Geoff Keighley Shares "Hype Trailer" For The Game Awards 2020

I'll watch the Nintendo reveals next day. I'm not really one for all the hype and back slapping.

What I'm hoping for is Mario Odyssey 2 and a Smash character.

What we'll get is Samus in Fortnite lol.

Last year, Nintendo announced that they had games. I wonder what they're announcing this year?

Geoff’s so keen I kinda like him. He’s hilariously bland but I like Ready Salted crisps.

I'm always excited for new game announcements.

There was some good thing from Nintendo a few years ago there but last year tons of hype and nothing really shown off. I’m setting the bar exceedingly low for this by saying that there’s going to be nothing announced so I won’t be let down by the hype.

This trailer shows immediately why Animal Crossing is such a massive succes.

It just stands out to 99% of the other games. It’s something unique!

Whole new audience introduced to gaming.

@NGNYS I dunno, despite Covid we’ve had FF7R, TLOU2, GoT, Cyberpunk and the next-gen launches. It’s only really Nintendo who’ve not brought out all the stops, as much as I like Animal Crossing.

Not hyped. I like Animal Crossing, its great. Ghost of Tsushima was good too. (I think 3D Allstars was amazing but I don't count that one as it is just ports) I don't care for the celebrities, and I find it unlikely the new announcements will interest me... (My favorite new game in 2020 was the expanded Switch release of Lover kiss. And probally the PC game Dohna Dohna.)

Please.
Metroid.

I'm not even hyped enough to watch the trailer. I'll just be watching the reveals afterwards. No needs to waste 3 hours watching fluff, celebs and youtubers acting like morons when all I want is likely going to add up to 15min of reveal footage.

Love sitting down with a few beverages and tuning it. Super excited.

Say what you will, but this dude gives his all to bring a little recognition to the industry and all the hard work people put into it.

The music sounded so sad... was that supposed to get me hyped?

The overhyped trailer festival, not going to watch it. It's categories are laughable, and on top of that, the awards take a third spot alongside all the "reveals", which will end up being related to Vin Diesel.

I don't think the industry needs this sort of event, honestly. I wouldn't watch the Oscars or whatever either, though. Make a good product and I'll probably buy it.

So I won't be tuning in. If there's new Nintendo games then that'd be nice, but no real need to watch their show for it. I'm sure they'll be on YouTube too. Oh, and here on NL, lol.

Animal Crossing looks so out of place when compared to the graphics of all of those triple A games, it's glorious.

Each year Nintendo have two different announcements. Perhaps a 2D Metroid could appear this year? I know at least that would hype me I like to think positively even if not everything happens like I wish for.

Not gonna lie, each year I forget that these Awards are a thing and each year I wonder why, and then I tune in for a moment only to recall ... why I keep forgetting and wondering Srsly, last time, what I saw was atrocious. To say it was about games and their creators and the community would be a bald-faced lie.

Lol why is everyone so negative?? I honestly go in expecting no announcements that interest me but it’s still interesting for me personally to see which games win which categories, and I really like when they bring out the orchestra for the game of the year nominees. I mean it’s a just a fun event celebrating the great games that came out, perfectly harmless and I for one look forward to tuning in!

This event has got to be pretty close to the top of the list of the ultimate "cringefest". No matter how hard they try to make it seem like this massive Oscars show or whatever event it's so darn awkward to watch. You've never seen a more disinterested, bored and yawning audience in a room. I believe its a race between this and the MTV VMA show as the worst in my opinion. And that's a race I wouldn't want to win.

I'm never "hyped" for this event, but I still always end up watching it. I don't care about the awards but it's fun to see what game announcements come out. The "who knows what could be shown" is the feeling that keeps me watching.

@Steel76 I'm hoping FFVIIR wins big, such a great game.

I like these award shows because they usually highlight games I've missed. Ones that come to mind in recent years(What Remains of Edith Finch, Disco Elysium and Hellblade.)

@Steel76 I fully agree. The show this year feels like it's becoming much too similar to their movie awards counterparts:
Celebrities very few really care about, long stretches of boredom while we wait for the stuff we want to see, and something VERY few people actually liked or cared about winning big

@Munchlax

If anything, I hope for Age of Calamity DLC and a Smash character announcement.

This comment section is so negative, Just sit back relax and watch the game awards it's gonna be awesome..

the only thing I want from Nintendo is news about BOTW sequel. Hope we get a trailer or something in the GA

Why was Jedi Fallen order in the trailer? That was 2019. Maybe a sequel is being revealed?

Half-Life: Alyx got utterly robbed, presuming this is the awards where it didn't even get a game of the year nomination option.

Trailer was a bit....dour, don't you think?

I get it was trying to go for the 'epic' tone, but it hardly screamed 'celebration of the best games of the year' at me

@nessisonett

I think you're forgetting that Geoff is literally Mr Doritos. Google it!

At best, this is a competition for which games lucky enough to be nominated were played by the most people among the biased, corporate gaming media...

At worst, it's a 3 hour corporate campaign with paid commercials in between sponsored commercials, with Hollywood ideologues praising and stroking the egos of whoever crammed the most social justice propaganda into their video games...

Think I'll just catch any highlights of relevant announcements the day after.

Hopefully Nintendo breaks the silence next week, would prefer a full general Direct followed by some teases at the Game Awards but a big presence at the Game Awards would still work well. Just please none of this "Nintendo Switch has games" nonsense they pulled last year to distract from the reality the upcoming lineup was very rough (which it's currently very rough for 2021).

I only play on Nintendo platforms so the game awards have never appealed to me much. Plus they always air it on a Thursday, a work night for me, and I'm not staying up to watch a drawn out show that barely interests me in the first place. If there are any Nintendo announcements, I'm happy to catch them on here or Twitter the day after.

Shang Tsung: No one can predict what happens next.

If Bayonetta 3 doesn't make an appearance, then I reckon it'll never release

I am expecting an lot of dlc announcements this year, and unlike last year I won't be watching it live since I got work

@Dezzy No it was one of the categories I can’t remember which though. I think it came out too late in 2019 to be counted for last years awards or something?

Nintendo Switch Lite Has Games

Here's hoping Nintendo does at least one thing interesting this year. TGA 2019 was the start of what everyone called the "Nintendo Direct drought" and I think no one wants to go through that again.

@GrailUK Sadly you're not wrong. But I hope we get some news on Breath of the Wild 2, Metroid Prime 4, and a Smash reveal.

LET ME DREAM

What was Ronald Reagan doing in this trailer? And why was it so down lifting?

Get ready for Last of Us 2 to win GoTY, even though it's a pretty generic 3rd person action game, with a story that most of its fanbase seems to dislike
