The Game Awards Recap 2024: A Night of Nostalgia, New Beginnings, and Empowerment!

"We have to hand it to Geoff Keighley, he's been holding it down since 2014 with The Video Games, that celebrated it's 10 year this year. E3 officially retired this time last year (December 2023) and no one exactly noticed because Geoff softened the blow. Things were already changing, but... he was there to usher fans of video game shows forward, so... we have to salute that." -  Blu 

The Game Awards 2024 was a spectacular celebration of the gaming industry's finest, blending nostalgia with exciting new installments of beloved franchises. This year's event was not just about honoring the best games but also about highlighting the importance of inclusivity and empowerment in the gaming community.

The night was filled with thrilling announcements and well-deserved accolades. Astro Bot took home the coveted Game of the Year award (+ Family Game of the Year award), while Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth and Metaphor: ReFantazio also shone brightly, winning multiple awards.

Fans of classic franchises were treated to new installment reveals, such as Onimusha: Way of the Sword and Virtua Fighter 6, which brought a wave of nostalgia and excitement.

Virtua Fighter Project

One of the more inspiring segments of the show was Death Row Games, a game studio founded by Snoop Dogg and his son, Cordell Broadus. This venture aims to provide opportunities for talented minority creators and artists who face challenges getting into the gaming industry. The studio will leverage the power of the Unreal Engine to develop and publish their games, ensuring the voices of their dev team members are heard and their stories are told.

Snoop Dogg's commitment to opening doors for others is not new. His Snoop Youth Football League (SYFL) has been a beacon of hope for many young athletes, providing them with opportunities to excel in sports and life. The league has helped a dozen athletes make it to the NFL, showcasing Snoop's dedication to nurturing talent and giving back to the community. Snoop's mini-concert in celebration of his new album was amazing, I wasn't aware of his large catalog of music. He has 19 studio albums and over 30 additional projects. For the record, his contribution to the Olympics is proof that he should consider more work in comedy, and he dropped a line during The Game Awards that prompted laughter.

The Game Awards 2024 was a night to remember, filled with appreciation for the developers who bring our favorite games to life along with the amazing reveals. We hope that player appreciation continues to rise just as much, as it plays a crucial role in the gaming community that benefits the industry. When gamers are considered and their feedback is valued, it helps developers create better experiences and avoids leaving a bad taste in anyone's mouth. If gamers rejoice and feedback isn't just from Yes-Men, everyone wins. Now, let's jump into the recap of The Game Awards 2024!

Stay tuned for more updates and exciting developments in the world of gaming. Until next time, game on!

FTS: TUROK IS BACK! SABER INTERACTIVE REVEALS TUROK: ORIGINS, A NEW VISION FOR THE LEGENDARY ACTION GAME FRANCHISE

The classic dinosaur hunter is reborn for a new generation in this third-person co-op shooter, coming to PC, PlayStation 5 & Xbox Series X|S

LOS ANGELES – Dec. 12, 2024 – At The Game Awards, Saber Interactive, in collaboration with Universal Products & Experiences, revealed Turok: Origins, a new evolution of the classic dinosaur-hunting game franchise that began nearly 30 years ago. Developed and published by Saber, this fast-paced, third-person, sci-fi shooter, featuring both solo and cooperative action for up to three players, will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Watch the debut trailer now and get your very first look at the epic gameplay and spectacle of Turok: Origins.

Turok: Origins revives the legendary game franchise’s action and spirit while bringing it forward into the modern era with a completely new look, story, and gameplay. Players will take on the role of fierce Turok warriors to face off against ferocious dinosaurs and a terrifying alien threat that seeks to destroy all human life in the galaxy. Fans can unleash devastating attacks on enemies with weapons and abilities, and harness fallen enemies’ DNA to upgrade their arsenal. Players will embark on a high-stakes adventure — solo or with friends — to unravel mysteries that hold the key to saving humanity.

“Turok was one of the first console shooters I ever played," said Matthew Karch, CEO and co-founder of Saber Interactive. "When we looked at game franchises that we felt deserved to be brought back, Turok was at the top of our list. At Saber, we love taking classic IP and combining it with fresh gameplay. We are excited to finally announce the game, but we’ll be even happier when we deliver this old-school experience with modern-day execution.”

“Turok is an iconic game franchise that has fascinated players for decades. As we embark on its revival, we’re proud to honor its rich heritage while reimagining it for a new era,” said Bill Kispert, SVP & GM, Games & Digital Platforms at Universal Products & Experiences. “Rooted in comic book origins, this absorbing, adrenaline-charged series is truly one that deserves a comeback, and we're dedicated to delivering an exciting experience chock full of story, action, combat and creatures that both longtime fans and newcomers will appreciate.”

Key Game Features

• Fight Against Enemies: Battle alone or as a team against a variety of dinosaurs, creatures, and bosses that take to the ground, sky, swamps, and caves to push players’ skills to the limit. Engage in intense combat, where players must use everything at their disposal to ensure success, including melee attacks, special abilities, and fine-tuned weapons.
• Unleash Your Arsenal: Unlock and upgrade your advanced weaponry to dominate your battles and neutralize your enemies. Plasma rifles, ray guns, snipers, bows, shotguns, and more are all at your disposal.
• Unlock DNA Powers: Extract DNA from fallen foes and the environment to unlock game-changing powers that evolve your suit in real-time. Each DNA power not only enhances your look but also offers upgradeable skills and abilities to give you an edge in combat.
• Experience an Epic Story Across the Lost Lands: Throughout Turok’s missions, players will journey across breathtaking yet deadly worlds on various planets. From ancient temples and wasteland canyons to dense jungles, each location holds pieces of an unforgettable story that is packed with twists and turns.
