Ah, yeah, forgot about Gears 3. That does have a DECENT shot, but not really likely.
And of course, there's like a million different GOTY winners for a million different websites, so it'll differ somewhat. But for the most part, I still feel it will be a fight between Portal 2 (my choice for winner, if not my choice for actual better game) vs Uncharted 3, with Gears 3 nipping at the heels.
I would cut that list down quite a bit, but yeah, there's a lot of GOTY contenders this year; maybe more than any other year.
This would be my list, based on what's out, and what we know about what's coming:
Uncharted 3 (strong candidate)
Portal 2 (strong candidate - seriously)
Battlefield 3/Modern Warfare 3 (I'm really hoping these don't win)
Infamous 2 (weak GOTY contender compared to the rest)
Batman: Ark...
That's pretty cool. But I really hope that both versions look great, so people will stop complaining and start enjoying the game. I want this game to do well, so let's get hyped up to play, not complaining about a bit of graphical difference.
No real gamer would ever question that, yes, FOX is the worst news outlet.

Uh, I would call it an emergency for Square. It's time to break the glass.
If you're standing around in the game, staring at textures to compare to the other systems, then I hope you get killed ... in the game.
I don't see that as a "fix" being needed, I see that as a workaround to get these high resolution textures loaded on a console when there's not enough ram. I think it's absolutely terrible, but it also seems like the only way on the Unreal engine to get them loaded on consoles.

Dude, relax. These are comments, it's not a research paper. No one's going to go do research before they comment, they just say what they think or feel. You need to lighten up.
This excuse is used SO often that I'm not only sick of hearing it, but I'm questioning it's logic. Can you name me 1 time when a game was rushed, released buggy and early, to make more money and ACTUALLY MADE MORE MONEY? (i.e. had more sales than if they had waited). Of course not, it doesn't work that way.
The example that comes to mind is Dragon Age 2, and actually, I think this is the only example for EA in recent history (madden doesn't count; the NFL...
I can't really argue with this list. I would add one more thing though, which kills all MMO's if not done right: have a good launch. What I mean by this is, have enough and strong servers that will handle the millions of people who will be playing. If everyone can't get on at launch, they will get mad, then get bored, and go somewhere else. I can't think of one MMO (even WoW) that had a GREAT launch, though some have been ok. And then many have been downright disasters. They n...
True. NOW comes the real test: can they do what most MMO's DON'T do and actually have a decent launch? It's all about the first couple of weeks to see if they can sustain support for all the millions who will want to play.
In all fairness, how many times has this come up, where people are judging this console vs that console (360 vs ps3), and one of them is SIGNIFICANTLY worse than the other? I'm guessing not many times (only Call of Duty: Black Ops comes to mind right now, but I'm sure there's others; but probably not many). For the most part, most of the games that are released are pretty much the same except for maybe some slight graphical changes, maybe a small bug here and there, but nothing re...
There's not much more I can say that others haven't said. I just want to play the game!
Look I like DICE and all, and I want their game to do well, but this is not helping them at all. By releasing the game so soon after the beta starts, there's very little chance that the problems found will make it to the retail disc. That means that reviewers won't have the most up to date version, and there will be bugs; they won't have access to the day 1 patch, so th...
Uh, no. Look at Mag and Resistance 2 ... then look at Battlefield 3. THAT'S why it won't have 64 players. Not because the 360 is holding anyone back.
I would assume. It's bad enough (good enough?) that you have helicopters and tanks, but if you throw in jets ...? That would be a bit much.
I didn't read it but ... so? He was probably a jerk.
Why are we discussing this? Seriously people, for whoever approved this, go watch some abc family or lifetime drama if that's what you want, leave n4g for gaming news.
Ugh, that's one of the reason's I don't like playing that map :/
They won't ever charge for it in the future, guaranteed. Why? Cause they'd be eaten alive. If they did come out with a charge for it, it would have to be a totally different system, not this Battlelog that we're getting.
His favorite game is the PC-UPGRADE-GAME ULTRA EDITION!
What am I saying, I've played that game before myself ...
I've talked to a rep at EA about this. He said they will never take a game off your account unless they refund your money as well.
