The awards themselves are mostly unimportant, but they tend to have announcements at the show, such as showing Zelda Wii U last year.
This year, it was already leaked that that the next Mortal Kombat DLC will have Bo Rai Cho, Leatherface, a Cyborg that is the originals combined into one, and they added the Xenomorph, but with the twist, that he was born from the Baraka race, so he has blade arms.
Baba Yaga story DLC for Tomb Raider. Looks like a lot of mind altering type of stuff. Makes me glad that when the game leaves Xbox, we'll be getting the better, more complete version lol Looks cool though and it's supposed to be hours of new content.
Wow, kinda surprising, but Splatoon won best multiplayer over COD, Halo, Rocket League, and Destiny lol I need to go and play this more since they've released new maps.
New Uncharted 4 footage, but just a tease. Looks pretty fun.
Witcher 3 is half-off on GOG right now. Perhaps other platforms? I might've missed that.
Shaq-Fu is getting shown off Wasn't the original game a fighter? Maybe I'm remembering wrong, but this is definitely a brawler.
New eSports tv show on TBS called E-League. Guess it's more of a documentary style setup, following groups around big tournaments?
Okay, interesting...Batman by Telltale. This could be cool if they take this one to advance their usual works.
Far Cry Primal footage. You apparently get to control beasts like Sabertooth tigers, wolfs, and bears. That's a pretty sick way to replace guns in this game lol Out February 31st and apparently March 1st on PC. More interested in the game now.
-Brand new Psychonauts game just confirmed. Crowdfunded on something called Fig that apparently is like investing in stock for the game rather than just the usual Kickstarter setup. 3.3 million dollar goal.
-Not directly connected with the Game Awards, but apparently as Dark Cloud was announced to be up-rezzed for the PS4, it also confirms that there will be NO PS2 disc use on the system.
-Rock Band VR lol Oculus Rift support.
-Glad to see that Ori and the Blind Forest won for best art direction. It's a very beautiful game.
-Kind of a bittersweet Icon award for Westwood Studios I feel, with how the company died off and so did Command & Conquer.
-New Walking Dead Telltale Game starring Michonne. Kinda cool to see I think. Will be cool to get more backstory for Michonne.
-Not a single bit of new information from Nintendo. Kinda disappointed with that. Thought they might have something new to show off.
-Deadmaus also confirms after his DOTA 2 appearance, is that he's boring as all hell. I don't care if he works some videogame aspects into this one, he's boring and awful in every way and should no longer be associated with the gaming industry lol
