Yea I could see this becoming the second "everyone" conference. Would be great as that final push and reveals for games coming out early the next year especially.
The real question is viewership.
Viewership for the Game Awards in 2016 was up 65% over 2015. If we keep seeing numbers go up, publishers will take it more and more seriously in terms of game announcements/reveals.
I just googled it and as of right now, no word on how many people saw last weeks awards.
I hope they show another video of Dreams next year!Wow. Next year's going to have even better reveals. That's insane viewership.
I hope they show another video of Dreams next year!
f*** that! The game looks as ugly as a hat full of arseholes!Lol, I think you'll be able to play it this time next year.

The cutscenes though, they're like an orgie of unicorns set to a choir of Mary Kate Olsen's best tweets.
She's ascended to a higher place... Just like Oprah...She’s still a thing/exist?
Honestly, it's all so objective, I only care if there are new announcements...
Last year was off the hook.Honestly, it's all so objective, I only care if there are new announcements...
The industry certainly favors quantity of awards over the awards actual quality.Yup. The nominees are announced Tuesday. It's hard to care much about who wins (we know it'll be RDR2 anyhow), when there are 100 other year-end awards, given out by every other gaming site. Sometimes I have a personal favorite to root for, but I don't really have one this year.
It'll be the announcements that matter to me. Re. that, Keighley did qualify that some/many of them will not be game announcements, but announcements of DLC to existing games.
Anyhow, with no conferences going on, this will take its place. Some new stuff to look forward to.
