, more Slay the Spire 2 info, next Zelda teaser. All very unlikely.
