[Spike VGX Awards] Come for the reveals, leave with the shame

Wow, I've heard that guy's name tossed around a few times, but had no idea what he was. Why do people like that? I've never been more baffled by popularity, and I can't understand why any legitimate media outlet would want to be associated with that thing...oh wait, Spike. Any optimism I had for this event just flew out the window. I wonder who could watch his videos and sign off on something like that.
Reminds me of the whole Microsoft/KSI thing, really. Did nobody really look into what these scumbags are putting out and just approve them by the number of subs they have?

As if I needed more of a reason to ignore this. I wish they invited Jontron instead, he would at least put on a nice suit and sing a broadway number abd then it'd at least feel like a "Oscar level" awards show.
Eeee Tomb Raider next-gen is up on Amazon, Jan 28 release date. Yuss! As soon as I was playing ACIV and appreciation how much gorgeouser 7th-gen games are on the PS4, Tomb Raider was the first game that sprung to mind for an HD up-port.
Then Far Cry 3. I'd kill for Far Cry 3 on PS4.

wait, i thought the intention was to make it less like an awards show, with the awards just thrown in amongst the rest of the crap rather than being the focus.
No, at least the last two years they wanted to turn this into a serious award show.
The fun part is also always afterwards when Geoff is surprised people are disappointed thinking he gave them what they wanted. At least tgis way it gets a lottle better each year.
See the positive. Nobody in the industry got teabagged last year!

no i mean this year specifically. i thought that they were moving away from the 'serious award show' thing they had been trying to make work in the last few years.

Can't say that repeating Tomb Raider appeals to me much. Not that it's a bad game (I really enjoyed it), its just that I don't think its worth spending almost double (at least in the UK) for the same experience. That said, it definitely makes sense from a business perspective and is hopefully an indicator that we might see something new from this rebooted series soon.

Spoiler 1 - I think that'd be pretty awesome, but... seriously, how many games does one studio need to have on the go at once?
They have been growing and its not like their games need big manpower. Add to that the episodic thing and it gets more surprising, that they aren't working on more titles.
For comparison: Obsidian Entertainment is currently working on 3 crpgs + providing employees for a russian MMORPG project. All the while having 30 people less than TellTale. It's certainly possible for Telltale to work on three projects at once.

Is it Shoot Mans 5: Shoot More Mans?
Nope, one is actually pretty interesting (but known as a rumor)
Game of Thrones by Telltale
the other is the indie thing
FUCK YES! I'm all in for that, can't wait. Do they have any sort of footage or release date or was it just an announcement? Either way, that's a pretty big deal and I'd be happy to learn about it live.
Is the announcement of a game even a spoiler? Really? I mean, if it's a thing for some people, then a spoiler tag should certainly be used.
Just...really?
well the entire even is kinda built around these 'big surprise reveals' so yeah, some people want to actually be surprised. its not a major thing by any means, but it takes like 2 seconds to put in some spoiler tags.

Not even. Someone at Spike seriously screwed up and they streamed the rehearsal.
ok, so it seems that everywhere is using GamesTrailers.com's stream for this and for some bizarre unknown reason i haven't been able to get sound from their streams/videos since E3. anyone got an alt stream or a way to fix my audio problem?

Add me!
I wanna know

But, yeah.

This could be a pretty good set of reveals

Spoiler 1 - I think that'd be pretty awesome, but... seriously, how many games does one studio need to have on the go at once?
Also - I just looked at some of the categories.
Best Xbox Game : BioShock Infinite, GTA V, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons and Tomb Raider.
Best PlayStation Game : BioShock Infinite, GTA V, Rayman Legends and Tomb Raider.
Brothers and Rayman Legends are on both systems. This isn't making sense to me.
Also, Rayman Legends being up there at all is a farce.
Because now I can treat it sorta like an E3 conference
Whereas if I got tricked into arguing about the best game htis year with you guys I think it would get ugly fast
They're airing movies instead. I don't even
Good point.
nope, online only. i think they kinda realised that most people that actual care about this watch it online anyway.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Spike will be really bad at this too.
It's not like the shows problem was that it was an awards show. It's that it was a HORRIBLE awards show that completly missed the point.
I'm sure they will be missing it now too. The appearance by rapey guy doesn't exactly instill confidence.
I do hate stuff that attempts to pander to me
But on the other hand I do like video game trailers
And why is it a farce? I hear good games get nominated.

I'm an idiot, sorry.
30 minutes to go, till steam stream starts.

EDIT: nm, getting sound on Twitch.
Still worried about level design.
Let's see how bad it becomes. I will say that Joel McHale as part of the hosting is a great choice.
