I am very excited about traipsing through a destroyed, burnt-out Dubai. I am a little less excited that it looks like it could be another game where the story gets told mostly through audio logs and radio chatter. I trust that Levine is aiming for something different than BIOSHOCK DUBAI, though.

It's not Bioshock Dubai.
It's the new Spec Ops

1Up doubles-scoops Spike/GameTrailers with a longer trailer, very nice 
And it turns out the trailer itself is several months old.
Kinda disappointing to hear that it is Spec Ops though. I just don't have much interest in "grounded" military shooters. Parts of the trailer just look like "Modern Warfare Too: Electric Boogaloo"......while other parts look much more fantastic. The entire city is rotted away, much of it is buried under sand.....the circumstances seem like something much more dire than just a generic terrorist attack. I'll try and out out hope that it is more STALKER than it is CoD.

Spec Ops? Alright which one of you bought those PS1 games on PSN. This is YOUR FAULT.
Obviously they are going to be giving the game a different developer and a big budget, so I don't see what relevance the quality of previous Spec Ops titles should be.
That said I'm not really sure what the point is in resurrecting the IP....nobody has fond memories of it, and it's arguably more detrimental to the sales of the game than it is helpful.

I doubt most gamers even remember that. And the hardcore that do won't really care as long as it's a quality game. Just from that teaser it's pretty clear that it's been given a respectable budget (as you pointed out).
But yeah, it's odd that they'd reuse that name instead of just creating an entirely new franchise.
You're kinda forgetting that the VGAs are just an event designed to drive sales of holiday titles.....not recognize a year's worth of noteworthy games.
For the nominations they basically ignored every single game released before August (unless it was a genre with slim pickings). if I were a fan, I'd be glad that Killzone 2 got any nominations at all.

Why not? I think alot of people would love a high budget 2d platformer. If Vanillaware can do it so can 2K
Like I said before I think that this game is developed by Yager Development which has a publishing agreement with 2k Games and was original planed to be announced at GC Germany (which would go alongside with the date the full trailer was posted at the blog) but the announcement was delayed for unknown reasons.

So don't hop on the Hype Train.

I noticed Kristen Bell was nominated for her work in Assassin's Creed 2... Is she even in Assassin's Creed 2? Maybe it's just me but the character she played in 1 doesn't even look/sound like her in 2. I'm also not seeing it on her IMDB page.

Kristen Bell is the same women she was before, the female lab assistant in the lab. Look at the multiple interviews and blog postings on Assassins Creed 2 where it was revealed she was keeping that role. She seems to have more speaking roles in AC2 though as well.

Hopefully Sony have something to show.
Who has the keynote at GDC this year? If its Sony they might save some things until then.

What's Bioshock Dubai? This is the first I'm hearing of this.

Because they aren't known Hollywood actors and actresses. That's what most of those voice acting awards are based on not quality.

TRON 2.0 was a great game so lets hope they build off of that.

Speaking of Sony, what hit surprises could they have for next year, all they seem to have is just God of War III, possibly GT5, and no, new IPs...

I though Last Guardian was a sequel to something?
Other than that, I completely overlooked MAG and Heavy Rain.

Heavy Rain, MAG, and Modnation Racers are all new IP's. What an ignorant question.Dedication Through Light said:
Also, someone ask Keighley what will Sony be showing and he replied with this on Twitter:
Testy much? So I'm going to assert baseless speculation and say that not including MLB The Show in the Top Sports Games category was retaliatory because Sony didn't give them access to trailers for their stupid awards show. That's the only way MLB The Show not getting a nomination makes any sense.
