They were doing 128 players 2 1/2 DECADES ago!
That's the entire point of Tribes!
the map is shaped like a hockey rink just to drive the esports intentions home. they want you to draft offensive and defensive lines and do 2v2 chases. the map is also huge by necessity for you to have room to ski and build speed which makes it feel incredibly empty whenever you aren't in a chase. its all very silly. i'm not going to say that the whole high speed fight between flag carriers and their escorts and chasers isn't one of the most fun parts of tribes, but they're going for a rarefied version of tribes where that's all that's going on and at way higher stakes

also I think I posted last week that there weren't generators because someone told me that, that's not true at least, there are gens. they don't do a lot currently, don't think either of the maps in the playtest have shields or anything, but in 12v12 you can go heavy and mortar their gens if you like

she is a significantly immunocompromised puerto rican woman who started streaming to like 10-20 people for a while before vtubers were a big thing, losing her career as an opera singer to CVID(not COVID), and decided if she couldn't go anywhere anymore due to her poo poo immune system, she'd start streaming instead. she built her community from the ground up, and has done a lot of charity work and support for smaller creators over the years until she absolutely took the gently caress off in the last couple years. I honestly thought People Make Games would take that award since they do good work too, but I'm happy she won it. She's done a lot for someone who up until relatively recently was confined to a hospital bed, and can now get around with help, thanks to her success she is able to afford all the medical care necessary now.

imo the idea of a "vtuber" is perfect for someone disabled like her. she is crazy strong-willed and downright inspirational, regardless of if you enjoy her content or not, she's talked about how dark the places she'd gotten to during the worst parts of her illness had been. to see her now, it's impressive as hell. I loved her reasoning for streaming, too. "I was stuck in a hospital bed and I've got a computer. what the hell else was I gonna do with my time?"

e: also thanks to being able to afford good medical treatment, she has healed enough and her voice has recovered enough that she can once again hit parts of her register that were inaccessible due to damage from getting seriously ill repeatedly. she used to have trouble finishing this song years back, and now, well:

That little bit of Space Marine 2 footage showed Marines in Phobos armor, so people are thinking that means you'll be able to wear Phobos Armor in multiplayer.

Also there were Tzaangors so if anybody was wondering if you're only going to fight Tyranids, guess not

You can probably find one on your favorite gaming blog/news site. Just off the top of my head, 2 FFXVI DLC packs (one out now), The Finals got released, Monster Hunter Wild in 2025, a new procedural exploration game from Hello Games, a Blade game from Arkane, a Jurassic Park game, a roguelike mode for God of War Ragnarok

This has all the trailers
https://www.kotaku.com.au/2023/12/the-game-awards-2023-all-the-trailers-in-one-place/

Highlights are probably
- OD. A game by Hideo Kojima x Jordan Peele. Going for a horror vibe it seems.
- Final Fantasy Rebirth's Theme Song trailer
- Marvel's Blade by Arkane's Lyon Studio (The good Deathloop devs, not the bad Redfall devs)
- Light No Fire by the No Man's Sky devs (Extremely over promised trailer :munch:)
- FF16 DLC announce and release!
- Monster Hunter Wilds
- Tales of Kenzera: ZAU an African themed metroidvania
- Dragon Ball Budokai Tenkaichi 4 renamed to Sparking! Zero
- Windblown by the Dead Cell devs
- World of Goo 2
- Metaphor: ReFantazio by Atlus and a whole bunch of Persona devs
- God of War Ragnarok free DLC - Valhalla. Out Dec 12
- Big Walk by the Untitled Goose Game devs
- No Rest for the Wicked by the Ori devs
- SEGA announcing 5 games at once - Jet Set Radio, Shinobi, Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, and Crazy Taxi
- Visions of Mana a new title in the Mana series

Honestly everything looked pretty good, but there's a bunch of middling stuff.

To be honest that Sega thing seems too good to be true. Sega back, with new entries in all of their best franchises that at least visually seem to capture the spirit of the old games while updating them for modern times times? No way, right? They're gonna be phone games or something.

Yeah there's no way they're going to be straight up buy and play console/PC releases. At best they'll have GaaS elements.

If it's anything like the Sakura Wars revival from a few years ago, the games themselves will be fine but then they'll make a really bad gacha game of each that crashes, burns, and kills the franchises for another decade
