Do you live in or near Los Angeles? Come to the PlayStation.Blog VGA 2009 Meet-up and Viewing Party on Saturday, December 12, 2009.

By arne | Twitter @arnemeyer | Friday December 11 2009

Can you believe it was just three weeks ago when we let you know that UNCHARTED 2 and Naughty Dog were nominated in a ton of categories for the SPIKE 2009 Video Game Awards. Time sure has flown and the VGA 2009 show is almost here. In fact, it’s TOMORROW, Saturday, December 12, so be sure to tune in to watch it live on SPIKE at 8 PM.

To celebrate the awards show this year, PlayStation.Blog has something special up their sleeves for people in and near Los Angeles (or willing to travel here, of course)—they’ve secured a location and set-up one of their world famous Meet-Ups that will also serve as a viewing party for the VGA 2009. Of course, this is right in our backyard (or is it front yard?) so to celebrate our leading EIGHT nominations, along with the other nine nominations by our friends within the PlayStation family, we’re going to be there. We’ve already secured several Dogs to attend along with myself to meet our fans, sign your stuff, answer your questions and watch the VGA 2009 show, hoping we win!

Chris and Jeff from the PlayStation.blog let me know that it’s critical for anyone wanting to attend the meet-up to get there early as they can only let the first 100 people in to the event (not to mention they said something about something special for the early birds). You’ll need your photo ID to get in to the event as well. Don’t forget to bring your UNCHARTED 2 game, t-shirt, poster or anything else if you want it signed by the Dogs in attendance. As is usual for PlayStation.Blog events, they are taking care of us all right by making sure there is food, drinks and giveaways.

RSVP now on their Facebook event page!

Event Details:
Saturday, December 12 from 4:00 PM to 7:30 PM (The 2009 VGA’s start at 5:00 PM)

Capitol City (Main Dining Hall)
1615 N. Cahuenga Boulevard (map)
Los Angeles, CA 90028
(323) 465.1750

There is valet parking, numerous lots nearby and metered street parking. Plan accordingly!

While we’re on the subject of award shows, tonight, Friday, December 11, is Machinima.com’s first ever Inside Gaming Awards. Unfortunately it’s a private event, but you can watch the proceedings on the Inside Gaming channel on December 15. We’re up for another EIGHT awards there too—so wish us luck!

Cool cool lucky ones. I’ve been replaying Uncharted 2 with mirror world set and in spanish LOL. Feels like a different game. Mirror world is so confusing at times (that would be a fun random multiplayer weekend, flip all the maps). Game on

Oh you’re so lucky, weskerwannabe, because you’re able to set UC2 in a difrent language other than english. I live in Portugal, and imported the game from UK, because it’s 25€ (37$) cheaper than buying it here. I was hoping to, after finishing the game a couple of times, be able to play it in portuguese. Sadly, the UK version of Uc2 has only got English language, unlike games like inFamous, LittleBigPlanet and Resistance2. What’s done is done, but can’t you, ND, release a patch or giving us ability to download other languages from the PS Store, please.

Oh yeah I forgot one thing: Where’s the Naughty Drake skin? I’ve seen it in that video from Machinima when you were presenting that mode…
That was my favourite skin from UC1 and it gave me luck and I was able to finish the game on crushing w/ that skin. One more thing: Can we have more SP skins (Are the Eye of Indra skins for SP, too?) like UC1 Drake and, in the case that the Eye Of Indra skins are nor SP, can we have those too. Last but not least: Where is Super Slo-mo? Please can we (Gamers) have what I ask. It’s christmas.

I’ve had multiple lockups now on the train wreck map, and just now it made my whole system lock up so I was forced to restart it, and when I got back I had been assessed yet another 40,000 dollar penalty for nothing, I’ve lost 200,000 or more now because of this trash.

Posted by: weskerwannabe on 12-12-2009

I seriously must be extremely lucky or have really good internet I don’t know. I think I pay for some good shtuff though I have only received one penalty but I knew I was going to receive it and just said whatever LOL I have never lost connection or had it freeze up. I should be lvl 47 by the end of this weekend I hope!

best of luck i all ready voted. all 4 uncharted of course. (but still all skins should be available 4 everyone. (EVERYONE!!!!!!) .I DON’T THINK, I NO ITS BS THAT SOME PEOPLE GOT NAVRO NAUGHTY DRAKE ETC. Pleae make these 4 everyone. also i just found out that there r 2 new skins from a uncharted cartoon on the psn . when will this be available is CANADA???? i pre order my copy and got nothing. so please this this . it kinda looks dumb when there is 3 tenzins 2 chole’s vs 2 zorskel 2 vondiks and 1 dragon. u know what i mean. more skins. COME ON. I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH. ND if we got a free map for thanksgiving. and xmas is about giving you al most have to give us a fre map lol i hope. and like i always say. ill 14.99$ for a map pack with skins in the new year. hell 19.99$ but thats pushing it. thanks nd

Posted by: iceman888srf on 12-11-2009

1 last thing. if you r working on new maps. think about this. it rocks. a (1 cave map) like the dark cave in un1. (2 jungle map) like un1 or borno in un2.(3 roof top map) like in un2 would unreal do this.(4 sunken city)from un1. hope those help to you. other choice could be a 2nd jungle map since were all love the jungle and a 2nd fort but one that looks more like the one in un1.(though i love the fort you gave us)but forts kick ass.

you guys should feel great that so many people want to help out with this masterpeice that you guys have made. when we bitch its because we care. if we did’t care we would be playing cod mw2. ps make sure that the wes and crossbow and sas shotgun get placed in at least one of the maps. wish i can talk to you guys in person. as i hate type and don’t explain mtself near as well as i do in person. so many vison’s for this game to many to type out. and i suck at spelling and grammer. to top of why you should win in award on saturday. is because you listen to your fans. and put forth what we all ask. THANKS VERY MUCH NAUGHTYDOG. NO other companys do this as far as i no. ( less heath was awsome) ttyl nd and uncharted fans

Hello, I bought the skins pack, but they don’t work, I got the game from UK, but bought the pack from the Portugal store. Could you guys fix it? Make the game region free? I would really like to play with the new skins… Thanks.. And thanks for making a fantastic game, love it!!!!

Posted by: DRCD1 on 12-12-2009

Thanks for the heads up, I was going to buy the pack from the Portuguese store, now I won’t and wait to see if we can get compatibility between the UK game/PT pack. Also I think that the reason that they don’t work is because the UKgame is diferent from the portuguese version because they don’t contain the same file. Example: The portuguese version of the game has the possibility to change the language, while the UK has not.

Posted by: iceman888srf on 12-11-2009

what the f@#& i just bought the eye of indra DLC movie from PSN. and i was told thats how youget the skins for rika and the bad guy forget his mane. great comic short story i was amsome. but how do i get the skins. i see other using them online. so how do you get them . this is really pissing me off that some people have extra skins. like really piss’s me off. MAKE ALL SKINS FOR EVERYONE. SOME PLEASE MESSAGE HERE TO LET ME NO HOW TO GET THEM. AND TO ME USINF SKELATONS LIKE MARCO,KHAN AND SKELZOR IS KINDA GAY. I BEAT IT ON PLATUIM CAUSE I LOVE THE GAME NOT FOR LAMB SKELATONS. I LIKE USE REAL PEOPLE/CHARACTERS. LIKE DRAKE SULLY SARK LOVAC ETC.

Uncharted 2 is one of the best games I have ever played. My whole family watches me play which is something they never did before. There’s something special about this game and it deserves to win many awards!

Good luck at the VGA!

Posted by: Ultima12 on 12-12-2009

I voted everything Uncharted 2. It deserves all of the awards. It is the best game I’ve ever played and I really wish Naughty Dog all the best!! I really wish I could be there to meet all of the geniuses behind this masterpeice!!! Love you guys!!!

Is the $40K penalty gone...?

I had to suddenly go earlier during a mammoth Plunder game, after already leaving a game due to it freezing, and all it said I’d get is a 30 second penalty? I got no fine, is this normal now?

Posted by: Kovukono on 12-12-2009

Good luck guys--voted for you in every category. Still, I think you got kind of gypped already--there are several categories you guys should have been in but weren’t even in. You guys made an awesome game--and you have every right to be proud of it.

Posted by: jnco10999 on 12-12-2009

You guys need to release more FREE content otherwise your community will not grow. Keep this in mind, when you release a priced DLC, not everybody is going to buy it. So the already small uncharted mp community is even smaller when playing dlc maps, which says to me why should I bother buying one?

Posted by: bambivirus on 12-12-2009

congrats, ND. my brother is a big fan of MW2, and i rubbed it in his face when you guys won. thanks for the great game, that i would still be playing if you had more game types online, but i moved to quantum of solace. sorry ND, it just got old.

I stopped playing Uncharted 2 just to watch you guys on the VGAs. Congrats on the 3 awards, especially the Game of the Year! Wish I could’ve been in LA, you guys continue to impress me with how you treat your fans. What’s this hear about the skins for the motion comic not being available in the USA and then only if you buy the 4pack of the comic. I’ve been eagerly awaiting the skins and purchase each comic separately the day it came out cus I love this game so much and wanted to support you guys. Please make these skins and all future content avail to all your fans. Lastly, please do something about team killers like a 100K penalty EACH TIME! And do something about those shameful high ranks that glitch to play with 3 boosters (1 neg and 2 positive ).

yeah congrats on GOTY and all the other awards, im sure your going to earn the same prestigious awards at all the other award shows…

I do feel sorry for Gorilla Games who I personally think had the best graphics!

Posted by: adodge8957 on 12-13-2009

ND you guys are the best. This is my favorite game. Also, congrats for winning the goty. Jack Black winning best voice was wrong. That should have been Nolan North hands down. You guys should have also won best action/adventure instead of repetitive assassin’s creed 2.

Posted by: SLEEMOXX on 12-13-2009

I’m still in shock… I thought for sure MW 2 would get it due to the hype and Uncharted 2 curb stomped .... Congrats Naughty Dog all of your hard work and dedication has paid off, you guys deserve all the awards you could possibly get for creating one of the greatest games ever made.

I feel a disturbance in the Force as if millions of Modern Warfare 2 fanboys cried out in confidence and then suddenly silenced.

Posted by: EliteHitokiri on 12-13-2009

Yes 100K penalty 4 team killing. It is your faulty if you don’t say anything to warn them. I do see your point, but other than saying it ain’t your fault, offer up a better solution. Anyway, Congrats again ND on your 3 VGAs. No offense to Jack Black but he was the last one I thought would win that VGA. To be fair, I didn’t play Brutal Legend. But I can’t stand him and his stupid act on the VGAs was retarded. Nollan or Claudia should’ve got it. Emily Rose should’ve been in there 2! Anyway I’d love to see a Uncharted 2 dynamic theme.

Posted by: zahidabbasi on 12-13-2009
