So has anyone in the Japanese games industry tweeted out a "watch the game awards, it'll be fun" message or anything like that?

I'm actually more excited for game reveals in general at TGA as opposed to the possibility of a Smash reveal. Not even placing very high hopes for Smash, but the chances of seeing new stuff for the new consoles is pretty good.

Pokemon's got its 25th anniversary and there are rumors that a mainline game is coming in 2021 (a remaster) and Pokemon Go is celebrating TGA for today and tomorrow with high spawn rates etc, so there's a chance we may see something from Gamefreak.

Persona's got that Concert or whatever thats going to be at TGA and I think they said something about an announcement for the series as well.

Bioware is teasing a Dragon Age announcement/news

Also, the best TGA guest has been announced: The Swedish Chef!

A Smash reveal would be cool, but that is not what I'm looking forward to.
I don't really know what to expect to be honest, so I'll just list what I would love to see:
  • Metroid Prime Trilogy HD remaster (probably it's still too soon for MP4)
  • Some info on Bayonetta 3
  • Something about God of War: Ragnarock
  • Some info on The Last of Us Part II multiplayer
  • Hollow Knight: Silsong

There's also Cuphead dlc, but last week they postponed it to the next year. So I don't think we would have new info soon.

Seeing how Sony and Xbox have both been like "remember to tune in to the game awards!" and Nintendo has said, like, nothing, I wouldn't go expecting much if at all from them. Unless they'll completely surprise us.

Fortunately for me the event takes place in the middle of the night here, so I don't have to anxiously sit around watching it but rather just catch up on things when I wake up.

Well folks, its gonna be the biggest showcase for gaming this year and thus a huge stage for a Smash reveal... so who ya got for predictions?

I want to say Crash, but I can't rule out a Capcom character or even a Dovahkiin reveal either.

Someone said something about their Discord person having a leak?

...You should ask for more. Albeit, it's likely just the person faking us out, but.

Also, yay!

Welp, RIP my hopes about not missing anything important.

Is there even a way to watch TGA unspoiled the day after?
Yeah I second this. I'm not exactly thrilled at the thought of staying up until potentially 4am otherwise.

So, now that we know we're getting a fighter reveal tonight, any predictions?

You'd have to save a livestream link (Twitch is probably the best bet) in a document and have that be the very first thing you open when you get up

I was thinking of sleeping through the event cause staying up the whole night for the mere chance of the reveal didn't seem worth it. Guess I have no excuse now, lol. Do appreciate the heads up tho.

IMO the primary contenders would be, unordered:

(I'm basing this on a angled view of which characters would make sense at TGA, a western event.)

Crash
Dante
LoL Rep (leaning towards Ahri, but it could be any other of its posterchildren)
Jonesy
Reimu
Arle
Lara Croft
Gordon Freeman
Ryu Hayabusa
Soul Calibur

Then again, TGA is so unpredictable that I could see Contra's Bill Rizer, an SMT rep or the Sims' Bella Goth having a decent chance just because of the sheer WTF factor. The potential field is crowded.

Let's go!

I predict it will be Geno. I just have a gut feeling with the bits of evidence that have built up for him. I get the skepticism since he's not really TGA material but Geoff Keighley was pushing for a reveal at TGA and timing might just be in Geno's favor. Otherwise, I don't know who to predict. As long as its not something like Fortnite or Tracer, I'm all good. I'm all aboard on the hype train.

UM
Imma log off until the character is announced to avoid potential leaks or just general fighting but...




...And then this post ages like milk and it's Plok instead.
Implying Plok isn't massive
