Jack Black was a good choice...

italianbreadman6025d ago

Definitely, but even Jack Black can't save such a worthless production.

They really need to make it about the games, like David Craig said.

INehalemEXI6025d ago

Silver winged lady's handing out trophies was a good choice as well...

FantasyStar6025d ago

Jack Black sucks. Just watching the skits was annoying as ****.

vickers5006025d ago

"Perhaps Spike needs to pay less attention to the Soulja Boys of gaming and more time to the average, hardcore gamer."

Truer words could not be spoken.

Bubble Buddy6025d ago

Well putting more video games in it might be a good start.

Jinxstar6024d ago

I agree. I enjoyed the awards. Minus all the rap and other crap bands(They need Korn in there)I thought it was a good show

KidMakeshift6024d ago

Jack Black's just a white Carlos Mencia

Cenobia6024d ago

I actually thought that was one of the most retarded things about the show. They even made it a theme, of sorts (if you noticed the background graphics). I'm all for hot lady presentators, but painting them silver, slapping on wings, and lowering from the ceiling makes absolutely no sense. Why not do a gaming theme instead? That would make a hell of a lot more sense, and the ladies could be equally as under dressed.

The show sucked all the way around. I hate advertisements that pretend to be real shows. Everyone that stepped on stage was just trying to sell something, or just had nothing better to do. Next time they need to cut out the b-list celebrities and just present the awards (maybe by people actually involved in gaming) and some exclusive reveals that are longer than 5 seconds.

Instead of making it a sideshow, they should try to make it something that the gaming community can actually respect.

I nearly fell asleep. GTA IV won GOTY, every "World Premiere" was only 15-20 seconds long and suffered from extremely poor quality, etc. Waste of time.

cain1416025d ago

That would be the main reason I taped it and fast forwarded through 90%

jemmo6025d ago

Come on guys this is spike tv. The award show was a joke they knew there was a buzz for trailers and game of the year so guess what lets put on crap! The most I watched is when I skipped channels so my children could watch Disney.

Aclay6025d ago

I do agree with the guy that wrote this article when he says that there should be actual game developers giving out awards instead of actors. During the Oscars it's mostly various actors presenting/ giving out awards to other Actors and the VGA's should be the same way.

It would have been way better if more game developers were actually involved in the show itself... instead of that woman introducing World Premires, I would have rather preferred that someone from the game studio itself was there on stage to introduce a World Premire, like Cory Barlog giving an intro to the God of War 3 trailer or Evan Wells giving the intro to the Uncharted 2 trailer.

However, I did like seeing Kim Kardashian, Uncharted 2 and God of War 3 trailers, but everything else to me was pretty meh. Jack Black was o.k., but overrall to me, Jack Black really isn't that funny and I thought that some of the presenters didn't seem to take it seriously.

I basically only watched the VGA's for the Uncharted 2 and GOW3 trailers and didn't care about anything else, after I saw the trailers I turned back to the Dallas Cowboys v.s. New York Giants game on NBC.

S1CKLY6025d ago

it was pathetic to say the least.

never again, spike... never again...

Lombax6025d ago

Yet, I watched it again...

Give us FO3 with all the dlc remastered like ESO. Load times faster, quality of life improvements, gun play improvements

I believe it shouldn't just be graphical they should make improvements where they can to make the game better. A simple face lift isn't what's needed

ZeekQuattro51d ago

Still my favorite one. I remember getting a digital copy of FO3 when I got FO4(XBO). It was nice to finally play a stable version of the game. Then when I got a Series S it was an even better expierence. Quick resume and FPS boost made it feel like a whole new game. Updated gunplay would be very welcome though. One of the few things FO4 did better.

New Vegas and Morrowind should have been first!

Christopher59d ago

Fairly certain we all know that New Vegas isn't getting anything because it's not a Bethesda developed game.

OMGitzThatGuy59d ago

MS owns both devs, if they want it, a 3rd party will make it.

Christopher59d ago

***MS owns both devs, if they want it, a 3rd party will make it. ***

I think the issue is that it's not a Bethesda developed game, not that MS owns both. This is more about Todd.

RaidenBlack59d ago (Edited 59d ago )

Yep ... Todd doesn't like getting bettered within his own IP scope.
I still think of the Elder Scrolls spin-off Obsidian pitched similar to New Vegas, but Todd rejected.

RaidenBlack59d ago (Edited 59d ago )

Replayed NV more than FO3 ... so I appreciate the FO3 remaster more.
For NV, I'd much prefer a sequel or a spinoff from Obsidian.

FTLmaster59d ago

Got a soft spot for Fallout 3, so I'd be down to play this.

-Foxtrot59d ago

It's crazy New Vegas wasn't worked on first to launch alongside Fallout Season 2.

They could have added all the cut content they had planned but didn't have enough development time to add, possibly even expand on it a little more. For example, have the Vegas strip as one big hub over being chopped into smaller sections we have to keep loading into.

neutralgamer199259d ago

Would love a complete remake or sequel with enough resources

Abnor_Mal59d ago

The only Fallout game I’ve played, PS3 had to keep stopping every few minutes to save. Next thing I knew the credits were rolling and I never did any side quest. I never replayed the game because of all the bugs the game had.

Yui_Suzumiya59d ago (Edited 59d ago )

I've played Fallout 3 more than any game. I lost count many years ago of how many times I finished it. It was my first Platinum trophy. But yeah, it was buggy on PS3 at launch before it got properly patched.

anast59d ago

They are only remaking their games that have been streamlined.

Gears of War 2 Remake was in development “10 years ago” but was scrapped by Xbox

Ayi Sanchez: "Old work. I did this 10 years ago now as part of a material test for a remaster of Gears of War 2 that never happened."

RaidenBlack96d ago

lolz,
hope we're still getting Gears 2 & 3 for PC, as per rumors

Cacabunga96d ago

Xbox always taking the right decisions

XiNatsuDragnel96d ago

Wow... just wow Microsoft sigh at it again 😑

Lightning7796d ago

Weird, in mean they had no studios to make anything really new so there's a part of me thats kinda glad they scrapped it. If they released this back then it would of gotten ridiculed for remakes and remastering stuff. Now they have new and interesting games so the collection is harmless.

CrimsonWing6996d ago

Geez, Xbox, something like that I would’ve bought Day 1. Great business decisions over there.

lucasnooker96d ago

10 years ago it wasn’t such a big deal. The games were only a few years old by that point

CrimsonWing6996d ago

Gears of War: Ultimate Edition came out in 2015 (essentially 10 years ago), having a follow-up to that on the then next-gen console would’ve absolutely been welcomed, in my book.

LoveSpuds96d ago

I can only assume the the Gears of War Remaster flopped so they decided to scrap the other remakes?

Seems short sighted to me as I really enjoyed the 1st remaster. Regardless, I'll snap up some remakes to play on my PS5.
