VGA Show Live Now!:
Pre-Show

Decided to make a general thread about the Video Game Awards, airing today on Spike TV.

The Video Game Awards air at 9 PM Eastern Time today. That would be 6 PM Pacific Time, 7 PM Mountain Time, and 8 PM Central. The Pre-show starts one hour earlier. You can watch the VGA's by either tuning into Spike TV on cable, watching the stream directly from your Xbox, or streaming from GameTrailers.

The VGA are apparently set to be the world premier/reveal of 5 unannounced video games.

new trailers for already announced games such as The Last of Us will be shown, as will five debut trailers.
- Source: USA Today

The confirmed games that'll have premiers/trailers today are Sony's The Last of Us, THQ's South Park The Stick Of Truth, Microsoft's Gears Of War Judgment, Konami's Castlevania: Lord Of Shadows 2, 2K's Bioshock Infinite, and Square Enix's Tomb Raider.

Also, being shown apparently, according to Geoff Keighley, is a sneak peek at the next generation of gaming, PS4/Next Xbox reveal maybe?

As for the actual awards, the nomination for Game Of The Year are Assassin's Creed III, Dishonored, Journey, Mass Effect 3, and The Walking Dead: The Game.

You can see the rest of the awards and nominations at http://www.spike.com/events/video-game-awards-2012-nominees/v oting/game-of-the-year

I didn't even realize there was a countdown. Makes more sense, though.

It's actually at 9pm Eastern/6 pm Pacific, an hour later than your OP says. Just so people don't get the times confused.

So roughly three hours from now?

I swear to DRUNK, I'm not GOD!

Halo 4 for best graphics? With all the texture pop-ins and the horrible performance in split-screen even AFTER you install the game to the HDD? LOL what a JOKE

PlanetSide 2 is also not on here anywhere, which is a major disappointment, but maybe they disqualified it because it came out so recently?

And the worst part: Assasin's Creed 3, Borderlands 2, and Dishonored are ALL multiplatform games... so what are they doing in the GOTY category for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3? The console-exclusives this year weren't THAT disappointing, were they?

Furthermore: Mass Effect 3 is listed as an RPG (lol) but Diablo 3 is omitted from the category. BlackOps and Halo 4 are listed for best musical score (SERIOUSLY!? Halo in particular doesn't belong on here.) Day Z should also have been on the Independent list. And does anybody else find it funny that Battlefield 3 isn't even mentioned in the Best DLC list? They flogged that dead horse to death with all the ads everywhere, but they don't even get nominated for an award.

Really unimpressive lineup to end an unimpressive year in the game industry where the only real highlights were the release of PlanetSide 2, the Wii U, and the release of information that Microsoft and Sony will FINALLY make new consoles next year to replace their outdated hardware.

TL;DR: Unimpressed.

Yes. Pre-show starts in 2 hours from now, but the actual show itself starts 3 hours from now at 9pm EST/6 pm PDT.

Halo 3 is where the morons of the universe congregates.

I am thinking of an old story. "Three Billy Goats Gruff" (hint the troll dies at the end)

Here's hoping to its victory then

Ahh, my bad. Got the times messed up because the front ad on the dashboard says 8PM Eastern, apparently that's the pre-show. OP updated, thanks spawn.

Dating Age

For those looking to vent, get proper advice, or give it to those in need.

New consoles at the VGA's? Not a chance. Microsoft and Sony aren't announcing their next multi-billion dollar projects on a Friday night at the video game awards.

What does next gen even mean? It's vague nonsense they say every year. At best one of the reveals is "take a new look at Unreal Engine 4" or some other game engine.

As for the reveals the sorta leaked Yoshi's Land may be there. Saints Row, Just Cause, inFamous, and Battlefield are possibilities.

The Fallout 4 hopes are reaching it. Half-Life 3 is just people deluding themselves.

That's around lunchtime for me, I should be able to see it. Thankyou, good sir.

No next gen consoles. Next gen games, but not consoles.

I think the shocker of the night (speculation) will be Respawn Entertainment's new game.

Which would make it all the more hilarious if they actually show it.

  • 12.07.2012 3:04 PM PDT

What's Up.

It would be awesome if Telltale has a teaser for The Walking Dead season 2! But it's probably way too soon for that. Bioshock Infinite and Tomb Raider are good enough for me!

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Even if Bungie is not "there", I hope a trailer for Destiny is.
