They are welcome to delay it again and again :)

badbytes, do games w Black Myth: Wukong producer on The Game Awards top prize snub: "I came all the way here for nothing!"

Aren’t the game awards, just a panel of a handful of members. If so, not sure the award means much.

UnbrokenTaco,

The Game Awards are chosen by an international jury of over 100 global media and influencer outlets

From the FAQ

badbytes,

Thx, aren’t many of those outlets owned by same conglomerate?

They run the gamut from the long-standing outlets like IGN to the Patreon-funded stuff like MinnMax.

UnbrokenTaco,

No, I don’t think so. Maybe a couple but it’s a pretty wide net. Which ones did you think were?

NuXCOM_90Percent,

There are definitely some large chunks. But there have been no signs of any of those outlets caring enough to try to vote as a bloc.

There are definitely a lot of flaws in how the jury is selected and many (most?) of the judges past and present have pointed that out. Stuff like how they are fundamentally not qualified to judge fighting games as fighting games or the mess that is the “simulation and strategy” category or whatever they call “PC games” where people are somehow comparing MS Flight Sim to Farm Simulator to Satisfactory.

But for stuff like the major awards? It is a pretty diverse crowd and there is no indication that any group cares enough to rig the vote beyond group discords where people pester other games media folk because they want to play Helldivers again and their usual crew are busy.


I’ll also add on that, for its many many flaws, the keighleys is pretty good about being aware of this kind of thing based on a few outlets that talked about how they were judges in the past and then suddenly never mentioned it again after an acquisition or the loss of a core editor.

Is that /s?
Because that last sentence really gives me pause for thought…

prole, do games w Elder Scrolls Online developer votes to unionise

Hell yeah!

Midnitte, do gaming w FromSoftware is making more Elden Ring after all, with the co-op Elden Ring: Night Reign

Well, they said they were done making DLC/content for Elden Ring 1 — they didn’t say anything about a new game that you need to purchase.

Mandy, do games w Employees at FromSoftware owner Kadokawa reportedly "thrilled" about possible Sony takeover

I would imagine, shitheads at a huge company excited they can hoard even more money?
Sounds about right.
Is also like how nobody ever mentions anything but from software.

Like this isn’t a gigantic conglomerate basically owning the Japanese anime industry.

slug, do games w UK counter-terrorism unit demands Steam withdraw controversial shooter from sale

I’ve been thinking of this game in the context of recent discussion about Steam’s laissez-faire content moderation

Alexstarfire, do games w Of course someone has Doom running on Nintendo Alarmo now

A what?

Bonesince1997,

The latest Nintendo!

gcheliotis, do games w Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 trailer reveals Andy Serkis, Ben Starr, Charlie Cox, and more

Much of this looks good. But some of it looks painfully mid/generic. Might still be fun.

Cap, do games w Alien: Isolation sequel in early development, with original director returning

Anyone else get motion sickness playing this? Not sure why. It’s the only game that gives me motion sickness, not even playing it on the VR .

BaroqueInMind,

Turn off the blur and film grain filters it will resolve your issues.

MudMan, do games w Alien: Isolation sequel in early development, with original director returning

Neat. I wasn't able to get into Isolation, it just takes a long time to get going and I don't click super hard with what you do moment to moment, but it looks super cool and a lot of people really liked it, so I'm glad they're getting another shot at it. I'd check it out.

toxicbubble420, do gaming w The Rocky Horror Video Game is a thing, and coming out this month [Eurogamer]

jesus fuck god yes 🥵

Ashtear, do games w The Eurogamer 100

Hrm, kind of an odd mix of classics and recent releases that aren’t going to be remembered five years from now. That said, I’m just glad Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes is on here. It’s a wonderful hidden gem that barely gets talked about. I don’t even like puzzle games much, but the gorgeous pixel art and soundtrack helped me get really into it.

I’m also reminded that I need to get back to Citizen Sleeper. Was very surprised by it when I tried it (before I got sucked into Honkai: Star Rail).

FlihpFlorp, do gaming w It looks like 2007's surprisingly alright The Sims spin-off MySims is heading to Switch

Man of the my sims game I only played the racing one

I have vague memories but I really only remember the “free roam” areas of the forest and what i wanna say was a beach town

I also remember the game was at like 10 fps so little me was extra terrible at this particular game

Also there was a rocket ship because of course there was

t3rmit3, do gaming w Silent Hill 2's remake dares to modernise a classic, and is largely succeeding

SH2 is my partner’s favorite game, and I’ll be interested to hear their assessment of this. I tried SH2 on PC a few years ago, and the tank controls were just so outdated it took me out of the game.
