Hideo Kojima and Del Toro to present at Thursday’s Game Awards

This Thursday The Game Awards 2017 will be held in Los Angeles. This yearly award show, produced by industry veteran Geoff Keighley is meant to celebrate the best games of the past year, as well as provide world premieres for new and upcoming titles. Yesterday, we already learned that one of the presenters will be none other than film maker Guillermo del Toro, who of course is a close friend of Kojima’s and also collaborates on him with his next project Death Stranding. Today, another presenter was announced: Hideo Kojima himself. A little earlier the legendary game designer already posted on Twitter that he was boarding a plane.

Death stranding gameplay incoming? Yes, please.

Kingthrash3602354d ago

Fingers...toes...arms. ..legs..and girlfriend all crossed for gameplay.

UltraNova2354d ago

Ok we know Jeff has a huge man-crush for Kojima but common wouldn't Sony want to have the gameplay reveal shown on their stage 1st?

@king

Smart man! Hehe

@ UltraNova: But with the TGA they may reach a bigger audience, also people who may not yet have a PS4 and may be convinced to get one, whereas PSX is mainly viewed by PS4 owners (I assume).

Malphite2353d ago

@UltraNova: They could show a new cinematic trailer with a short gameplay teaser at the Game Awards and keep the detailed gameplay reveal for PSX. Would be a win-win situation for both shows.

UltraNova2353d ago

@Nyxus

I have a feeling everyone is gonna be watching PSX...

@Malphite

Good idea, I can see it working!

Xbox President Sarah Bond's Bloomberg Interview Is Corporate Fakery At Its Best

Saad from eXputer: "After Arkane Austin & Tango were shutdown, Xbox President Sarah Bond spoke with Bloomberg in what I believe to be utter corporate fakery."

im not really surprised by that, shes always been more a "let me talk about something else than what u want to know" kinda gal

If what they are doing is that good, what’s the point of hiding the true story?

anast22h ago

She's a caricature of the shareholders.

PRIMORDUS20h ago

"Shareholders" I call them cancer, they are already rich to begin with but need more and more. It's like a disease, with no cure.

__y2jb4h ago

If you have a pension then you are likely to be a shareholder in these big tech companies yourself. To demonize them as 'heartless rich people' shows you have no idea what you're talking about.

anast2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

@Y2

Of course, it isn't about that. You are attempting to set up a self-righteous strawman to stir up some kind of ignorant mob mentality.

And by the way, most everyone is a touch heartless or we wouldn't be able to consume the products we do knowing very well how they are made. People have to be this way because of self-preservation and convenience.

__y2jb16m ago

@anast please explain to me how what i said is self righteous or a strawman. I simply pointed out that categorizing all shareholders as cancer is ridiculous.

Leeroyw17h ago

I own shares in game companies. I'm not anything near a major share holder. I just want them to make good games and be successful because of that. I think it's the senior management that's the problem. They are the ones that should be making it clear to the shareholders what creates growth and ensures a future of their business. Not this weasle words garbage that she did on the interview. It was horrific. I don't know a shareholder that would be happy with any of them for this.

Profchaos16h ago(Edited 16h ago)

Same and I'm not rich by any stretch like most people's I'm just trying to keep my head above water these days most company's shareholders are made up of everyday people it's amazing how companies think we want something but the reality is we don't.

Disney are probably the worse at the moment it's shareholders voted on ending a lot of the crap and outing the current execs the execs turned around and said no we disagree with the shareholder vote

PRIMORDUS12h ago

I meant at the rich fucks who have millions in the bank already. They are making so much per year, that if they don't make what they are expecting they go into a panic, when in reality it will not even hurt them at all. Those are greedy assholes.

"you have a pension then you are likely to be a shareholder"

Pensioners don't make any decisions about anything. Obviously that is not what this is about.

CrimsonWing6922h ago

Yea, it was and it’s insulting that they think we’re dumb enough to fall for this. Look, the truth was you took a gamble on these studios and while they released some games to critical praise and great reception they just aren’t bringing in a ROI. Be transparent, you’re not a politician.

Just tell everyone you spend money on projects big and small and when money isn’t being made you go over the potential of revenue a studio can bring in vs those that can’t and make the hard decision to chop them.

She says this whole thing about “success” doesn’t fit one meaning for each studio. Well yea, a small budget production isn’t going to expect to sell the same as a large budget production.

One thing I wish they did though was let Tango be an independent studio.

TheGamingHounds21h ago

disheartening to see no regard for the human cost of business anymore
the bad decisions and judgements of these CEOs severely impact the frontliners
these fake responses are just salt on wounds

RoadRacer21h ago

imagine havin the audacity to say "we need more games like hifi rush" right after closing the studio that made it lol
followin up with this show of "deflecting every question" was in poor taste
