Wtf...No FEAR? Call of Duty 2? But no FEAR? Technology Battlefield 2: Modern Combat ? Project Gotham Racing 3 ? A racing game beats FEAR or BF2? A console version of BF2 beats the pc version @ TECHNOLOGY!!!! WTF

Have these people lost their minds?

 

[Javert]

I actually like the nominees, especially seeing how God of War will probably sweep. To be sure, FEAR was a good game, but not so envelope-pushing in terms of art or tech.

I wouldnt say game of the year even tho i never played God or War. I really wanted to but wasnt a console gamer till the 360. I just dont see how the Console version of BF2 can beat out the Pc version. Have you see then videos/screenshots? Its horrible.

Yea, but it was probably harder for them to accomplish.

Psychonauts! WOO DOUBLE-FINE +1!

Wow: TellTale and Double Fine are up for best new studio! What a great day for indie gaming! There's a 40% chance the best one will win! :thumbs:

God of War was absolutely amazing, though. The fact that so much was crammed so beautifully into a PS2 game shows you just how much we don't need the "next-generation" yet. Too bad MS had to be greedy and rush their console out--it was the only way for them to gain any sort of marketshare since they handily lost the current gen. Oh well.

Best game nominee is The Movies by Lionhead? Has Peter Molyneux ever come up with a good idea since Populous?

Exactly. It's a technology award, so the PS2 BF2 probably used some good tech to get huge maps on the PS2. Although I've not played it.

Good idea? Yes. Good game? No.

But with each new generation, the consoles are completely dependent on hardware/software technology pioneered on the PC platform. Without the PC platform, the consoles wouldn't amount to much generally speaking.

9 out of 10 games are on console. FEAR wasn't really recognized.
