Cube Posted November 19 Posted November 19 Will they be getting a real host this time, or will Geoff be using his money to carry on pretending that he's suitable for the role?
Hero-of-Time Posted November 19 Posted November 19 17 minutes ago, Dcubed said: I don’t have the slightest interest in Geoff’s Doritos Awards, but the fact that 1000xResist didn't even get a single nomination (let alone be a complete shoe-in for Best Narrative) perfectly highlights how much of a complete failure the event is at what it purports to be. The damn thing is nothing more than a big advertisement for Geoff’s cronies. Truly an insult to the industry as a whole, it deserves better. As much as I dislike the show, not to mention how it's gotten progressively worse of the years, it wouldn't exist without him or the sponsors. Nobody else seems interested in doing a proper awards show or at least footing the bill for one.

You don't need the "else" there. There are no proper awards shows for gaming. The closest are the BAFTAs, but they don't air the ceremony. Proper awards shows happen after the year is finished. 1

Honestly, I'd love an Oscar style show that really highlights the people behind the games but I doubt it would pull in the viewers as it would probably lack mainstream appeal, which is what Geoff's show is really aiming at. I doubt most mainstream gamers don't really care about who makes their games, let alone whether or not they should be awarded for doing so.

Hero-of-Time Posted November 21 Posted November 21 I'm sitting watching the Golden Joystick Awards and it's a far better show that what Keighley puts out. Sure, it's not as extravagant, but it actually feels like an award show rather than a massive advertisement.
