Oh, great. As we mentally prepare ourselves for a week of exorbitantly late night streams, industry icon Geoff Keighley has revealed that we can look forward to one more on 1st December, when The Game Awards will return. We thought that last year's show was just about as good as one could reasonably expect an awards ceremony based on games to be, so we're sure that this year's edition will maintain that high standard.
One intriguing thing about the show, however – which was spotted on a banner hanging outside the LA Convention Center – is that it will be presented on "every gaming screen and VR". We haven't got a clue how it's going to broadcast the event in virtual reality, but consider our interest very much piqued. Keighley himself is staying tight-lipped for the moment, but we're sure that he'll plug the event during one of his E3 2016 live streams next week.

Good!
Jeez, did enough games even come out this year for an awards show? It feels like Uncharted 4 is going to win everything by default but that could just be my inner, bitter Nintendo fan in me thats upset at how little has been released this year.
Can we have drunk Jade Raymond again?
@tabris95: I'd say there's enough. Uncharted 4, Doom, Dark Souls 3, Overwatch, Banner Saga 2, Stardew Valley, Total War: Warhammer, XCOM 2, Quantum Break, Street Fighter V, Fire Emblem Fates etc. And that's just the first half of the year.
Is this the hip tryhard that called out konami awhile ago and created unneeded drama during an award show? This man is literally the Chris Hardwick of video game hosts: unneeded and trying way too hard to be cool for the kidz.
@Napples I'm not really a Geoff Keighley fan so to speak, but that moment was actually rather uncharacteristic of him. He usually tows the more straight business like approach, but he has been friends with Kojima for a long time and it seemed like an actual genuine moment. And considering the sh*t that Konami have been pulling, that was a refreshing moment.
Cant wait to see which undeserving game wins this year.
I wonder if effectively gives us the date for this year's PSX too since they usually fall on the same weekend as the game awards. I hope not because most of the gaming media spent too much time talking about the awards when PSX should have been the bigger deal. Also PSX conference on PSVR?!
@tabris95 Absolutely tons of games have come out this year, and there's still six months to go.
@Churchy yah Drunk Jade Raymond was the one good thing about last year's show
Uncharted 4 will sweep all the big awards this year. It's technically impressive and one of the most well-reviewed exclusives this gen.
Overwatch will pick up the multiplayer awards, most likely.
I'll pass. How predictable.
I hope I can use the Morpheus to watch this n_n I actually enjoyed the show last year.
