that Thief trailer better be some fucking gameplay

I feel that Thief and Deus Ex, as two first person games where stealth plays a big part, would be too close together. I know they play nothing alike but I still think they will keep them further apart.
Isn't ME4 Montreal and DAI Edmonton? Nevertheless, that wasn't what I was trying to say. I worded it weirdly.
For our sake I hope it's not. It's been embarrassed enough.
Also think about it. Even if this was a good stealth game how do you expect a short trailer at a place like the VGX would be? It's going to be as dudebro'd as possible, even if the game was the next Thief 2 in gameplay.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Thief isn't Deus Ex 4.
From that perspective I can see where you're coming from.
Somewhat, but the bulk of staff moves between projects.
For example, BioWare Montreal is working on Dragon Age: Inquisition: http://news.ea.com/press-release/bioware/bioware-announces-dragon-age-3-inquisition
EA said:
The two studios are also making a new IP at the same time as Mass Effect and Dragon Age.
BioWare has over 800 staff though so they have a lot of resources to work on four games at once (since SWTOR is also there).
Thief is great if they can bring a gameplay trailer to the show.

Shows how much I know about BioWare. That's crazy. Thanks for the info.

Couldn't the Thief stuff be some of the panels that is happening in the recorded show and not one of the official reveals from Square?
In theory, but so far they've announced a total of one game we haven't seen tons of footage from already, so I'm not inspired with confidence.

Will there really be no commercials during the VGAs ? That seems crazy. :/
I'm fairly convinced that one is just going to be sent to die.

That would be the lamest thing ever considering that you can play this edition on PC since Spring already.
It is delayed past March anyway.

I really hope its not a new Deus Ex. Hated Human Revolution.
I am cool with a new Tomb Raider though.
I'm on board with TR also...
but you hated Human Revolution???

Why the long face? That's among the best news.

If they even show a Deus Ex 4 teaser I WILL BLOW THE FUCK OUT.

It's not a long face, but a legitimate question. Are you confirming that it's true ? There won't be a single commercial for three whole hours ?
What !? How are they funding this shit ?

Sigh, Thief trailer is good and all, but seriously VGX feels empty this year, I mean sure we will get some trailers from MS and Sony, but on the 3rd party front, not seeing much.
I still remember it, though it will be for a very small group, doubt it will be huge to appear at VGX or take a major front that is.

It's probably wrong to get my hopes up for a new DX trailer...
But God I'd love a new DX trailer.

Check the site, no commercials
It's not a TV broadcast to note. I assume the actual TV broadcast is packed with ads.

Pretty sure the entire show is essentially a commercial.

I'd day one a Tomb Raider Definitive Edition.
Networks have dipped their toes into no/reduced commercial broadcasts.
They usually find a major title sponsor and plug them every four minutes with banner ads, product placement, etc.
OH MY GOD WHO WOULD HAVE GUEST?
Outside of everybody .
.Well than be excited for E3 2015 (maybe).

Probably won't see that game again until next E3.
Which I am honestly fine with because I want to see a more final build.
you know what ? you are right..
Better to have few but substantial showings for that game instead of ripping it apart at every occasion like what they did with LR for example.
Plus they'd most likely spoil a lot of story since gameplay needs more time to be shown.So I like to console myself that its for the best image for the game.

Wow, that's great.
When are the VGAs this year ? You'd think their website would display the date and time, but no.

Not expecting FFXV or KH 3
Yeah, but I'm guessing they might have a trailer for that and then stick a teaser trailer for Tomb Raider 2 at the end.
A trailer for Thief is also not exciting at all given that we already know it exists and have also already seen gameplay. A gameplay demo would make more sense.

Interesting source you've got there.
If Square Enix Europe really chooses this show to announce a fucking Tomb Raider up-port, I'm going to be laughing so hard. If you want to look like a joke next to Uncharted 4, that would be a great idea.
