    Any guesses?? I will go BIG :D

    HalfLife3 (I know it won't happen, but dreams :))
    Fallout4 (this is pretty likely actually, after the leaks past week)
    TotalWar:Attila (I know its not premier, but more news!)
    The Division (again not a premier, but at least new gameplay / trailer must be there!)

    What are you talking about? No link?

    IMO game award shows are even more worthless than The Oscars are for movies.

    Game Awards 2014

    Previously was Spike TV event. I like it because of the trailers / gameplay videos. They are silly for sure, but the trailers are fun! :) There are always some nice reveals!

    Oh this thing. Didn't they have Samuel L. Jackson MC'ing the one last year or something? Maybe I'll watch a little if they bring Sam back...

    That was 2012 :D But every year they always put up a good collection of reveals, I am really optimistic about Fallout 4 this year :) I am not sure if the host will be super famous this year, but Kojima is confirmed will be there in person for Metal Gear Online reveal!

    I'm pretty sure Skyrim was announced at this event or one like it, seems to make sense we'll see Fallout 4 (Boston I read a while back?)

    Well, they sucked this year... Hardly any premiers, merely new demonstration videos, and mostly not even good ones.. No Man's Sky made the exact same demo pretty much, and if they wasted 6 months on this... God, makes me worried its yet another one of those "all footage captured in-engine" games...

    Only thing which caught my eye was the graphics in The Witcher 3 trailer appear to have been downgraded. Hopefully CDPR didn't pull a Ubisoft and this was simply Xbox One footage. :eek:

    That also caught my attention, and I was talking about this in a previous post, already demanding Witcher 2 + Open World environment + Masses of objects moving around = Ultimate Rig Killer? The graphics were seriously downgraded from previous videos, though I trust in CD Projekt Red, it just felt shady...

    I had to see it to believe it. But yeah, I too have faith in CDPR to do the right thing for us PC player (even if TW2 had a few symptoms of consolitis). If not on launch, I'm 100% sure they will definitely improve TW3 in one of their now traditional Enhanced Editions.
    Also, whatever happened to their cyber punk game, haven't heard about it in a while...

    Who knows, maybe CDPR isn't big enough to work on 2 games of such scope at once. Hopefully we'll hear more about Cyberpunk 2077 once TW3 is completed. I for one am very interested.

    I'm interested in seeing the Uncharted 4 trailer. I already pre-ordered The Witcher 3 so I could care less about that trailer. :)
