Spike VGA Discussion - ITT People With Opinions Disagree With Other People's Opinions

Oh hey, it's that time for the Spike VGA Awards again. It's starting to look like the Winter E3, pissing off developers as they have to take the time off to make trailers for their games!

The awards will be on Spike TV at 8 Pacific / 10 Central.

Expected Reveals

Halo: Reach (from the opening cinematic. Trailer will be 2 minutes and 30 seconds long)

Crackdown 2 (who knows)

new Medal of Honor (apparently stars a lumberjack)

Mystery Reveals

Hell if I know.


Also Burger King has made available some streams that you will be able to watch live. No word on if any of these will be the actual broadcast or if all of these streams are 'offscreen' quality.

Here's the site:


http://www.spike.com/event/vga2009

Of course, if you miss this you can just wait 30 minutes and all the trailers will be up on Youtube.

    I like Green Day but I don't really think they can support a full game the way the Beatles can

    and I hope this isn't a trend from the Rock Band folks, as while I am incredibly tired of the current music game format, I felt like Harmonix was at least doing their level best not to pump out a band based game every 6 months ala guitar hero.

    They're not actually doing a full-on Green Day: Rock Band, are they?

    Oh, and there's gonna be the first look of UFC 2010 Undisputed tonight.

    Hey man, don't throw the 'EA expectations' on them yet. They came out of the gates blazing last year, surprising a lot with how well done the game was. They might in fact do more with the game than the NCAA team does with their's.

    well the thing is, once you've got a base for that sort of thing there's not a lot more you can do with it

    and yukes is making it, and from my experience with the smackdown series, they're not big on earth-shattering changes.

    The script for that movie is actually pretty good, by the way. And I refuse to accept that a movie based on a game can have a game based on the movie of the game. It's just a new game.

    Game.

    Jordan Mechner did write the original script for Prince of Persia

    Don't know how much of that survived being savaged by corporate executives, but still

    Pretty excited about Crackdown 2.

    Also hoping Medal of Honor is pretty pleasing.

    Halo: Reach...ehhh...I dig the Halo games but ODST was one of the most mind-numbingly boring games I've played. I don't have a lot of faith in side stories; I realized just how much I liked being a Spartan, it was more important than I thought.

    Green Day: Rock Band pleasantly surprises me.

    Geddy Lee (lead singer and bassist for Rush for those who don't know) had said in a recent interview that there had been some discussion about a possible Rush: Rock Band. I guess they decided Green Day was a better choice for a stand-alone music game than a band with 18 albums and a wide range of music.

    I kind of like some Green Day material, but they definitely can't carry an entire game.
