VGAs 2012: winners announced, get all the news here

Yea I just want to see the trailers and announcements (if they have any). The last two VGAs I watched were God awful.

when does the show start, GMT?

I’m sure this will be a pile of shit so I’m going to bed.

@2 VGAs start at 1am UK (preshow) and the Awards start at 2am UK. Go to TV & Movies on your XBL dash if you want to watch.

Just woke up to watch this. Better be good!
Despite what some say, I like this show. Its good entertainment!

It would be amazing if ANYTHING regarding next-gen shows up

Ink Master with Dave Navarro is on right now. He is such a douche.

Anyway, the VGAs go off in 30 minutes and will last two hours. Pray for me.

Also, I will post any videos that go live as fast as I can find them – if you see them before I do, just stick the link in here and I will love you forever.

Journey won the best original score and halo4 best graphics and best 360 game.

@7 Yeah, that all happened during the pre-show. We’ll do a post on the winners once the show ends. I’ll tweet the main ones out from the show once it starts.

@Steph
Needed a bit of help, do you have a link for low-res version (240p something) of vga 2012? My connection is shuttering even with 400kbps stream.

Is it showing for you online?

Showing online on GT, yeah. Able to watch it without buffering, no.

Try Spike instead: http://www.spike.com/events/video-game-awards/

I think you’re onto some grade A headline material there Steph.

“Dave Navarro is a douche; Watch VGAs 30 minutes from now”

Perfecto!

@13

Still sucks for me, will be waiting for youtube video later today.
Although thanks Steph!

TLOU 7th May 2012!!!

I will add all official trailers in when I get them via email. Until then, Wrecked Pixel’s YT channel has been a Godsend. I’ll also fill the posts out once all is over and done with – as per usual.

I’m waiting out the Linkin Park performance. I don’t need to expose my ears to that.

Yep Viacom is all over every one’s ass who has posted the videos on You Tube. I will replace them when I can. Please stand by.

Wait.. How the hell did HL2 win game of the decade? The game was mediocre at best IMO…

It actually sounds like they properly thought of the game of the year stuff this time. I mean seriously Walking Dead wins GOTY who would have gussed that seriously.

So the best part of the night was the massive, inflatable dong that popped up behind Tenacious D at the end. No joke. A giant dong.

Considering how I wont be able to play much for the next 6 months due to some very big arrangements, I will probably end up with a 2 year worth of backlog.
2013 looks really nice. Although Dark Souls 2 may well be a 2014 game.

Best graphics, Halo 4? Have these voters not played any recent PC game? It’s a tolerable looking game otherwise I would not have stomached the time to make it to lvl 23, but it’s not even the best looking console game out.

Sure at first you may think the unreachable backgrounds look pretty, but after moving around for a bit you quickly realize it’s the same cheap wallpaper effect they’ve been using for quite some time.

(Sorry Erthazus, beat you to it)

Guild Wars 2 won nothing!

Bravo! The Walking Dead very well deserves GOTY.

Half-Life 2 game of the Decade, what a joke!

Why so much negativity towards HL2? Last time I checked, it was considered to be one of the best games of all time… and it IS a superb game. Maybe not my choice but still, pretty damn awesome.

@27 Yeah could be, but not compared to those games!

The VGAs were terrible this year! So much so I can’t even sleep… The Walking Dead The Game wins GOTY?! What does that game total? About 12-13hrs tops?! 6 categories this year and most of them were either cheapened with the competition put in that category or simply nonexistent. Samuel L. Jackson was the only good thing about the 2012 VGAs IMO…

H2 is one of the best games this gen 4 sure. that ‘game of the decade’ award is really tough to pick. H2 is a reasonable choice.

@28
Compared to what? All of those are great games. Outside the Wii Sports (A terribly mediocre game) I think one could make a strong case for all other choices, including HL2.

Sure, they differ from our personal choices. Mine are Demon’s Souls, Shadow of the Colossus and Psychonauts but it doesn’t mean HL2 was a bad choice IMHO. Now if something like Halo3, GTA4 or Uncharted 2 had won, then I would have gotten angry (Thankfully they weren’t nominated).

Yay for Dishonored for winning best action adventure game,also Half-Life 2 game of the decade no surprise…..Gabe…dude,it was a perfect opportunity to do you know what…….

@29 The only disappointing fact about TWD was the episodic nature and 3 months gap between each episode, other than that it was one the best games this year.

@32 Perfect opportunity, but Kojima stole the show.

One of the better VGA’s I’ve seen, good to see some well deserved games winning awards.

Though I wasn’t expecting to see TWD to win game of the year, congratulations to Telltale games!.

I personally fully agree with HL2 being game of the decade. It is infact my favourite game of all time ever! People talk of it being a “this gen” game, remember HL2 actually came out long before current gen consoles and at that point in time it stood head and shoulders above anything else and it still holds its head high today.

In other news, I’d have to say I mostly agree with the winners, there are a few wtf’s on there but over all the list ain’t too bad. Don’t agree at all with the over all GOTY though. Just my opinion though.

HL2 is indeed game of the decade. Who disagree’s is a console gamer who never touched in the year when it came out.

HL2 came out before this generation of consoles for your information and it is still looks to this date as a current gen game and there are design choices that no one did better then Valve so far in FPS genre.

@33 Kojima stole the show and also beat Valve at trolling.

Brace yourselves, Half-Life hate-crew are coming.

@37 true dat

I managed to stay up until The Last of Us trailer then I just could not take anymore. I think if I cringed any harder my neck would break.

This is out great awards ceremony people. Sponsored out its ass and presented by people that have no idea what they are talking about.

HL2 was good but I’d be hesitant to call it game of the decade.

I still don’t understand why you need to announce MGS5 if MGS: Ground Zeroes is not out and even reveangence?

Isn’t it too soon? I don’t understand that announcement. I don’t see the logic here at all.

+ Next Gen systems are coming soon with next gen games.

I don’t understand this announcement and I still believe that it is not MGS5. I still believe that this is Metal gear Solid: Ground Zeroes or something else with Metal Gear brand. Something completely new that has nothing to do with stealth.

I don’t understand this shit. Kojima is nuts.

What? The Walking Dead: The Game? I hope it comes out as a Blu-ray, complete then. You woke up my curiosity. Mass Effect 3 is EVERYTHING to me this year though.

Sorry for ac III would have deserved an award, even for Best Action Adventure Game.

This time, it was a fair result.

Oh the irony of the Best DLC award, a DLC that is not available on all consoles, for the rest iam good, well with the exception of best Wii/WiiU game, it should have been xenoblade IMHO.
