I mean, I can also appreciate that people would rather see presenters from the video game industry. What does he really have to do with video games? It's not like he's a known gamer or anything either.
Don't really care what they are there for. The people who are putting the show together need to be paid and these companies need an audience to advertise to. There are going to be millions of eyes tuned in and we all watch TV shows and Movies so i don't see what is the problem in people getting paid to advertise as well as entertain.
Exactly. I totally endorse Brie Larson presenting TGA for instance.
Nolan and other celebs are just there to hype and bring this event closer to the masses.
What i said previously does not go against my latter comment. You can invite anyone from all facet of the entertainment industry to come together to celebrate gaming. That does not mean that they can't also advertise their projects and get paid to do so as well the show runners getting paid for the advertisement spot.That's not what you said though. I mean it would be nice to get people to celebrate games together from different mediums but I don't think that's the aim for this event.
Geoff needs the eyes to keep this thing afloat and it's never really just been about games it's a product so personally I don't care he can get whoever he wants to present.
Yea, but most of the previous game awards were trash, so I'm kind of surprised to see Nolan host one.you ever watch an award show before, celebrities like to show up there. it's kind of their thing.
There's no way this isn't some sort of validation complex.Why do we need hollywood celebs presenting awards... To make it seem more recognized?
Have more industry people present awards. I doubt people tune in to see which award nolan will give.
man that first sentence does not line up with the rest of this lolLook i dont mind, geoff can do whatever he wants. I dont have this urge some people have to prove roger ebert wrong and make "videogames art",because it already is and only old elitist people dont see it, so i dont really need celebrities to be there to validate this industry. But i'll also not act as if this is a shame and that they are looking down on us and etc, because i frankly don't care.
I dont even like the show,is a boring giant piece of advertisement. I only watch because my friends ask me to and because it has announcements. Of all the things to borrow from the movie industry,they had to do the oscars, which already suck.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.youtu.be
Should have been his brother (go watch Person of Interest if you haven't) who is actually a big gamer.
Fuck Nolan
(and his idea of releasing a movie in the middle of the pandemic and being pissed because it bombed)
ChillHear me out for a second, what if you can do both? Have known faces in games as well known faces in other forms of entertainment come together to celebrate game creators. Wouldn't it be awesome to have people across all facet of the entertainment industry come together to celebrate a medium that nearly 3 billion people on earth enjoy and partake in?
Nooooo, that sounds stupid. It should be exclusive to only people who make games. Nobody else should be invited because obviously they make movies and TV so they clearly don't know anything about story telling nor do they enjoy games, their families and friends probably don't play games. Its not like a lot of game developers also come from various industries especially graphics programmers, animators, music production etc. Disney and heck Sony, Warner Bros, Vivendi are clearly not true gaming companies because they also own some of the largest Movie, TV and Music production companies as well.
Lmao
Too much sarcasm?
My first thought was "Damn, he hates HBO Max that much!?"
Gahh, hope these non-game folks are announcing some inclusion in the industry. Feels weird when a Film Director gives an award for Game Direction, like it's "legitimizing" game direction. They are different beasts.
With that said though if Nolan gave me an award for Game Direction I'd be stoked.
Nolan is about to announce that he about to pull a Kojima and make his movies in video games instead.
It was a little extra, yeah.Too much sarcasm?
I'm good though. You and not a surprising amount of people on the other hand is bent out of shape because a movie director is taking part of a gaming award show.
If Nolan helped make a game I'd literally chop off a nut to play it
Fair enough.It was a little extra, yeah.
And I'm not "bent out of shape", all I said was I can appreciate that people who ARE bent out of shape would prefer seeing presenters related to the video game industry.
