Spike TV’s annual Video Game Awards spectacular is known for showing off the biggest and brightest games for the future. This year’s awards show not only comes with a name change (VGX), but it also comes with some super exciting news – this year’s edition will feature the most video game demos and premiers in awards show history.
First up is the news sorrounding Square Enix’s plans for the big show. Two new game trailers from the game developer/publisher are on hand to make an appearance during the show. Karl Stewart, marketing VP of Square Enix Europe and North America, took to Twitter to tease fans about what’s being planned on behalf of his company:
Just reviewed the final cuts of both trailers we're showing at next Saturdays @spiketv #VGX. Amazing stuff from the teams as ever. Cant wait

Geoff Keighley conversed with some of his Twitter followers and released some details on what’s going down at VGX 2013. It sounds like this show is going to be packed with new trailers and games:

Along with these good news, there’s a slew of disappointing news reveals that Geoff tweeted out. It looks like we won’t see any new footage regarding the newest Final Fantasy games:
