It seems the VGA World Premiere details are coming tomorrow. Maybe this year Busta Rhymes can show off a gameplay trailer for Trico.

Tomorrow we also start sharing details on VGA world premieres! I hope you guys like our lineup.

@geoffkeighley Will new games be announced? More than two?

@SalRomano Definitely, almost everything in the show is unannounced as of now.

Source: http://twitter.com/geoffkeighley/status/5788926629

Any guesses? I'm thinking Medal of Honor will be one of them. Perhaps Agent as well.

The VGAs take place on December 12th I believe.

UPDATE:

Premiere List So Far:

The world premiere of HALO: REACH happens only at the 2009 Video Game Awards, Live 12/12 on Spike.

UPDATE 2:

The 2009 "Video Game Awards" will reveal blockbuster global premieres of never-before-seen titles and break international news with announcements of new games from the industry's leading publishers. Game companies contributing exclusive new content to the VGAs include 2K, Activision, Disney Interactive Studios, Electronic Arts, LucasArts Entertainment, Microsoft Game Studios, THQ, Ubisoft, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, with more to be announced in the coming weeks..

UPDATE 3:

@geoffkeighley Epic Mickey? How about Enslaved? Perhaps EA Sports MMA? Why not Marvel vs Capcom 3? <_< >_>

@BigManFanelli those games have been seen. I think we have around 10 games still unannounced

Source: http://twitter.com/geoffkeighley/status/5849704346

He really seems to be pushing the fact that these games are totally unseen and/or not announced at all.

From Keighley himself on page 4:

Love all the speculation and guesses. We take never-before-seen pretty seriously around here. Lots of cool surprises in store.

We should be able to share more news soon - maybe even end of week.

UPDATE 4:

The trailers will apparently be of a longer length this year. This is a huge improvement:

I think you'll like the length of the trailers/footage. I'll let Bungie share more when they want on that topic.

UPDATE 5:

Take-Two's game seems to be a Spec Ops reboot. You'll remember this series as a group of budget line games for the PlayStation 1 that averaged Metacritic ratings between 30 and 50.

It's not Bioshock Dubai.

It's the new Spec Ops

UPDATE 6:

And the next game is...

TRON: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/tron-teaser-spike-tv/59382


UPDATE 7:

There will also be a new Star Wars game. Apparently there are no more updates until after Thanksgiving.

We're just getting started with VGA premieres. A Thanksgiving rest now, but a bunch more announcements next week.

Source: http://twitter.com/geoffkeighley/status/6059975515

UPDATE 8:

It seems our next two games are Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands and what seems to be Black Lotus.

Another VGA world premiere coming on 12/12 is Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands from Ubisoft.

http://bit.ly/6pfwOU Watch this awesome CG teaser for an unannounced game coming to VGAs. Gameplay at the show.

Source: http://twitter.com/geoffkeighley/status/6208555349

UPDATE 9:

Our next games are Medal of Honor and Crackdown 2. It seems with Crackdown 2 we're breaking the trend of only showing games where we haven't seen gameplay footage already, as we saw around 30 minutes of gameplay footage at TGS.

http://bit.ly/56FDcy EA reboots MEDAL OF HONOR. See the teaser now at GT, and the world premiere on the VGAs, 12/12!

Source: http://twitter.com/geoffkeighley/status/6275542460

http://bit.ly/6KdJMA Also at VGAs: First gameplay trailer for Crackdown 2. See a few seconds of in-game footage up on GT.com

Source: http://twitter.com/geoffkeighley/status/6275651803

UPDATE 10:

Okay, it seems UFC Undisputed 2010 and most likely Dead Space 2 are coming to the show. Also, the Halo Reach trailer will be 2.5 minutes long.

The Ultimate Fighter Finale just confirmed that one of the premieres will be UFC Undisputed 2010. Not exactly a surprising one though.

Looks like @deadspace is starting to come to life.

Source: http://twitter.com/geoffkeighley/status/6360855113

VGA heads-up: The HALO REACH VGA trailer will run 2 and a half minutes.

Source: http://twitter.com/geoffkeighley/status/6357415846

It also seems the show will have more than 11 games.

You guys are fast. Definitely more than 11 games to show.

UPDATE 11:

It seems there's no Dead Space 2, Natal, or Gem content at the show. However, they did have 40 games offered to be shown at the Spike VGAs.

They also promise some huge reveal as well.

I kind of cut and pasted this quote together if you notice the quote's order is really random compared to the article.

When it comes to gamers, the coolest content will be the game exclusives. While Spike chose over a little over a dozen, there were plenty of exclusives -- pitched by the publishers themselves -- it had to choose from.

In fact, Keighley said they had "north of about about 40 games" offered for the show, but had to make the difficult decision to pick and choose the best fits for the VGA audience. It's balancing act, he says, between offering up content for the hardcore gamers, while still appealing to Spike's more mainstream demographic.

But what of other quiet Internet chatter that perhaps Epic would be revealed Gears of War 3?

"What I can say on that," he says after some hesitation. "There are some I can't confirm or deny. What I can say is that I think some people saw our original publisher list and were speculating what games could be a part of that."

One reveal you won't be seeing, as some have guessed, is the recently announced Dead Space 2. Keighley quickly put his foot down on that one saying "it's not at the show and wasn't planned to be at the show." Don't expect to see anything from Microsoft on Project Natal, or even Sony's motion controller, codenamed "Gem," either.

"We definitely have some pretty major surprises still to come," he tells me. "Essentially, the biggest thing in the show hasn't even been announced yet."

[Y2Kev]

[SolidSnakex]

We've already seen GT5 though.

I know, but he said almost everything they have is new stuff. So some of the trailers will be from games we've already seen.

 

[DMeisterJ]

Announcement of "Uncharted 2"

"The next trailer is all, uh, engine."
:lol

:lol

I hope Resistance 3 is not one of them, which could mean a longer cycle to release. But I'm not holding my breath.

 

[-COOLIO-]

[Trevelyan]

Dear Lord, please let Twisted Metal be one of these titles. Amen.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Dear Lord, please let Twisted Metal be one of these titles. Amen.

That reminds me of Jaffe saying that something about the game could come out between December-February.

 

[Trevelyan]

I was thinking the same thing. It's the perfect time to announce it for a nice Sept/Oct release next year.

 

[border]

**Fingers crossed**

The cinematic trailer for World of Warcraft: Cataclysm....

 

[Deleted member 30609]

yuck; it's already time for the annual 'be ashamed to be a gamer' night, again?

I quit.

 

[jiggle]

KH3! FF7R!

 

[FiOSGuy]

Some random thoughts .... New titles that come to mind.

Road Rash
Burnout (Bring back elements from Revenge!)
Twisted Metal
Sonic
Seeing something new from the Strike Series (EA) ...
GTA 5

 

[DuckRacer]

Harmonix started development on Rock Band 3 as early as July, and if previous games' dev times are to go by the game should be released next spring. Assuming it does, I'm betting the VGAs will either have an announcement or first trailer.

I thought there was a quote out there somewhere about Rockband 3 instruments being so good people would learn how to play real instruments, but that it would take a couple of years before being fathomable.

 

[lordfroakie]

Hopefully the trailers wont be 30-1 min like last time.

HMX isn't going to wait several years to release another mainline RB, the very fact RB3 wasn't released this year is a surprise in itself. The music game genre is on the decline too, I'm sure they'd rather not invest an additional few years of dev time just for the game to bomb when the genre's popularity is low.

 

[cuyahoga]

Dudebros…I got the exclusive list of the hot 2010 games SpikeTV's gonna be blowing the lid off of.

Modern Warfare Dew wins by default

 

[templeusox]

The next Twisted Metal will be released on November 5, 2010. The 15 year anniversary of the original.

 

[cuyahoga]

In the tradition of last year's Terminator Salvation unveil, I imagine we'll see Game Republic's Clash of the Titans.

 

[Kagari]

Last year's show was HORRIBLE. Not expecting much out of this.

 

[AceBandage]

Last year's show was HORRIBLE. Not expecting much out of this.

Wasn't the best game shown last year Red Dead Redemption, which was shown in the commercials?
