Spec Ops was the only thing that particularly supervised me, looked good. Gunplay animation and movements seemed a lot like Uncharted (which felt great) so I'm excited for it.
EDIT: Also got a good vibe from Medal of Honor, hope it turns out well.

 

[Guardian Bob]

Paybacks a bitch?

 

[Corto]

People actually said Rocksteady was shit? If they did then they're idiots. Saying ND should have won it over Rocksteady isn't shitting on them. It's an opinion and a valid one, Rocksteady came from nothing and came up with a great game, NaughtyDog came up with a Brilliant one while delivering on what most people asked from the first as well. Prize could have gone either way and someone favouring one doesn't mean they're shitting on the other one.

No... to the bolded part. The most vocal ones were these...


"Rocksteady over Naughty Dog? Oh come on now, this is a fucking joke."


"Studio of the Year: rocksteady

lolwat more like best new studio

edit: they're 5 years old WHERE HAVE THEY BEEN?"

Medal of Honor

Jesus Christ at MoH's lighting. It makes the game look realistic. :O

 

[cakefoo]

A goty that barely anyone played :lol

Sales should be the final determining factor!

 

[Metalmurphy]

Was it the first game you played?

Yes, Uncharted 2 was the first game I ever played in my life. Ever...

If you don't know what I'm talking about maybe you haven't played it.

 

[LazerRanger]

Quick question guys was I crazy for expecting a PoP: Forgotten Sands trailer during the awards, I'm sure that was announced right?

Also excited for Batman: AA but hope RockSteady are given the time they need to make it a great sequel.

 

[Four_Chamber]

You guys are actually celebrating this sham of an awards show just because Uncharted 2 won? :lol

This

The collective GAF orgasm was entertaining though

 

[SolidSnakex]

Jesus Christ at MoH's lighting. It makes the game look realistic. :O

Yeah, that offscreen trailer really doesn't do it justice. The lighting engine looks amazing.

 

[stupei]

Spec Ops looks great. You can see they're taking some cues from Uncharted 2 too, which is great.

Pretty sure Uncharted 2 started a trend on big set pieces being actually playable. Hope we see alot more of that from now on.

Yo dawg I heard you like games so I put a game in your game so you can play while you play?

 

[NeoUltima]

So, yeah Spec-Ops looks sweet and Batman was a pleasant surprise. Medal of Honor looks like a total MW ripoff...AC130s, atvs instead of snowmobiles, night-vision, identical looking gunplay. I was really hoping they would go for a realistic tone for the game...O well. I'm probably judging it too early though, we'll see.

Best game won in the end ultimately...not that these awards hold any prestige(they way they determine winners is a clusterfuck...AC2 > UC2 in action-adventure, but UC2 wins goty?)...but for the mainstream they matter. Hopefully people watching the show saw UC2 and will pick it up, that's why I wanted it would win.

Better show than last year, but still crummy. I did have a few legit laughs though, last year(and year before) any laughs were just how bad it was.

 

[Tunin]

Spec Ops was the only thing that particularly supervised me, looked good. Gunplay animation and movements seemed a lot like Uncharted (which felt great) so I'm excited for it.

Exactely what I thought. Spec Ops and MOH surpassed what I expected, can't wait to see the HD trailers.

 

[Wario64]

Is there a list of games that won?

 

[randomlyrossy]

Yeah and is the same engine from Halo 3 and ODST, nice improvement and the story looks promising.

Uh...no.

Quick question guys was I crazy for expecting a PoP: Forgotten Sands trailer during the awards, I'm sure that was announced right?

There was, it was a fairly nothing CG thing. Could have easily been a trailer for any of the last gen games.

 

[Rustymonke]

Oh god, someone shoot me.

Occasionally I think videogames are fucking doomed. Tonight is one of those times.

 

[DMczaf]

Wow, Spec Ops and Medal of Honor are surprisingly awesome looking.

MoH's lighting...wtf.

 

[witness]

I just had it recording on my dvr and fast forwarded it trailer to trailer, show done in just a few minutes and it was awesome. I am shocked by the new Arkham trailer already, really looking forward to what they do with it.

 

[stupei]

It was there. You apparently missed it.

But don't worry, you didn't really miss anything.

 

[charsace]

It has to be the first game you ever played because your post was hyperbole.

 

[MvmntInGrn]

Exactely what I thought. Spec Ops and MOH surpassed what I expected, can't wait to see the HD trailers.

Yea I edited my post to include MOH, completely different vibe from the recent installments.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

BTW, I was hoping Rocksteady was developing the next Hitman game.

 

[-PXG-]

Reach is giving me a Call of Halo kind of vibe. Not a bad thing though. Animations are soooooooo much better. Everything is better. Bungie will not disappoint.

 

[ArjanN]

Making the big setpieces / cutscenes playable is nothing new, Uncharted 2 just does it very well.

 

[stupei]

Naughty God invented gameplay. Deal with it, Xbot.

Spoiler

I think the tent pole for "totally invented interactive set pieces" used to be God of War, yes?

 

[Metalmurphy]

It has to be the first game you ever played because your post was hyperbole.

Oh ffs...

I'm talking about stuff like an explosion throwing you off balance and animating your character differently while you still being in control, or the cover you were on gets moved/destroyed and you hang on to it with a new animation while still being in control, or a fucking building collapsing while you still being in full control, and fighting, and then jumping out of it.

You saw stuff like that on the Spec Ops trailer and you saw it on U2, can you tell me where you saw it first before that?

Making the big setpieces / cutscenes playable is nothing new, Uncharted 2 just does it very well.

You're a fucking idiot.

 

[Sipowicz]

a third person and a first person modern warfare clone

jesus

 

[four-two]

No it's not.

Bungie said it isn't, like a million times. But then again, they promised Halo 3 would look like it did in the E3 '06 announcement. So who knows.

I still think that this a new version of the same engine, but like you say, who knows.

 

[jamaniek]

Quick question guys was I crazy for expecting a PoP: Forgotten Sands trailer during the awards, I'm sure that was announced right?.

You got to missed it. I was also looking forward to it, but honestly i wasn't impressed.

 

[LazerRanger]

It was there. You apparently missed it.

But don't worry, you didn't really miss anything.

Cheers for the heads up, I didn't actually watch it live, just checked the thread about half an hour ago and was disappointed to not hear anyone talking about it.

I've decided I'm more excited for Spec Ops: The Line than MoH: Call of Warfare lol.

 

[Zophar]

Reach is giving me a Call of Halo kind of vibe.

It's probably the guy with the skull helmet that was also in MW2.

 

[webrunner]

It's probably the guy with the skull helmet that was also in MW2.

Wasn't Shooter McSkullHelmet in Army of Two as well? That guy must have a great agent.

You're a fucking idiot.

Metroid did this, and I'm sure games before it incorporated that. Contra as well.

How dare you. How DARE you.

What can you expect from such a fucking idiot?

You're a fucking idiot.

Shadow Complex won an indy game category too. And best graphics goes to Uncharted 2.

 

[adamsapple]

True Crime 3 ?

13 days ago.

Nailed it

 

[Mrbob]

[Talon]

...so what does "Indie" mean for games now? Being published by Epic counts as Indie because Chair is small scale nowadays?

 

[-PXG-]

It's probably the guy with the skull helmet that was also in MW2.

Yeah, plus the desaturated color scheme, the dialogue and overall tone. It felt more like a regular military game than a Halo game. Again, not a bad thing at all. The Elite at the end lets you know that it IS a Halo game though.

The music and animations did it for me. Very top notch. Bungie is going all out with this one. I'm tired of being cock teased though. Just show me the goods damn it. Seriously.

 

[StuBurns]

Shadow Complex won an indy game category too. And best graphics goes to Uncharted 2.

I think the term indie really needs looking at again, that and Flower are hardly indie.

 

[Danthrax]

Dudebro looks pretty much like a MW2 clone. Maybe at 30fps

MW2 is dude enough or bro enough to lick John Dudebro's boots.

BTW 60 FPS all the way baby

Spoiler

I think. I hope?

 

[Metalmurphy]

http://defaultprime.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/halflife2.jpg

True but that's a FPS so it can't compare as far as the animation department goes which was what I meant. My second post about it made it clearer.

 

[Grecco]

Shadow Complex won best DOWNLOADABLE Game. not Indy game.

 

[Rustymonke]

It won Best Downloadable.

No, it won best downloadable.
