IGN's Game of the Year 2008 Nominees

IGN writes:

Gamers around the world have already rung in the New Year, but 2008 has some unfinished business left: the Overall Game of the Year Award. That's right -- IGN's much coveted honor will be awarded this Friday, so ready the message boards and put on the flame retardant suits. Before we get to the award itself, IGN will be unveiling each of the five nominees throughout the course of the week (alphabetically in case you were wondering).

Be sure to check tomorrow to see what IGN's Game of the Year is!

UnSelf5969d ago

5. MGS4
4. LBP
3. I have no idea (i think its L4D)
2. GTA IV
1. Fallout 3

i tihnk GTAIV is goin to take it, not cause i want it to, but im pretty good at guessin how these sites work.

Everyone knows it should be MGS 4

Hercules5969d ago

maybe they thought it was jus a better game..but who cares..its their opinion..at least mgs4 made it as a nominee. some games (gears2. dead space, mirrors edge) didnt even make it

Helghast5969d ago (Edited 5969d ago )

This quote is copied/pasted from IGN's MGS4 review:

"Is it possible to give a game an 11? If so, this would be the game that would merit that score. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is a title that exceeds all of the hype that was attached to the title."

Also, IGN gave GTAIV a 10 and even though they also gave MGS4 a 10 but expressed that it actually deserves an 11, So to put it into perspective, you could look at it as if they gave GTAIV a 9 and MGS4 a 10.

SullyDrake5969d ago

There simply is no other. From the moment I popped in the disc, I knew it would be something special.

ericnellie5968d ago

I would definately say MGS4! I was strung out on that game like crack!!
SOCOM Online game of the year...I think not. I'd have to go with Left 4 Dead...that too...like crack!!

Metal Gear Solid 4 --Guns of the Patriots

Cartesian3D5969d ago (Edited 5969d ago )

Metal Gear Solid 4 ..

because its GOTY of PS3 (on IGN) and 360 GOTY was a multiplatform game.. so its logical to see MGS4 as overall GOTY (wii didnt offer anythin special so its between ps3 and 360)

EDIT : I know its not a perfect reason, but it shows that they already compared MGS4 with GTA4,Fallout3.. and choose MGS4 as GOTY for PS3(and they said other Nominees wasnt even close)

and remember IGN statement that they would give MGS4 11/10 if it was possible.

theEnemy5969d ago

If they will use their review scores it'll be a close fight between MGS4 and GTA:4.

But it's more likely to be MGS4.

Old Snake deserves it than anyone else.

paskowitz5969d ago

I want MGS4 to win but I do not think it is going to. I would say Fallout 3 or GTAIV is going to win. Hopefully not GTAIV. That game really left me disappointed. FO3 was great but kinda like ok I beat the game and unclocked almost everything worth unlocking now what. Same feeling with GTAIV. MGS4 has the whole package. The game came out in the summer and I am still playing it (as well as most of the people on my friends list). The replayability of that game is amazing.

Give us FO3 with all the dlc remastered like ESO. Load times faster, quality of life improvements, gun play improvements

I believe it shouldn't just be graphical they should make improvements where they can to make the game better. A simple face lift isn't what's needed

ZeekQuattro26d ago

Still my favorite one. I remember getting a digital copy of FO3 when I got FO4(XBO). It was nice to finally play a stable version of the game. Then when I got a Series S it was an even better expierence. Quick resume and FPS boost made it feel like a whole new game. Updated gunplay would be very welcome though. One of the few things FO4 did better.

New Vegas and Morrowind should have been first!

Christopher34d ago

Fairly certain we all know that New Vegas isn't getting anything because it's not a Bethesda developed game.

OMGitzThatGuy34d ago

MS owns both devs, if they want it, a 3rd party will make it.

Christopher34d ago

***MS owns both devs, if they want it, a 3rd party will make it. ***

I think the issue is that it's not a Bethesda developed game, not that MS owns both. This is more about Todd.

RaidenBlack33d ago (Edited 33d ago )

Yep ... Todd doesn't like getting bettered within his own IP scope.
I still think of the Elder Scrolls spin-off Obsidian pitched similar to New Vegas, but Todd rejected.

RaidenBlack33d ago (Edited 33d ago )

Replayed NV more than FO3 ... so I appreciate the FO3 remaster more.
For NV, I'd much prefer a sequel or a spinoff from Obsidian.

FTLmaster34d ago

Got a soft spot for Fallout 3, so I'd be down to play this.

-Foxtrot34d ago

It's crazy New Vegas wasn't worked on first to launch alongside Fallout Season 2.

They could have added all the cut content they had planned but didn't have enough development time to add, possibly even expand on it a little more. For example, have the Vegas strip as one big hub over being chopped into smaller sections we have to keep loading into.

neutralgamer199234d ago

Would love a complete remake or sequel with enough resources

Abnor_Mal34d ago

The only Fallout game I’ve played, PS3 had to keep stopping every few minutes to save. Next thing I knew the credits were rolling and I never did any side quest. I never replayed the game because of all the bugs the game had.

Yui_Suzumiya33d ago (Edited 33d ago )

I've played Fallout 3 more than any game. I lost count many years ago of how many times I finished it. It was my first Platinum trophy. But yeah, it was buggy on PS3 at launch before it got properly patched.

anast34d ago

They are only remaking their games that have been streamlined.
