Ten? That's a lot of new games.

not always games, They prob count things like DLC as reveals.

 

[Articalys]

Man, I know it's Geoff's job to build hype and all, but the teasing and viral stuff is starting to wear me out. Just bring on December 11 and let's get on with it.
Or maybe I'm just not cut out for the new age of video game promotion.
Looking forward to all the new reveals, at any rate.

 

[ULTROS!]

I don't think all of those are 10 new games.

I bet a few are additional reveals (like say... Agent screens

Spoiler

i hope

).

Thats still quite a bit, in my opinion.

I dont follow the VGAs though. Is this the usual?

 

[smokeymicpot]

I wanna see some gameplay for the new Batman game. Hopefully it gets shown.

 

[Nirolak]

Basically the requirement is that it's a world exclusive.

It can be either an announcement, a trailer of an unseen game, or a gameplay reveal, but it has to be something we haven't seen gameplay from before, at least judging by last year.

 

[Neuromancer]

Lots more VGA news to come - probably 10 more premieres still to reveal. What would you like to see?

Saints Row 3, please!

 

[Nirolak]

Last year they had:

-Halo: Reach
-Batman: Arkham City
-Medal of Honor
-Spec Ops: The Line
-Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2
-True Crime
-Crackdown 2
-UFC Undisputed 2010
-Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands
-Tron: Evolution
-Green Day: Rock Band
-Deadliest Warrior: The Game

[ConradCervantes]

Vanquish 2, baybee!!!!

 

[Defuser]

What are the chances of a PSP2 reveal?

 

[ULTROS!]

So... Is there a chance that a Japanese game would be unveiled?

 

[Router]

What are the chances of a PSP2 reveal?

Zero.

 

[lordfroakie]

What are the chances of a PSP2 reveal?

Wait tell CES or GDC.

 

[TheOddOne]

I think one of the reveals might be mappack for Black Ops.

Ok. Now I'm really excited. Especially after Sony Russia tweeted that Mass Effect 3 will be unveiled at the VGAs. It's not confirmation, but still.

I don't think it ever happened before.

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Mass Effect Something
Batman: Arkham City
Uncharted 3
Zombie game
8 other games (Though two or more will probably be DLC for Black Ops and AC and other stuff)

[[Nintex]]

If I have to make an educated guess about MS's reveals, I'd say Viva Pinata Kinect will be there, unless they think that the VGA's aren't a suitable venue to announce games like that.

I would play that. Oh man. Hitting the ground with my shovel. LET ME PET THEM TOO. OOOOOOOH. FUDGEHOG.

Looking at the type of games revealed... I doubt that.

 

[ThatGuy]

New Twisted Pixel title

This will be announced at the 3 Dec. already at Gametrailers TV.

I guess that we will see a first gameplay trailer of "Kingdoms of Amalur" from Curt Schilling/Ken Rolstons Big Huge Games.

 

[AwesomeSyrup]

Perfect Dark 2 with hybrid Kinect support please.

 

[subversus]

DOOM 4.

You heard it here first.

 

[Massa]

Kevin Butler confirmed?

Over at PSHQ with @thekevinbutler hearing his VGA world premiere pitches. We're on for 12/11! http://yfrog.com/48spvj

 

[StealthGoblin]

Kevin Butler confirmed?

I think so. I gathered as much from some tweets the other day. I think he'll either make a walk on apperance (possibly present best PS3 game) or help announce a PS3 exclusive in a video.

 

[[Nintex]]

Perfect Dark 2 with hybrid Kinect support please.

Perfect Dark seems to be one of the few Rare franchises that isn't completely dead. They've stated that they want to do another one and even Molyneux said he wants to work on an FPS game after finishing a sports game(Kinect Sports) so it's likely that there will be a new PD game in the future.

Also the Banjo team is still alive and kicking but this recent scribes entry:

Q: Dear Banjo-Makers,
It seems Rare has moved on from 3D platformers and on to the more popular and current genres out there (OMGOSH FPS!!!1111thenumberone11111!!11!!!!!11!!!1!), but you know, I’m okay with that, as Spongebob Squarepants would say, it is nature’s way. With that said do you guys still support the genre as fans? The few 3D platformers coming out now are generally on the Wii (Epic Mickey for example, I mean come on! You guys made Mickey’s Speedway USA! Which now that I think about it is odd because you’re stationed in the UK, but still if anyone should have got to make a Mickey platformer it’s Rareware!) but do you still enjoy the genre at your leisure?
Micro Moose

A: Naturally – we’re all still gamers, we all have our own tastes irrespective of what we’re working on. It’s fair to say that we can appreciate the likes of Super Mario Galaxy 2 as much as the next man/woman/Toad. After the experimental aspects of Nuts & Bolts, it was just assumed rather than stated that we’d ‘abandoned’ pure platformers. In truth anything is still fair game, but as we’re prioritising Kinect at this point in time we need to think about things that work best in that area. That’s how we landed on Kinect Sports, and that’s how we’ll whittle down the options to work out what comes next.

Seems to indicate that the Banjo team hasn't found a new direction(yet).

If I had to express the chances of new 'Rare' franchise(not Avatar branded) games in percentages...

30% - Perfect Dark 2, hybrid game? Interest from both Rare and MS but other attempts never made it past prototype.

50% - Viva Pinata Kinect, seems like a no-brainer and a short dev-cycle so they can bolster the Kinect line-up early next year.

20% - New Banjo, chances are they'll try to do something with Banjo and Kinect. Especially with Gregg Mayles still heading up the design work at Rare.

0% - Kameo, dead, Rare was quoted saying: "We should've canned it"

0% - Killer Instinct, seems dead, no interest from Rare or MS

0% - Conker, dead, seems that Chris Seavor is working at the Flex Art group now. Doesn't seem like he's a team-lead anymore after several prototypes for new IP's(?) went nowhere.

Rare said they had 3 games in development, including Kinect Sports. So that leaves two and I'd put my money on Perfect Dark and Viva Pinata unless all franchises are dead and they'll only pump out Kinect___ titles from this point forward. But that doesn't seem likely because they cancelled a Kinect____ title as well. :lol

 

[TheOddOne]

Rare's fitness game must have been good, judging by how Kinect Sports was made.

I think its safe to assume there might another casual themed game in development, the third one will (hopefully) be a known franchise.

I bet 2 out of those 4 are the new rumored Sonic game and a Duke Nukem Forever trailer.

 

[Plasma]

DOOM 4.

You heard it here first.

Surely that would be shown first at Quakecon.

 

[derFeef]

I said it before. But, Hitman has to happen - somwehere, somewhen. VGA maybe?

Sonic?

Viva Pinata?

...You do understand what Spike TV is right?

 

[StealthGoblin]

Some of these reveals have to have links to actual stars so Spike can drag them to the awards show. Movie tie in games incoming. Maybe Thor.

 

[[Nintex]]

Sonic?

Viva Pinata?

...You do understand what Spike TV is right?

Perfect Dark 2 it is then, good to know

 

[Elios83]

Fingers crossed for Uncharted 3 being there. I wouldn't be as excited if the Sony announcement was Sly 4 or Starhawk.

That doesn't sound very actiony;

According to our tip, Microsoft is using the Spike TV Video Games Awards (VGAs) to introduce some big action games, including new titles for the Kinect.

I'm sure whatever it is the tease will come from this with MN down at the set yesterday;

majornelson Xbox's Larry Hryb
At the GameTrailers TV studios shooting a segment for an upcoming show.

New VGA Teaser: http://bit.ly/g8ICYb

Maybe interested. EA tagged on that one.

Also I could see the new Lara game having a reveal here maybe with the Game Informer cover going live on Dec 6th.

Havent heard of Project Draco huh?

''On December 11 get ready to take on the planet.''

Doesn't seem Mass Effect related to me now.

 

[DevilWillcry]

http://twitter.com/geoffkeighley/statuses/7131706918182912

Shit, Sony must be making some big announcements if they are bringing out the big KB guns.

 

[StealthGoblin]

Excitement for that title depends on how much they've changed the game to fit Kinect in, and whether people are excited about Kinect actually being in it.
