The show is a brand new live digital multi-platform event which will not be televised live this year but will instead be livestreamed on the internet.<\/p>\n<p>VGX will be streamed across Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Twitch, iOS and Android devices, and will also be available globally on VGXLIVE.com, Hulu, Yahoo Screen, the Yahoo Screen app as well as Spike.com, ComedyCentral.com, MTV.com, MTV2.com, BET.com and GameTrailers.com. VGX will be live streamed for three-hours on Saturday, December 7, beginning at 6:00 PM ET \/ 3:00 PM PT.<\/p>\n<p>Spike TV will also air highlights of the show as &#8220;VGX Replay&#8221; on Monday, December 9 at midnight.<\/p>\n<p>VGX will showcase world premiere game trailers but for the first time ever, the show will offer extended demos of the next generation of games, 1-on-1 interviews and panels.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Spike TV was the first network to embrace the gaming industry. For the last 10 years, the VGAs have honored its creative community and fans,&#8221; said Casey Patterson, Executive Vice President, Event Production, Talent Development &amp; Studio Relations, Viacom Entertainment Group. &#8220;Until now, we have been limited to TV and a one way conversation with gamers. With the birth of new consoles and other emerging technology, VGX can interact with our audience like never before. This is an organic and exciting step for this franchise.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Fans can start voting for <em>Most Anticipated Game<\/em> on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vgxlive.com\"
