New Alan Wake and BioWare, MGS Rising locked for VGAs

[QUOTE="dreman999"][QUOTE="KC_Hokie"]Why not? They could easily create another Star Wars RPG. Lucasarts wants to make another single player RPG. They were hiring for it recently. KC_Hokie

Even with TOR a single player RPG would sell really well. There is demand.

After ME3 what does Bioware have to do? Their MMO division is separate.

The GOTY list is very varied actually...

Such a drastic change from the last 3. Can't wait!

• This year - 3 action/adventure , 1 rpg , 1 puzzle
• 2010 - 2 action/adventure , 2 shooter , 1 rpg
• 2009 - 3 action/adventure , 2 shooter
• 2008 - 2 action/adventure , 1 shooter , 1 rpg , 1 platformer

Uncharted 3 will win GOTY easily.

Most Wanted or Anticipated easily Last Guardian

They are NOT showing off Alan Wake 2 btw, its going to be the XBL downloadable title which is set in the AW universe but thats it.

[QUOTE="dreman999"] 1. It's up to lucusarts. Not Bioware. 2. They has Swtor already, and Lucusarts rather have people play swtor. 3. Bioware has other things to do other than Kotor.dreman999

VGa's where companies and publishers can go to pay off for some awards.

this is the same show that gave blood in the sand awards...the fact gears 3 isn't in the catagories is odd when uncharted 3 is since gears 3 was released before so there should be no reason for it not to be up there but what do you expect when sony buys developers and pays out for things such as this.

finalstar2007

Yeah totally Gears not there means Sony paid them to not list it, makes sense.. how about maybe the game sucks? they didnt like it? felt more like the same as the last one? didnt change anything? its just an overrated game imo just like halo

Yep, the Alan Wake announcement is for XBLA, not Alan Wake 2.

That's too bad :( would really like a true sequel to Alan Wake

It's remarkable how two games that have yet to be released are already dead set to GOTY nominations.

Gimme dat Alan Wake.

Yes but we now F-all about it. And I don't think it was ever "officially" announced. I think the premise got leaked and Remedy were just like, "Ahwell".

Spike's announced in a release this evening the next game from BioWare will be among several announces for the Spike Video Game Awards on December 10.

The new project will come from a new studio at the newly-made EA label.

Also confirmed is the unveil of the next Alan Wake title from Remedy, who first confirmed the existence of the title back in May.

Teases for both the BioWare game and Wake will be in the next issue of Game Informer.

Hideo Kojima will also be at the awards to re-reveal Metal Gear Solid: Rising, where the truth will "finally be revealed," according to Geoff Keighley on Twitter. Konami boss Shinji Hirano promised something big for the game this winter before E3.

Also announced were the nominations for the first two categories in the awards: Game of the Year and Most Anticipated. They are:

• The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

• Batman: Arkham City
• Portal 2
• The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

• Halo 4
• The Last Guardian
• Diablo III
• BioShock Infinite
• Mass Effect 3

They nominated games that aren't released? Yeah, I'll wait for the internet trailers. That's just retarded.

Skyrim is up for GOTY and its not even out yet, pwnage.

You'll have to wait for the next Xbox then (rumored as a launch title). Don't be so quick to overlook an XBLA game though. Digital games in general have been getting bigger and better. Karnage108

Yeah, I'm sure Remedy will make a fantastic XBLA game. I'm just kinda bummed that it's not a true alan wake sequel and will rather be a spin-off.

And Bioware's next game, presumably Dragon Age 3. Out end of next year, or start of 2013.

That has got to be the hardest list of games ever for Game of the Year.

I am also super surprised that Gears of War 3 got knocked off by them.

From Remedy themselves on the offical Alan Wake forums:

"We'll have an official announcement up in a moment but let me clarify that you guys shouldn't feel disheartened that it's coming to XBLA.

It's structured like a full release complete with a pretty damn impressive storyline that expands the originals in some interesting ways.

I really enjoyed it so I'm sure you all will too!"

This really sucks. Why get hyped for a 4 hour long game ?? MS really does suck lately. They stop releasing exclusives and then think that releasing a few arcade games will satisfy everyones needs.

I don't mind that it's XBLA as long as we get a fully fledged sequel at some point.

And I'm hoping and praying it doesn't have any Kinect support as was oft rumoured a long time ago.

MS seem to be tainting every new release with some sort of functionality and it's rarely good.
