I like that they both have awkward to pronounce names.

Deadman5 is the best EDM artist. I am one of his biggest fans and I am so glad he is on!

Chvrches is awesome. Good choice.

Must be getting old

You could have gotten musicians who have written songs or had songs in games like Jonathan Coulton or Poets Of The Fall, bands who have had songs in video game trailers like Garbage (Not your kind of people) or Woodkid (Iron) or even live orchestras to do music from games such as Zelda, Final Fantasy, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture etc

Can we NOT have live performances? Nobody cares.

retrogamer093090d ago

Geoff who cares about this crap? Stick to just doing a bunch of major reveals sprinkled in with some awards. That used to be one of the big reasons people even watched this show. If it's like last year and all they have is indie reveal after indie reveal then I'm not even gonna bother watching it. Also some of these nominations are jokes. How in the hell are the The Last Guardian and No Mans Sky more anticipated than Gears 4, Mass Effect 4, Dark Souls 3, Battlefield 5, etc? Hell I love QB, but in no way is that game as big or as anticipated as Gears of War 4. Idk who made up these nominations, but go to your local gamestop and see which games they're doing a midnight release for and it damn sure won't be TLG or No Mans Sky.

Last Guardian has been 10 years in the making, following on from one of the most revered classics of its day in SotC. I personally would rather have a gaming awards show represent the best of what gaming has to offer over the most popular...I'm sure there's a whole lot more bros & dudes anticipating the next Battlefield, but I'm equally certain there are plenty of core gamers anticipating TLG more. That would be like the Oscars giving best film to Transformers because it sold the most tickets. Gears 4 may be plenty anticipated & that & Mass Effect 4 have plenty of right to be on that list, but not over a spiritual successor 10 years in the making & a game that is doing something unheard of in the realm of gaming. The absolute best thing that Gears or ME can be is the best version of something we've played multiple times over, whereas NMS & TLG are a helluva lot more new & hold a lot more potential for ushering in the next phase of gaming over just rehashing everything that's come before. Not sure midnight launches are quality indicators. There was no midnight launch for the original Minecraft or Halo or Gears or Uncharted, and yet they still went on to become some of the most important franchises in gaming.

Doesn't matter if it's 10 years or 20 years. No way is that game on the same level of anticipation as Gears of War or Mass Effect. To even put them in the same league is ridiculous. Most anticipated game should mean the game that most people want to play. No Mans Sky would be lucky to get 1.5 million sales on PC and PS4 combined. Explain to me how in the world that game is more anticipated than the next Mass Effect that'll probably move fallout 4 numbers or Gears of War which will probably be a top 5 selling exclusive of this gen?

This is like having a most anticipated movie list of 2016 and having some arts film as a nomination instead of BatmanVSuperman or Civil War. .

Gears vs Halo would flip people out.

OPINION: Why The Game Awards Continue To Be Controversial and Bloated

The Game Awards have been done for a few days now, but if you think that people are done talking about its "events," you'd be sadly mistaken," as this is a topic that will be talked awhile for months. Here is what The Outerhaven has to say about it all.

Are people really crying cause there was a bunch of trailers. How can you not see that as a good thing. Am I missing something

shadowhaxor142d ago

The show is called "The Game Awards." Having less time for actual awards, is basically what everyone is getting upset at. Not just us, but most people who actually cared about the event.

TGA 2023 Felt Like A Successor To E3, For Better or Worse

A lot of substance, not enough respect.

gold_drake145d ago

i dont quite understand what people want this award show to be ?
a ridiculous woke environmental climate friendly show or a show about videogames?

not everything needs to be addressed. most people dont know the ins and outs of everything going on in the industry and therefore dont rly care all too much.

lets focus on the games and not on specific groups of people alone.

anast144d ago

I would take an hour of gameplay and in game trailers, and an hour of interviews and award acceptance. They need to strip out all of the other nonsense. This event should not just be one long advertisement, they have already raided our wallets. Shows like this are supposed to be for the gamers and the culture of the industry.

gold_drake144d ago (Edited 144d ago )

sure but what kind of advertisement, besides hamepass haha, did we see?

we saw alot of awards being given out, loads of trailers etc.
ok, to your point, we saw an ad for the fallout show.

i agree on the celebrity thing, there was literally no need for some of them to ve there. at all lol.

but other than that ... comedy stuff wasnt rly advertisement.

anast144d ago (Edited 144d ago )

They need to show gameplay, most trailers are adverts for preorders. One example is that Banishers advert trying to sell the collectors edition plastic statue.

Obscure_Observer145d ago

Well, if E3 is really dead, TGA will obviously take its place.

BrainSyphoned144d ago

I watched the MW3 joke and then a compilation of the trailers. E3 I'd at least watch a few showcases. They both are mostly irrelevant.
PS and Nintendo show off what they have made in their own videos. Xbox lets us know what they have bought/monopolized monthly for game pass, you don't need anything more than that.

Jingsing144d ago

It is Geoff Keighleys vanity show, stopped watching it years ago.

ROCKY28144d ago

TRASH TRASH TRASH
Bring E3 back and all is good

JK does both GA & GF for his own self profit
Jeff could not find another job if he tried - the very green production is always off and has major problems
Kill both shows and the world will be in a better place !
