The Game Awards 2024: Date, Time - How And When To Watch

Ah yeah! Love the Game Awards. Mostly for the trailers but theres a lot of games I hope get some recognition this year.

Eugh! I'll pass.

I don't really care about their opinions, but Paper Mario TTYD deserves GOTY this year! (a remake was nominated last year, why not this year?) I hope that TTYD, Mario Party, and Mario & Luigi are all in the running, and perhaps nominated for other things too.

I'm not too interested in announcements since it's mostly just ads for F2P shooter games

Also isn't the main guy behind this the one defending the PS5 pro?

I already have my own GOTY 2024.
Yes, it's Barbie: Project Friendship PS5 as my GOTY 2024 so I don't even need to watch any Game Award.

Ugh another game awards 😒 man these types of events used to mean something special but now it's just chocked full of game trailers about games that literally nobody cares about and the lack of proper indie game support is absolutely criminal.

Also on a side note didn't this guy get into like some serious controversies during the most recent game awards 🤔????

The game awards feels like the era long gone, oscar and hollywood is kind of suck now so an award show that just like oscar just feels like, meh.

I do want to know how much award will dragon age veilguard will get though 😂

Talking of anniversaries... today is Metroid Prime 2's anniversary. Any chance of a shadow drop?

Geoff's face ... again?!
And no true recognition for the devs ... again?!

No thank you. I'll scroll through the results the day after.

You couldn't even convince me to watch the Game Awards by Geoff Keighly even if you put me on a plank above shark-infested waters. Oh there are rumors that Silksong might make an appearance? The answer is still NO!!!

I enjoy just watching the event. There are definitely things that I would change about the show, but I still enjoy watching it every year, for what it is. Its nice to see video games and their creators celebrated. Just really wish it was more about them than the ads/trailers. Sadly, this isn't really the mindset for most fans.

How to watch the Game Awards.

With little expectation.

Always love tuning in to root for my favorite games! …and “world premiere’s”. It’s just fun to treat the gaming world like Hollywood.

Only watching to see how they (poorly) handle speeches this time.

I actually like Geoff, though I do think his award show leaves quite a bit to be desired.

He’s a bro with a heart of gold, who is using his familial wealth to push the mediums mainstream recognition. I think also that he is capable of taking criticism to heart, and that we will see speeches given more time to breath this year (big criticism of 2023 - but I think was itself a reaction to 2022)

It is a fun night; it has potential, it should be digested by game-likers with the same attitude that film/music/theater fans watch their shows (skeptically, but warm with appreciation for the craft)

Now to speculate!!!!

Honestly those Game Awards are extremely overrated, even more so than E3 was. Extremely commercial and dissapointing every time.

@PikminMarioKirby Nah, Paper Mario shouldn't been nominated to Goty. There is a difference between a remake that is a reimagination of the original game(Resident evil 2, Resident evil 4 and Final fantasy 7) and a remake that is closer to being a remaster(Paper Mario TTYD).

As long as there is hope for Silksong to be announced, I'll be watching. For me, this has become an annual tradition of disappointment, and I wouldn't miss it.

I also look forward to seeing Josef Farez hopefully announce his next project. That guy is wild, but It Takes Two made me a believer.

Then there is the fun of anticipating Geoff Keighley losing his cool when something doesn't go according to plan.

"Geoff Keighley has announced that nominees for The Game Awards 2024 will be revealed on Monday, 18th November 2024 at 9am PT / 12pm ET / 5pm BST / 6pm CEST."

Awwww man, it looks like STALKER 2 won't make the cut to the award ceremony.

Everyone should just do what I did: Ignore the Awards and play old video games. This year I'm thinking of playing some Famicom titles. Anyone know any good ones?

I think I'm washing my hair that night.

Yeah I'll be sleeping when it's on. Far more important than Geoff and friends patting each other's backs

At the risk of sounding like Anti-Matter, here is my comment:

The Game Awards 2024: How and When to Watch? Don’t.

Question: Will you be watching the Game Awards? Answer: No.

( of course I feel like Anti-Matter would probably watch it if there were kids games in it. You do you man.)

@N00BiSH
Played the rescue Rangers 1 and especially 2?
Those games are awesome!

Why is it always Thursday with these things?!
I can't go work 8 hours with 2 hij puts of sleep! 😂😂

And if anyone wants a stream rec. Superbutterbuns is hilarious!
(And you should check out her "for beginners series")

Potential Bayonetta 4 teaser trailer? I´m in.

@Olliemar28 It would be splendid. Although I think it's unlikely now, given the time.

Looking forward to reading the article.

I low-key lost respect for The Game Awards after they disrespected Eiji Aonuma last year. 😕

@RupeeClock Real.
When I watched it last year it felt like a joke. They rushed the dev's speech's and let actors like Anthony Mackie yell at us for five like minutes 😭💀

@N00BiSH I haven't played it yet, but I've heard great things about Gimmick! and think I'll pick up the special edition release of it on Switch.

I say it every year but these awards would actually be (slightly more) watchable if they hired a professional guest presenter. Geoff is the business side of things and has zero charisma or on stage presence. It’s like if the Oscars were presented by a Committee Chairman or the Emmys presented by the Treasurer.

I might put it on the side or something, see if there's a fun trailer or worthwhile giveaway, but I definitely won't be giving my full attention to this - especially not for multiple hours.

Ah, the cesspool, “notice me Kojima senpai” show that is The VGA.
So which super popular game are they going to shun this year? My guess is Black Myth Wukong.
And I’m sure DA:V will get the “Stunning & Brave award”.

No thanks. Geoff definitely have the enthusiasm, but the show is just so bad, really childish and cringe entertainment, one politically charged ad after the other, speeches that sound like pure PR vomit. No thanks. Will wait the day after for the trailers.

@N00BiSH
I played Amiibo Festival Wii U, Barbie Project Friendship PS5 to ignore the game award.

"Your Local Time: " What a technical flex, kudos to the page devs.
EDIT:
Except: "Your Local Time: 2am, Thu 12th Dec 2024 hora estándar de Europa central" has a little problem, in Europe it should say "Fri 13th". So it's not working so well for me in Spain.

I have a feeling this might be the worst game awards for various of reasons if true. But let's wait and see.

Probably going to somewhat enjoy watching it though, if I remember.

I've seen it enough to know that they won't talk about my favorite games, and instead focus on cinematic trailers with no gameplay shown, lots of gritty realistic environments, voice acting, pores, sweat, dramatic yelling, guns, etc. I'd watch if they gave the same amount of screen time to indies, but they won't because it's more about getting ad revenue from game companies than it is showing what's good, and indies can't afford to advertise on the show like the big AAAs can.

US of A Game Comercials awardzzzzzz 2024®.

Thanks, but no one outside USofA cares about this and the media should stop to try make this the "official" game of the year award.

No one gonna talk about the fact Geoff Keighley is trying the patent the words “The Game Awards”? Screw that!

I have to say that the game awards has been feeling recently more like a pseudo-direct with the abundance of trailers and less than 25% of the whole show is dedicated to the awards itself. Besides, I have to agree that Genshin Impact being nominated almost every time feels bad, specially as its like Just Dance winning every year in the KCA as also the controversy surrounding its parent company. I wanna see more diversity within the nominations as Nintendo has been almost left out when in recent years they have released amazing games worth to compete against AAA games. Either this year TGA give us a great ceremony with deserving winners or I would play Superman 64 and try to beat the game.

Yep, feels like 90% glitz and glamour, 10% games and gongs.
I'll pass thanks.
