people just want to complain, i still think the first reveals of dark souls 2 and metal gear solid 5, is a pretty big haul.
PS Could not give a rats ass about Tomb Raider, new trailer, same old footage, of her falling out of a crashed plane and parachuting, game looks linear, and the character looks bland as fuck.
PSS i now care about the last of us, looks very interesting, seems to solve the whole uncharted narrative dissonance thing. Its E3 showing hurt it IMO.

That was yanked from the replays of the VGA's wasn't it?
I don't remember it taking this long for trailers to become widely available to view.

Apart from the 'glimpse of next-gen' that he said was going to happen but didn't.

Thanks for the Dark Souls trailer lol
It wasn't this bad last year. I remember they went after youtube channels that uploaded The Last of Us like HOURS later, i'm talking Saturday morning/midday. This year they seem set to go after everything as soon as it was revealed. Insane.
Lol thanks anyway tho

thanks. it looks great, but makes me sad that demon's souls is all but dead as a series now. I know they are essentially the same, but I have a soft spot for demon's souls and it sad to see the ip go to waste. sony made such a critical error not investing more into it.

Where is the link to geoff saying, "5 unannounced titles will be shown"?
All in all I thought this VGA's was MUCH MUCH improved over last years, you are an ignorant fool to think otherwise.
The simple fact that developers got to accept their awards and talk for a pretty lengthy time (no tea-bagger) and no Felicia Day eating cupcake contests.

Came out the same week as the award show, maybe.
AC3 DLC
Halo 4 Spartan Ops stuff
That all I got.
Those weren't announcements, just new trailers. Hell, they didn't even announce a new season of Spartan Ops. They just showed a trailer showing not yet released season one cinematics.
That was confirmed beforehand.

I'm confused, why are people still hating on Geoff and saying he's a liar? He basically delivered on all his promises for this show. Any idea?

I'm not anti-violence, but it really is striking whenever the VGAs or (especially) E3 roll around and literally every game shown involves shooting, hacking at, or trying to kill something in some way. Aren't there any other gameplay concepts or story ideas that the industry can come up with that aren't completely dependent on murder?
I know there are games that do something different, but you would never know by watching the mainstream gaming events that get the most exposure. It's supposed to represent the best of the industry and this is all that they can come up with.

it was extracted from us today and was said by someone else and not geoff
I thought I read something like eurogamer said 5 games.Man, he worse than I thought.
Edit: oh missed the above posts.

Hehe... I was right!
Don't worry Geoff, GAF is just scrambling to find things to bitch about. Thought the show as much improved over last year and very much appreciated it! Can't wait for May...
Because it would be pretty horrendous. But we do GOTY in thread form... and then we usually bitch about the winner.

Geoff, would you mind letting us know which game you had exactly in mind when you mentioned "old school"?
Also, about the "announcements", some/most of the games announced were already... announced/had footage (or trailers). So there weren't really premiering.
P.S: Phantom Pain doesn't really count. IMO, it's MGS viral marketing, for a game we already have seen a trailer for.
Yeah it has definitely been improved in comparison with last year.
I also can't remember that "5 unannounced game reveals" comment coming from you, but I haven't been following this years VGA and all the stuff around it.
Hi Geoff, i have 2 questions...
Where was the "glimpse of next gen"?
and
What was the "old school" game you were really excited about.
Thanks.
Those are a lot of assumptions about Phantom Pain, but it's not a previously announced game.
I too would like to know about this "next gen".....
Way better show than last year, not as cringe worthy and developers had a good amount of stagetime - and with the Dark Souls 2 reveal you won GAF's heart back

Can you confirm it has something to do with Kojima and/or "Project Ogre"?
P.S: And what about the "old-school" comment?
When will we see more of it?
(Btw, that was my tweet that's been screen capped, I'd read that quote attached to you, my bad!)

The show has taken great strides to getting away from the awful humor and appeal to 14 year olds that plagued it in years past so congratulations on that. The major complaint I had with the show was the awards being handed out on the carpet, it was completely disrespectful to the people who have put their heart and soul into these games to be brushed aside and not even get recognized in front of their peers and you could see in their reactions that they couldn't believe awards were being handed out there, it was even worse than reading their names out. Maybe next year you could do the pre-show again but have it in the auditorium and hand out the awards that are not deemed TV worthy before starting the main show.

That dark souls II trailer made me squeel like a little kid.. Shit, the music and everything ,watching the hero fall to his knees dying. It was dark souls all right.
From Software really knows what they are doing.

Mucht better show than previous years. Great choice of hosts, music artists and some nice announcements.
True. Also nice to see genuine gamers on the stage.
If the crowd is less "enthusiastic" in the future, you are on a good trail.
1. Why did the show end with Tenacious D? Nothing wrong with them, but this is supposed to be a show about videos games. End with an epic song from a video game at least. Why were people like Snoop Dog there? I suppose celebrities help with ratings, but it just annoys me. Also, "from 0 to nerd-gasm" really annoyed me. Couldn't she just say "from 0 to 10" or "from bored to hyped!"?
2. The Phantom Pain is related to Metal Gear Solid?

It did not and i'm not weighting this as a good or bad thing because i don't really care.
What's the need of having Hollywood stars getting involved? Why do the game indusrty always strides to becomes Hollywoods wagging tale? Some of the actors that appear aren't even directly involved with games.
I do understand you can't make a geek pleasing show exclusivly, there's a need to make the ceremony as wide appealing as possible after all. Yet remember you can use actors and talent that is directly involved with games for the ceremony. I.E.: Voice actors, writers, musicians. Samuel Jackson (not evaluating his performance) or Alba don't fit there. And funny as hell is that there's actual "devs" with ease of speech, charisma and presence. One of them was at your backstage people! And finally, use more virtual vid game characters as presenters, don't forget this are videogames after all
Edit: Really superficial suegestion so i apologise in advance. No morecrowds in the pit, it does not work. The cell phone swinging got ridiculous. Again sorry for the bluntness.
