The Game Awards is an annual awards ceremony honoring achievements in the video game industry. The ceremonies also feature premieres of new games and upcoming content and an in-depth look at previously announced ones. The shows are produced and hosted by Canadian games journalist Geoff Keighley, who had worked on its predecessor, the Spike Video Game Awards, for over ten years. What can we expect? https://twitter.com/geoffkeighley/status/1067444243650699264 When is it? December 6th, at 8:30 EST. What can I watch it on? The main website lists a ton of different platforms to choose from, including Twitch, Youtube, and Mixer. Direct links will probably be posted in the thread. Anything else I should know? Yes! There is a Facepunch Discord dedicated to gaming events, and The Game Awards is no exception. We'll be chatting up a storm about everything regarding the event in the chat (including a small Bongo), so be afraid to jump on in. Click here to join the Discord!

Reminder to vote A Way Out for Best Game Direction to get this guy an acceptance speech
The next Far Cry game is already confirmed. So far I've heard rumors for a Crash Team Racing remaster and possibly Metroid Prime Trilogy on Switch. That one's a long shot. MGS1 remaster pleeeeease
Since we're getting a new RAGE 2 trailer I hope we also get more info on DOOM Eternal and Wolfenstein: Youngblood. I'm dying for more on both of those games.
but we already have twin snakes
Yeah I think a re-release of Legacy Collection on PC that includes Twin Snakes would be fantastic to see.
Aren't the Game Awards being broadcast on Steam this year?
Metroid Prime trilogy on Switch would make a lot of sense to get some hype going for Prime 4. I know I would buy the hell out of it and so would several of my friends. Also, Sony Santa Monica bringing another God of War GIF remake for us: https://twitter.com/corybarlog/status/1070394124233146368?s=19 That mustache is...something.
An aside but I love the style for this bongo.
Can't wait for another Death Stranding trailer so I can be confused and excited at the same time.
Oh god, yes please. Maybe a Doom Eternal release date.

twin snakes mangles the aesthetic of mgs1 and doesn't change the map design to compensate for the mgs2 gameplay slapped into it, breaking the balance of the entire game also it throws out almost all of the good songs in the soundtrack those gray fox cutscenes are cool though
More like they tease something that at first looks like Borderlands 3 but they bait-and-switch and instead it's that shitty CCG-Shooter hybrid thing that nobody asked for.
Don't forget dabbing. Randy surely hasn't.
I wonder what project Randy is going to steal money from to fund Borderlands 3.
To be perfectly honest, I don't care much about the awards themselves but to the surprisingly high number of announcements for new games that will (supposedly) take place during the event. There have been rumors of reveals like a new Alien game, Dragon Age IV and Crash Team Reacing remastered, of all things
i would be very curious to know how much viewership would drop if they ditched game reveals it feels like most people watch the game awards purely for the reveals
Considering the two former bought venues, nothing rumor about it.
A video of Borderlands characters fighting and using their powers, lots of cuts and on screen text. The screen cuts to black and the game's logo fades in from left to right. Borderlands Royale Claptrap rolls in under the title, makes a shitty pun, and dabs.
The worst part is the VA for Claptrap left Gearbox ages ago and works at RoosterTeeth now. (his twitter bio even says 'Original Voice Actor')
The only way I could be interested in Borderlands 3 is if the first trailer starts with The Big Bad (tm) destroying Claptrap right at the very start
Speaking of Borderlands https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/797/f7a3ff3a-b44f-492e-8b69-969d8766be06/image.png https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/797/0d746631-548f-4eac-8b44-9003cb7ea417/image.png Top is the new Far Cry.
There's zero reason to expect it but I want at least some word on Dragon Age 4. But if anything we'll just see some more dull Anthem stuff
A trailer for the multiplayer Prey dlc just came out today, so Bethesda using the awards for publicity seems extremely likely. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLucCtAxTXE
The number of Chinese sponsors makes me worried we'll get a hyper-sanitized ceremony. With no stuff like "fuck the oscars".
Man Prey is such an underrated gem of a game.
