CG is pointless in a world with GTX 680s.
What? A new IP from Valve would be great, they haven't really had a new IP that's entirely theirs since Half-Life really. Portal came initially from a group of people from digipen right? And Left 4 Dead 1 was essentially a Turtle Rock game. A new IP from valve would be fantastic as long as it's not multiplayer focused, Half-Life 3 would be cool as well... I guess.
People bring that up all the time in Valve threads, even though it's still incredibly wrong.
It's probably more a question of what is actually ready to show. We've already seen next-gen games in Watch Dogs and Star Wars 1313 anyway. I also think Alan Wake (very cinematic action horror) is a pretty good fit for an event like this.
It's much easier to mock up a CG trailer than to have the actual game engine in a showable state.
Also, even if it's not technically CG early trailers usually tend to feature lots of in-engine cutscenes/canned animations/quick edits etc. so they're generally still not that representative of what the actual game will be like.
What the hell is going on with her pony tail? Is it alive? Is it sentient?
The pony tail bugs me in every video, it's just funny.
We won't know until he tweets and whines about it like a fucking spoiled brat.

I could go for a next-gen Deus Ex tease.

It'll probably be more of a shooter this time. I don't see them doing a straight platformer again. Not after the last one cratered at retail.
Even EA are not thatdumb. That'd be the most obvious mistake to make as it removes the only thing that makes that game stand out. If they want more mass appeal they should just put in more hand to hand combat or multiplayer modes or something.

Oh, they won't remove the platforming. They'll just add more shooting. And then make a shooty trailer. With a header with something like "From the makers of Battlefield!" If they debut it at the VGA's.
oh...makes the whole event much more interesting

Custom films? I know Telltales is doing a second season of walking dead, but it seems a bit early to show that off. King's Quest maybe?

I think it will be interviews.

It certainly would make sense. We know that's coming next year, and it seems likely that it'll be one of those cross-generation titles.

I think more of the comedy style shorts (such as last year's Nathan Drake in the desert trying to make his way to the show).

So this might actually be worth watching. Nice.
A few of those would actually be quite entertaining.

I cant think of anything that would work with Lee or Clementine.

Probably the list of winners who will give their winning speech via a movie or something like that. You cant fool us jeff.

If thats so then Telltale gets GOTY. Hopefully
Who is he trying to fool? Custom films mean short skits done in-engine with the characters from the game. They've done this in past VGAs.

Reading Hideo Kojima's twitter feed, it looks like Revengeance might be at the VGA's.

My bets:
-Telltale : Best award stealed to Journey
-343 : Best 360 game, GOTY
-CoD : Best shooter, best join the US army ad
-Ass Creed : Best action/adventure
-Gearbox : best shooter that I'm not interested on it
-Mojang : best indie overrated game
-Arkane : best who the fuck are these guys?
-Bioware : Best trilogy ending
-Rovio : Best phone game that it's out of the interest of the traditional gamers
-more : Best stupid joke award
-Journey : Best PS3, but TGC offices doesn't have people to make a video (some of them went run scared of Sony)
So here you have some winners. Now the question is who is going to be on stage to get the awards? 343, MS, Doritos or Mountain Dew? Hope they have a game journalism ethics award for Polygon, a $750K prize fueled by MS and Pizza Hut.
You do realize this is on Friday, yeah?

Ok, that sounds pretty cool, probably short developer interviews, insight and BTS as they talk about what they are nominated for or something. Maybe even some sneak peaks worked in.

Yeah, just a few hours.
I mean lets be honest, its like 36 hours away and I personally have been waiting 2.5 years to see true next gen! So a few hours is nothing.
31 hours.

To be honest, don't expect them to flat out say too much about next gen games.. if they do, awesome, but I expect just something like SW 1313 and vague hinting about it being on a new unannounced console. Then again, Destiny may show up, and it according to that old contract should come out for both the next gen Xbox and 360.. so maybe they will be a little less vague.

A Broken Sword 5 trailer would be nice, but that's unrealistic.
I think there could be new Beyond, The Last of Us and God of War: Ascension trailers.
Is Rockstar Games "Agent" still in development?

Am I the only one who understands that the term "next gen" logically means the generation after Playstation 4, Xbox 720 and Wii U? Since the Wii U launched, "this gen" is Wii U, Ouya, Playstation 4 and Xbox 720.
Yeah I guess you are the only one. That said, next gen is just a term for upcoming hardware generation of consoles.
yep, you are the only one.

logical as that is , no one is gonna think of it that way for a good while.

Many any and all promo art for LoS2 is just like spoiler central for those who haven't beat the first. D: (I am one of these people...fucking electric puzzle)

That's the definition of next gen that no one except pedants cares about. Everyone else just wants to see something that would pass as CG but is running in real time.
yeah, it's like George Carlin. "fuck getting ON the plane, I'm gettin' IN the plane". Shit man, just show me some tessellated shit already.

World-wide stream?! YES! Thank you, based-Geoff (cue pic of Geoff as a Mountain Dew/Doritos pope).
EDIT: Thank you mods who changed the thread title.
EDIT: Thank you mods who changed the thread title.
Worldwide live streaming is fantastic, but sadly they've changed the schedule from last year so the event starts at 4am local time. So does anyone know if there will be some sort of archived video available? Preferably one you could access without having to open for example gametrailers.com front page (because that will very likely spoil the winners etc. in a matter of seconds).
