I don’t know what I anticipate from Geoff Keighley at this level. Yearly, I start The Sport Awards realizing precisely what they’re, they usually ship on that promise. That means, they’re a trailer-and-cameo present. However in some way, one thing at all times occurs that catches me off-guard. This 12 months, it was the looks of Al Pacino, of all individuals, to current the efficiency award; the genuinely satisfying Animal cameo (and his back-and-forth with Bear McCreary, who appeared really comfortable to see him); and at last a random child who crashed Hidetaka Miyazaki’s acceptance speech. It was a bizarre evening throughout.
Total, I’m happy, if unsurprised with how the evening went. I’m happy Christopher Decide gained the efficiency award, although I used to be pulling a bit for Sunny Suljic (as was Decide himself, I’m certain). And I’m glad that Bayonetta 3 gained Finest Motion sport. However let’s speak trailers — and talking of Bayonetta, I used to be not anticipating a brand new sport within the sequence so quickly, not to mention an artsy puzzle platformer. However now I would like it and should have it. I’m nearly as excited for Hades 2, on condition that I’ve been telling everybody who would pay attention about Hades and Persephone’s different kids and now we’re seeing no less than one.
In non-Sport Awards information, the Federal Commerce Fee has gotten concerned within the Microsoft-Activision acquisition. The FTC is suing to dam the acquisition on antitrust grounds. I’d warning anybody in opposition to immediately taking Microsoft’s facet right here. To this point, the key arguments in opposition to the acquisition have been from Sony, and people have been — to place it gently — considerably farcical and self-serving. However simply because Sony’s arguments have been less-than-compelling doesn’t imply that the FTC has no grounds. I’m curious to see how this performs out.
As for what video games I’m enjoying … I’ll be sincere, all of the video games I wished to play have now launched for this 12 months. So from now till 2023’s large launch, I’m enjoying catch up. I believe I’ll lastly play some titles I’ve not but tried, akin to Dying Mild 2 and Splatoon 3. So lots of the video games are on Sport Go that I’ve quite a lot of work nonetheless to do.
