What a week it has been for the industry as the Game Awards 2023 has wrapped up, Grand Theft Auto VI had its trailer revealed a little early, and Day of the Devs happened too. Sean and Marc have a full discussion on Game Awards 2023, the announcements, and if there can be any changes made after the appalling way award winners were treated during their speeches on a "night that's meant to celebrate gaming." Could there a better balance struck between the two? Could the announcements and awards be separated? Is this all hyperbolic? Also, Grand Theft Auto VI had its trailer leaked early and then Rockstar put out the trailer themselves, with it getting a ridiculous amount of traffic on X and YouTube. With the series returning to Vice City could it finally spur Sean to give the series a true shot? What about what was shown in the trailer and the fact the game won't be released until 2025 at the earliest? Day of the Devs also had a special showcase before the Game Awards and Sean has some thoughts on the games shown. What's going on with Bungie, and could they become fully owned by Sony? Sean also has thoughts on the new Final Fantasy XVI: Echos of the Fallen DLC too.You can also watch this episode in video form on the W2M Network Youtube Channel, please give us a like, comment on the episode, and give the channel a subscribe and follow as well: https://youtube.com/live/Ha6cWRhBPoQ----------Links -----------Jez Corden's writeup at Windows Central on the uncertainty of Marvel's Blade game being Xbox exclusive or not: https://www.windowscentral.com/gaming/xbox/xbox-announced-marvels-blade-at-the-game-awards-but-could-it-also-be-coming-to-playstationRebekah Valentine's great report on the Bungie morale situation and possible full takeover by Sony for IGN: https://www.ign.com/articles/bungie-devs-say-atmosphere-is-soul-crushing-amid-layoffs-cuts-and-fear-of-total-sony-takeoverRadulich in Broadcasting's Review of Godzilla Minus One: https://youtube.com/live/ps0SjKV9VLkTalk the Keki's Latest Episode: https://youtube.com/live/-mP9AXlEIcARun of Show: START & HousekeepingGame Awards 2023 Reactions and Discussion about the event, the announcements, and everything elseGrand Theft Auto VI Trailer Reactions Day of the Devs (Game Awards Edition) ReactionsBaldur's Gate 3 gets shadow-dropped on Xbox -------------------------- Games We Are Playing ----------------------Final Fantasy XVI: Echos of the Fallen DLC (Sean) Small section on various games (Marc) ---------------------- What's in the News ----------------------------Low Morale at Bungie, Possible Full Takeover By Sony Could Happen if Goals aren't met----------------------- The End -------------------Games Coming Out this week: Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Arizona Sunshine 2, FF XVI DLC, God of War: Ragnarok: Valhalla DLC- Listen and give us a review on these platforms... - Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/ag/podcast/video-games-2-the-max/id886092740Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2wjd0u3xO7TdAm4gKRM44LAmazon: https://www.audible.com/pd/Video-Games-2-the-MAX-Podcast/B08JJPTZTWPodchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/video-games-2-the-max-181386Podcast Addict: https://podcastaddict.com/?podId=2465904IHeart Radio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/53-video-games-2-the-m-28438312/Follow on X (Twitter):Sean on Twitter: https://twitter.com/W2MSeanW2M Network on Twitter: https://twitter.com/w2mnetwork- Other Social Media -Follow us on Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@w2mnetwork2Join us on Discord: https://discord.gg/aydMgvUN9dFollow us on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/w2mnetworkFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/w2mnetwork/Follow Us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/W2MNetwork
