Geoff claimed that the indie games were eligible for GOTY, they just didn't get selected as nominees by the judges. I agree though, the indies this year far outshined most of the AAA releases in contention.

Which current nominees would you take out? And which indies would you put in?
The jury consists of games journalists from around the globe: http://thegameawards.com/jury-and-advisors/
Unless the pubs do it the FIFA way and bribe everyone I don't think whoever backs it will have an effect on how the jury votes. Also, there are dedicated "Best Independent Game", "Games For Change" and "Best Mobile/Handheld Game" categories which feature a bunch of indies: http://thegameawards.com/nominees/
Ethan Carter, This War Of Mine, Never Alone, Threes and Monument Valley plus the Telltale games are all nominated so I'm happy. Otherwise the nominees in GOTY category are a bit odd (Mordor, Hearthstone, really?) and I would've liked to see This War of Mine nominated as a GOTY but ya know, you can't please everyone.

So he's claiming that after the categories were determined, an insufficient number of judges must have selected *any* indie game for it to be in the top five. Therefore, they made a new category and had the judges nominate games for that category? That seems almost impossible to me.

I won't be able to watch it live. Is it going to be a video available later on?

Well, I don't think there should be a 5 game limit to begin with. But I would take out Hearthstone at the very least. Broken Age: Act 1 shouldn't even be nominated in *any* category since it's half a game. I wouldn't even have a games for change category. This War of Mine should definitely be on the main list. I also find Bayonetta 2 a questionable choice (not saying it's a bad game).

Not actually that important
So I was thinking, seeing as this one will be streamed on WiiU/PSN/Live/Steam how will they handle trailers of announcements for stuff that isn't available for said platform?
I mean, will WiiU stream the MGO segment and the Demon Souls remaster?
Will XBLive stream the trailer for Metroid Prime 4 and Star Fox: The Coming of Ages?
Seems unlikely to me, but I'm here to ask you guys

Do you think we will see the first Footage of the new Tomb Raider Game (Xbox One)
Maybe MS also want to show something from their portfolio due to Sonys Reveals and new Footages (The Order, Uncharted, Bloodborne, No Mans Sky)

My guess is since everyone is on board and everyone will have something to show, everything will be there.
Or they could replace them with generic console exclusive clips.

Wow, I never heard of this until now. I think I'll watch it. From the OP, it seems this won't be the train wreck VGX was (although it was entertaining).
Should I expect new game and gameplay reveals from this?

It will still get streamed. The VGAs/VGX were on Xbox Live's media player during past years and still showed everything. The Twitch apps on consoles can't block competitor console content either.
Kinda. Off the top of my head, Metal Gear Online and more of No Man's Sky will be shown. I read that Geoff is promising 12 to 18 "world premieres", but that doesn't necessarily mean games that haven't been announced yet.
There's a pretty good rundown of the event as well as the following Playstation Experience event here:

And everybody lose their way.
Made a quick countdown timer because fuck timezones.
That's 3AM for us Euro people. 3 fucking AM.
THANKS GEOFF

Woah. Hold on a second. Have I missed something? Is this a real thing?
Same here. The way they said it wouldn't show at E3 2014 didn't make it seem like it was a year off. Hoping agent 47 breaks cover soon.

So excited for this, so around what time will the new thread be up? Not sure of the rules in terms of how far ahead of time they can be made for these kinds of events.
The entire show is built on the premise not having TV support. Only streaming will be avaiable.
You can watch it live via Twitch. YouTube, consoles and embedded video players on many sites.

Is there a place I can bookmark to watch it tomorrow while avoiding spoilers?
What? Here in the Netherlands we have plenty of doritos and even mountain dew!

Ugh. Would it have killed them to do it even a couple of hours earlier?

Hope it's just Geoff he does good interviews no need for some comedian throwing forced jokes out.

IIRC there won't be a host, so to speak. Geoff will just appear from time to time to move the show along a bit, so I'm presuming it'll work based on an announcer.

Ha! I was thinking the same myself!
I'd think we'll get some sort of Cranky Kong-level reveal.
Probably better for everyone if they don't say anything so that people don't get too hyped up that Reggie is going to play the new Zelda and reveal Metroid Prime 4.
