You have just been placed in charge of making the VGAs prestigious and not cringe. What do you do?

You have just been placed in charge of making the VGAs prestigious and not cringe. What do you do?

get more hollywood celebrities to come, game devs are no longer allowed a speech. there I saved the industry

replace Geoff with a muppet

Just have a normal and earnest award show. Save all the announcements for a separate event. Like a Winter Games Fest or something.

I pay cosplayers to be the presenters and to speak simlish and gesture instead of talking normally, and permit no one from the unjustly ti come near a microphone.

i cancel this shitshow

Then who is going to fund your award show?

nobody actually cares about the awards because the industry is embarrassing

I exit scam it to the fullest degree possible and shut it down

A musical number about Kojima but it heavily implies he's raising a baby to be a furry Jack Black is in the Sonic costume

Kill all the journalists. Have all awards chosen by a committee of top players chosen from an open entry tournament. No buy-ins.

hire actresses like xochitl and sydney sweeney in sexy dresses to present awards

start it at like 11am and hold it outside and keep commenting about the insane graphics

No "influencers". Geoff can host, but no internet characters would be good hosts and bringing in a comedian is cringe.
Awards are all done by people who are industry professionals or people who worked directly on the game. The music medleys are good in theory, they can keep that, or do 2 or 3 specific music performances of relevant game music from the year.
No audience say in the vote.
No awards for influencers or streamers.

cancel it

hire the guys from wizards with guns to harass audience members at gunpoint dressed like wizards also have the cast from fallout mean mug the cast from TLOUS2 and have em make out, but call it modding.

better idea, have all the speedrunners show up and shit talk the games

I make Joel McHale the host.

What do you do?

delete the awards and make geoff apologize to the world for the absolute mockery he has continued to pretend matters
make it a nice little year in review show and show games that are no more than 6 months away
do the same thing the following summer
viewers can optionally pay to watch a private stream of geoff fellating hideo kojima and ask kojima, live as it happens, if he liked it and does he feel ashamed of geoff's words and deeds.

He obviously doesn't want to

Well too bad!

Ban AI slop, like Reddit 33, from being eligible to win any awards.

Make Bruce Vilanch the host

why do you keep spamming your AI headcanon? There's none of that in E33 (goty btw)

NOOOO!!! Mario Kart World can't win GOTY now!!!!

Make Bruce Venture the host

ditch the ads and just make it a full on industry awards dickslurping show like the oscars
geoff then goes bankrupt within 3 years because nobody wants to watch that, everyone else is happy

First time I’ve actually posted about it. I think non-retards are just catching on.

They’ve already been caught using AI, they just said “oops lol, that was a ‘placeholder’ we’re patching it now”

Who the fuck uses AI as a placeholder? They just forgot to touch it up. Regardless, the entire game feels soulless and artificially generated.

Cope harder for your dogshit game, retard.

KEK

the only thing I like from TGA is the orchestra medley thing and that's like 5 minutes of the show total
i can't even get remotely excited for the ads bc he oversells it every SINGLE time before the show, and then 50% of them are chinese, or in the case of last year stuff he clearly doesn't even vet like that AI cat scam

This is a big thing. There needs to be some big announcements, and nobody pays to do it there anymore because every big announcement has their own publisher show, so it's 90% Chinese mobile game shit. They have to get rid of that if they ever don't want to be a joke but it's also paying for the show, so it's a tough position.

just googled it and i see what you mean. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt on this one, because 1. They've patched it and 2. it's literally the only instance of "may or may not be AI"

ragebait by inviting unawarded nominees to the humiliation ritual

I defer full creative control to Vince McMahon and set him as host with the mission "do to it what you did with wrestling."

Make it good for like 4 years then utter fucking garabage for the other 20 on either side?

Do a live musical based on five nights at Freddy's staring jack black. After that show case sonic fan art for the rest of the show.

Wait!
I want to change my answer. Get Sydney Sweeney to host it. Her and billie Elish slap eachother in the face with their big fat honkers.

ok but where does Sonic come in? Is Jack Black on one rack and Sonic on the other?

Invite all the DEI feminist and tranny devs for a special award for gaymers in the industry

Special speech by Zoe Quinn and Anita

Lock the doors

Light up the Night

.I bring back booth babes

For the VGAs not to suck, the games journalism industry in general needs to not be absolute cancer first, which as we all know is fucking impossible.

Cringe incels

rope yourself xitter troon

chained up booth babes ala wii u

I'm not sure if you are aware but VGA already dominates the VG conference market and it dominates it for like 6+ years now. There is no point in doing anything to it since it already has a monopoly on the market

I'd make Fuck The Oscar's guy do every segment.

Make harman smith the host and sole decider of what wins every year to BTFO pretendos

Yes.

Hope you love trannys.

Remove the ads.

Officially apologize for calling Dave the diver an indie and nominating a man who hadn't coached all year as best esports coach
sexy underdressed women about the place, maybe some sexy underdressed men as well in the name of equality
better security I guess
make sure all the games announced are good games
slight increase in how much audience vote counts

full penetration

What the fuck are you talking about. Did you not watch FF Rebirth win RPG of the year on the only award show that matters, the Algerian Game awards?
What else is their?

You both need to take your meds

Awards are all done by people who are industry professionals or people who worked directly on the game

This.

*Facepalm* dave the diver ISNT an indie now? Doesnt contrarianism get dull for you pissants?

Sold

Remember the time when The Last of Us 2 one like 10 awards for no reason. Yeah, people totally didn't hate that, Geoff!

I have never claimed dave the diver to be indie and i'm not sure i've ever seen anybody on Anon Babble call it such outside people shitposting pretending to agree with the game awards having done do

it was published by Nexon, they're not an Indie studio, so technically no it's not Indie it's just pixel shit.

Wow dave the diver is triple AAA, of course!

Dave the Diver

published and developed by Nexon and Arc System Works

even had DLC crossovers with Yakuza and Guilty Gear

no, we're indie cuz its pixelshit :)

Remove Muppets

Remove needless celebrity presence

Remove needless band interludes

Remove pre/post-trailer explanations that are longer than a minute

Disqualify trailers that show no gameplay

Give award winners all the time they need to give their speeches

Back said speeches with a quiet but triumphant big band rendition of their games most iconic track

"One more thing" the most projected to be hype trailer to play after the GOTY award speech to give a sense of "and the cycle continues".

the entire time, viewers at home and in-house can vote for who they think will win and if they're correct they win a minor prize via Twitch integration per correct winner

Remove all the advertisements

nobody will watch it then!

Guess It's cancelled

I make it so presenters stop addressing the camera instead of the audience, jesus christ.

"indie is when pixels!"

>Remove Muppets

Arlobros....

i would make the "show" not a thing altogether, have a live event where common people can join instances in vrchat and vote in real time and enjoy the show interactively.

The show is now a couple hours of forcing "journalists" to play what they review. At the end is a memorial showing where they failed in becoming a real journalist. At least we get a few laughs out of it.

Reduce the amount of categories. Some need to be consolidated or removed. Don't need categories that are platform specific like mobile. Don't need Esports categories, which are more "sport" oriented and not really development or arts related. Probably don't need indie debut. Can probably consolidate like ongoing and community support. With this it should reduce the show length. Emphasize story, writing, graphics, directing, etc. Reduce the amount of advertisement for 'gamer product' like peripherals and whatever. Keep it to mainly game trailers, no 5 minute showcases (if we want to find out more, we'll look it up). I'm not really into the performances and celebrities but I guess it brings views, it apparently had over 150m viewers and grew over 30% from the previous year so it must be doing something right but reduce it to 3 performances, pre/early-show, mid-show, late-show, then final melody for GOTY.

Im sorry but their presence the first time was to make a fun big deal about a upcoming movie/game they were gonna be in. If the Muppets don't have something to contribute or allude to with their presence, or at the very least have skits directly related to the next trailer, they need to fuck off.
