You have to admit, MS made a smart move in securing exclusive rights for Titanfall. They know how to choose 1, 2, or 3 centerpiece exclusives that sells consoles and makes a name for their system. A game like this can make any summer drought meaningless.

Things like that doesn't matter to me. The three Polygon judges do not think en masse. They will have their debate and I'm certain it has been a lively debate on what game is not only the best of the year, but what game deserves to be ranked amongst the best of the generation.
No one knows how it will perform.. It's also on 3 platform with xb1 being with smallest base/community and mp only and new IP.
3 is not the majority of 23. The people they picked have done a lot of time in game journalism so I'm not worried. It's really a pretty solid list.

Your best bet is gametrailers or twitch rebroadcasting it.

Why didn't Call of Duty win GOTY last year then?
Why is this coming back up? Geoff already said that Polygon only gets one vote.
I can't believe I'm defending these awards, as I think they're FAR from being something to take seriously (the GDC Awards and BAFTA Game Awards are the only legit videogame awards we have) but these conspiracy theories are ridiculous. If GTAV wins GOTY it'll be because of shitty opinions (or good opinions if you like that game), not because of Polygon's idiocy or 20 million+ sales.
It is being advertised primarily as an XBox One exclusive. The hype for this game is fairly large and with the expected beta announcement (is this fair assumption?) I'm certain we will be seeing a lot more attention devoted to this game. It will be big, dare I say, it will be a larger and more influential exclusive than Infamous. Unfortunately I won't get to play Titanfall, but I'm interested in seeing how this game evolves and whether it can be a legitimate successor to CoD.

Considering that Rockstar is going to be there and they're going to have a musical performance by various artists on the soundtrack, I think that we're far past the "if" point on whether or not GTAV is going to win the overall GotY.
We probably won't even get a trailer. Just another damn teaser. Show us the real goods.
Because it was not the most well reviewed game that sold 20 million+. It was just another game that sold 20 million+.
Lets be honest here. Collectively, GTA V is one of the top two most well reviewed games of the year. The Last of Us is the second. The difference is GTA V was somewhat of a phenomenon. It was a bookmark on the last generation that came just two months before the introduction of the next set of consoles. It was a statement of what the previous generation could do. Having said that The Last of Us is something special. It shows us that serious storytelling is not just for movies or TV but can be made for games as well. If I had it my way I would cast my vote for The Last of Us.
Still, if any of these two games win it is well deserved and I certainly don't feel like I have a personal claim on the outcome.

Cinematics with snippets of gameplay like they did for the Uncharted 3 VGA trailer, but no release date.
I'm getting this feeling Sony is going to be thin on the reveals, which is frustrating to me. Since the initial announcement of the PS4 back in February they have been coy about their future AAA offerings (with the exception of The Order).
Didn't even cross my mind but it would be awesome if they did have one.

And even with The Order we didn't get any gameplay, even though the game was shown to Game Informer a few months ago. Come on, Sony. I'm rooting for you guys, but give me something to be excited about.
$500
Hopefully they announce some new exclusives for XB1. $500 for Titanfall and Quantum Break is a hard pill to swallow.

I don't think they will personally.
Microsoft have quite a few games announced: Sunset Overdrive, Untitled Black Tusk game, Fable Legends, Halo, Kinect Sports Rivals, D4, Project Spark, Max The Curse of Brotherhood
We're getting Quantum Break and Fable Legends info this month (FL not at VGX though) I think it'll be E3 before they announce beyond those games.

Erm, they have way more then those two games announced?
3 Hour event, I think there is a preshow since Thief will be shown just before the actual event begins.

Event is 3hrs long. 6-9pm EST.
Usually IGN or Gamespot is hosting a pre-show. It all depends on who's covering it. Not sure if GT will have a pre-show.
I keep forgetting about Black Tusk. Seems like another game I might be interested in but it's probably 2 years off.
Oh, word?
3 hours!? Whooa. Gonna be a long (and hopefully good) night for us in europe then!

I don't think so, they said they'll be announcing content more tailored to Japanese audience's tastes closer to the Japanese launch, so I'm pretty sure we'll be getting more Microsoft announcements over the next few months, although not necessarily at the VGX.
There should be a twitch app IIRC.

if they don't announce Fallout 4 I am going to shout at the heavens

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Hard to say. The most important point of interest across the first two games is Geralt himself and his personal lore, like the people he knows and his background, which will drive big parts of the third game's story. But it's not like, say, Mass Effect, where the "Reapers" are an underlying narrative impacting the entire story in all three games. It would be easy to get into The Witcher 2 and enjoy it without having played The Witcher, and I think The Witcher 3 will be similar. CPDR have said they want it to be a decent entry point for new fans, too.
If you can't play either game a recap should be sufficient, teaching you about Geralt's character. CDPR will probably release an official one.

Some people expect too much up front. Maybe it will be terrible/boring event, but also maybe they are just keeping the new announcements under wraps? If theres something new to be announced I don't expect them to say so beforehand otherwise whats the point?
Have some patience.

PS3 actually does not have a Twitch App. If your in NA, you can use get the "Live Events" app from the NA PSN store. You'll be able to view it there.
On the PS4, just use the browser and go to the twitch site to view it.
Just to put this completely to rest Hammond Robotics the teaser is NOT Hammond Robotics in any of those sites.....they are likely a highschool FIRST Robotics team that just happens to share the name
also that mysterious symbol?
Is the logo for FIRST robotics

Hammond robotics= Titanfall or Destiny?
The phone number at the end would suggest Titanfall.
I still think it could be Sony Santa Monica.

90% sure its Titanfall.
Geoff just tweeted this out

Pretty much Titanfall. Really hoped it was for Santa Monica's next game.
