Nice OT Shinobi.

Now we wait...

 

[Neiteio]

Come Home Snake

This would be amazing

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

This is like a James Bond villain collection.

 

[Phrozenflame500]

Not particularly interested in the awards themselves

Spoiler

no Undertale or Hotline Miami 2 for best soundtrack smh

, but lets hope for some neat announcements.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

I'm expecting a lot of nothing dressed in hilariously stupid dresses and I'm hyped as hell for that.

 

[Mista]

Beautiful OT. The Witcher 3 & CDPR all the way!

 

[Neuromancer]

I thought it started at 9pm EST. Is the pre show 8:30?

 

[RespectThySole]

I thought it started at 9pm EST. Is the pre show 8:30?

Yes.

 

[MisterCTwo]

 

[DarkChronic]

So stoked! Zelda or Mass Effect (or both!) is what I'm hoping for tonight!

 

[Loxley]

OP needs new, sexy Hamil:

 

[harSon]

Hopefully Microsoft or Nintendo have some new game announcements. I doubt Sony would considering they have an event in a day or two.

 

[Soulflarz]

im so ready for smash

 

[Neuromancer]

Yes.

Ok cool I'll be skipping that.

 

[faridmon]

So how prestigious is this awards show compared to like the Oscars or some...

*sees E-Sports category*

Nevermind.

What a childish and ignorant Post. E-sport is some of the enjoyment limbs of gaming.

 

[Bits N Pieces]

Hoping Quantum Break knocks it out the park. Interested to see how the game and the show come together.

Also hoping for a couple of cool new game reveals.

Good luck Geoff

 

[Sou Da]

This is like a James Bond villain collection.

Needs more Andrew Wilson

 

[Numb]

Let's do this.
Shaq Fu time.

 

[Rainy]

This is like a James Bond villain collection.

It totally does.

 

[Obliterator]

Pretty damn excited for this. Thought last year was a big improvement, here's hoping this year is even better.

Also fingers crossed we get some nice reveals!

 

[Disxo]

Nevermind.

Esports are the real deal man, cmon, it has been here since the 90's.
Its an informal show, if you want that see the bafta's and fall asleep.

 

[antitrop]

Congratulations to GAF's very own Crossing Eden for making the Advisory Board!

 

[Rez Raider]

Get the doritos and dew ready boys!

 

[NeatoKuni]

edit: nvm

 

[BananasWithGuns]

I'm already convinced it's not happening but oh what I wouldn't give for Gears 4 beta news/trailer.

Also I hope Ori wins best soundtrack and best art direction. It absolutely deserves both in my opinion.

 

[system11]

Evening PST? On a weekday? Kills it for the whole of Europe.

 

[Emarv]

This is like a James Bond villain collection.

Pokemon Gym Leaders or MegaMan Boss list.

 

[Radec]

Bring on the gold CDPR/Witcher 3!

 

[footfunghi]

[Supermanisdead]

[Game4life]

[Vital Tundra]

I'm ready for crushing disappointment.

 

[DJIzana]

I hate how they completely ignore games releasing in December. Missing Xenoblade Chronicles X, Just Cause 3... a lot more. It's a joke. Xenoblade would likely win best art direction, I would think. Oh well... good thing I only care about the World Premieres.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Smash Bros. commentator D1 tweeted out this thing, for whatever it's worth

Were they in LA last year? Thought it was Vegas, but my memory is hazy.

Maybe they will announce when the date of the smash direct. Seems like something Ninentdo would do.

My picks.

 

[Dambrosi]

So this is in just over an hour? Alrighty then, guess I'll stay up for it this once.

Though I did notice that there's not nearly enough Bloodborne noms in that list.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

*sees E-Sports category*

Actually, it's probably pretty comparable to the Oscars.

 

[Cyber Caesar]

Awesome Shinobi.

 

[nikos]

This is like a James Bond villain collection.

LOL perfect.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Lets do this. Hope we see a new story driven Star Wars game. And am pumped to hear Deadmau5 play, he is suppose to remix some sort of game music.

 

[Sterok]

Just make the industry look good, and I'll be happy. Though Splatoon for best shooter would be cool.

 

[KnownAsEpic]

This is like a James Bond villain collection.

I wish this was a fighting game character selection screen.

Spoiler

The Game Awards All-Star Battle Royale?

 

[Shenmue]

Wait is the person on the trophy Geoff? The hair on the statue in the OP looks very similar.

Also not so young skywalker looks like this now, not like how he does in the OP:

 

[Hot Coldman]

that's something you do in a tweet though
