Sarcasticgamer.com picks it's final Nominee for Game of the Year, and it's a controversial one.
From the article: "This is it. The last pick. The final of the five. Its controversial, but it's all mine. Look, there were a ton of GREAT games released this year. Of the games that I played, there are a few that stood out to me. Several notables under consideration include Gears of War 2, GTA IV, Dead Space, NBA 2K9, Fable 2, Too Human (yes Too Human) and perhaps Call of Duty: World at War. All are fine games. All could be Sarcastic Gamer's fifth Nominee for Game of the Year.
Find out what the controversial pick is, after the jump."
Former Visceral Games devs reveal Dead Space's marketing budget was cut in favor of Mirror's Edge because of mock review scores.
I wish EA would just release a DS2 remake. DS is my favorite horror game and DS2 is the best one in the franchise. But because DS1 failed to meet certain numbers EA scrapped the DS2 remake. SH2 remake was great rumors are Konami might be asking for another SH remake. The RE2 remake was great EA just needs to give it another try. But all they seem to do is shitty sports games that are no different from the year before. Change a few players, add different uniform colours, maybe change a team logo. Wash, rinse, repeat.
Agreed. DS was great. But DS2 was even better. Would love to see a DS2 remake, though I would love to see a DS4 even more.
The problem with EA is they make easy $ from the slight changes to their sports titles like football FC games (whatever it’s called nowadays). People just lap that sh1t up.
Comparatively, games like DS which don’t sell 10s of millions, can’t sell them team player add ons and all the like, would seem a hassle to make and unappealing comparatively. Especially when you consider that most EA non sport titles haven’t actually performed well recently.
Dark Souls 2, Darksiders 2, Dead Space 2, Death Stranding 2, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2
The Dead space remake was so good. Better than the original. Shame they won't remake 2.
I loved the original dead space but the remake I just found boring. Game design has moved on and the game really showed its age, just small area encounters repeated again and again.
I bought Dead Space during launch window and I never bought a Mirror's Edge game .
It seems that in Season 4, DICE has snuck in a Battlefield 2042 Mirror's Edge Easter egg in the new Flashpoint map.
GF365: "There are some games with extraordinary visuals that impress us to this day. Here are old games with outstanding graphics."
Same as Killzone 2 and 3, uncharted 2 and 3, Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3
I wish this was entirely true, but you might want to load up Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 again.
@jason I watched some gameplay videos of KZ2 and R3 on my full screen. They are on par or succeed graphically to the first person shooters mentioned in the article that also launched on the seventh generation of consoles. Try the same and see what you think
Killzone 3 was super impressive! I could not believe the graphics back then as I was regularly pausing the game to stand in awe looking at the surroundings! Resistance however did not impress me that much. Heavy rain is also another amazing graphically speaking game. It almost felt next gen
I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.
They did for their day. I recently played gears judgement with on the 360 and the draw distance was so blurry. The characters up close look great though
Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.
It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good
I don't give two sh!ts about this site.
Okay, while very interesting to see, I highly doubt that this will be game of the year, not saying that this is a bad game but, when you have other games fighting for the same crown, it's hard to say that this game "could" be the game of the year. I do like the unique style gameplay of this game though. It took First Person style gameplay to another level and it shows what developers can do if they really put their minds to it but, game of the year I don't see happening for this game.
No.
This guys are totally out of their mind.
- Far Cry 2
- Fallout 3 - ok
- MGS 4 - ok
- Left 4 Dead
- Mirors Edge
The other 3 shouldnt be there.
A more accurate title of the article would perhaps be "Sarcastic Game is Definitely Worthless Site."
