Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Kind of hoping we get a next gen Transformers game announcement from High Moon.

It's cliche, but I really liked the Fall of Cybertron trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3E358n7pcI

Please... no more Evangelion flashbacks in Mass Effect :(

Both Shinji and Asuka embody the feelings of the fans at the end of the trilogy.

Love that trailer.

Fingers crossed for an announcement.

War and Fall of Cybertron were two of my favorite games this gen. A next-gen one would be amazing, particularly if it were a game that was much larger in scope than the ones we've gotten so far.

Rocksteady and High Moon are two companies I'd love to make an appearance at VGX.

Wasn't High Moon studios hit by lay-offs?

Still, The Fall of Cybertron was one of the few VGA trailers I actually remember. Dat Bruticus. Dat Grimlock.

Agreed completely. And they said they wanted to show Zelda at two previous events, but ultimately decided against it.

- They almost showed it at E3 2013 but didn't want to take away from Wind Waker HD and ALBW.
- Aonuma said he wanted to show it at New York Comic-con, but didn't have the time to prep something.

And don't forget that WW and LbW are both out now in America and Europe, which could be another argument for a soonish reveal for Zelda U.

Agreed.

If High Moon are working on a next gen instalment I hope they bring back co op for campaign mode, it worked really well in War for Cybertron imo

Shit, yeah it was now that I think about it. Like 40 staff or something.

Its either that or Smash, those two would probably be the biggest games that Nintendo can pull out that would get the biggest reaction from the hardcore.

Not to say games like Bayonetta 2 or X don't fit, but neither of those would have the system seller status for the Wii U that Zelda or Smash would have, and Nintendo not capitalizing on this would be foolish giving their current predicament.

I still remember the Twilight Princess E3 trailer and how it brought the house down. Nintendo need to start creating moments like that for the Wii U if they want to stand a chance of turning the system around.

That was incredibly weird to me. That's like one of their best studios, even if Deadpool was just meh.

After playing Link Between Worlds I just can't stop hoping for a Zelda reveal, even though I'm completely aware that the possibility of it happening is very, very, very slim at best. ALBW is so good, I just can't wait to see what Nintendo is doing with the next console Zelda. If it follows ALBW's foot steps, refines it and takes it a step or two further, I think we might be facing the most important Zelda game since Ocarina of Time.

Yes, ALBW is that good.

Zelda reveal is not that slim really, they said they could show it at E3, was pulled from showing it at comic-con, and they said they will prob show it before the end of the year after WWHD and ALBW come out, with all that info Zelda almost makes sense to be shown.

The games Nintendo could show that would hype me that most
Zelda WiiU
Metroid
or Smash Bros and say its coming out by June
 
Have to go to a Christmas party :(

Awww shucks, never had to do a big event like this spoiler free, so that sucks.


Think it starts at 11pm over here, goes on till 2am? Maybe I'll be back.

I just feel like we have to take those statements with a huge grain of salt. I think those teases might could have been very well just products of the dire Wii U situation: the people at Nintendo know that they need every little bit of hype they can get and the prospect of a closer-than-you-think Zelda game is enough to get fans a little excited.

I can't really imagine that Aounuma actually wanted to show Zelda U at Comic-Con, for example. He has been there as part of ALBW's promotional tour: Why would he show anything related to the next big game in the franchise that would take attention away from ALBW before it was even on the market? That's not the way marketing (normally) works.

I think trying to find any pattern or hint with Nintendo is pointless. They work on a "whenever the fuck we want" schedule and are highly prone to making whatever changes they feel like at the last possible minute. It's Nintendo. What they're doing at VGX could be quite literally anything.

please tell me this thing is streaming online on Saturday Dec 7th that is the date right?

Yes. Date, time, and zone converter is in the op.

Hopefully they announce some download only titles for between December 7th and March 11th. We need more games soon!

Also, I expect an extended QB demo, Black Tusk trailer, Halo 5 trailer and Sunset Overdrive gameplay trailer. Maybe a surprise or two like the Titanfall beta starting in February.

ok...I'm about to ask a dumb question....is Spike TV broadcasting this award show? I'm asking because I can't find it on my cable schedule.

The 2nd part is news to me, could someone link me a source?

For some reason it's not listed yet.

...wait a second, I just checked the Spike twitter feed and it says "Streams Live Dec. 7th!"

Then a few days later they'll have a 1 hour recap on TV. :\

That doesnt make sense, these were not things said in a Nintendo Direct, they were stuff said in different interviews with different sites. If they wanted to hype Zelda WiiU to get hype for WiiU then they would hype Zelda WiiU.

The game should be far along, its been 2 year since the last console Zelda and Iwata said they wanna try to get the next console Zelda game out quicker and not have to wait so late in the WiiU life cycle for the game.

With that said wouldnt showing Zelda WiiU early would give hype to the WiiU?

Interviews are as much PR as everything else. Those things aren't being said randomly.

Yes, that would be great but... I want a big surprise like a new Banjo ! Or somes news about Black Tusk or japanese games.

IIRC Sunset Overdrive is confirmed here in gaf by a guy who works at Insomniac that it will not be shown this year, Black Tusk will probably be one of their big E3 titles and I doubt we'll see Japanese games since Spencer already said that they are planning to announce the partnerships from Japan near the launch of the console there.

MS will probably just show a new trailer of Titanfall (Halo 5 beta?), a gameplay video of Quantum Break and a new in engine trailer of Halo 5...in other words don't get your hopes up people.

A new Geometry Wars would be nice.
