On this edition of The Firmware Update, Joe & Malcolm are back after a long time away to discuss all the news from The Game Awards. And hey, founder and former co-host Tyler Lee helps to get the ball rolling on our own Game of the Year awards by hashing out the final seed for our upcoming tournament.

Talking Points: All the announcements, awards, and drunken rants that highlight The Game Awards; the best possible release date for God of War; the original Dark Souls gets a PS4 remaster; betas galore as we get a taste of Monster Hunter World, Dragon Ball FighterZ, and Dissidia Final Fantasy NT; David Cage is exactly who Joe thought he was; Yuji Naka joins Square Enix; Gravity Rush 2’s servers evade a premature death; setting up the 16th entry for the 2017 Game of the Year tournament.
