brutal legend

The correct answer is Dante's Inferno, though.

 

[WinFonda]

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

And one of the premieres will undoubtedly be DLC unveiling. MW2 map packs most likely.

Hopefully we can get a 30-minute roundtable post mortem on MW2 as well.

is this one powered by dew or electricity?

 

[SolidSnakex]

The 2008 world premiere trailers were

Uncharted 2
Brutal Legend
Fight Night Round 4
Mafia 2
Terminator
Watchmen
GTA4: The Lost and Damned
Dante's Inferno
God of War 3
Gears of War 2 DLC

So they had some big hitters there.

 

[Y2Kev]

MW2 map packs :lol

 

[chubigans]

MW2 map packs :lol

You know what, I think you nailed it. :lol

 

[Unknown One]

MW2 map packs :lol

This is what I'm thinking also since last year talked about Gears 2 map pack.

VAG?

 

[adamsapple]

is this show going to be live streamed anywhere ?

Most likely on Spike's website through a Burger King® sponsored webcast.

Well, it was last year at least. They even named the cameras after Burger King meals.

It's a Dew-Electric Hybrid

 

[Rush2thestart]

I'm expecting many 360/PS3/PC games, most of which are going to be shooters.

I hope I'm wrong and we see a solid lineup for every platform though.

Last year's show was awesome. LL Cool J 'performing', Busta Rhymes pondering the benefits of in-engine cutscenes, Kim Kardashian calling Dante's Inferno "like, a book, or something?"

Glorious.

Nice! Please be gameplay! Geoff... don't let me down.

 

[Gilgamesh]

I wonder how much damage they'll do to the industry's image this year.

 

[iceatcs]

lol quote and portrait. Neat!

Nice, I hope it will be much more than teaser video from E3.
I remember there was last year website with uncover boxes of new announce, maybe it wasn't VGA.

Now, we know where the blurry screenshots of Halo:Reach were coming from.

I think you guys will like what we have lined up! But I'll sure you will let me know if you don't :lol :lol

I don't think it's the trailers some of us are worried about...

Announcing the announcement of announcements. Awesome.

From the PR, start making your guesses;

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..

http://www.prnewswire.com/news-rele...tries-and-territories-worldwide-70377352.html

I could definitely see a Dead Space 2 announcement from EA happening. Possibly a Ghost Recon or Rainbow Six announcement from Ubi. New UFC from THQ perhaps.

 

[AshMcCool]

And Epic Mickey?

 

[mik]

They treat "never-before-seen" pretty loosely. I think 2K's could be a big Red Dead Redemption trailer.

 

[Peff]

And Epic Mickey?

Most likely. Hopefully the LucasArts thingy is LeChuck's Revenge Special Edition but chances are slim I guess.

 

[Elios83]

I wouldn't expect anything more than teasers but I hope/dream Ea announces a next gen SSX game.

 

[FrankT]

They treat "never-before-seen" pretty loosely. I think 2K's could be a big Red Dead Redemption trailer.

Here is a possibility for 2K; the new game from 2K Boston. They have been working on it for quite some time now I imagine.

 

[op_ivy]

HALO: REACH <3 :O

 

[squicken]

They had something like 600k viewers last year. So a publisher gives them a trailer, doesn't have to pay for a TV commercial, and exposes its games to a large audience. I'm surprised they don't get every game in the world wanting to give them a trailer.

i'm going to stalk keigley and lock him in a cage in my basement until the twittering stops or veronica belmont falls in love with me

 

[Zenith]

last year was a trainwreck.

Neil Patrick Harris not having the card with the "winner" on it and some stage hand having to shout out a title.

Never ending music performances, and then in a 3 minute montage nearly all the "awards" were given out with no mention as to who the other nominees were.

 

[Rikyfree]

Lucasarts = Force Unleashed 2. You heard it here first.

 

[templeusox]

Gotta agree with JStevenson's Twitter here:

JamesStevenson: What? Spike VGAs didn't nominate MLB: The Show for best team sports game? Madden over it? Seriously? (NHL and FIFA deserve in)

Is this some kind of bad joke? This show continues to make a fool out of anyone who pays attention to it. Is it being organized by monkeys?

 

[Gilgamesh]

Here is a possibility for 2K; the new game from 2K Boston. They have been working on it for quite some time now I imagine.

That would be fantastic. I'm really interested to see what they're working on.

 

[SecretBonusPoint]

An impressive IN-GAME Reach trailer needed methinks, to offset those shitty looking Alpha shots. No more high-artsy scrolling background shit or smoke and mirror level-graphics you'll never see in the actual game please.

 

[BeeDog]

Aww, no Sony-published stuff? Was hoping for something new from God of War 3 and/or GT5.

 

[Vinterbird]

I would think they are more of less forced to show some mind blowing footage to counter the leaked pictures. The trailer at the VGA's might even be a quick and forced reaction to the leaked shots, so MS can show the game from a better perspective.

Why does it need to be "countered" or "offset"? Does the French Tourism board have to trot out the REAL Eiffell tower because some mope took a crappy picture of it with their iPhone?

Did anyone take those pictures truly seriously?

 

[FrankT]

Per the ODST thread I think we know what to expect;

Or maybe we'll plate up some of the opening cinematic.

 

[MirageDwarf]

Was there any meaty trailer last year? Only big announcement was MW2, a game which people knew was coming. It was hardly any surprise.

 

[Septimus]

Very first (short) video of God of War 3 was at last years. I think we'll see a new GT5 video.
