I sidste weekend blev vi budt på et overflødighedshorn af gaming-underholdning. Først med The Game Awards og dernæst med PlayStation Experience. Kig forbi nyhedssiderne for weekend for alle de mamnge annonceringer.

På dette link kan du læse om begge shows. Her kan du også se The Game Awards i det fulde længde.

Showet vender ganske sikkert tilbage ifølge Polygon. Hele 1,93 millioner så nemlig med, og det er 75% flere end årets tidligere VGX-show. Produceren Geoff Keighley udtaler:

"I am absolutely stunned by the results. We didn't have any marketing budget or TV spots for the show. I'm used to having a lot of support resources - a promotional team, a digital media team, a PR team. All we had was the support of the game publishers and fans to spread the word and on social media."

Keighley fortalte også, hvorfor de bookede kendte som Kiefer Sutherland og Conan O'Brien:

"I always knew the show would get a better critical response from the community, but in many ways I was making a more serious show that risked not having as much mainstream appeal. That's why Kiefer Sutherland, Conan O'Brien, Trey Parker and Imagine Dragons were such important bookings. All of them truly love games and came to celebrate our medium."

Så du The Video Game Awards i fredags, og hvad syntes du om det?
