The Game Awards 2014 replacing the VGAs, Reggie on the advisory board
The VGAs are no more. In its place? “The Game Awards 2014”.
Geoff Keighley is in charge of the event once again, though Spike TV is no longer involved. The Game Awards 2014 will take place on December 5 at 6 PM at the Axis Theater in Las Vegas. Tickets will go on sale tomorrow via TicketMaster.
Keighley has formed an advisory board that includes some very prominent names: Reggie Fils-Aime (President and COO, Nintendo of America), Yves Guillemot (Co-Founder and CEO, Ubisoft), Hideo Kojima (Director, Kojima Productions), Shawn Layden (CEO, Sony Computer Entertainment America), Peter Moore (COO, Electronic Arts), Rockstar Games, Phil Spencer (Head of Xbox, Microsoft), Martin Tremblay (President, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment) and Valve.
The Game Awards 2014 will feature awards as well as world premiers and musical performances, much like the VGAs. Additionally, there will be a bigger focus on game developers and the industry.
The Game Awards 2014 will not be shown on television. However, it will be live-streamed around the world.
