I liked the trailers for The Callisto Protocol, Open Roads, Season, Ark 2, Evil West, and Scarlet Nexus.

Sephiroth announced for Smash Ultimate was also an eye-opening surprise.

Season and Open Roads had beautiful animations styles, which I hope are reflected in actual gameplay, whenever they showcase it. Evil West looks fun; always happy to see more Western-theme games besides Red Dead.

Including Sephiroth in Smash was worth that really dark Mario moment. It made me go, "HOLYSHIT!" O__O'

I wasn't interested in watching the awards, I made a similar comparison at one point when the oscars were sucking up to Disney/Pixar back when there were other better animated films at the time. It dodged a bullet completely when Spiderverse won the oscar before it went back to square one. The game awards show itself. While I did look up on what was revealed, nothing out of the ordinary caught my interest. Some of the results I wasn't surprised on.

I think the biggest sin that had happened was the fact that Last of us II got the prize rather than Doom(which was quite better) was the fact that another 'sword fighter' got into the Smash game over a blue puppet that controls the stars. Let alone that the majority of the game titles that won(with the exception of Animal Crossing and Among Us) mostly focused on the 'realistic' looking games.

Yeah, the Oscars animation category is practically the Disney / Pixar award. I am still pissed that Klaus, the best animated film of the 2019, lost to Toy Story 4.

Doom and Animal Crossing deserved more awards, just because they came out right as lockdowns were happening during the Pandemic, and they helped a lot of people pass the time while stuck at home.

And yeah, there's always a bias towards "realistic", cinematic games; as though having the most realistic graphics make them better than stylized games. And because critics and the industry wants games to be more and more like Hollywood movies.

The ARK: Animated Series trailer is amazing, but when I see it and see that I'm supposed to view it with the game in mind, it simply falls flat for me.

Don't get me wrong; ARK's a bloody brilliant game. Its like Rust but with slightly better AI. But that doest change the fact most of the game aint some long, exciting adventure filled with life-or-death encounters, action and having to work your way around the other players' interests and energy fuelled rage; its running around a large map as you smash blocks and *mobile* blocks of flesh with advanced AnPrim technology until you *modernize* and can get raped in the ass by a bigger group of transcended Anprims

And no, I am NOT salty about my hundred or so hours of progress being wiped away in one particular afternoon.
