If The Game Awards just focused on the actual art of video game kudos, it’d be nice but it wouldn’t exactly be must-stream TV. Between it, the BAFTAs and the Golden Joystick Awards, video games (rightfully) get plenty of kudos from an adoring public and several judges who give the highest of nods to the games that defined the year.
Where The Game Awards sets itself apart from the pack, is in how it builds hype for games that have yet to be revealed. Essentially a classier and more intimate, previous Game Awards shows have seen plenty of big name games revealed during the course of the show. As I sit here and prep this article several hours before it even begins, there’s a part of me that’s hoping that Batman: Court of Owls is finally and officially revealed.
Will my dreams come true or will they be expertly dashed upon the rocks of disappointment? Let’s find out! Here’s everything that The Game Awards 2019 had to show off:

Darryn, did you forsake sleep to stay up and watch all of these? Or did you just watch the whole thing at 100x speed right this minute? 😛
New Xbone looks like a power bank and boombox made a baby. O.O

But if you look at the disc drive it’s actually quite compact. I kinda like it.

That and a Samsung QLED could be in my future. DAMMIT, LINUS! WHY YOU PITCH SO HARD?!

Not really! I was up around 5AM, and I’d actually prepared this post last night already. Once I was caught up, I just kept adding and refreshing content while simeltaneously watching and absorbing more media. Just another Friday!

You could say he’s well oil…D. Maybe it’s the grease from the KFC.

Hahaha. I thought as much.
News Story A: Caped vigilante seen prowling the streets of Johannesburg at 03h00, on the hunt for criminals! Turns out to be Darryn stretch testing latest cosplay outfit.
#Believable
News Story B: Darryn stayed up to watch an entire bloated game awards show in the wee hours of the morning, when he could have just prepreped the night before & quickly caught up at 100x speed once he awoke from his slumber?
#Not believable
The Bat fights smart, after all. 😉

I need to ask. Dark Alliance – is that actually Baldur’s Gate, since the trailer didn’t show anything at all to do with that, only the D&D tag.

Isn’t it a remake? I’m sure there was a BG Dark Alliance on PS2.

Godfall and Sons of the Forest piques my interest, looks good.
But that Fast & Furious looks trash, like a Need for Speed from 2010 but still manages to look and perform worse….but it’s still in developent so time to improve hopefully, for the f4mily you know.

I was excited for the Game Awards to simply see what new games were on the horizon and I’m somewhat disappointed. Yes, some of the games will be very good most probably, but there is nothing there that grabs me as a must have. Maybe with a few more details in the near future, I might change my mind!

More Hellblade!

There are a lot of things I am excited for on this list. Perhaps none more so than Hellblade II
For the Emperor!

Hope I have power at home to watch these. Godfall and the Magic one look good from the thumbnails, while that Humankind sounds… intriguing
Pariah

Humankind looks right up my alley. Looks like Civ, but with a bit of a twist thrown into the formula if the conjecture in the trailer is to be believed.
For the Emperor!

Ok, so then a pass from me. Dang
