[Vandole]

wanna link to the win of justin wong for kof xiii? i googled and the only thing i found was him placing fourth at NEC.justin wong played MK for two weeks and then won pdp nationals. he didnt play kof 13 for two weeks and win a huge tournament like that. i played MK enough to justify not wanting to purchase it, and any stream i watched after continued to verify why i'm glad i didnt purchase it. i dont know about you, but i don't play games i dont enjoy in the "first couple of hours."

JWong would get fucking wrecked against top KOFXIII players lol.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh, I thought it was decent. Just look at the previous years, it was fucking disgusting. Overall the dude Levi or w/e did a pretty decent job, the writing could have been better but eh.

Who the fuck is felicia bay, btw?

[Avarice]

PC exclusive 2013 but ORIGIN ONRY

I'm so glad I wasn't the only one to notice this when I was watching.

Spooky uploaded his play and yeah, I think he got 4th in NEC and that shit wasn't even close lol

and Felicia Bay? Needs more Felicia Day. She's just a chick who does this web show on youtube, was in Dr. Horrible's Singalong-Blog.. and a couple other things. Mostly she's just a gamer chick people like.

and yeah, Zachary Levi.. he's on 'Chuck' as the main lead. Dude's pretty awesome and unlike NPH last year (who is still awesome) actually plays video games so knows wtf.

Looks like 'The Road' with too much saturated colors (less scary/less bleak as a result), as a video game. And is that girl Ellen Page? The dude could pass for Viggo too.

Following a night of performing live at the Video Game Awards on SpikeTV, famed DJ Deadmau5 apparently left a yet-to-be-released PS Vita sitting in a L.A. cab.

Joel "Deadmau5" Zimmerman tweeted about the loss shortly before 1 a.m. pacific time.
"FUCK! I left my PSP Vita in a fuckin cab, calling cab company and they say they have like 500 dispatched now. Gunna be a long night... "

In a stream of follow-up Tweets, the DJ says that the Vita was the only demo unit "outside Sony's walls." While we're sure that there are plenty of VIta's in developers' hands, Deadmau5 may be right in saying he's the only non-developer who has... had one.

Zimmerman said he was playing with the Sony portable during the cab ride back to the hotel. He said a friend used it, then put it down beside him when he was done. The DJ said he saw it on the seat but forgot to grab it. When they arrived at the hotel, Zimmerman paid cash and stepped out, leaving the unit behind.

Following the loss, Zimmerman and his agent spent three hours working with the cab company to try and locate the demo unit, but with no luck.

At least he didn't leave it in a bar.

We've contacted Sony for comment.

lololol

That Rising game isn't even an MGS from what it looks like...looks like a GoW type game. Unless there is story related to MGS (which I hope since I believe that's Raiden), I probably won't bother playing it.

GoW? How dare you insult P+ like that.

[Odesseiron]

lol "Femshep", what a stupid ass moniker. VGA's are the most fake/staged/payed off/mainstream bullshit, none of the PC game of the year games were exclusive other than the game that deserved it the MOST, Witcher 2.

Game of the year overall was Witcher 2, hands down.

[Charismatic]

Hands down over your eyes ignoring all the other great games, sure.

Metal Gear Rising is Not Part of Metal Gear Solid Series

Kojima Productions has been clearing up some rumors and misconceptions regarding Metal Gear Rising Revengeance following the game's unveiling earlier today.

First off, a rumor that quickly surfaced after the game's unveiling: Rising is a proper sequel in the Metal Gear Solid saga. This, according to the Kojipro official Twitter, is not the case. "We've only said that the period setting is several years after MGS4. Metal Gear Rising is not part of the Metal Gear Solid series. At present, we can't say more than this."

Rising was also the main subject of the latest Hideraji podcast, with producer Yuji Korekado sharing a few additional details about the project. Here's some of what was discussed based off a summary of the broadcast that's making the rounds (I haven't given the broadcast a listen for myself, so my translation is second hand -- there may be a few differences when you hear the official English background story via a video that will be released on the 13th).

The original Rising was announced as a game where you can chop up anything. The development staff quickly created just that. However, they felt that this alone would be insufficient.

The original Rising got to the point where the staff no longer knew what the core of the game should be. At some point, Kojima said that the project probably would not be able to be completed. However, the staff insisted that it could be done. In the end, they cancelled the project. At this point, they'd already fleshed out many areas outside of the game design component, like the story and the motion capture.

One day, Kojima leaned that members of Platinum Games had come to the Kojima Productions studio. Platinum said that it's unfortunate that the game was in a half done state. They were excited about the project that they took over.

Platinum suggested the concept of "a game where it feels so good to chop things up that you would die" (I think my translation may be weird here -- "It's so good that you die" is just a Japanese way of saying it's amazingly good.)

The title was changed because the game is different from the Metal Gear Solid series. It's a new Metal Gear.

Hideki Kamiya is not the game's director. The director will be announced later.

When restarting the project, they were originally going to use the original story. After Platinum received the data from Kojima Productions, they said they wanted to remake the story.

Hands down over your eyes ignoring all the other great games, sure.

Hands down you've either never played it or don't know a great game when they see one.

I'm not denying there were a bunch of great game that came out this year, but that was my personal favorite.

Calling something game of the year, then following it up a few posts later with 'my personal favorite' pretty much strikes your comment, lol

Poor Mark Hamill.

[Akiyama]

That's a pretty shitty deal by VGA. Eff them.

[BadKarma]

Mark Hamill will cut a bitch

[Kaisha]

They skimped on a shitload of nominy mentions, including just outright mentioning a couple winners during the pre-show.

Guess they were so strapped for time after playing the same three ads multiple times.

I completely agree with this guy

[Jefe]

Yep, the script was terribad. I wish Adam Carolla had read it and told them what not to do. Figures, having that nobody woman eating cake off the floor to blatantly pander to the lowest common denominator. Oh yeah, wtf was that shit w/ the "gamer god"?
