But that’s the thing about The Game Awards – it’s the only award show we have. While it has it’s many flaws, there’s a germ of a great idea there. Celebrating great games, and the people who make and play them, what’s wrong with t
Formerly hosted by Spike as The Spike Video Game Awards, Keighley went on to produce his own independent award ceremony. Each year since its inception in 2014, a slew of games from that year have been nominated for various categories, ranging from Best Shooter or Best Mobile Game, to the more coveted Developer of the Year, and of course Game of the Year. The games are selected by a secret panel of some sort, with the winners being at least partially voted on by the pub
The Game Awards 2017 will have more premieres and reveals than ever before! Keighley revealed on Twitter that viewers can expect around 15 premieres at The Game Awards 2017 that cover a variety of thing. Some will be all-new game announcements and some will be premiers of new gameplay/features/DLC, including the much-anticipated desert map Miramar coming soon to PlayerUnknown’s Battlegroun
Ascent: Infinite Realm’s site also lists the character classes that the game will offer: Sorceress, mystic, warlord, assassin, and gunslinger. They appear to fit into traditional RPG archetypes of mage, healer, warrior, thief/rogue, and hunter/marksman, respectively. Given how unconventional the rest of the game seems to be, it’s a bit surprising to see rather conventional options in the character creation department. Perhaps the future reveal of subclasses (each class will have two of them) will deepen and diversify gameplay opti
Host and longtime video game journalist Geoff Keighley has outdone himself again for the The Game Awards 2017, a live event that promises to be bigger than any game awards program before it. And you can watch it all online, easily, and for free! 102 games and individuals have been nominated for this year’s awards, and some categories are voted on by YOU, the ga
“You probably won’t believe me when I say this but whenever I go online and I hear other players use the same kind of language I did, I always find it extremely immature and stupid. And I hate how I now personally fed into that part of gaming as well. It was something I said in the heat of the moment. I said the worst word I could possibly think of. And it just sort of slipped out. I’m not going to make any excuses as to why it did because there are no excuses for it. I’m disappointed in myself because it seems like I’ve learned nothing from all these past controversies. And it’s not that I think I can say or do whatever I want and get away with it. That’s not it at all. I’m just an idi
Ascent: Infinite Realm will be published by Kakao Games, publisher of Black Desert Online , another MMORPG. Bluehole has yet to announce a release date, but signs point to a closed beta beginning in the first half of 2018. And given PUBG’s extended period of early-access (and how well it has worked out for the game), there’s reason to believe that Bluehole will take its time with formally launching **Ascent: Infinite Realm ** . The game will be shown off at the upcoming G-Star 2017 trade show in Busan, South Korea, which is set to take place from November 16 – 19. Expect more information t
Popular YouTube personality PewDiePie recently found himself embroiled in another wave of controversy after he dropped a racial slur during a livestream of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds , resulting in a considerable amount of backlash. In response to the incident, the YouTuber has released a new video on his chan
It’s impossible to shake the feeling that they’re just one big advertisement, for both upcoming video games and other products. Sponsorships galore throughout the presentation, and trailers for upcoming games blare between almost every award. Imagine if the Oscars ran trailers for films coming in the next year, no one would take them seriou
As has been the case every year with The Game Awards, there’s been plenty of dissent and mocking on various social media platforms. Kurt Margenau, developer at Naughty Dog and co-direction on Uncharted: The Lost Legacy (which itself is up for three awards) took to Twitter to lament the need for the Most Anticipated Game category, specifically The Last of Us Part II ’s nomination. Others have complained about certain games not getting a nomination, such as Yakuza 0, which has been shut out of the Awards complet
The Game Awards 2017 can be viewed live on your phone, TV, or computer. The Game Awards is one of the widest distributed digital events on the planet – filmed in 4K UHD resolution and watchable for free across all major digital, gaming and social platforms. Featuring loads of world premieres and celebrity guests, this isn’t something you’ll want to m
Bluehole seems to have an especially broad demographic in mind with Ascent: Infinite Realm . The trailer practically shouts that there’s something here for everyone: Dragons to hunt, flying aircrafts to pilot (and destroy), properties and communities to build, and more. It’ll be up to Bluehole, though, to ensure that it doesn’t spread itself too thin; that each element is sufficiently fleshed-out to warrant the repeated revisiting that maintains successful online games. Lightning struck once with pubg Beginner Guide — it remains to be seen whether it’ll strike ag
