And let me tell you, the lead-up to a night likeThe Game Awardsis always something else.

Incredible scenes of completely baseless hype, and despite myself, I wanted to believe.

TakeJudas, for example: the upcoming game fromBioShockcreator Ken Levine.

Antea, one of the protagonists of Banishers: Ghosts Of New Eden, looks into the camera with a grim and concerned expression.

And remember whenPreyfirst leaked and people thought it was going to be a BioShock sequel set in space?

Looks like that’s exactly what we’re getting here.

Plus BioShock in space is technicallySystem Shock, and both Prey and BioShock are themselves spiritual successors to that.

Good times; I can’t wait!

Or look atBanishers: Ghosts Of New Eden.

What’s not to love?

A male NPC dressed as an old west sheriff addresses the titular character of Judas, while gesturing around a flooded and dimly-lit room.

It’s not the diet of familiar comfort food I might have been secretly hoping for.

We also live-blogged the show as it happenedright here.

The title character of Judas fights a little rotund robot with her in-built hand weapons, against a steampunky indoor backdrop.
