I'm gonna say it

I miss E3
The Game Awards are just a much worse E3.
I get why it "died", but I still miss E3.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie is the most streamed movie of 2023 and nominated for two Golden Globes including Best Original Song.

Cool!
Imagine if it also got nominated at the Oscars for Best Original Song and won that.

Marvel just randomly announced that
  1. “Spider-Man: Freshman Year” is now officially known as “Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man” and is still set for a 2024 release
  2. the Wakanda show is an animated series named “Eyes of Wakanda” (also set for 2024)
  3. What If season 3 is happening
  4. people are getting sneak peeks of those and X-Men 97
…well then…I want that Spider-Man show desperately

I knew once that Aonuma interview dropped it would set the Zelda fanbase on fire

Guess some were in denial that open Zelda was here to stay

Ehh, the franchise couldn’t stay on BOTW forever. The whole point is that there’s always a new Link.

I look forward to the next version of Hyrule in ten years

Yes, but the next game will be open world is what I’m saying. The 3D OOT style is effectively dead and I think some are only realizing that now.

I don't know if that's inherently true.

I think its possible to make a hybrid. But you'd have to give up a lot of openness to actually have a compelling narrative.

I've been saying linearity isn't bad for years. People are finally starting to listen.

BOTW and TOTK still outsold the other 3D Zelda games by several magnitudes. While we are seeing attempts to bring back elements from older 3D Zeldas like dungeons (Aonuma's words, not mine), I don't foresee the nonlinear approach being abandoned anytime soon. Heck if anything I wouldn't be surprised if the next Zelda takes some cues from Elden Ring.

AI art is hell unholy most of the time…this is supposed to be Donatello and April O’Neil (who must’ve had her neck snapped harder than Gwen’s)

Insomniac apparently got hacked, with them having information on the Wolverine game and personal info on Yuri Lowenthal (amongst other current and former employees and actors)

At this point, TGA doesn't even seem to give a **** about the very people behind the things it's supposedly dedicated to and handing out awards for.
