Very nice to see Resistance 2 a nominee for best multiplayer. To bad GTA4 will probably win game of the year. Fallout 3 should be the winner but i haven't played MGS4 and even though i haven't i pretty much just know it's better. So ill say Fallout because it's fucking awesome and addicting.

 

[Solid Stinger the Big Boss]

Fuck the awards imo


God of War 3, Fight Night Round 4, and Uncharted 2=win

 

[Solid Stinger the Big Boss]

I know it'll be hard to sway a forum full of wrestling fans like myself away from Armageddon, but if you're a gamer and interested please checkout the Spike VGA at 9:00pm.

Its today.

 

[LadyHotrod]

I'm marking for GTA 4 <3

 

[Solid Stinger the Big Boss]

I haven't even finished the original GTA4 because it was boring, I won't be buying the dlc add on.

All I really wanna see is God of War 3, Uncharted 2, and Fight Night RD. 4

Some surprise announcements like FFVXIII for 360, PS3 price cut, Metal Gear for 360, or Team ICO revealing their next game wouldn't hurt.

 

[O-Blaze]

I'll probably watch this tonight idk yet. Most likely DVR it then watch it later on.

 

[Solid Stinger the Big Boss]

Awards are starting right about NOW.

 

[J]

What a Joke! GTA 4 wins Game of the Year. You have GOT to be kidding me.

Edit: Jack Black sex scene with Ps3 and 360 = Priceless.

 

[Solid Stinger the Big Boss]

The awards fucking suck and God of War 3 better improve graphically in due time because it looks like shit.

VGA=FAIL

[Nation]

Fucking terrible but not as bad as the x play awards. Fable 2 game of the year? lmao. 80% of the awards given out were bullshit and others were disagreeable. Ill start with best shooter. I love Gears and i can admit that the campaign is probably better then Resistance 2's campaign but mutliplayer and improvement Resistance wins. Horde mode looks sick but ill take the 8 player co op which is even sicker. Just multiplayer in general for Resistance wins. It's easy to do everything and again the co op owns. Resistance 2 changed and fixed so much shit from the first one and the 2nd Gears barely changed anything. It just had a really awesome campaign. So im not saying that the award Gears got for best shooter was bullshit but Resistance just tops it online. Whatever though it's just an opinion it just sucks that it was predictable and if Resistance was a little more popular it might have won. Bottom line though Gears 2 has an epic campaign and Resistance 2 has a mutliplayer that can't be resisted. Speaking of multiplayer Left 4 Dead might have good multiplayer but i know it's not as fun as the 8 player co op or just online matches on resistance. But the biggest bullshit awards were Game of the year obviously, best racing game, best action game, best male performance in a game and others. Also Stinger your on drugs if you think that God of War 3 looks like shit. But yeah obviously it's supposed to look better and it will because this is just the first gameplay footage shown and it's not like it's coming out anytime soon.

 

[Solid Stinger the Big Boss]

It doesn't look like shit, but the way Jaffe hyped the graphics and the trailer I expected it to be MUCH BETTER. Then a short ass trailer with average next-gen graphics.

Hopefully Sony doesn't rush GoW3, the game better improve in due time.

Also i'm not the only PS3 fan disappointed in the trailer. It was a major let down, especially since Jaffe was hyping the graphics as the best thing ever.


The Uncharted 2 trailer looked MUCH more better.

Although I downloaded the GoW3 VGA trailer off of PSN. Watched it in 1080, it looks better but its still pretty “meh”

I expect the game to improve over time.
