The Game Awards is a joke really. Resident Evil 4 & Spiderman 2 got snubbed in everything for instance. At least FF16 won best score, and Hi-Fi Rush won best sound design.
on one hand, this is Sega doing what we've been yelling at them to do for the past 20 years, which is acknowledge that they have franchises outside of Sonic the Hedgehog, so that's cool
on the other hand, the whole sending invites to FGC ppl did make it feel like the announcement was going to be VF related, so I agree that was kinda scummy
BUT... I watched the trailer and again and after listing the five games it showed footage for it says "AND MORE", which means they're not done announcing stuff so who knows, maybe a VF6 is in the pipeline and we just gotta wait,
and while they're bringing back old stuff can we get some Ristar, Alex Kidd, and some NiGHTS while we're at it?
