Unless there is anything about IOI’s 007 game, there is little that I am anticipating. ---

I have a love-hate relationship with how this show focuses way more on the ads and game reveals than it does on the actual Awards and people behind the games. That said, I can’t say I’m not interested in whether we’ll see - The Wolf Among Us 2 - Oxenfree II - Alan Wake II Boy, I have a lot of 2’s on my upcoming games list ---

honestly, i’m the opposite. i just want to see the reveals. i’m not all that interested in the awards myself, though it is undoubtedly nice to see a developer you like do well (go sloclap!) ---

Usually I’m not super interested in the awards themselves, but this year I definitely am, there are a couple of games that are up for game of the year that I felt like were there with actual good reason, rather than just being a parade of the latest games in stale franchises. Stray, for instance, was a fantastic indie game that, while it wasn’t my favorite game of the year, it was a great experience. Elden Ring, too. It had sort of a weird surge of players because it actually released in a playable state and you didn’t have to wait 3 months for them to actually finish it. I’m interested to see what wins. ---

I only saw TGA last year because a twitch user I follow happened to be streaming it. Watched it live and they did NOT nominate HITMAN 3 for anything beyond “best VR game” or something like that, when the VR was a PS4 exclusive at the time and it was not even good. Not even a GOTY nomination for H3… game got absolutely snubbed. 0/10 won’t be watching tga ever again. ---

> [@Tiki2970](#): > > Not even a GOTY nomination for H3… game got absolutely snubbed. 0/10 Such is probably the consequence of releasing your game very early in the year. Even now, there’s been tons of talk about the latest Need For Speed, the new Pokemon Games, the Callisto Protocol – granted, not a lot being talked about all those games is good, but if they all were, they’d still be greatly overshadowed by whatever comes in 2023, just because of this ineligible-TGA-release window so late in the year. ---

Good. Should still be featured in the main event) Should out to the person next to “average jonas” with that stunned performance ![image](https://hitmanforum-v6-s3-uploads.s3.dualstack.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/original/3X/c/2/c254ef15795e08fa7d503ef868802b3372b5fbad.jpeg) the detailed pixel art and art style of Replaced looks really cool to end Act 1, they’re doing Best Family Game How dare they do Family Game in the pre-show. (I get that the main show will probably have mature content, but still, this is still a pretty major category (for Nintendo lol) also WOO KIRBY WON YES GIMME MORE PLS ---

I get that they’re trying to legitimize video game acting by using a Hollywood name actor to present it but… but please why couldn’t they choose someone who actually plays games and knows about this stuff. Hooray for Christopher Judge as Kratos wooo big boy Hooray for Agent 47, waiting in the wings to steal this dope suit.

No one throws Kratos off the stage. No one! Dude’s laying out his heart. Good for the producers for not playing him off for a good while. Could’ve maybe been better rehearsed but cool to see such a long recognition in this tsunami of ads ---

This may be cringe, but damn I’m always blown away by the orchestra. This God of War song is pretty damn epic. Bear MacCreary has a good voice! [Next page](https://www.hitmanforum.com/t/the-general-awards-ceremony-thread/17289.md?page=2)
