Recap: Everything that happened at The Game Awards 2017

From trailers to reveals to rants

The Game Awards 2017 may have stretched on far too long, with too many ads, and the show’s pacing still wasn’t where it needs to be, but you know what? I had an okay time. I’m seeing improvement.

Zelda: Breath of the Wild took game of the year, we got a confounding new Death Stranding trailer, From Software teased a Bloodborne-looking thing, and hell, even Bayonetta showed up.

There were some genuinely good reveals. But, without a doubt, the most memorable part of the evening was Brothers and A Way Out director Josef Fares being so riled up that he broke the Internet.

Here’s everything else that went down at this year’s Game Awards:

• A World War Z game is coming to PC, PS4, and Xbox One
