Is Geoff Keighley human?

With the game awards now over Geoff Keighley will retreat back to his Kojima shrine to begin hibernation. His tummy now filled with the finest celebrity semen which will sustain him through the harsh winter. Only when the weather warms will he return, more powerful than ever, to begin the ritual once more.
 
Total shitshow. Only interesting things shown were Dark Tide, the game from the Dead Space creator, Back 4 Blood, and Perfect Dark. Couldn't give less of a fuck about Sephiroth since the only good thing about Final Fantasy is the music. Awards were for the obvious shill picks exclusively, ads out the ass, and boring reveals outside of the aforementioned stuff. At least Yakuza 3-6 is coming to Xbox and PC which is cool.

That's what kills me the most about this. They gave TLoU II this many awards, but he couldn't pull shit for Death Stranding. Man, those journos must really hate Kojima.

I had a lot of reservations about Death Stranding's gameplay but I was pretty sold on it's story and characters. Die Hardman and Higgs in particular were very well cast and acted.

I'm a little shocked by Deathloop having the most nominations, mostly because I didn't realize it had even been released. Is it really that good? I know it got delayed a few times and after Cyberpunk that makes me a little cautious.

I don't think the VA for Dimitrescu was particularly good enough to warrant a Best Performance nom, I'm guessing the big titty vampire mommy meme influenced things. Although maybe I'm a little salty that Cherami Leigh as Fem V got snubbed.
 
I'm going to with Deathloop and Ratchet winning most things, Microsoft flight simulator, Monster Hunter Rise, and Demon Slayer.

I'm not sure how making a difficulty level (Tourist), that is specifically designed for Gaming Journalists, can be considered as "Innovation in Accessibility". Maybe they're referring to how you can have mechanical limbs for your character?

Plot twist: TLOU2 still somehow wins everything regardless.

well: might have something to do with this

The accessibility features in Forza Horizon 5, which will be available at launch and can be seen in the video above, include:

  • A Game Speed Modification setting that allows gamers to play Forza Horizon 5 at a reduced speed when playing offline; this feature is great for newcomers and those who would like more time to progress through the game.
  • High Contrast mode that changes colors to make things such as menus and text easier to distinguish for gamers.
  • Color Blindness mode that allows players with color blindness to better visualize game elements. Players can adjust color blind settings independently for the UI and the game visuals.
  • For Subtitles, we know the importance of customization. With these, you’ll be able to:
    • Turn subtitles on or off
    • Adjust the font size
    • Adjust the background opacity
    • Ability to highlight key words
  • Customize menu and gameplay font size.
  • Screen reader narrator that reads text, buttons, and other elements aloud.
  • Text-to-speech and speech-to-text options for players that want to participate in Voice Chat and either need to send synthesized voice or receive voice chat as synthesized text.
  • Ability to disable moving backgrounds.
  • Notification duration setting, which allows players to set how long notifications in the game appear.
These are just some of the accessibility features we’re building upon, and we’re constantly listening to the community to make Forza Horizon 5 an inclusive experience for everyone to enjoy.
also options for sign language during cinematics are apparently a thing but i havent found that yet
