All eyes on the Spike TV Video Game Awards (VGAs), which begin today at 5pm Pacific Time. Expect first in-game footage of UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception and Resistance 3 to make an appearance — I have a suspicion you won’t want to miss it. After the VGAs, swing back here to the PlayStation.Blog to learn even more and discuss tonight’s gaming news.
Meanwhile, the Capcom Unity and PlayStation.Blog VGAs viewing party is in full swing at the Kim Sing Theatre in Los Angeles. At this very moment, PlayStation and Capcom fans are enjoying hands-on play with Marvel vs Capcom 3, as well as succulent foods delivered by local food trucks. Wish I could be there! But the show must go on.
Uncover the truth in UNCHARTED 3! — In search of the fabled “Atlantis of the Sands,” Nathan Drake and Sullivan set off on a daring trek into the heart of the Arabian Desert.

Patch Alert: MAG v2.10 — In-game 720p screenshots, Multiqueues, plus bug fixes and updates for the 256-player online shooter.
The Uncharted 3 announcement was by far the best Playstation-related news of this week. I’m looking forward to hearing more about it in the future.
Speaking of which, I want to mention it now, because I’m sure I am not the only one who wants this, but I’m really hoping a Collector’s Edition available at retail is considered for this game.
The Uncharted 2 CE was a step in the right direction, but I’m sure a lot of people really wished it wasn’t just limited to giveaways…
Bottom Line: Mental Note for the Sony/Naughty Dog Crew – Uncharted 3 Collector’s Edition available at retail. A win for everyone involved.
Is the big December 12th (after VGAs) reveal supposed to be Uncharted 3 or is it something completely different? I had assumed it was Uncharted 3 and that we wouldn’t see anything until tomorrow.
I don’t know if you’ll be able to answer this, but I just tried to buy Dead Nation on PSN, only I can’t find it. All I can find is trailers and avatar bundles. Has it released in New Zealand yet?
Since they already announced and are showing footage of Uncharted 3 at the VGAs, I’m pretty sure that counts as being ‘revealed’. Expect something new for tomorrow.
I see you’re playing GT5. Maybe you can answer this question;
How come, in Update V 1.03, Mechanical Damage was only updated for Online mode? Are we going to see this for GT Life and Arcade Mode as well? I really need the answer to this question.
Hey Sid,
I just received a LBP 2 beta code through email but it doesn’t work. Is there anyone I could ask for another one or does the store need to be updated or something?
PS3 is going to 0wn tonight at VGA i highly doubt that xbox 360 will get any credit tonight… my prediction god of war 3 should be mention for game of the year. it was epic from the start to the end Kratos will live on forever
@23.. likewise.. the code seemed incomplete (I find it hard to believe the word “code” is actually part of the code) so I’m hoping someone will fix that and resend soon. Otherwise…Jan 18 is coming.
Sid can you please find why the advertised free avatars for ps plus users never materialized this past Tuesday?
I have asked Grace at least twice now and of course I didn’t get a response. So I figure since you seem pretty good at responding to us that maybe you could find out for us .
Yeah, I would watch it, except GT5 (the only game I really care about) isn’t nominated for Best Driving Game. If it was nominated, It would crush everybody else in that category (and it might’ve taken home several other awards as well). It’s Spike TV’s fault for having cold feet when it got delayed. Ah, oh well, there’s always next year.
Also, Naughty Dog has creative people working for them, You’d think they would be more creative then “Lets just copy last years trailer and replace snow with sand and the train with a plane”.
I’m sure the game will be good despite the unnecessary focus on multiplayer, but that trailer still sucked.
well if you dont like people complaining about a firmware update then
release what people want then but i guess you can’t make a hundred dollars with ps2 bc or cross chat
I’m watching: Watched the Curious Case of Ben Button on Netflix last night. Also watching Lost and Eureka on Netflix.
I’m reading: Not much at the moment. I tried to read Poodle Springs by Robert B. Parker, but couldn’t get into it. Might try again. Not sure. Hopefully I’ll have another book called Cloud Atlas on Monday.
Uncharted 3 looks great. But November 2011? Whoa. So far away!
Resistence looks interesting, but it didn’t wow me like Uncharted 3 did.
This weeks PS3 update was so-so. No demos. I did like Qore–LBP2 and Dead Space 2! Can’t wait to play both demos on the 21st. That said, I am hoping that we get some cool demos this Tuesday…
I’m looking forward to buying the Costume Quest dlc for Christmas. Also might download a game, but I’m not sure which one I’ll get. Hopefully something cool will come out this Tuesday or the 21st downloadable game wise.
what is the deal with the ps3 browser ? ever since that last update it’s had issues with cookies and even with this blog . i cant read the drakes deception article because the window locks into one place AND Crashes the ps3 . i had to finagle my way to this article to leave this comment . this isnt sony’s version of a browser upgrade is it ? because i do believe it is worse now than it has EVER been . it doesnt do facebook like the ads imply and now apparently it doesnt even do it’s own product blog .
what’s going on ? why is the browser getting worse , not better and most importantly why is something so BROKEN being featured in ads .
“WE ARE SORRY!!! THIS VIDEO İS NOT AVAILABLE IN YOUR COUNTRY!!!!” What is it meaning? And WHY ????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Sorry bout that — publishing snafu on my end. Updating now…
Im really looking forward to Uncharted 3’s debut trailer tonight.
Oh and Sid, is there a completely new PS3 exclusive premiering tomorrow on Spike? Or is it just an Uncharted 3 related reveal for tomorrow?
*crosses fingers for Starhawk*

How long will we be seeing this desert theme on the PS Blog? All this sand is hurting my eye!
Yo Sid, who is going to be at the event today from the blog? You going to be there, how about Jeff?
Jeff and Rey are there! I’m back in San Francisco minding the mothership.
I’m watching the Alien Anthology too; absolutely love that franchise :).
Also, Resistance 3 and Uncharted 3 trailers in only a few hours!!!! I’m so excited!
I’m the world’s biggest Aliens fan. And i just found my old copy of the tabletop game rule book: http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showbook&bookid=3800
@8 eye? just one lol
And now the guy at the word department woke up, and took a dozen coffees… Hehe, kidding. Glad to see all the text in place. Time to read!……

Can’t wait for 2011. UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception and Resistance 3 are gonna own. Thank you Naughty Dog and Insomniac Games!
Cool stuff! The VGAs will be sweet! This’ll be my first time watching, any advice?
Hey,
I see you’re playing GT5. Maybe you can answer this question;
How come, in Update V 1.03, Mechanical Damage was only updated for Online mode? Are we going to see this for GT Life and Arcade Mode as well? I really need the answer to this question.
Thanks!

I didn’t get a lbp2 beta code so I’m indifferent to everything else..
Can’t wait for Uncharted 3!
Hey Sid,
I just received a LBP 2 beta code through email but it doesn’t work. Is there anyone I could ask for another one or does the store need to be updated or something?
Our Sackbots are on the case! And for those wondering, the LBP2 beta is going out to a random selection of PS+ users — it’s not a huge-scale beta.
PS3 is going to 0wn tonight at VGA i highly doubt that xbox 360 will get any credit tonight… my prediction god of war 3 should be mention for game of the year. it was epic from the start to the end Kratos will live on forever
@23: Give it to me! I’ll work the digitalman magic!

Okay I’ll look into this.

I hate you for having SOTC in your Play list.
Also, Naughty Dog has creative people working for them, You’d think they would be more creative then “Lets just copy last years trailer and replace snow with sand and the train with a plane”.
I’m sure the game will be good despite the unnecessary focus on multiplayer, but that trailer still sucked.
I’m playing: Dead Nation, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, Donkey Kong Country Returns + various more…
I’m watching: Inception, mind blown. Wow was my reaction… then I watched it again. My reaction changed to WOW! Such an amazing movie.
