Blog by Martin Robinson Editor-in-chief Updated on 13 Dec 2019 968 comments Thank the heavens. It is over. Our live coverage of this event has finished. Coverage 17:20 pm UTC MrTomFTW: 1:30am? I pity the poor fool who is staying up to cover this. Oh hi Martin. *sadface* – Martin Robinson 17:21 pm UTC God it's not even 1.30am and I'm still making a mess of this. – Martin Robinson 17:22 pm UTC Anyway hi, hello and how do you do. I'm just about to go out for some drinks before I head back for tonight's shenanigans. – Martin Robinson 17:22 pm UTC I'd like to say it'll be the first ever drunken live report here on Eurogamer. – Martin Robinson 17:22 pm UTC Though *ahem* that might not strictly be true. – Martin Robinson 17:23 pm UTC teknoblade3442: I'd rather pull this all- nighter than the other one if what is going to happen will happen I honestly don't know which will be the grimmer of the two. – Martin Robinson 17:25 pm UTC Oridan: How long is this show? Too long. – Martin Robinson 17:25 pm UTC I think typically it comes in at around two hours though. I'm bracing myself for that. – Martin Robinson 17:28 pm UTC nimzy: Surely we're eventually going to get a name a bit more interesting than "the Game Awards" for this show. Do they have a name for the trophy yet? They're called Geoffs. – Martin Robinson 17:28 pm UTC I do think The Geoffs would be a better name for the show as well. – Martin Robinson 17:29 pm UTC Anyway, I'm heading off into Croydon for a night out. I know how to party, me. – Martin Robinson 17:29 pm UTC Have fun and see you all back here later tonight! – Martin Robinson 23:40 pm UTC Oh dear god no. – Martin Robinson 23:45 pm UTC Anyway, hi and hello. The pre-show begins at 1am. Which is when the show starts as well? Either way I'll be with you then. – Martin Robinson 01:21 am UTC dogmanstar_: /pokes Martin *pokes back* – Martin Robinson 01:21 am UTC But like, twice as hard. – Martin Robinson 01:22 am UTC Anyway sorry I was having a bit of a cry. – Martin Robinson 01:22 am UTC Actually I've just counted and I think there's five of us here? – Martin Robinson 01:23 am UTC I thought there was, but then there wasn't. Unless the pre-show is at 1.30am and the show is at 2am. – Martin Robinson 01:24 am UTC It is genuinely lovely to see you all here. – Martin Robinson 01:24 am UTC So what to expect? – Martin Robinson 01:24 am UTC Video game announcements, pointless awards and frequent bouts of existential dread as it becomes impossible to block out the horror show of the outside world. – Martin Robinson 01:25 am UTC Video games though! – Martin Robinson 01:25 am UTC There should be some PS5-ish announcements, a look at Ghosts of Tsushima, something Nintendo-related - maybe Metroid Prime Trilogy's time to finally be unveiled - and plenty more besides. – Martin Robinson 01:26 am UTC In between the interesting stuff there will be plenty of cringe - which, if I'm honest, is what I'm really here for. – Martin Robinson 01:26 am UTC INSOMANiAC: I still call them computer games. Video games is a bit too American for me. I call them 'art'. – Martin Robinson 01:27 am UTC MORE IMPORTANTLY. – Martin Robinson 01:27 am UTC Who's drinking what? – Martin Robinson 01:27 am UTC I am on a pot of coffee, but I have whiskey and maybe something even stronger waiting in the wings. – Martin Robinson 01:27 am UTC Kami: Dr Pepper Zero. Hardcore. – Martin Robinson 01:27 am UTC INSOMANiAC: I'm liking that martin has rolled up late to his own party and is now trying to shoehorn some kind of game chat into this shitshow so when his boss reads this clusterfuck in the morning he may only get a final written warning, don't worry, we've got your back. I want another Frogger remake, this time in 4D I've been rumbled. – Martin Robinson 01:28 am UTC Can everyone just pretend I was totally here all along and definitely not napping on my sofa? – Martin Robinson 01:30 am UTC Kami: To be honest, I get the feeling whatever your poison the hangover tomorrow will be very real. Too true. – Martin Robinson 01:30 am UTC I make it half past. – Martin Robinson 01:30 am UTC Let's do this. – Martin Robinson 01:30 am UTC Or let's wait a tiny bit longer. – Martin Robinson 01:31 am UTC Okay maybe wait a tiny bit longer. – Martin Robinson 01:31 am UTC Look, Geoff. Mate. – Martin Robinson 01:31 am UTC M8. – Martin Robinson 01:31 am UTC m8ight. – Martin Robinson 01:32 am UTC It's 1.30am over here. – Martin Robinson 01:32 am UTC Make that 1.31am. – Martin Robinson 01:32 am UTC We just want to go to bed. It's been a rough night. – Martin Robinson 01:32 am UTC Get. On. With. It. – Martin Robinson 01:32 am UTC All we're getting is the sound of incessant drums. – Martin Robinson 01:33 am UTC Is it Geoff on the drums? – Martin Robinson 01:33 am UTC dogmanstar_: Did you have a nice night out Martin? I did! Until roughly around 10pm. Then it got awful. – Martin Robinson 01:34 am UTC Splosh: They're drawing straws on which dev does the coked up presentation. Funnily enough those same straws might come in handy to do a line or two. – Martin Robinson 01:34 am UTC Got to think about these things in a cashless world - no more £20 notes knocking around to roll up. – Martin Robinson 01:35 am UTC One minute to go. – Martin Robinson 01:36 am UTC Sixty seconds! – Martin Robinson 01:36 am UTC And here we go. – Martin Robinson 01:37 am UTC Splosh: Martin, are you secretly hoping for an Arms 2 reveal. Always. – Martin Robinson 01:37 am UTC INSOMANiAC: I once snorted two grams of whizz off a spinning Jive Bunny record. I'd like to see kids today do that with their bloody Mp3's Hero. – Martin Robinson 01:37 am UTC Oh. So this is the pre-show. – Martin Robinson 01:37 am UTC No offence Geoff. – Martin Robinson 01:37 am UTC But fucking do one? – Martin Robinson 01:38 am UTC The pre-show starts when the show starts at 1.30am. – Martin Robinson 01:38 am UTC Matthew_Hornet: Apparently our award for waiting is Green Day. OK great. Great. – Martin Robinson 01:39 am UTC Here's an award anyway - Destiny 2 wins best community support, and Luke Smith makes a rare appearance. – Martin Robinson 01:39 am UTC Lol – Martin Robinson 01:40 am UTC Here's what we're all here for though. TRAILERS. – Martin Robinson 01:40 am UTC TRAILERS FOR DLC TO SECOND TIER SWITCH GAMES WE'D ALREADY FORGOTTEN ABOUT. – Martin Robinson 01:40 am UTC Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 is getting a danger room, which sounds kind of kinky. – Martin Robinson 01:41 am UTC That DLC also brings Gambit, Cable, Iceman and Phoenix to Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3. – Martin Robinson 01:43 am UTC And here's Lual Mayen with his game showing us the experience of a refugee. A worthwhile moment there. – Martin Robinson 01:43 am UTC Best score next - Cadence of Hyrule, Death Stranding, DMC5, Kingdom Hearts 3 and Sayonara Wild Hearts are nominated. – Martin Robinson 01:43 am UTC And if it's not Sayonara Wild Hearts. – Martin Robinson 01:44 am UTC Ah of course it isn't, because Geoff's mate Koj was nominated - Death Stranding wins. – Martin Robinson 01:44 am UTC What a surprise. – Martin Robinson 01:45 am UTC Splosh: Well, guess who got the coke then... Would dearly love some right now to keep me awake. – Martin Robinson 01:45 am UTC Anyway, here's Manhunter. It's got sharks. – Martin Robinson 01:45 am UTC It looks a bit like that Dreamcast Jaws game. But maybe not as shit. – Martin Robinson 01:46 am UTC A quick blast through some esports awards because they know full well no-one gives a toss. – Martin Robinson 01:46 am UTC But still people in the crowd scream. – Martin Robinson 01:48 am UTC Meanwhile we're obsessing over the nubbin on the shoulder of host Sydnee Goodman's fine green dress. – Martin Robinson 01:49 am UTC My personal theory is that it's a sock that got caught up in the dress and lodged itself there. – Martin Robinson 01:49 am UTC BEST TWEET OF THE YEAR PEOPLE. – Martin Robinson 01:50 am UTC Pretty sure I'm in with a shout for this one. – Martin Robinson 01:50 am UTC Ah shit I just remembered all I ever do on Twitter is retweet Addlestone Jeff, the boss of Wimpy Addlestone. – Martin Robinson 01:50 am UTC Still, I *could* be in with a shot. – Martin Robinson 01:51 am UTC I sort of dozed and are they talking about Spore? – Martin Robinson 01:52 am UTC This is the new game from Amplitude and Sega, and it's a 4X strategy inspired by the Bayeux tapestry. – Martin Robinson 01:52 am UTC Did I spell that right? I think I did. – Martin Robinson 01:53 am UTC That was Humankind. And this is another reveal. – Martin Robinson 01:53 am UTC It is... – Martin Robinson 01:53 am UTC A Switch game. – Martin Robinson 01:54 am UTC That looks like an 80s cartoon. – Martin Robinson 01:54 am UTC And it is... – Martin Robinson 01:54 am UTC Nope I've got no idea, – Martin Robinson 01:54 am UTC It's No More Heroes 3. – Martin Robinson 01:55 am UTC Coming in 2020. – Martin Robinson 01:55 am UTC I would be excited, but I played Travis Strikes Back so I'm very much not. – Martin Robinson 01:55 am UTC A new Final Fantasy 7 trailer is next. – Martin Robinson 01:56 am UTC And for all my grumbling this pre-show has delivered some nice surprises. – Martin Robinson 01:56 am UTC (Also *shhh* I've never played FF7 so I can't really say much to this trailer other than it looks very nice). – Martin Robinson 01:57 am UTC One final award before the main show - it's best beat 'em up! – Martin Robinson 01:58 am UTC And the winner is... ARMS! – Martin Robinson 01:58 am UTC (nah it's Smash Bros). – Martin Robinson 01:58 am UTC Bruce Willis has come to take the award. – Martin Robinson 01:58 am UTC Oh no wait it's Doug Bowser. – Martin Robinson 01:59 am UTC Eugh. – Martin Robinson 02:00 am UTC And the show proper begins. – Martin Robinson 02:01 am UTC I think - and I could be wrong as I'm well old and haven't listened to any music made after 1974 - that this is Chvrches. – Martin Robinson 02:02 am UTC This does have a mega Eurovision vibe. Not sure whether that's a good thing or not though. – Martin Robinson 02:02 am UTC It is, of course, from Death Stranding. – Martin Robinson 02:03 am UTC Their music's normally better than this, right? It's a bit of a bland ballad. – Martin Robinson 02:03 am UTC Still, if it's good enough for Koj. – Martin Robinson 02:04 am UTC That was Chvrches. This is video games. – Martin Robinson 02:05 am UTC And here, after a brief montage (that's heavy on Death Stranding) is Geoff. – Martin Robinson 02:05 am UTC Who's rocking trainers and a tux. – Martin Robinson 02:06 am UTC He looks like he's about to go to the school disco. – Martin Robinson 02:07 am UTC Jonathan Nolan, co-creator of Westworld, is here to present the award for best narrative. – Martin Robinson 02:08 am UTC There are gaming gags, and some of them land. – Martin Robinson 02:08 am UTC THE NOMINEES! – Martin Robinson 02:09 am UTC A Plague Tale, Control, Death Stranding - Death Stranding! - Disco Elysium and The Outer Worlds. – Martin Robinson 02:09 am UTC And Disco Elysium is the winner. – Martin Robinson 02:09 am UTC Rightfully so, I'd say - and the devs look absolutely delighted. – Martin Robinson 02:10 am UTC 900,000 people watching this right now! – Martin Robinson 02:10 am UTC I mean, not this live report. – Martin Robinson 02:10 am UTC There's four of us here. – Martin Robinson 02:11 am UTC But hey, it's the quality not the quantity of the company, right? – Martin Robinson 02:11 am UTC Anyway here's a REVEAL. – Martin Robinson 02:11 am UTC It. Is.. – Martin Robinson 02:12 am UTC It looks like From Dust but know it's not... It is? – Martin Robinson 02:12 am UTC It's an Xbox ad of some sort. – Martin Robinson 02:12 am UTC And it's the new Xbox. – Martin Robinson 02:13 am UTC Yup, Xbox Series X. – Martin Robinson 02:13 am UTC It looks like a PC. – Martin Robinson 02:13 am UTC It looks like it belongs in Currys. – Martin Robinson 02:13 am UTC It reminds me of those OG Xbox prototypes in its... Bluntness. – Martin Robinson 02:14 am UTC Also that name is... Brave? Uninspired? Whatever it is I'm not sure it's great. – Martin Robinson 02:14 am UTC And here's a new game. – Martin Robinson 02:14 am UTC Our first look at a Series X game? – Martin Robinson 02:14 am UTC Ah, it's Ninja Theory. – Martin Robinson 02:15 am UTC It's Senua 2 - a Hellblade sequel. – Martin Robinson 02:15 am UTC Ninja Theory being Microsoft developers now, of course. – Martin Robinson 02:15 am UTC Well this is a pleasant surprise. – Martin Robinson 02:15 am UTC And this was very much worth staying up for. – Martin Robinson 02:16 am UTC I'm still getting my head around Series X. – Martin Robinson 02:16 am UTC It sounds more like a razor blade than a console. – Martin Robinson 02:17 am UTC Have I? – Martin Robinson 02:17 am UTC It's a quick break - so to the bathroom! – Martin Robinson 02:19 am UTC INSOMANiAC: Martin, you werent refreshing on my end for ten minutes, but have you ever been refreshing on my end for ten minutes? I've certainly dreamt of it. – Martin Robinson 02:19 am UTC But honestly. – Martin Robinson 02:19 am UTC Xbox Series X? – Martin Robinson 02:22 am UTC Someone who does the American sports is here so I'm a bit confused. – Martin Robinson 02:23 am UTC Actually it was like a fiver a pint? – Martin Robinson 02:23 am UTC Deffo not cheap. – Martin Robinson 02:23 am UTC Anyway what's that about Control? Sounds good. – Martin Robinson 02:24 am UTC One small detail about the Xbox Series X - it's got a share button. – Martin Robinson 02:24 am UTC And it looks like a PC. – Martin Robinson 02:24 am UTC And it's got a pretty dumb name. – Martin Robinson 02:25 am UTC dogmanstar_: Did I miss control? I did... – Martin Robinson 02:25 am UTC Kami: It's a box with an X on it. There's a job at DF if ever you want it with this level of analysis. – Martin Robinson 02:26 am UTC Godfall - which is a PS5 game - has just been revealed. – Martin Robinson 02:26 am UTC There's a story on the site - or there will be shortly! - with more details. It's developed by Counterplay, published by Gearbox. – Martin Robinson 02:27 am UTC And that might well be our first look at a PS5 game - I think FF14 has sort of been confirmed for the console but this is laying claim to be the first as well. – Martin Robinson 02:28 am UTC Amidst the Xbox reveal was news that Halo Infinite is coming next year - and, as we all assumed, it's cross-gen. – Martin Robinson 02:29 am UTC And amidst all that some awards were given - Modern Warfare gets best audio, Fire Emblem best strategy. – Martin Robinson 02:29 am UTC And then some streaming bollocks. – Martin Robinson 02:29 am UTC The pace at these things is always pretty lively. – Martin Robinson 02:30 am UTC And here's another new game announcement! – Martin Robinson 02:30 am UTC Switch, by Square Enix. – Martin Robinson 02:30 am UTC God please don't be another 6/10 RPG Factory game. – Martin Robinson 02:30 am UTC Oh no, it's from Asano, the Octopath/Bravely Default people - so might actually be good! – Martin Robinson 02:31 am UTC It looks very Bravely Default - and it's called. – Martin Robinson 02:31 am UTC Bravely Default 2. – Martin Robinson 02:31 am UTC Which will explain why it looks a lot like Bravely Default. – Martin Robinson 02:31 am UTC Didn't we already get a sequel? – Martin Robinson 02:33 am UTC And while I try to figure that out, a Warframe update is announced. – Martin Robinson 02:34 am UTC Here's an advert for Samsung. – Martin Robinson 02:34 am UTC This lad is sitting way too close to that TV. – Martin Robinson 02:36 am UTC A new Magic the Gathering game, introduced by a slightly insincere chap. – Martin Robinson 02:36 am UTC And it's a CG trailer so *shrugs*. – Martin Robinson 02:37 am UTC No idea what's going on but it looks expensive. – Martin Robinson 02:38 am UTC And it's an explicit drawn out look at someone drowning. – Martin Robinson 02:38 am UTC So that's nice. – Martin Robinson 02:38 am UTC Money well spent on that CG trailer I guess. – Martin Robinson 02:38 am UTC ANOTHER WORLD PREMIERE! – Martin Robinson 02:39 am UTC For a foresty first-person game from Playerunknown - it's called prologue? – Martin Robinson 02:39 am UTC Ikumi Nakamura is now here to cheer us all up. – Martin Robinson 02:40 am UTC And it's to present best art direction. – Martin Robinson 02:41 am UTC Nominees are Control, Death Stranding, Gris, Sayonara Wild Hearts, Sekiro, Link's Awakening. – Martin Robinson 02:41 am UTC Control is the deserved winner. Nice one Remedy. – Martin Robinson 02:43 am UTC Here's Donny Mustard of Epic to show us something. – Martin Robinson 02:43 am UTC Not before he casts a dismissive stare at Geoff's trainers. – Martin Robinson 02:43 am UTC He's like 'make an effort man'. – Martin Robinson 02:43 am UTC Mustard's got proper big boy shoes on. – Martin Robinson 02:45 am UTC We're getting details of the Star Wars Rise of Skywalker stuff hitting Fortnite on Saturday. – Martin Robinson 02:45 am UTC Actually scratch that - we're not. – Martin Robinson 02:45 am UTC We're just being reminded that something is happening on Saturday. – Martin Robinson 02:45 am UTC The only way to experience the film. – Martin Robinson 02:46 am UTC Preferably while playing on mobile. – Martin Robinson 02:47 am UTC Another announce, this time from a Canadian studio. – Martin Robinson 02:48 am UTC Is it The Darkness 3? – Martin Robinson 02:49 am UTC It's got a John Carpenter-esque soundtrack, someone dancing crazily and horror-ish moments. – Martin Robinson 02:49 am UTC Oh yes please. – Martin Robinson 02:49 am UTC It is Sons of the Forest. – Martin Robinson 02:50 am UTC Something about LoL so I'm going to feel horribly out of touch as I look on with a confused glaze in my eyes. – Martin Robinson 02:50 am UTC It's a CG trailer so *shrugs*. – Martin Robinson 02:51 am UTC Joe Madureira is involved in development. – Martin Robinson 02:52 am UTC And another ad break - but hey Grimes is after the break! – Martin Robinson 02:56 am UTC Right, the ad break is over. – Martin Robinson 02:57 am UTC And we're back with an, er, ad that gives us a look at the music of Cyberpunk 2077. – Martin Robinson 02:57 am UTC Grimes, ASAP Rocky, Richard Devine, Nina Kraviz, Deadly Hunta, Rat Boy, Tina Guo. – Martin Robinson 02:58 am UTC I probably spelt all those wrong. Anyway, they're all in Cybperpunk 2077. – Martin Robinson 02:58 am UTC And now here is Grimes. – Martin Robinson 02:58 am UTC Which seems like a good time to take some drugs. – Martin Robinson 02:59 am UTC I like Grimes, but that beat has come straight from the bad bit of the late 90s. – Martin Robinson 03:00 am UTC That is precisely what everyone in the office is saying. – Martin Robinson 03:01 am UTC Nil points, I say. – Martin Robinson 03:01 am UTC And now another award. The best action game with Norman Reedus. – Martin Robinson 03:01 am UTC He's got lovely hair. – Martin Robinson 03:01 am UTC Like, that hair takes effort to maintain. – Martin Robinson 03:02 am UTC A couple of hours in curlers every morning. – Martin Robinson 03:02 am UTC INSOMANiAC: I hope Elon calls someone a Paedo, just because he can afford to *pedo. – Martin Robinson 03:02 am UTC Sorry, I was trying to figure out if Elon Musk and Grimes are still an item, and while I was doing that DMC5 won best action game. – Martin Robinson 03:03 am UTC Blessed Itsuno takes the award. – Martin Robinson 03:04 am UTC 11 year wait for the sequel? That feels a bit harsh on the might DmC. – Martin Robinson 03:04 am UTC Here's another announce: Dungeons & Dragons Dark Alliance. – Martin Robinson 03:05 am UTC It's a CG trailer *shrugs*. – Martin Robinson 03:05 am UTC And that's out next year. – Martin Robinson 03:06 am UTC A quick awkward interlude with Geoff mugging off with Apex Legends' Mirage. – Martin Robinson 03:06 am UTC This is horrendous. – Martin Robinson 03:08 am UTC I think they've just announced a new skin for Mirage or something, I dunno. – Martin Robinson 03:08 am UTC And some Xmas-related content for the game too. – Martin Robinson 03:08 am UTC Could have just said that at the start and not guffed around on stage for so long m8s. – Martin Robinson 03:10 am UTC I'm so tired. When does this end. – Martin Robinson 03:10 am UTC EvilAspirin: This makes me want to download Apex Legends just so I can do physical damage to the game. Not sure that's the best idea. But I get the sentiment. – Martin Robinson 03:11 am UTC A new Ori Will of the Wisps trailer now while my will o' to die becomes ever stronger. – Martin Robinson 03:12 am UTC Not much new there, but it does confirm that it's a very good looking game that's coming out next year. – Martin Robinson 03:13 am UTC Oh that is definitely happening, isn't it? – Martin Robinson 03:14 am UTC Ah - a small detail in that Ori trailer was that it's been pushed back a month. – Martin Robinson 03:14 am UTC Muppets are here now. – Martin Robinson 03:14 am UTC I thought Beaker was cancelled. – Martin Robinson 03:14 am UTC This is also awful. – Martin Robinson 03:15 am UTC Beaker's just had some VR googles superglued to his head and he sounds genuinely traumatised. – Martin Robinson 03:16 am UTC It could be the late hour but I'm genuinely unnerved and upset by this. – Martin Robinson 03:16 am UTC Also he's in Untitled Goose Game now or something? – Martin Robinson 03:16 am UTC I don't know but Norman Reedus looks like he's enjoying it. – Martin Robinson 03:16 am UTC And now an award - Games for Impact. – Martin Robinson 03:17 am UTC The nominees are Concrete Genie, Kind Words, Life is Strange 2, Sea of Solitude and one other thing which I totally missed and have forgotten already. – Martin Robinson 03:18 am UTC As amusing as this is I'm not sure it's the best match for the Games for Impact award. – Martin Robinson 03:18 am UTC Gris, the game I forgot to mention among the nominees, wins. – Martin Robinson 03:18 am UTC So that's nice. – Martin Robinson 03:18 am UTC Oh. Gris sounds like geese. – Martin Robinson 03:19 am UTC That's why the muppet goose is there. That makes sense. – Martin Robinson 03:19 am UTC It all makes sense now. – Martin Robinson 03:19 am UTC Nothing really makes sense at 3.17am. – Martin Robinson 03:20 am UTC 3.19am even. So tired. So confused. – Martin Robinson 03:20 am UTC Some more awards now anyway - Best Family Game. – Martin Robinson 03:20 am UTC Look, I'm not even going to type all the nominees out. – Martin Robinson 03:21 am UTC Just know that Luigi's Mansion 3 won. – Martin Robinson 03:21 am UTC Best sports/racing game now. And the winner is Crash Team Racing. – Martin Robinson 03:21 am UTC And now the best mobile game, with the winner being... Call of Duty: Mobile. – Martin Robinson 03:22 am UTC A new studio and a new game - this being from some of the people behind Prey and Dishonored. – Martin Robinson 03:22 am UTC Now I've seen it I think you're right. It is inside out. – Martin Robinson 03:23 am UTC Poor lad must be as confused and tired as us. – Martin Robinson 03:23 am UTC The studio is Wolfeye, the publisher is Devolver, the setting is the wild west and it looks like an isometric deal - so a departure from their previous first-person games. – Martin Robinson 03:23 am UTC Er... – Martin Robinson 03:23 am UTC I'm afraid Half-Life has been pulled from the show. – Martin Robinson 03:24 am UTC This is Weird West. – Martin Robinson 03:24 am UTC Which looks interesting. And here's a new action RPG MMO which is... – Martin Robinson 03:24 am UTC Ooooh, that's good to know. – Martin Robinson 03:25 am UTC I jest not - Valve announced just before the show. – Martin Robinson 03:25 am UTC That was Magic Legends. – Martin Robinson 03:25 am UTC It's just a CG trailer *shrugs*. – Martin Robinson 03:28 am UTC Here's a new Stadia trailer. – Martin Robinson 03:28 am UTC It's pretty poor. – Martin Robinson 03:30 am UTC I missed it - what was the theme? – Martin Robinson 03:30 am UTC I'm on a mission to collect them all, especially now the timed event ones are available. – Martin Robinson 03:30 am UTC A new Oculus game now. – Martin Robinson 03:31 am UTC Which is a 2D brawler, but, y'know, in 3D. It's from Twisted Pixel. – Martin Robinson 03:31 am UTC Here's Ninja, who doesn't know how to slice bread. – Martin Robinson 03:31 am UTC Or how to clean a suit. The state of that thing lad. – Martin Robinson 03:31 am UTC Just take it back to the dry cleaners. – Martin Robinson 03:33 am UTC Ninja's here to reveal the winner of Best Multiplayer Game. – Martin Robinson 03:33 am UTC Which is Apex Legends. – Martin Robinson 03:33 am UTC And the horrible realisation that we're going until 4am and maybe later begins to creep in. – Martin Robinson 03:35 am UTC Here's the promised extended look at Ghosts of Tsushima. – Martin Robinson 03:35 am UTC Did I spell that right? I think somehow, against all the odds, I did. – Martin Robinson 03:35 am UTC This is captured from a PS4 Pro, btw - but it's not a big leap of the imagination to see this being a cross-platform game. – Martin Robinson 03:36 am UTC Cross-platform? I mean cross-gen. – Martin Robinson 03:36 am UTC But hey who knows. – Martin Robinson 03:36 am UTC INSOMANiAC: Martin, if we all went to bed would you be obliged to keep typing to no one? Ha, I don't know. Let's find out! – Martin Robinson 03:36 am UTC Ghosts of Tsushima has the best swaying foliage since The Witcher 3 – Martin Robinson 03:37 am UTC It also looks more and more like Tenchu so I'm 100 per cent in. – Martin Robinson 03:38 am UTC As pretty as it looks, the character models look quite strange. – Martin Robinson 03:38 am UTC Still, those leaves man. – Martin Robinson 03:38 am UTC The screen comes up to reveal a full orchestra, and nose flute guy from the original reveal is nowhere to be seen. – Martin Robinson 03:39 am UTC We have a new flute man. – Martin Robinson 03:39 am UTC Who looks like Carlos Valderrama – Martin Robinson 03:40 am UTC Gears Tactics is the next trailer/reveal. – Martin Robinson 03:40 am UTC The title says it all really. – Martin Robinson 03:40 am UTC It's Gears. – Martin Robinson 03:40 am UTC With Tactics. – Martin Robinson 03:42 am UTC Naraka is up for a reveal now. – Martin Robinson 03:43 am UTC It is *checks story in the CMS because I'm too tired to sit through this trailer* a melee based battle royale. – Martin Robinson 03:43 am UTC So For Honor. But there's loads of you. – Martin Robinson 03:43 am UTC Another Magic trailer. – Martin Robinson 03:44 am UTC I love how Carl Weathers clearly can't be arsed in these adverts. – Martin Robinson 03:44 am UTC There's something heroic about the half-arsed celebrity appearance in a video game ad. – Martin Robinson 03:44 am UTC Just taking the money and running. *Salutes*. – Martin Robinson 03:45 am UTC spookyxelectric: Respect to Carl Weathers for being Apollo Creed and all that, but every time I see him I can only picture him wanting to make a stew in Arrested Development. I just see his arm coming off and still firing the gun as it falls to the floor. – Martin Robinson 03:47 am UTC Best ongoing show goes to...
