Game awards 2025

The show was pretty terrible.
Skimmed through it today, it's just like every other year, More triple AAA slop on the way, A Megaman entry that's not even coming out until 2027 and i bet the bottom dollar it won't even live live up, cos' modern gaming. Then all the CGI splash trailers with 'This is in development' mix it all together with boring, long chit-chat stage presence & 1o million awards to E33 'LE SW33P' & that's the show.

Positives:
-Miss Piggy
-Miss Piggy & Rowlf Sing

As far as I remember, people demand sequels of known franchises from Nintendo.
In fact, people are demanding a new F-Zero since 22 years ago.
The problem of Nintendo is... they have too many franchises since, at least, from the Gamecube days.
For example: Donkey Kong did not have a new full 3D game since DK64 until Bonanza, this year.

Some classic series like 1080, Pilotwings or Wave Race are simply parked.

Animal Crossing, Smash Bros, Pikmin, Metroid, Starfox, Kirby, Zelda, Fire Emblem, Advance Wars, and many more... and then The Mario series: Mario Kart, Mario RPG subseries, Mario Sports subseries, Mario 2D and Mario 3D series, Luigi's Mansion, Yoshi, Wario, Peach... everyone there has his own subseries.

It's totally impossible for Nintendo to do everything.

whether they're a known franchise or not, what comes out of nintendo are old ideas retooled for a modern release and at this time, many of those releases feel like the older games but where they've tuned down the difficulty to be less difficult and don't have the same memorable feel of those older games. many of the games released this year have been forgotten and are much less talked about the further that time progresses whereas many of those franchises all have memorable releases from 20+ years ago.

stylistically and creatively, a big chunk of games that come out today are bankrupt of either/or.

bah, but this is happening everywhere. People want easy games: Many games have "story mode" to have 0 problems to advance.

I hate myself enough to watch the ENTIRE thing every year.
The only thing that i liked is that the Horsegirls won and a new shiny badass Ace Combat game coming next year.
Whatever they say don't trust anything when a new game announces and they say is from the '''''''''creator''''''''' of your favourite game like ''4Loop'' is gonna be a Back 4 Blood 2 Electric Bogaloo.

Despite there being no Half-Life 3, it was pretty good overall. I'm tired of all of the anime gacha shit, though. All of these games look identical.

Anyways, I'm excited for that Lollipop Chainsaw looking game from the ex-Capcom devs. Also the new game from The Ascent devs which is comprised of former Starbreeze/Machinegames devs.

I didn't watch. No fucking way im watching a 4 hour stream in the middle of the night on a THURSDAY NIGHT (seriously why thrusday?) for shit i don't care about.

New Mega Man was kino tho.

 

[shadowcat]

I read the reveals in an article after the fact. Only thing I cared for was that there will be new Tomb Raider.

Well... apart from Switch 2, its new Nintendo games, and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Monster Hunter Wilds, Elden Ring Nightreign, Like a Dragon: Hawaii, Battlefield 6, Assassin's Creed Shadows, Civilization VII, Death Stranding 2, Ghost of Yotei, Borderlands 4, Hollow Knight: Silksong...

Let me rephrase it then.
Nothing really great came out this year.
