Guest CronoT Report post Posted November 15, 2004 Spike TV's second annual video game awards, or VGA's, are going to be on Dec. 14th. So, does anyone else think it's going to suck outloud like it did last year? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lightning Flik 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2004 That's like my dentist tells me a lot of work needs to be done on my teeth; when I've got two shattered molers that need to be taken out. ...in other words, yes, this will suck. A lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lil' Bitch 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2004 Well, Snoop Dog will be hosting this year so that should be fun. All I'm asking for is for them to have at least acceptance speeches, they don't even have to be long. Just make it feel like an awards show! Oh hopefully some better music guests unlike last year with the lady who does the fucking Milkshake song. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh hopefully some better music guests unlike last year with the lady who does the fucking Milkshake song. Also, maybe they can actually have some quality games in categories. When Madden Football or whatever it was won Game of the Year, and Tony Hawk Underground (I think) wins Sports Game of the Year, something is definitely fucked up. Although, chances are it will be an all Halo 2 Fanboy vote. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2004 Preview of the VGAs: "The Game of the Year is...Madden 2005!!! Now, the nominees for best CG boobies in a video game are..." In short, the answer is "no." Naturally, the fighting game of the year will be Mortal Kombat: Deception. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ted the Poster 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2004 I'm saying it's good in the sense that the game is easy enough to master that online mode is hilariously fun. Graphics aren't too bad though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lightning Flik 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2004 Wouldn't Def Jam Fight for New York count for fighting games? Regardless, MKD winning is likely a formality. Fighting For NY would count as a fighting game. However, MKD would probably win hands down unless Def Jam paid them a shitload of money. Still, I ain't watching this. I'd rather work on producing TSM's Video Game Awards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2004 The categories are up with nominees and you can vote now. The design to do so is really, really awful, though: http://www.spiketv.com/events/vga2004/ The fighting game nominees are DOA: U, Def Jam, FFNY, Fight Night 2004, MK:D, and Smackdown vs. Raw. Maybe I was wrong, and Fight Night will win that award... Hell, I'd almost have to vote for MKD based on those selections. Shock--Katamari Damacy is nominated...for best soundtrack.

Slayer 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2004 The only good thing about the Spike VGA show last year was that it was preceded by an all-day MXC marathon Wonder if they'll do that again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Best gaming publication" includes Game Informer, Official Playstation Magazine and Official XBOX Magazine--meh. "Best Song" (separate from best Soundtrack) doesn't actually let you preview any of the song selections, just pics/trailers from the game it is from. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest CronoT Report post Posted November 16, 2004 I just checked out the categories and the nominees. It's definitely going to be an all fanboy Awards show. Halo 2 all over the place, and not a mention of Rainbow Six 3, Rinbow Six 3: Black Arrow, or Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow. The only bright spot is that all of the Handheld nominees are for the GBA. Finally, someone's admitting that the N-Gage and the N-Gage QD are pieces of shit. As for RPG of the year, please don't make me laugh. The ONLY game there that deserves to be there is Fable. Where the fuck is Star Ocean 3? Or any of the .Hack games? This Awards show has a complete lack of legitimacy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted November 16, 2004 Wow, that's got to be the worst selection of games to vote for. Doom 3 and Half-Life 2 are the only choices for PC game of the year? Madden 2005 and ESPN2K4 are the only sports options? I won't even go into the non-RPGs nominated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2004 It seems they quietly killed write-in votes as well. I distinctly remember writing in votes for Ratchet & Clank 2 and Aria of Sorrow in their respective categories. Doom 3 and Half-Life 2 are the only choices for PC game of the year? They're the only ones the mainstream cares about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
