Is Saints row 3 still being revealed at this? Or what is going on there.

 

[[Nintex]]

Well i don't think they've ever shown off a handheld game at the VGA's, then if it's a third party 3DS game it's most likely to come from japan and i don't think they've ever shown off a japanese game at the VGA's, and if it's a game on a Nintendo handheld it's likely to want to appeal to fans of Nintendo games and those people aren't normally the same as the dudebro audience that the entire show is geared around appealing to. So i think it's extremely unlikely.

The only Nintendo thing I can imagine being shown is something 'everyone' likes like Zelda or Smash Bros.

 

[Lakitu]

I assume there'll be streams available on Justin.tv?

If Nintendo was going to be announcing something i think we'd see Galaxy 2 nominated in the Game of the Year category.

geoffkeighley Very excited that Jose Gonzales will be performing "Far Away" from Red Dead live at VGAs on Saturday. Going to be an amazing performance!

Good stuff.

No one knows for sure but I think its very likely.

Niiice although when I was playing it, I got off the horse and the song stopped. =(

 

[Mindlog]

Sold, even though it probably spoils one of the awards. One of my favorite moments of the year only topped by Lidell's contribution to his particular scene. It's rare that those constructed moments work, but Red Dead struck the perfect chord with me.

vvv Good info. I hope for ME2 they trot out some Batarian cosplayers and shoot them.

They mentioned they were doing something large for each game of the year award nominees.

I'm confused how they intend to fit this all in an hour.

It was two hours last year aye?

 

[Nirolak]

Hmm, I've forgotten actually.

Quite possibly.

 

[FrankT]

Yup 7-9CST per Directv listing.

 

[Neuromancer]

Two hours of shame and embarrassment, I need to start getting Mrs. Neuromancer psychologically prepared.

 

[Mindlog]

Two hours of joy and ridiculous comedic value. The only intentionally produced cringe comedy that tops it is, Todd Margaret.

Kevin Butler slides in so perfectly. We are gamers! :lol

BTW, special treat for Valve / Portal fans at the VGAs this Sat - exclusive new Portal 2 clip will premiere!

Wasn't planning on watching the VGAs until now.

Welp.

 

[Lard]

Since Keighley is apparently reading the thread, is there going to be a "Worst Betrayal of Analysts by a Game Company" award, given by Michael Pachter?

 

[Hey You]

Sadly,nothing really interests me this year at the VGA's.

I'll be watching for some top secret, unknown reveals that may interest me.

 

[ArjanN]

Wasn't planning on watching the VGAs until now.

Welp.

Meh, Portal 2 video, I actually want to see less of that game.

Everyone is already getting that game anyway. Would much rather see some episode 3, or even DOTA 2

 

[Striker]

Interested in Saints Row 3, please.

 

[Lunchbox]

is this where they supposed to unveil the Mass effect/call of duty hybrid? the screenshot with the gun dude that got revealed a few days back

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

What does the newest updated title mean? I see no reference to RDR in the OP.

 

[ArjanN]

Yes. The Bioware reveal.

Some singer will perform a award-nominated song from Red Dead Rememption live.

Yep pretty much. Those who think they're 'too cool' to watch it are really missing out.

Indeed.

The live GAF thread is always worth interacting in as we all watch it together and rage. :lol

Master Chef!

 

[Blue Ninja]

I assume there'll be streams available on Justin.tv?

I hope so. I want to see that BioWare reveal, and have no way of watching it otherwise.

 

[Nirolak]

I fixed the OP so it should be relevant again.

Sorry about delaying on that.

 

[badcrumble]

Portal 2 can't really be a "world premiere," though, can it?

 

[Nirolak]

Portal 2 can't really be a "world premiere," though, can it?

Well, if it is, there's something large we don't know about the game yet.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Really looking forward to seeing some MK Kratos action.

 

[Neuromancer]

Hmm wonder who the 360 will get, if anyone

Maybe import your Fable 3 character :lol

 

[Suzzopher]

Hmm wonder who the 360 will get, if anyone

Maybe import your Fable 3 character :lol

Nah, it'll be importing of your Avatar.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Nah, it'll be importing of your Avatar.

Avatars aren't used for violent games. Well I guess that might be changing though, considering the new Fire Pro Kinect game.

 

[iceatcs]

Nah, it'll be importing of your Avatar.

Yes. I want to see my Avatar finish off. Damn you Avatars.

 

[Suzzopher]

Avatars aren't used for violent games. Well I guess that might be changing though, considering the new Fire Pro Kinect game.

I'd love it if your Avatar dies in MK it dies for good:lol

 

[jett]

World premiere of a new trailer, I guess.

 

[EatChildren]

Well, if it is, there's something large we don't know about the game yet.

Is that the requirement? The only thing we haven't seen, technically, is direct feed footage of co-op. Footage is out there, and it was playable at PAX, but all footage is offscreen. I guess they could rangle a direct feed co-op gameplay trailer, much like we got direct feed single player gameplay?

Alternatively, it could be just a trailer shown like the Homefront trailer; during the adverts.

 

[Nirolak]

Is that the requirement?

Well, traditionally it has been, but they could have made an exception if they felt the game was big enough, quite possibly for the reasons you've mentioned.

We did get a Crackdown 2 trailer last year since all of their gameplay footage was offscreen before then.

 

[iceatcs]

Portal 2 can't really be a "world premiere," though, can it?

I think world premiere is not only just new game announcement.
It could be either new game or new "never seen before" trailer/clips

 

[badcrumble]

World premiere of a new trailer, I guess.

Yeah, I guess. I was pretty sure it had to be either the first announcement or the first gameplay/first in-engine footage.

 

[XGoldenboyX]

Where is the suposed Mortal Kombat HD remake ???

 

[SolidSnakex]

Where is the suposed Mortal Kombat HD remake ???

The last time I saw it was on a release list that had it coming out in the middle of this month. The fact that it hasn't been announced now suggests that the mid December release date isn't happening. So, my guess is that it either doesn't exist or they're planning on releasing it as a way to hype this new game, so they'll hold it until its closer to the release date for the new game.

 

[XGoldenboyX]

Hopefully!

 

[gutter_trash]

the PS3 rumored character for MK has got me locked into which console of choice I will get MK for

So much for the Rare will show Perfect Dark-something rumors:

Q: Hello Rare, i have 2 questions for you..
i’m a big fan of perfect dark and kameo elements of power, so my question is, will be they come a sequel? i wait 5 years for a new game only viva pinata become a sequel, this is very sad..
i have see kinect sports, this is great. but i hope you make sequels of the classic games … i cant believe that is only the game, they developed are for 2 years
Kameo Elements of Power was great, and only the best Jump and Run Game on Next Gen Consoles, perfect dark the best Shooter Game on the xbox 360.. so we want more classic games please
i hope you answered …
Harun Aydin

A: We did answered – we are answer right now. Kinect Sports needed almost the entire Rare workforce to get behind it because it’s new technology and there are so many variables, plus we built this thing from the ground up to take advantage of Kinect rather than just bolting wavy-hand functionality onto something that already existed. If there are to be sequels to the likes of Kameo or PD, they’ll come further down the line as we’re currently all about the specialised Kinect projects. I hope I don’t have to look back on this in a few years’ time when we’ve rushed out Kinect Kameo with awkward gesture transformations. Spin around on the spot to turn into 40 Below! No.
