dwarf Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 I think some have forgotten that Killzone 2 came out this year. I don't think this will help when it comes to awards because there is no time like the present, people will only be talking about fairly recent releases. KZ2 was astoundingly good online though.
Emasher Posted November 18, 2009 Author Posted November 18, 2009 Its publicly voted for though, PS3 exclusives probably are going to have a hard time winning in some categories. You would think KZ2 would be one of the top 3 contenders for GOTY 2009 though.
dwarf Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 I disagree. The campaign was pretty tame and online modes are generally neglected when you people vote for GOTY. Obviously Cod is a different beast because everyone knows that is mainly for online, and having a set-piece style single player will keep it memorable, probably deservedly so, but KZ does deserve some sort of mention.
Daft Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Public opinion is utterly worthless. People are idiots.
dwarf Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Yeah. I'd probably value Gametrailers/IGNs picks tbh. IGN'll have an awards thing after Christmas like normal I guess (or is it before?) so this VGA thing can smd.
Emasher Posted November 19, 2009 Author Posted November 19, 2009 The VGA choices are more amusing than anything really. There's a reason my predictions are predictions and not opinions.
