Josef Fares put himself on the map in 2012 with a heartfelt narrative-driven adventure game called Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. But the developer has a reputation for not keeping his opinions to himself, and he lived up to it at The Game Awards tonight, going off-script with a lengthy, scatterbrained rant that left everyone pulling their collars.

Fares, the co-founder of Swedish indie studio Hazelight, appeared at The Game Awards to introduce a new trailer for his next project, A Way Out. He was also supposed to discuss some news: the game’s March release date and a unique co-op trial. But Fares, who has a background in film as well as games, began by telling the crowd how excited he was to be at the show — by proclaiming the superiority of The Game Awards to the Oscars.
