Not really. I look at it the same way I look at independent film making. Sure you can make something on your own, but if you have a big publisher backing you with money and they get to put their name on it, you're not really in the realm of "indie." The whole point of being independent is to avoid the process of dealing with major studios and publishers.

Though most just seem to think "indie" is a really cool way to say "artsy/clever downloadable game" these days.

That's the thing, I don't think they were backed up with money for the development of the game. Just the publishing which was obvious since it was on PSN.

Best Performance by a Human Female

* Eliza Dushku as Rubi Malone
* Kristen Bell as Lucy Stillman
* Megan Fox as Mikaela Banes
* Tricia Helfer as Dare

Best Performance by a Human Male

* Bill Murray as Dr. Peter Venkman
* Hugh Jackman as Wolverine
* Samuel L Jackson as Afro Samurai/Ninja Ninja
* Shia LeBeouf as Sam Witwicky
* Vin Diesel as Richard B. Riddick

What is the point of these awards? And why are they so racist? Is it some vain attempt to attract the attention of (human) celebrities?

And why did Wolverine beat Brutal Legend for Best Cast? Why weren't Batman and Uncharted 2 nominated? Is Jack Black not a human male? How is a wolverine one? So many questions. The most important one though is; why do I care?

What did Microsoft do ? Try to sell the xbox 360 for 599 dollars ?

This is what i dont get. I thought we were all consumers here, i dont know why people defend corporations.

What features would you like ADDED to XBL

Its already worth it to me.

Yeah, it sucks, but just try to find cheap deals on the gold cards. I sure wouldnt pay full price for it either, considering that where i live, we dont have :


no 1vs100
no indie games
no netflix similar service
no movies at all, our video marketplace is only for The Guild and trailers.
etc...

On Games on demand prices vs Steam

Exactly, its like getting fucked in the ass, both by Steam and Microsoft, but Microsoft actually uses vaseline so it hurts less.

But in the end, they still fuck you in the ass.

I see. So we're all consumers like you say. Yet Sony backing out of their upgrade program is sacrilege? Seems you're a consumer alright, of MS jizz.

PS2 is selling almost as much as PS3 in the US ( about 15k diff in last NPD). So i dont call that insignifiant. But yeah Sony is doing good business for them, not for the consumer, but the consumers are actually defending this :lol

You mean like defending $50 for the same features? You didn't want any added right? I'm sure MS is just charging the $50 to be nice to you, their amazing consumer.

Halo 3 Splatter Spree Theme for 160 instead of 240.

Great news if confirmed, i wont need to take a second job now. Fuck you Ken.

Biography:
Playstation/Nintendo fanboy.

Sounds about right.

Well. Here's biography!

:lol



Well, they are boycotting! I think EA can safely drop the PS3 now.

Downloaded, but I'm not able to play it because I'm unwilling to dust off my 360 for this game.

:lol

You should have added : "not on psn" ?

360 failure rates reached 54% peak.

And i wonder how many of them were just trolls. Hurr hurr the 360 breaks, hurr and no one plays with their Wii hurrr.

On GT5

What ? A new Gran Turismo ? NO WAY!

CG BABY CG.

Well now, if you started hating on U2 before it released and continue to do so...

A goty that barely anyone played :lol

People already forget abot KZ2 ? Is uncharted the new hot thing now ?

I feel sorry for GT5.

I love all the ps3 fanboys coming here trying to downplay everything shown

SHIT MEGATON

Holy shit MEGATONS.

On Agent, a game everyone's known about for two years.

I thought Sony didnt pay for exclusives ?

Its exclusive until they announce it for 360 and PC. Simple as that.

I thought we were in 2009?

You're full of shit. Probably from MS's vaseline covered cock pushing your shit farther back up for you.

:lol :lol

Im just gonna bail out before this thread gets ugly.

For most games, the publisher does financially back the development of the game. Even on PSN & XBLA.

If it was a story-driven game, I might care, but I don't. If anything, that angle has the potential to make the game even more ridiculously over the top than the first, and I'm all for that. The trailer was great.

 

[soldat7]

Eh, I haven't played Dragon Age yet, but I doubt it can truly top Demon's Souls. Demon's Souls is a tough sell though...

Those who live by the sword, die by the sword. I know that well enough grandjedi, and my post history here on GAF is nothing I'm proud of. Especially the stuff I posted for the first year or so I was on here, I'm fine with that and anyone is free to do so if they want. What's there to hide?

Difference here is that I'm not the one attacking others constantly and saying I'm not. I've been here for a while now and you as well know the same.

UNCHARTED 2!!!

IF UNCHARTED 2 didn't win, not only I would've lost hope for this sh**ty awards show..I would've lost hope for humanity...

Especially after seeing those Guido kids on stage trying to speak the English language with Mike Tyson...who brings garbage like that on stage and considers it Entertainment?

But seriously at least they got one (three) things right.

Uncharted 2 more than deserved it.

 

[doktorpeace]

Jake Gylenhall was in totes dudebro mode for that GOTY presentation.

 

[VibratingDonkey]

Megan Fox? Still doesn't make any sense to me.

If I may put on my serious hat. The awards are supposed to be about accomplishments within the industry right? So I don't understand why having roles in popular movies would be relevant enough to garner two categories while Best Voice only gets one. Seems somewhat unfair towards the people who contribute more than what a clause in their contract tells them to.

And what is up with the "Human"? I seriously would like to know.

Best part is, Jack Black wasn't in that category :lol

 

[chubigans]

So, I was really blown away by the Spec Ops trailer. Awesome stuff.

And the awards show was easily better than the previous ones. Dunno why people cry about it so much. This show is exactly what this industry deserves. Take that as you will.

 

[neojubei]

Boom.

About time someone called him out.

I'm glad Uncharted 2 won game of the show and best graphics, but it should have also won best soundtrack.

I assume you mean score - nah, IMO they made the right call.

 

[Thunderbear]

Thanks Crushdance for outing him. People like that, no matter what camp they are in, make this forum really hard to return to but fortunately the positives outweigh the negatives.

 

[jett]

That "human" category has a really fuckign stupid title. Is the Uncharted cast sub-human or some shit? Just call it "best celebrity voice" or something.

ownage

 

[Keikoku]

But it's not a PS3 game *cries*

What a shitty shit shit show. I WANT THOSE 2 HOURS BACK GEOFF! Was nice to see U2 get a little mainstream recognition though. Plus Spec Ops, MOH, AA2, and TFU2 all looked pretty Hawt. But the show was still cringe-worthy overall. UGH! WHY DID I JUST WATCH THAT?!?

 

[J-Rzez]

Glad to hear Uncharted 2 won GOTY, but didn't win it's category, nor ND winning best studio despite making the GOTF. I respect what the batman boys did, but to quote a tv ad, "come on".

I started to watch it on my DVR but deleted it once I saw Jack Black won something, instantly setting back the videogame industry as a whole by about 10-15 years.

AA was really great. You UC2 cultists can whine all you want, but don't shrug AA off like it was insignificant.

 

[Thunderbear]

Reach looks really nice, a big step above Halo 3. Though most of the Halo 3 cut scenes were nice, the gameplay wasn't (IMO). This looks a lot more interesting. No doubt it will sell huge, really looking forward to seeing more gameplay footage. I loved Halo 1, would really love to see Halo Reach look and play fantastic.

It was interesting to see a muted color scheme considering how many people were yelling about that topic when comparing FPS's...

Haven't seen most of the other trailers yet.

Oh, and congrats ND on Uncharted 2. It would have been a travesty if it didn't receive GOTY though considering the pretty much unanimous praise in the media (metacritic, forum positive responses)... Great that it got best graphics too... although I would have picked Killzone 2.

 

[Chromax]

I'll have to disagree there.

Even though I love uncharted 2, Batman AA was not only an awesome game but a surprise hit for everyone who played it. Rocksteady deserved that award.

ND is Sony's elite team, sure, but Rocksteady were the underdogs that made one of the best games of the year despite being relative unknowns.

Developer of the year? They're as deserving as ND, if not more.

 

[Rikyfree]

People hate on TFU, but if they fix just a few of the flaws with a nice graphics upgrade and more weaponry, I'll definitely be a happy camper.

Yeah Rocksteady did the impossible they made an excellent Batman game. Now if they can make an awesome Superman game they will be the developers of the century.
