Did you legit get hacked at the end? Because there is a significant portion of the VGAs that you didn't react to. And the part that I wanted to see you react to the MOST apparently did not get recorded: The reveal of Okami 2.

Why is it always PlayStation who breaks the mold in these categories? Spike VGA was dominated by multiplat games taking GOTY until Naughty Dog made a paradigm shift for exclusive titles taking GOTY with Uncharted 2 in 2009 (best graphics category too). Best family game has been a winning streak for Nintendo for years at some point I started to call it the Nintendo category. But this year a little game from a small studio under PlayStation took this category. Since the game had journalists on its side with 94 on metacritic I knew this had a chance to take even GOTY of 2024. The closest to take on a fight with Astro Bot was Metaphor which had 94 for PS5 version but less reviews by critics and it was an JRPG so this genre never win GOTY anyway. Astro Bot winning best family game, best game direction, best action/adventure and GOTY sends a message to the games industry and especially to Sony that fun games are still valuable if they have the right craft by talents. Same with JRPG category that PlayStation and many third party publishers abandoned in the PS3 era. You can't give up after a dozens snoozefests. Mid quality will never convince consumers to play it. With platformers and RPGs in Japan that have been PlayStation's nemesis from a first party standpoint to get right. I think with platformers Team Asobi cracked the code how to make a fun quality game without thinking too much about calculation. It is also a win for the studio to sell 1.5M copies in 9 weeks with their first normal game that isn't a VR game or a tech demo. This is an achievement for Team Asobi because they came from Japan Studio who struggled to even sell 1M in lifetime. Ape Escape was a flop. The Legend of Dragoon was a flop. ICO was a flop. SOTC broke even. TLG was a flop after being in development hell for 10 years. Knack was a colossal flop. So was Siren and Gravity Rush. All JRPGs were flops. So this meant a lot for Team Asobi who was rising from the ashes of Japan Studio to finally show off quality. Take Uncharted Drake's Fortune for example, that sold 2.7M in 16 months. Back then PlayStation of America highlighted that as a good thing despite being completely bullied by the market when Xbox 360 dominated the American market. This feels the same kind of victory for Team Asobi.

They really gotta quit having the majority of actual awards be just a sidebar in favor of playing announcements and ads. Also, Melina is still not an actress. She's still primarily a video editor for Ninja Theory, which she's very modest about. As far as the games go, Ninja Gaiden Ragebound will be handled by The Game Kitchen, the developer behind the Blasphemous games. With The Witcher IV, I believe they said the beginning will show how Ciri passed the Trial of the Grasses (playable, from the sound of it)...which will need some explaining because the lore says females cannot survive the Trials.

I would have to guess her elder blood helped her survive the TOG
