I just popped in, Tekken 8 seems to have won something. Now they're showing a game that lets you pack your car for a trip.

EDIT 1: One trailer, one award, waiting for Half-Life 7.

Never been so back before lmao
I definitely spotted some reused content/bosses in there, but it's still insane that they churned it out this quickly. Some of those ashes of war and movement abilities look amazing.

get out of here


BTW, right now, on youtube chat, I'd say that 80% of comments are "half life 3 when?" or "GTA 6 when?" type of comments

nah, I think cdpr is still fine, they are still able to make something like phantom liberty
Some people don't understand what "woke" actually means, and putting a female character as the lead (a female character that was already present in the franchise) is NOT woke.

I doubt there's ever going to be a Half Life 3. This long-running joke has been around for decades, Half Life VR is probably the last that we're going to get out of the series. However, they did for their 20th anniversary of Half Life 2 improved a lot of the less detailed graphics and included behind-the-scenes artwork for the game's development. It's probably the best game out of the bunch.

This feels pretty lame so far. I'm not enjoying the current line up.

The first major reveal is from CD Projekt Red. The Witcher IV has gotten its first cinematic trailer. Ciri is the protagonist.
I know Geralt was never going to be the lead in Witcher 4, but...ugh, really? Ciri? I never played much of TW3, but I've never been able to stand Ciri as a character. Should've just kept her old man as the protag, IMHO.

Best action game: Black Myth Wukong.
Ooh, hey, this game actually won something at TGA! That's surprising, considering how heavily-attacked it was by the very journalist sites running this show.
