On the 12th. Apparently a bunch of videos for games will be shown. I don't give a crap about the awards or if your favorite game or your favorite system validates your love by winning something but video game footage of new games is always nice.

Stolen from a GAF thread so I have no idea if he is right or not but the dude who is updating that thread posted this below.

Quote

Okay, so when they first announced this we found out who seven of the publishers were going to be and that they were going to have at least 11 games at the show. Currently, if we include Dead Space 2 due to Keighley's rather obvious hint, we have 10 games and only Warner is missing. Warner also accidentally sent out their 2010 schedule, so it seems we know what they're making as well.

So unless they have more than 11 games for the show, it seems this might be the final list:

2K:
1.) Spec Ops

Activision:
2.) Black Lotus

Disney Interactive Studios:
3.) Tron

Electronic Arts:
4.) Dead Space 2
5.) Medal of Honor

LucasArts Entertainment:
6.) New Star Wars Game

Microsoft Game Studios:
7.) Halo Reach
8.) Crackdown 2

THQ:
9.) UFC Undisputed 2010

Ubisoft:
10.) Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands

Warner Bros. Interactive:
11.) F.E.A.R. 3 or LotR RPG 360/PS3

Halo Reach footage will be in game it seems.

Quote

Halo Reach’s premiere at the VGAs next week will be a true, in-game showing of the title and looks set to debut 2010’s biggest game “by far,” if Spike’s Geoff Keighley’s comments on the latest Major Nelson podcast are to be believed.
“At the VGAs we’re actually going to be able to go down on the planet Reach and see this game for the first time,” said the presenter.
“It’s all going to be in-game stuff. This is not CG, this is not live action, like all the kids on Twitter are speculating. You’re going to get a first glimpse of the world of Reach, which is phenomenal.
He added: “I think it’s going to be the biggest game of next year by far. Folks loved ODST and thought it was great, but when people see the huge leap forward Bungie’s taking with Reach… Everyone I’ve talked to that’s been on the team and seen it is incredibly excited about that game.”
Hot shit. These quotes are pretty much the first thing Keighley says in his segment. Listen to the file at about 1.18.
The VGAs take place on December 12

Since it's confirmed Clarke will be back, I sure hope he actually has some lines.

Noooooooooooooo.

Silent Isaac is the best.

Cravis · « **Reply #7 on:** December 07, 2009, 10:21:10 AM »

I don't know about bringing Isaac back. I liked his character but Dead Space was more about the ship and mythology. It didn't matter who you played as. Plus I really enjoyed the ambigious ending.

It will be interesting to see where they take the series. If they set it on another ship it could be argued that it's just more of the same. I'm hoping they take us deeper into the planet and to where the Marker was actually excavated from. That would make for some pretty creepy and claustrophobic locations once again. Hell bring Isaac back with a squad of Marines and go from there.

I would hope it would expand its concept sort of like Alien to Aliens but if its just another ship crawl, as long as its enjoyable, I probably would be fine with that also.

I think Issac is shaping up to be an iconic video game character for EA, much in the same way Chris Redfield is for Capcom.

Outside of a handful of videogame nerds on a messageboard no ones knows either character or cares about either character. People are focused on the gameplay in these series. Laura Croft or even Nathan Drake they are not.

I never said he was already, I said he was shaping up to be.

And I'm pretty sure more people know about Chris than Drake.

Yes because one series is much bigger than the other. Only RE nerds know who Chris Redfield is. The same types who know who Heihachi Mishima is.

I won't believe anything until I play the game for myself. Between the Halo 2 E3 demo and the touched up "in-engine" Halo 3 stuff, Bungie can't be trusted.

Excited about the Medal of Honor stuff, though. Not enough so to watch this miserable tripe, but I'll look around for the footage for sure.

Dead Space is already action focused. You don't run from fights, you don't really scounge for ammo, you kill every monster you see.

cool breeze · « **Reply #27 on:** December 07, 2009, 07:00:48 PM »

If anything was iconic about the first game, it was how they handled the HUD, but I guess the parts you can show off are the visor and how they handled the laser beam.

Personally, I think it would be fucking awesome if they went Aliens on this sequel and did make it more action packed because you're now more prepared for the threat. They made a big deal about how in the first game you were using worker space suits and tools to fight off the enemies. There were military weapons, but those too weren't designed to fight off the monsters. Assuming this game takes a good bit of time after the first game, it would be cool if the new weapons were designed to fight these monsters. The suit in that picture looks straight up Iron Man in parts.

Not too keen on multiplayer, though. I blame Green Man. The only way this will be acceptable is if they essentially ripoff L4D and let you play coop campaigns with randomly generated enemies. Or Necromorphs vs humans.

Now for an interesting bit which I'm not sure fans will like or hate. It seems the makers are aware that people in the first game could only play 30 minutes to an hour always on the edge something was going to happen all the way through. Speaking as a horror fan that was fantastic, but the director talks about pacing. In other words, they clarify they are definitely not going to take any of the horror from the original game, in fact they aim to make it even scarier, but with better pacing. In other words, they want there to be times you feel and are more powerful than the enemies you're facing thanks to some new gun, or a situation you get the leap on your foes. However, they also want situations where it feels you have to do the impossible, cornered, scared, confused and fighting to merely live. They also say they want to put more "epic" moments in the game, and jokingly talk about fighting bosses from the inside, surfing on top of a tram, and fighting a giant Sphincter. These could be real situations or they could be mere jokes, but whatever the case they are planning for some epic moments. However, they also set out to make a scary game, and they want you to know that. They are trying to make monster comings less predictable, but won't say much more than that except they all worked as a team to make many genuine scares in the game, many original scares, and not just something popping out and loud sounds playing. They also want to make missions a lot more intuitive and interesting and not just fetch quests. More puzzles are also going to be implemented, and figuring out what to do.

Oh man, this sounds great. It sounds like there's a good chance it won't be fucked up.

As they would have a budget set for the game, I'd rather they were devoting their entire budget to developing the single player game. It's not that big a deal that I care to argue with you over it.
