Talks about the Xbox live stream, which will be smartglass enabled. Sam Jackson will be able to talk directly to Xbox Live community, Xbox live voting will impact the show.(even more teabagging this year?)

Talks about some of the game footage from the big games coming out next spring, then says there will be games shown that are coming "far beyond summer of 2013"

Gonna be a video package where Sam Jackson is inserted into a bunch of different games. All the former hosts will be back to celebrate 10 year anniversary.(Jack Black, Zach Levi, Snoop, Neil Patrick Harris)

Will be available on demand for 48 hours on Xbox Live after show ends. Pre show will start 1 hour before.

Sounds fucking terrible

There are usually some relevant games announced at this thing. Stuff that won't even be out for at least another year and probably isn't worth getting excited for yet.

I'm guessing a new Bethesda game announcement, the third Batman Arkham game, and something from Valve, I guess. Or The Next Great Sequel in the Saint's Row Franchise.

So what you're saying is that the chance of anything of interest being revealed is slim.

Unless seeing a bunch of game journals and PR people getting together to jack each other off is of interest.

"For hard-core gamers this is the first place you will ever see those new games," says the show's executive producer Mark Burnett. "Imagine if the Academy Awards was on and they announced five movies that no one has ever heard of. That is the equivalent. You will be on a rip-roaring, two-hour ride of television."

I'll skip those two hours of television and watch the trailers when they are inevitably posted to Youtube within an hour of airing.

Man I'd love a great new Doom game. I mean I liked Rage for Pete's sake.

RAGE, despite it's boring open-world content, was incredibly fun when it was just a fast-paced shooter.

the first place I will ever see those games is when I refresh gaf after the whole thing is over

also, it would be pretty random to have 5 random movies announced at the academy awards and people would probably find it to be tasteless at an awards ceremony

People think Phantom Pain is a viral thing for Metal Gear Solid. Apparently Moby Games Studio is a Swedish developer, but no one works there, or something.

from its site:

I like how much trouble he went through to do it, and people figured it out in two minutes. It's admirable, nonetheless.
