VGAs Reveal Numerous New Titles and Information
A total of eight new titles were revealed from a slew of different publishers.
While the VGAs haven't been the most exciting awards in past years, this year, Spike TV made sure to sign on a number of companies to announce a variety of new titles.
Geoff Keighley originally spoke of a surprise new premiere within the first few minutes of the show. Batman Arkham Asylum 2 was revealed to be that title, and at the helm was once again Rocksteady, the same studio responsible for the first critically acclaimed title.
Following that announcement were a number of sequels to established franchises, the first of which was Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II. Green Day: Rock Band will be the second band-exclusive full title following The Beatles: Rock Band. UFC Disputed 2010 is coming from THQ, following up the well received 2009 version of the game.
The True Crime series will be seeing a revival with True Crime: Hong Kong, as will the Tron series with Tron: Evolution.
Deadliest Warrior, a downloadble title based on the television series is being developed by Pipeworks Software, and Spec Ops: The Line, a new title from 2K Games were the last newly announced games.
During the awards, players were treated to a few other videos including the world-exclusive debut of Halo: Reach, Crackdown 2 footage, and a CGI trailer for Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands.
