Keighley announces The Game Awards 2019 to be held on 12.12.19 (5th Anniversary!)
- Thread starter Phendrift
- Start date
Geoff needs Reggie. If Kojima is Geoff's Krillin, then Reggie is his Vegeta.
Should just be 10 minutes of the best arguments from their E3 interviews.
hopefully there's no cringey kojima tribute in the game awards, that bit was hard to watch at the gamescom opening night live.
his announcement of his marriage to Kojima and their open relationship
Huh? Why does he need to provide a statement of transparency? It's his show, I don't think he needs permission to have guests on and Kojima doesn't need permission to put certain people in his game. If you don't like either, don't watch/play the game.
I'm not even a fan of Kojima or his games, but this is a weird thing to complain about.
there's 101% going to be a smash reveal, and if we continue the trend of two announcements from nintendo you're only, maybe, getting one of those 3.
Keighley doesn't get a vote, that's how it's handled. What trailers or game reveals have been at TGA:s probably haven't had any effect on what games media thinks is the game of the year. Most games that have had a trailer there haven't scored even a nomination. Keighley doesn't benefit from Death Stranding winning any awards, even though he has the cameo.
And DS ain't winning anyway.

It should, but Kingdom Hearts 3 will probably also be nominated, so it won't.

I wouldn't be so sure, Three Houses is more acclaimed
Are you sure about that? Three Houses still has buzz, but KH3 feels like it's hype fizzled out a few weeks after release, and a lot of impressions I've read are that it was ultimately a disappointment due to how backloaded (and for some, nonsensical) the story was. I haven't played the game and probably never will, but going off impression so on message boards and Reddit has led me to this observation.
And also, are the awards given based on popular vote or panel of "experts"? If it's a panel, then KH 3 will certainly not beat out FE

I think it's 90% panel, 10% fan vote? Maybe Geoff Keighley can correct me if I'm wrong or if they're changing it this year
hopefully it's in the middle of the show so i can use it as a bathroom break

I'm not so sure, it made sense to give it to him right after the Konami deal and at Gamescom when there wasn't an awards aspect, but they may try to avoid something like that as it'll be awkward if he's among the nominees
I don't vote on the nominees or winners for the Game Awards -- we have a separate panel. It's not just because of DS, but in general it's better that I am not involved to avoid any conflict of interest concerns.
Do you think people thinking about conflict of interest are overreacting? I mean it's a serious question. You do an awesome job but maybe you are tired of people always saying this about you being friend with Kojima etc..
It's a totally fair question -- I appreciate that everyone takes the awards so seriously. I work so closely with developers across the industry on world premieres and other projects that I am happy to not vote. Plus, I get so busy with the show I honestly don't have enough time to play all the November games until post-show.
I admit, as someone who loathed the VGAs, I think that the TGAs have morphed into a mostly enjoyable industry event. It's not perfect as an awards ceremony, but as a marketing event, it's done a good job of being a fun winter season preview event with good (but not great-- this is the area where I think it could improve a lot) acknowledgment of some of the industry's annual achievements.
I personally like having an event to look back at the year and also look forward to the future.

I think that's good. In 2017 fortnite was nominated which was controversial, but you even explained that it had merits for and against it. Having a panel decide can have fair spread opinions.
Theres only one song i want performed and that Bullshit is Blazing...
I wouldn't expect anything PS5 til February or so. Next-gen depends on who's willing to talk when.
