Wouldn’t be way out of left field with the new headset they already announced

[–] Ankkuli@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

It would be because Valve said they are not in the process of making a new VR game.

[–] ampersandrew@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

We know HL3 is happening, and if you trust Jeff Grubb (you probably should), we know nothing is happening with Bloodborne right now.

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

I’m not really excited about anything because I don’t care much for AAA but it‘s funny to me that a show like the Game Awards was never about the awards but just an excuse to show some world premier trailers.

They keep telling us how this is a celebration of this year while trailers for games in the coming years take center stage. It feels more like the most cynical funeral of old games while the new ones get coronated with their announcements.

And I know this is comment isn‘t deep or profound to anybody who ever watched the Game Awards but I just find it comical every year.

[–] ampersandrew@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (4 children)

On the other hand, winning an award from this show has a tangible effect on game sales, so it's nice when a game like Baldur's Gate 3 can beat the mainstays like The Legend of Zelda and earn that bump for themselves.

[–] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

It‘s definitely clever to wrap the Award show into a Superbowl type of event for the gaming industry. It ensures there will be a lot of eyes on award winners. But they still have to share the attention with the new shiny things that are being advertised so it‘s always a little awkward. It‘s bizarre but part of the experience and let‘s be honest, most of don‘t care about popularity contests. We tune in for the trailers.

It's just a big advertising show yeah. Like E3 but with all the soul and community sucked out of it. I dont know why anyone cares.

[–] pheonixdown@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I just want to see some more exceptionalism from Flute Guy.

My wife and I was laughing at that a while back. He's great.

[–] marighost@piefed.social 5 points 1 week ago

Oh hell yeah, we get to see him go ham on some Clair Obscur music.

[–] ampersandrew@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Always a highlight of the show. I hope he never cuts his hair.

[–] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

The disappointment in my brother's eyes when Half Life 3 isn't announced...

... and mine too :(

[–] flamiera@kbin.melroy.org 17 points 1 week ago

None of it.

[–] simple@piefed.social 12 points 1 week ago (12 children)

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

Starseeker, light no fire, the host being gored by a bull

[–] CodenameDarlen@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Looking for to be sleeping, I really don't give a shit about that.

[–] vivalapivo@lemmy.today 6 points 1 week ago

E33 should fuck

[–] Redacted@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

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

[–] nithou@piefed.social 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The coronation of Expedition 33 mostly!

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

I wanna see what a $1m 3 minute trailer looks like!

[–] Monster96@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (4 children)

The same thing I've been waiting for since 2003. A new F-Zero

I heard it's likely we're gonna see some KOTOR on there.

[–] Ashtear@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago

Close enough

[–] rafoix@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

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 think award shows are head-ass narcissist nonsense.

So, none of it.

[–] Saapas@piefed.zip 5 points 1 week ago

Crowbcat compilation. Tbh I didn't know they were still doing that Game Awards

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is this the one where devolver digital does something goofy? That's usually pretty fun

[–] Kovukono@pawb.social 4 points 1 week ago

They might have, but I mostly remember their E3 shows.

[–] Kovukono@pawb.social 3 points 1 week ago

I really want a release date for Clockwork Revolution and Judas.

[–] mysticpickle@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Watching Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 sweep every category it's in. That game is absolute cinema
