Most interesting thing is the outer worlds
A helluva lot of good announcements.
Spider-Man was robbed.
Probably most excited for Ultimate Alliance 3. Loved those games.
I think Detroit Become Human should have won at least Best Narrative or Best Performance for Connor - Bryan Dechart.
Man, I am loving the great news that a new Mortal kombat is on the way!! I wasn't expecting to hear that and am really stoked to see what is featured in this classic nostalgic fighter.
What a borefest... Im not going to buy rage again... the first one was plain. Im interested in the Pathless and the last campfire. Outerworlds seems like space fallout but after fallout 3 i got bored with such games( same with elder scrolls as the quests in skyrim where just meh compared to oblivion #bringbackthearena).
God of War wins, the game of the generation deserves. Hope that wins even more GOTY awards.
I also can’t wait for Biomutant and Psychonauts 2.
@Enuo The sequel is coming, Insomniac soon will have their well deserved moment.
I was a bit let down with the announcements! Everything I was excited about had already been leaked (Far Cry / Crash Team Racing), was hoping for a few more surprises!
I watched the whole show though and it was a great event! I agree that Detroit should’ve received a bit more recognition, it is so innovative and original! I clapped with joy when God Of War took the top award! Well deserved.
@Cordeceps yup. I thought Detroit had bagged that one too. Glad to see GOW nab goty from RDR2 tho.
So they didn't show the new Avengers game?
I'm looking at the round up list and so far none of the new announcements excites me. Hopefully Capcom will announce a big update for MHW in the next few days.
@Wormold Astrobot won. Was just skimmed over though
I can't get over Joker in smash omg
Just caught up with it now. Blimey, that was a long show!
I skipped a few bits here and there and it was still over a 2 hour watch!
Great to see Red Dead scoop up a few awards along with God of War. There were some really competitive categories this year.
Aside from CTR, none of the announcements really grabbed me tbh. I know it's not really the show for that, but I was still a little disappointed personally.
Overall a decent show. I'm not typically that bothered about award ceremonies in other industries, but it's great to see games recognised and Geoff's done a wonderful job bringing everyone together for this. Long may it continue!
No Borderlands 3 teaser?
Dead by daylight is getting dedicated servers! Lol I feel like I'm the only one here that cares about that game
Mortal kombat for me.
Dragon age 4 is just too far away to get hyped for.
But congrats to all nominees and winners!
Decent show all around. Gets bigger each year.
Highlights,
Crash Team Racing finally being announced.
Far Cry New Dawn, not long to wait either.
“Read it boy” amazing.
God of War winning game of the year. Without a shadow of a doubt, the best game of the year. Totally blew me away I’m every way. Deserved the music award too.
@SoulChimera when was "the read it boy" line?
i'd love to see that moment.
@jdv95 I think it was for “best content creator” about a quarter of the way into the show.... I think.
It was brilliant.
@SoulChimera thank you kind person !
I am really excited about Outer Worlds by Obsidian and Hades by Supergiant (if it comes to console).
This is great and all but aren't we going to talk about the fact that Joker from P5 is coming to Smash Ultimate and Marvel Ultimate Allience 3 is sadly exclusive to the Switch?
@Ridwaano I loved this too
looks like a good fallout hahahaha
@jdv95 yes, DA4 is just too far away...maybe 2021?
@paulo_godoy_BR i think it will be 2021 indeed,that's without possible delays.
anyway when this game comes out will be a year or 2 in the next gen already.
@Jriibz apparently there is some new zoomed in action view option that was probably used in the trailer. Hopefully it retains the RPG elements of the older games. I have faith Team Ninja will make a good game.
@Star-Lord Smash Bros was the tipping point for me. Probably a dumb decision getting a Switch considering my huge PS4 backlog.
I've been really busy the last couple of days, so I'm just trying to digest all this now. The Obsidian thing looks good
@Circasurviver I just picked up a Switch bundle today with Smash Bros, also got Mario Kart and Xenoblade
@Cordeceps Nice! I forgot about Xenoblade, I loved the first one on the Wii.
