Industry the Game Awards 2024

[The Eye in the Sky!]

Split fiction looks fun!

 

[TD]

"Developed in Canada"

Immediately shows a snowy forest and a cabin.

I'm not sure if I've ever felt so stereotyped in one moment.

 

[VashTheStampede]

So many people have sparkly shoes

 

[TD]

Oh okay I was about to be like wtf this doesn't feel like Borderlands, then the music dropped and it cut to the Borderlands art design I love.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Clive from FFXVI in Tekken is INSPIRED

 

[TD]

LOL As soon as that music hit I knew this was XVI because I'm currently playing it.

Wait wtf did they just put CLIVE INTO TEKKEN?

That feels... really fucking random?

 

[TD]

Metaphor has been on my radar since it came out - really happy to see it win Art Direction, from what I've seen it deserves it.

 

[VashTheStampede]

LOL As soon as that music hit I knew this was XVI because I'm currently playing it.

Wait wtf did they just put CLIVE INTO TEKKEN?

That feels... really fucking random?

Nah, they always have a guest character these days, pretty sure Noctis was in a previous game.

My buddy who plays Tekken competitively said before the show he was expecting a guest character and when it was Clive his response was:

"FOIPUJHSDFGOPISHJDFGPIOUHBNSDPIONHUSIOFDJH"

So he's happy

 

[VashTheStampede]

I know the last thing we care about here are the actual awards but I feel like, for the first time, all the awards are going to the right games.

 

[The Eye in the Sky!]

I just loved hearing Metaphor win that award, the first thing that got me excited was the design of it.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Did NOT have Virtua Fighter on my Bingo card

 

[VashTheStampede]

Project Century by RGG is instantly one of my most anticipated games

That just looked SO. COOL.

 

[The Eye in the Sky!]

It does. I love the setting.

 

[TD]

I really, really want Astro Bot to clean up. We need those types of fun light-hearted games to be a staple again.

 

[TD]

TUROK WTF???

 

[Smacktard]

Sounds like there's been a lot of really cool reveals so far, but I think I'm most excited for these:

Is this like fucking sci-fi It Takes Two???

Also Fantasy It Takes Two

I'm guessing Witcher 4 and Elden Ring 2 were the "wowza" announcements? Lol @ Half-Life 3

 

[VashTheStampede]

Sounds like there's been a lot of really cool reveals so far, but I think I'm most excited for these:

They were the same game lol

I'm guessing Witcher 4 and Elden Ring 2 were the "wowza" announcements? Lol @ Half-Life 3

Elden Ring announcement was a multiplayer focused entry

 

[Spiner202]

Count me in for Turok. I played quite a bit of that growing up (in hindsight, it probably was not appropriate for me at that age).

Edit: TIL you can buy Turok on PS4 already.

 

[Smacktard]

They were the same game lol

Dang, that's sad, I was hoping for two couch co-ops

It Takes Two is still one of the best games I've ever played and I need more of it in my life

 

[TD]

Elden Ring announcement was a multiplayer focused entry

I've been thinking about this more and I'm trying to figure out what this even is - they even had characters and a boss from Dark Souls 3.

I'm wondering if it'll be like Elden Monster Hunter Ring.

 

[TD]

Dang, that's sad, I was hoping for two couch co-ops

It Takes Two is still one of the best games I've ever played and I need more of it in my life

It looks really good, though.

 

[VashTheStampede]

NGL there's a good chance Balatro is my personal GOTY

 

[VashTheStampede]

So every time there has been a game with "Japan" and "vaguely spooky" for the last 5-10 years I've guessed ONIMUSHA? and finally I've been right

 

[TD]

ONIMUSHA?
'scuse me?

 

[VashTheStampede]

I'm not a fan of new IPs kicking off with 100% cinematic trailers

 

[VashTheStampede]

Genshin Honkai Zone Zero 2

 

[The Eye in the Sky!]

Pretty catchy song though

 

[TD]

I'm not a fan of new IPs kicking off with 100% cinematic trailers

Assuming this was about Khazan? I think that was just the release date trailer, there's tons of actually gameplay footage out there already.

But I also agree with you.

 

[The Eye in the Sky!]

Metaphor again! Let's go!

 

[TD]

Oh wow Metaphor won out RPG.

 

[TD]

Call me petty but I'm happy Rebirth isn't winning awards.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Was hoping Kunitsu-Gami would win Best Strategy to get it some attention. Such a cool game

 

[VashTheStampede]

Assuming this was about Khazan? I think that was just the release date trailer, there's tons of actually gameplay footage out there already.

All the more reason to throw a little gameplay footage at us tonight

 

[VashTheStampede]

As someone who didn't watch Squid Game, everything related to Squid Game seems very forced

 

[TD]

Fucking Squid Game.

 

[Smacktard]

It looks really good, though.

Holy shit yeah, everything about this looks great. The hotdogs busted me up though

 

[VashTheStampede]

Hey @Smacktard another co-op game, this one from Ghost Town Games: Stage Fright

 

[TD]

Me: What is this?
Game of Thrones music drops.
Me: ...oh.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Game of Thrones theme still slaps

I'm intrigued in a Night's Watch game

 

[TD]

DOUBLE DRAGON WHAT YEAR AM I IN??

 

[VashTheStampede]

Double Dragon and Ninja Gaiden in 2025 lol

 

[Smacktard]

Elden Ring/Harry Potter connection detected:


Edit: well that's annoying. I linked the video to start at the final ten seconds of the video, but that didn't work. Basically it has the exact same jingle as the Harry Potter jingle

 

[TD]

This better not be a new NFS.

Edit: Okay well it's something called Streamer.

 

[TD]

Oh god the puns.

 

[TD]

I'm an avid Zenless player and have no idea who the fuck that singing girl was and the other girl at the beginning of the trailer?

 

[TD]

Snoop Dogg performing to commemorate a new album with Dr Dre. Seriously what year are we in?

EDIT: Oh, and now he's performing Gin and Juice. Clearly the theme tonight is going back in time.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Not a single fuckin dumbass in the crowd yelling out SIX IN THE MORNIN

 

[VashTheStampede]

Should have been Metaphor or Stellar Blade, not a Nobuo Uematsu remix album

 

[rktaker]

WHAT IN THE FUCK IS THIS PACMAN GAME

I NEED IT

apparently that's the pacman episode in the secret level show is about or something

 

[VashTheStampede]

I'm sure I don't have to tell most of you how ready I am for a new Mafia game
