But also, I can't believe we've had 4 Total War Warhammer games between Half-Life 2 Episode 2 and Half-Life 3 being released.

Geoff got me this year. The prediction hype was let down, but the surprise picked me back up.

Well done, Mr Keighley.

And, you can ask Robert this, I've been saying it for years. The 4th in the series? Has to be Warhammer 40k. The grim dark sci-fi setting.

And they went and fucking did it.

Medieval fantasy battles in Warhammer, but in the massive scale strategy wars of Total War, very silly fun games.

Motherfucking. In previous years we had

Total War Warhammer

Total War Warhammer 2

Total War Warhammer 3

Warhammer Fantasy games. Elves, Dwarves, Vampires, Humans, Ratmen, Orcs, Vampires and also "not robots but ancient Egyptians" people. The Chaos gods, Nurgle, Slaanesh, Khorne, Tzeentch.

No Half-Life 3. No Fallout: New Vegas 2/Remaster announcement. No Elder Scrolls 6. No GTA6. No Fromsoftware at all (apart from a 5 second shot of Duskbloods that we saw last year, but who even owns a Switch 2?).
Everything was almost incredibly disappointing, as usual, until...

No Mans Sky rightfully won an ongoing support award. Those people have been doing so much over the past 10 years to make it into the game they really wanted. It's such a cozy, weird, unnerving and beautiful piece of art. I love No Mans Sky, if you couldn't tell.

Star Wars Fates(?). Was it called that? I love a trailer that has no context to what kind of game it will be.
Lord of the Fallen 2 (but it's technically 3) had fucking "It's a Sin" by the Pet Shop Boys in it's dark gothic fantasy horror game trailer, which was strange.
Nioh 3 looks like a Nioh game.

Xbox did a Game Pass advert were they had a janitor walking through "the tubes" of xbox and cleaning out games, ignored Halo and Fallout. Didn't even mention Elder Scrolls.
Todd Howard still surprises me by being a very short, small man.
Star Wars Podracing is back on the menu, boys.

The Street Fighter movie started off looking absolutely horrible, but then it got VERY camp and looks very fun now.
Leon Kennedy is back in Resident Evil 9(?). He's old now but he's still exploding bodies with REAL AMERICAN KICKS.

Larian making Divinity (3), looks pretty fucking excellent.
MEGAMAN YEAH BOIIIIII GIVE ME MY ROBOT BOY
