Game of the Year is: Uncharted 2, lawl - How can such a generic, crappy game win.

Even MW2 would have been better.

As for Halo Reach, another example of whoever decided doing "First look" based on CGI or Cutscenes should be shot.

I honestly couldn't be happier that MW2 didn't win GoTY. It didn't deserve it and I hope it brings IW down to earth at last.

Really wanted to have seen the Medal of Honor footage.

Gametrailers.com will have it tomorrow no doubt.

(I hope :()

So thoughts everyone?

So all in all the VGAs was your typical awards show. Complete with glitzy flare and bad celebrity endorsements. It was saved by some excellent choices for the awards (though Mark Hamilton was robbed imo). With everyone getting a solid amount of praise for what was a bit of a weak year for gaming. It was nice to see MW2 not win GoTY for reasons I've gone over before which gave these awards a tiny bit of integrity.

The trailers were severely lacking for the most part. Reach was HUGELY under whelming (no surprises if I'm being honest) and these announcements over-hyped. SPIKEs handling of the streams was lackluster at best, pulling all of non officials they could get their hands on. Leaving us high and dry missing out on some of the content because of it.

Never mind though. It could have been much worse.

Low-quality Medal of Honor footage ( Thanks AJ (Y) )

You know what? That looks ****ING EPIC! I just found my new console love :wub:

As for the rest of the show, decent awards but the GOTY had me in shock, every other game might not be in my taste but they deserved it not Uncharted - It was this years biggest disappointment,

how it wins GOTY is beyond me.

EDIT: Changed footage a bit, missing the last sequence :(

I think Uncharted 2 deserved it, but I would have been happy with anything but MW2. :p

That MoH footage looks off the chain. I hope it beats 7 shades out of CoD 2010. A updated engine, a slick SP and DICE making the MP? Hmm. ;)

I hope so as well, sharp controls, decent multiplayer and awesome gunplay and we might have ourselves a new king of the war-shooters.

Aye if anything it will get IW off their arses and genuinely put some god damn passion back in to their games. Hell maybe they'll even get rid of that weak engine which is growing old in the tooth at an alarming rate.

No problem man, you're welcome.

MoH just looks like it's piggy backing the frostbite engine filling the gap for BF's lack of interesting/good SP's.

IMO they should just reboot the SP in BF games instead. MoH sucked since the very first sequel imo.

As for the GOTY award, lawl.

Batman/Borderlands ftw. Can't wait for Reach and Batman 2 (Y)

My only concern is Dice heading up Multiplayer, that usually means little to no focus on tactical gameplay and more focus on tard-tactics plus bullets are like BB pellets, you need to empty and entire clip to do some damage. That would kill the game in an instant - Hopefully both studios will stick with the "realistic" setting they are trying to achieve and create lethal weapons, then we're already half-way there.

I am ****ed. Wolverine BEST CAST? WTF? WTF? WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :| :|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|

Ghostbusters should've won. :(

edit: even the South Park game beat Ghostbusters for best Movie/TV game? EPIC FACEPALM. Show is rigged.

So just finished watching it, pretty much went as I expected. Really was glad for Naughty Dog and happy they won GOTY. It was my pick at least and they should have won it.

Other than that, my highlights were...

Crackdown 2 trailer got me amped.

Medal Of Honor looked damn crazy. Looks like their version of MW2 and I am all for that. I love the series overall so bring that on.

Finally, god damn, I never even heard of it until tonight, but that 3rd person shooter game SpecOps: The Line looked amazing visually and that it had a whole lot of potential. Definitely on my radar.
