Gotta “love” how Keighley always skims through half-a-dozen awards in a minute closeup…

Edit: Even Art Direction gets skimmed through? They really should just rename these to The Game Trailers…

Indeed. That Divinity trailer was pretty rad as well.

The next game from Jonathan Blow and his team, Order of the Sinking Star, has finally gotten a trailer!

I loved Braid and I loved The Witness, so I’m sure I’ll love this game too. And I mean if a game is going to take 10 years to make, it should have a substantial amount of content in it! It’s advertised as having 1000 puzzles with an estimated 500 hours of playtime to complete it all. I don’t know if it’ll take me that long, but the bottom line is it’s gonna be a beefy game!

I haven’t played it yet but I understand E33CO is amazing.

I’m incredibly impressed with the resolve of human spirit, inspiration, and dedication to create a piece of art, especially something so amazing.

I wish some other games had won some of these major awards.

There were some pretty neat announcements though, Gang of Dragon being my personal no. 1. I haven’t been really happy with the direction SEGA/RGG have been taking the Yakuza series in recently, so seeing OG Nagoshi working on an alternative makes me quite enthusiastic.

Ace Combat 8 was another umph for a jet nut like myself. And that Coven of the Chicken Foot thing (or whatever it was called) looked pretty charming too. And of course, a new Remedy game is always a plus.

Also, for a moment I thought Patient Zero Requiem would finally be another PZ-style mini campaign, but alas…

The Thank You Update that went live during Clair Obscur’s GOTY acceptance speech looks fantastic.

New location (Verso’s Drafts), new boss battles in the Endless Tower, new costumes (Maelle in a tophat :grin:), luminas and weapons.

Most importantly, Photo Mode and the ability to save up to 50 loadouts.

I hate that they released it at 11pm my time. :face_with_bags_under_eyes:

SAROS looks amazing for fans of Returnal. It’s basically… more Returnal with a different skin lol.
There even seems to be some strange out-of-place mysterious hotel corridor that will reveal major character backstory much like the mysterious old house in Returnal
…GIMME!!

You may have noticed a mysterious corridor and bedroom which you will need to explore. In the interest of protecting our mystery I will let the trailer share what we want to share about our story so you can discover it ahead.

Also yay, Jane Perry returns to voice a character! Love that lady. :orange_heart:

For fans of Selene Vassos from Returnal, the one and only Jane Perry is back as Sheridan Bouchard. Jerome Jackson is performed by fellow Aussie Ben Prendergast (Tyr in God of War: Ragnarok), Sebastian Torres is performed by David DeSantos, and you can hear the fantastic Adriyan Raye (South of Midnight) and Shunori Ramanthan in our trailer too. We have even more amazing cast members to share, they have all been exceptional.

Also, shown on the Playstation website are the suits you get for the pre-order and Deluxe editions.
Hands of Shore seems to be an original design for the pre-order, and the Deluxe suits are based off Returnal, God of War, and Ghost of Yotei, woohoo! Love the streak of red face-paint on the Midgard armour.

oooooh and with Control 2 next year too?? gosh can’t wait, I’m eating goooood
