Zapp Branniglenn Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) The Game Awards 2018 airs Thursday, Dec. 6th at 9:00PM EST with a half hour pre-show before then. And the man himself, Geoff Keighley is boasting about more than 10 new games being announced and delivering updates on Twitter this week about presenters. Head to the website for the nominees and info on voting. But if you ask me, the awards are just a formality and the real treats are the great games we played this year, and will play next year. And of course new game reveals and trailers all vying to steal the show like it's E3. HOT Game announcements this year were: Far Cry: New Dawn Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 Scavengers Hades The Outer Worlds Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled The Last Campfire Sayonara: Wild Hearts Stranger Things Season 3 Game Dragon Age: The Dread Wolf Rises Mortal Kombat 11 And also Joker is the first (paid) DLC newcomer in Smash Ultimate. And this year's Game of the Year award went to God of War! Whoo! Edited December 7, 2018 by Glennstavos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Marth 64 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) Since they did showcased Bayonetta 3 from last year's Game Awards, I do think this year they should showcase Fire Emblem: Three Houses this year since it's coming in Spring. I doubt they would showcase any footages for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate in the Game Awards 2018 since it's coming soon, but I do think they could showcase some new DLCs for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Edited December 3, 2018 by King Marth 64 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Sounds like Koei Tecmo's deal is more Winning Post than anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tryhard Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) I'm surprised the game awards are actually somewhat exciting these days, at least for actually showing things even if I pretty much don't care a whit for the awards after that. it was horrible when it started. my wishful hoping is that obsidian would have some control over a fallout game again after the mess that just happened. I would also make some speculation about Baldur's Gate 3 as it holds most similarities with what they've recently been developing (Pillars of Eternity and Tyranny) but the teaser doesn't look anything like it.

Whoa, what a turn. For those who missed it, the original image was just a flame. I know of their old game Gallop Racer as the inspiration for the bizarre Busted Trifecta web series, but I'm surprised such a game would be introduced under flames and the text "The battle of destiny begins".

Etrurian emperor Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I'm expecting some Smash DLC news and maybe that Skyward Sword port that Nintendo denied existed recently. I hear a lot of hopes for Metroid Prime but considering Nintendo's history with that franchise I'd say any expectations for Metroid prime 4 would be overly optimistic. We might get a trilogy port to the switch though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lau Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 How long do the Game Awards normally last? I'm debating about watching it live, or just wait until the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sort of surprised it's not isometric due to recent experience. Edited December 7, 2018 by Tryhard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodHoms Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 As a big fan of Supergiant Games' other works, Hades is easily the most exciting announcement for me thus far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingle Jangle Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Mortal Kombat 11 with old and current Scorpion. More time travel shenanigans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiki Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) NANI?! Can we please have Persona 5 on the Switch? EDIT: No big announcements from Nintendo otherwise. Bummer, I would have loved to see any of their main titles like Zelda or Metroid. Edited December 7, 2018 by The Priest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabulously Olivier Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) So, between Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, Crash Team Racing, and the Outer Worlds, this has just been an incredible series of reveals for me, and Joker in Smash is just the perfect ending to the show for me.

Zapp Branniglenn Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 Sorry for the tardiness but I threw up links to all the game announcements in the OP. Had to step out and grab my copy of Smash and just caught up. It was a good show. The early sweep of several awards by Red Dead 2 had me worried since I already thought it was the prize horse for GOTY. But I was pleasantly surprised to see God of War take it. I still think Spider-Man is the best game of the nominees in terms of objective quality but God of War would have been my second pick. As for the reveals, wow, Ultimate Alliance 3. Who was even dreaming of that? Though perhaps the most bizarre detail is Switch exclusivity. This was not the Marvel game I thought would be revealed tonight lol. The Outer Worlds also looks like a game I will assuredly play. And Mortal Kombat 11's trailer was just excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
