Kinda Funny Games Showcase (Dec 8)

[Andy]

The Game Awards is the main event this week, but I wanted to let you know about this one, too, in case you hadn't heard. The games here will be "low key" compared to those at The Game Awards, but perhaps something interesting will come out of it.


Multiple Games Will Launch During the Kinda Funny Games Showcase This Weekend

... There will be over 60 games shown off during the event, with nearly half a dozen of them being released during the show, meaning that you’ll be able to purchase/play them on the same day.

The Kinda Funny Games Showcase came to be mostly because of the cancellation of PlayStation Experience this year, an event that catered to PlayStation fans that celebrated some of the low-key games that might not have had time to shine during E3 or The Game Awards prior.

The Kinda Funny Games Showcase is expected to have a run time of about one hour – give or take – and will feature appearances from these development studios (so far): Sega, Devolver Digital, Drinkbox Studios, and Bithell Games.

You’ll be able to watch the showcase live via Twitch on Saturday, Dec 8 at 10 a.m. PT.

Sounds like it might be geared more toward the Playstation? If so, I'm guessing Nervus wouldn't be interested.

Oh, that's entirely up to you. I don't have any preference.

I doubt I'll watch it myself. I have a hard time sitting through these sorts of presentations. I'll just scan for announcements that come out of it.

I don't know what's going on in Vane... but it looks awesome!

I don't know what's going on in Vane... but it looks awesome!

It does look pretty intriguing, doesn't it? I've been curious about it for a while. I'm glad it is finally coming out.

I'm not sure if I'll get it or not. Depends on if I'm in the mood for one of these games where a small, mute figure explores a giant, mysterious environment.

I need to see some gameplay in context before I can decide for sure...
