| SJReiter said: It doesn't necessarily have to be Keighley who annouces the tribute. I remember last year Reggie did quite a bit of presenting, so he could easily be the one who presents the tribute. I could see them using Kondo for a musical tribute. It could work well. And while I agree that it would be a somber tone for an event such as The Game Awards, it's not unusual for award shows to have tributes for those who passed away during the past year. On the other point about Zelda, I was actually thinking they could show off new footage while poking fun at themselves about the 2015 release declaration last year. It's something that could work if pulled off correctly. |
I just meant that because it's Keighley's show, it's up to him to decide whether to do this and how to go about it. It would be a first for an event like this in the games industry. Bringing up other award shows raises an interesting point -- on the Oscars, for instance, they pay respects to every member of the industry who passes away during the previous year without singling anyone out in particular. This is different. It is the sort of thing that could take the place of last year's Sierra event, I suppose.
