Spike VGAs Thread: [Update: FINALLY a funny joke descends upon the show post #4807]

Anybody know what time this airs in England? I don't think I'd be bothered to stay up for this.

We'd have to catch it on something like JustinTV live. Last year it was aired a few days later on one of our channels.

That's a shame. I wouldn't mind a delayed broadcast the next day, but to stay up and stream it on JustinTV would be the only alternative I guess. Any idea what time it's going to start here? I hope it's not something like 2am.

I think its 1AM GMT.
 
How long does it take for the trailers to pop up on websites?

For really poor quality versions, almost instantly.

For the good GameTrailers versions, probably a few hours at most.
 
Rumor from IGN we already knew :

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. The headliner is Gears of War for Kinect, coming straight from Epic Games.

Kinect will be at the VGAs it seems, will Sony show something for the Move ? It will be interesting to see what happens.

If there is anything else from Microsoft than the "Gears gamepaly" thing, I will be surprised to be honest.

Some recent tweets by Geoff seem to hint at it, but, it's Thursday... we would have heard something by now, so probably not.

Pretty sad if true. I was expecting based on that IGN rumor, which looks to be right on the Gears Kinect front for at least one other showing from MS. That rumor suggests at least 2-3 showings.

@geoffkeighley Too many PS3 stuff at the VGA, K.Butler, Resistance, New Exclusive. C'mon! Nothing awesome and exclusive for 360? Not Fair

@Fernando_TMC Many games still to announce.

This definitly suggests otherwise as well. Come on Keighley give us something or just drop it heh.

Yeah, I've no interest in Gears of War Kinect, so I hope Microsoft have at least 1 other exclusive to show. They had Crackdown 2 and Halo: Reach last year.

Maybe we'll hear something today, Geoff said that they'd have a great world premiere announcement today.
 
Bioware Reveal
Batman
Resistance 3
Volition Reveal
Gears
Prototype 2
EA Game(SSX)
Uncharted 3
Rumored: Microsoft Game
Thor
Portal 2
MK

That is 12 right there and 11 if MS doesn't have another game.

Maybe the exclusive MS thing that Geoff hinted at was just an exclusive character in MK. That would be awful.

Ah that, naw. Though Jaffe says the exclusive character is Blinx. :lol

Stolen from the UC3 thread this is what is up for 2011 for Sony(well who knows if they all fall in 2011, but likley most)

Killzone 3
Twisted Metal
SOCOM 4
Resistance 3
MotorStorm Apocalypse
LittleBigPlanet 2
NinoKuni
Sorcery
Ratchet All 4 One
Plastation Move Heroes
inFamous 2
Disgaea 4
Uncharted 3
Last Guardian

Even taking out the move/3rd party stuff this why MS needs to start lining up their 2011 content besides simply Gears. They really need some decent stuff before Fall 11 to fill the gaps. They had 2 first party and 2 third party exclusives up until Reach this year for comparison.

That list is missing the probable western release of WKC2, The Team ICO collection etc. Sony still have Move games to announce too.

Final Fantasy Versus XIII (if that makes it)

Will there be an online stream? I'm in the UK and would love to watch it, so cringe worthy it's good and the Gaf thread sure does help as well. :lol
 
I just want to say how disappointed I am that Neil Patrick Harris is hosting this instead of Tricia Helfer. Tricia Helfer should host everything all the time.

Don't forget starhawk, that's 2011 as well.


I may be out of the loop on this - was Starhawk officially confirmed as the title?
 
New VGA teaser popped up. Contains another QR code related to the 'murder your maker teaser'. Gives a URL to this image.

Also has this fourth and I assume final 'zombie' teaser, again related to Murder Your Maker (aka Prototype 2).

Don't hold your breath, Rare went out of their way in scribes and recent interviews to confirm what we could've expected anyway, they have jack shit. Maybe Firebird(?) or Microsoft themselves developed something? The best you can hope for is a trailer/name(?) for that Star Wars game or something Forza or Kingdoms related.

Yea never really expected much out of Rare post Kinect push and especially so after that last interview. It sounds like they got notta going outside Kinect. Kingdoms/Forza but that is about it really and I don't see those games dropping until at least year end 2011. Well at least that long for Kingdoms and I'd be surprised if Forza was any earlier.
 
The IGN Microsoft rumour sounds more and more sketchy, because it said they where gonna show multiple action titles. Gears and something else are not multiple titles.

Multiple = more than one?

Well there are basically 2 unknown titles left and while MS likes to remain secret about these things I kind of find it hard to believe at this point with Gears they are bringing 3.

HELLER or EHRELL? More viral stuff I guess.
 
Just wish they'd start announcing a decent line-up. I don't care about Kinect at all, just like I don't care about Playstation Move. If we're comparing 'core' line-ups, then PS3 has a ton and 360 has 1 or 2... Gears of War 3 and possibly Kingdoms. That's it, that's just piss poor. If they don't at least reveal one other game at the VGAs, I'll be worried.

I think Microsoft is purposefully holding their cards close to their chest for next year's big releases, not sure why though.

I don't bet on it but it's still possible..Gears Kinect, Codename: Kingdoms & Forza 4.

360's next year sounds too much Kinect-centric as far as exclusives go and this most likely won't change - I hoped for some more announcements about traditional games but it seems that 2011 is gonna be the "we also have core titles for Kinect, buy it!" year for MS.

If Kinect didn't have the problem with the small-sized rooms I'd be ok - I don't have anything against Kinect as a hardware or as a control scheme but for some time I won't be able to get one because it won't simply work here...that's the main reason I'm so disappointed about all the upcoming very promising Kinect games (especially Project Draco). :(

Outside of a few cancelled Rare prototypes and games and 'long run' stuff like Remedy's new project and Kingdoms, what could they possibly have in development besides another Halo game?

Save Forza, and what looks to be a shopped out PGR can't think of a thing. Next Lionhead game is likely 2012 as well. Oh well and Crackdown 3, but got to be 2012 as well.
 
Saturday is too far away. Hurry up! :D

On a more on-topic note, happy to see Uncharted 3 revealed. Really enjoyed the first two, can't wait for numero tres.
 
now with we knew most of the game , and Uncharted 3 announced and got a teaser already , only Saint's Row 3 can save Spike's VGA.


that or GTA5.

Lionhead had a third project in development. No idea when it's finished tho.

Which IGN Microsoft rumor?

You're forgetting about Forza, a handful of third party games and TGS Kinect games which are also core titles. Of course, you might not be interested in any Kinect games, core or not...

Apparently there's also a new RPG being developed by feelplus.

Anything? New IPs, older stuff that we haven't seen on the 360 yet or sequels to earlier 360 games (Blue Dragon? Lost Odyssey? Halo Wars? Even - brace yourself - Too Human). It doesn't have to be something developed in-house, Microsoft loves collaborating with independents.
