Ok, I'm pulling together as much info as I can and I'll plonk it all in here. Lot's of premiers and announcements.

For starters, Rock Band: Green Day leaked a bit before the show started.

It kicked off with the Joker himself announcing a sequel to Batman: Arkham Asylum.

As I'm catching up on this stuff, Wolfman's Halo Reach video is being shown right this minute. Will probably hit the interwebs all over very shortly.

Jack Black wins Best Voice Actor for Brutal Legend.

Assassins Creed 2 wins Best Action/Adventure. It was up against Batman, Brutal Legend and Uncharted 2 - 3 of my favourite games from this year. Big call.

Rocksteady wins Best Studio of the Year. They beat Valve, Infinity Ward and Naughty Dog. It's who they beat that makes that impressive.

Star Wars: Force Unleashed 2 announced.

Quote:
 
As it was expected, Star Wars: Force Unleashed 2 was revealed tonight during the VGAs. Showing only CG footage, there wasn't much to see in this world debut. You'll play as the Apprentice once again, but this time he doesn't seem to be siding with the Sith or any specific side of the Force. Yoda and Darth Vader are heard talking to him throughout the trailer telling him about loss and death. If these will play major roles in the game isn't known right now, but it could be a major plot development point for the game, much like Anakin Skywalker's decent into darkness out of fear of losing his loved ones.

The trailer shows him doing battle in what appears to be an arena and then ends. We should have more on this title in the relative future. Hopefully, it delivers everything the original was lacking.

The Crackdown 2 trailer that was shown.



Sorry for the quality, these things are still getting leaked out. Damn it looks good though!

EDIT: Found a better quality one. Better to watch on YouTube with the video blown up.

This is a pretty ordinary copy, but it's the first one I've found put up anywhere. Bungie haven't even posted it yet.



Bungie claimed that there is no CG in this trailer. If that's true, then holy shit....

I marked hard for the Hyabusa Spartan.

EDIT: Found a slightly better copy. You're better off watching it on YouTube and blown up a bit. Looks like what I thought was Hyabusa was just a shitty recording job. :(

As in it isn't a pre-rendered video. It's actually using the in-game engine.

I think they did claim the same for the Halo 3 trailer as well though...

They didn't just claim it, it was. They demo'd it to a bunch of reporters and did the whole "stop the vid, move around the scene" thing.

Don't forget, all of the CPU and GPU power is leveraged on the visuals (apart from slight overhead for sound), I have no trouble believing that the vid shown there is all realtime rendered.

That doesn't mean it's what it will look like ingame... But is a good idea of how it will look in cut-scenes
yo listen up here's a story
about a little guy that lives in a blue world
and all day and all night and everything he sees
is just blue like him inside and outside
blue his house with a blue little window
and a blue corvette
and everything is blue for him and hisself
and everybody around
cos he ain't got nobody to listen to

i'm blue da ba dee da ba die...

Yeah, that's what I meant. Using the in-game engine - yes. How it will look when you actually play it? - Not quite.

Still, that's a pretty damn good effort.

Agreed, it's a nice step up from the Halo 3 engine. Seems to be running higher res and with anti-aliaising which where pretty much the only issues with the original.
