It seems Geoff Keighley, the enthusiastic organiser and presenter of The Game Awards, has learnt a lesson from over hyping the annual event. Geoff says that this year’s event will be significantly shorter than previous entries which have often gone on too long with too many adverts and commercial breaks. Geoff also said that there will be less major game announcements than previous years, which stacks up given that Nintendo decided to unleash the second Super Mario Bros Movie trailer independently from the event. Capcom also decided to reveal that Monster Hunter Rise is coming to other platforms
“I won’t say anything officially until we’re through our rehearsals but we think it’s going to be significantly shorter”
“We definitely have cut back pretty significantly in terms of the runtime on the show and just you know kind of fewer games fewer bigger games that’ll be in there and you know people always debate about are they presenting enough”
“But we’ve got some really great announcements. I think some really amazing studios around the world that are participating in the show this year. There’s some games that I’ve been. hoping and wanting to show for a number of years that are finally ready this year to up to showcase to to folks at the game awards so we’re very very happy with how that’s coming together”
