Not understanding concept of world premiere it seems?

I dont get what is so confusing. How is a new, unreleased trailer not a world premier on something unreleased to the public?
If they're showing something new then it's a world premiere.
Because maybe MS and Nintendo have something to show and I doubt they'll do it at PSX. Also, 3rd party publishers may want to show their games....
But it dilutes the excitement that comes with calling something a "world premiere".
It's like saying this post is the world premiere of this post.
Like it's true, but it takes away the hype.

True, but even when the VGAs were popular, there was never that many announcements/reveals of new AAA games in one show. I'm not saying there won't be any, but I think everyone should seriously lower their expectations.
Oh that I totally agree with for sure.

ZERUDA please Dorito Pope do it.
Thank you. Every one should understand this
I have a hard time seeing Nintendo showing anything significant off at any event that's not their own direct or E3 show.
In the past, the best game reveals at the VGAs have come from third parties like Bethesda, BioWare, TellTale, etc. Don't think the first parties are a huge factor here.
No. We have more of a reason to think it won't be announced this year. They said it will be a long time until they announce what they're working on. The fact that they felt the need to specify that would mean it's actually going to be a long time.
But we know it most probably exists. There's the fact that Ron Perlman (the guy that does the intro and outro of the games, as in, the "war never changes" guy) specifically said he will not be in Fallout 4 (and he seemed pissed in the tweet). This supports Kotaku's leaked casting script which says the player will narrate the introduction. Then there's the fact that, in an interview, Dellums said that Bethesda said that there's a chance Three Dog will return. Then there's the fact that Todd Howard clammed up in an interview when asked about the casting script. Then there's the fact that we know BGS is working on something, because they've said it many times, and they want a surprise announcement.

Uh, The Last of Us, God of War 3 and Uncharted 3?
It really doesn't matter whether first or third parties have a history at the event anymore, seeing as 100% of those unveils were done when the show was still on Spike TV. The best last years online stream gave us was two TellTale game announcements and No Man's Sky, so I'd set my expectations accordingly.

No, but 2015 will be 4 years since Skyrim. This will be the longest Bethesda RPG gap since Morrowind to Oblivion. It it slips to a 5 year gap I'll personally be terrified.

People have been predicting a Fallout 4 reveal since Skyrim released. Even game journalists keep thinking it'll be announced at any moment. Fallout has reached Zelda/GTA status where you don't have to even mention the game for people to hype up a reveal before every convention.

Has Valve said exactly when Steam Machines launch next year? If I were them I would also launch a new big name game with a 3 in the title for the Steam Machines launch, with say some sort of exclusivity period to build the hype. This show would be a nice time for a peak at some L4D3 or HL3, IMO.

Yeah I'm dreaming..

I'm still going to stand by my initial opinion: There weren't any reveals last year because there wasn't anything to reveal. We'd already seen the games that were supposed to hit in 2014...and about half of those got delayed. Geoff couldn't show what didn't exist.
Methinks the switch to a new system is to blame. I'd bet money that Fallout 4 isn't cross-gen. While we're on the subject, are Fallout and TES done by different teams at Bethesda? I'm pretty unfamiliar with them, and while I'm not a fan of TES normally, I'm still interested in seeing what they come up with.

Valve aren't going to do exclusives and they haven't said when SMs launch next year, if they launch at all that is.

Anything Nintendo expected here?

I hope that's true but I'm still setting my expectations relatively low. I never understand why people overhype themselves so much over these events, it usually leads to disappointment regardless of whether it's any good or not.
Personally, I'd be happy if they just announced The Wolf Among Us: Season 2.
It's a good chance to further advertise PSX. Finish the video early and tell the audience that if they want to watch the rest, they'll have to watch PSX the next day. Just look at the Batman: Arkham Knight gameplay videos to see Warner's attempt at the same thing.
No confirmation, but the teaser for the game from Robert Bowling's new studio will be unveiled on the same day. Would not surprise me if it is at the TGAs.

I think it is a fair thing to be irritated by.
In no other industry does premiere get used to describe anything other than first showing or performance. To do so with teaser trailers of already premiered games as "world premieres", is a misnomer typical of the marketing tyraid of video games
I'm pretty sure if this event is meant to represent an industry as a whole, it will without doubt contain games relating to all platforms rather than just Sony and multiplat, which of course would be nice for you.
I actually want to see games from everything - mobile, Xbox one, ps4, PC, wiiu, ds, vita etc. Why not actually celebrate the industry as a whole?
That's a lot of PS-related content, especially a few hours before the PSX.
Perfect place to announce Metroid for Wii U.

Hope Crackdown 3 shows up. I want to see some actual gameplay footage and the cloud powered destruction tech in action.
Also got my fingers crossed for a western Yakuza release announcement from Sony during their event.

Sure, I mean Captain Toad releases the same day, it'd be crazy if they didn't show off a new trailer for it.

Not really an exaggeration, though. The first three are confirmed appearances. The other two distinct possibilities.
