Hands down

Im disgusted to see bitter fanboys hyping only exclusive games when by far its the multiplats that will deliver the most.

- Huge open world

- Choose your style gameplay ( run in at noon guns ablazing or wait until dark to sneak to your objective )

- Dynamic AI that actually will use tactics against you such as sending out patrols and giving chase in a vehicle ( never been done before without scripting )

- Fire propagation on a massive level , set a fire in some grass outside of camp and watch it spread and burn the whole camp down

- Destructable enviroments

- Dynamic weather that will actually damage the enviroment and possibly start fires

- Full night and day cycle ( that you will be able to control by going to sleep )

- AI driven wildlife ( the first thing im going to do is bag me a rhino )

- Epic multiplayer in these massive worlds

- A level editor that will ship with all versions of the game making the gameplay limitless ( and with the new game engine its going to be fantastic )




Anyone who thinks Gears or killzone can compete with that is insane

Mirrors edge? LOL

Far Cry 2 is open world, features the most advanced AI ever concived.

30 weapons. Wildlife. 50 SQ KM and over 50 hours of gameplay

Mirrors edge looks so bare bones

FC2 is GOTY (well...Mercenaries 2 might take it)

I'm sure Far Cry 2 will be a good game, but Game of the Year? Hell no.

Something like S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky would be a more likely candidate.

How about we wait until the end of the year? I don't know, just seems like a good idea to wait until all of the games are out.

It looks good, but declaring it's gonna be the game of the year , "hands down," is a little haughty IMO. The competition is just too tough to make a decision at this point. GTA4, Fallout 3, Fable 2, GeoW 2, ect. are all games that could easily nudge Far Cry 2 out of the nomination for GOTY.

Far Cry 2 looks great, really does, but it is not going to be GOTY IMO. Nominated? HELL YES.

I think, truly, LBP will be GOTY, that or maybe MGS4. But because everything else is something of the same; shooters and whatnot. LBP is a real next gen game, and one of the best in a long long time.

You're right. The vast majority of internet users don't post constructively, so why shouldn't you? In fact, many people use crack, so why not take up the habit? Many drive drunk, so do that too.

It's easy to use "buh...buh...buh no one else does so like why should I???!!??!??!!?1111?" as an excuse for your behavior, but it makes you look like a jackass.

Despite my previous posts i do think this gonna be a great game. as long as there arent any mutants seriously couldnt beat the first game cuz of them. the buddy system is one of the cooler features in my opinion, adds a real nice feel to it that any character can die at any given time.

just because a game changes a genre doesnt mean its goty quality, once again im not saying its gonna suck its probably gonna be great but we cant say " game of the year hands down " right this second. For example Spore is pretty much revolutionary but i dont think it will be winning goty.

Yeah, mods have been done before, but not like LBP, not in a form of a game and easy to create amazing fun levels. Just look around, read everything on LBP, watch all the videos, and then tell me its like garrys mod.

Nobody cares? Uhh, yeah, wake up. XD

Lol, seriously? Mercs 2 will most likely not even be nominated, with titles such as Gears 2, LBP, Fallout 3, Mirrors Edge, etc. Too many for Mercs 2 to squeeze in, IMO.

You're comparing apples and oranges. Or apples and apple juice, at least. You can't argue that Little Big Planet is attempting to serve the same function as Garry's Mod. It's presented in a completely different way. It's simpler, but this simplicity allows it to appeal to a larger audience. Garry's Mod seems to me like more of a toolkit, whereas Little Big Planet is presented as a game (albeit with heavy emphasis on player-created content), and as such has a particular look and feel which people can identify it by. I'm not saying either are better or worse, but comparing them is kind of like comparing a programming language with some Wiki software: they both allow people to create content, but they are presented in different ways, have different capabilities, and are for different purposes.

I personally wouldn't call Little Big Planet game of the year, and it certainly didn't invent player-created content, but your comparison is pretty silly.

Anyway, as fantastic as Far Cry 2 looks, it's stupid to make such bold claims about games that aren't even out and years that we're barely half-way through. Stating that nobody posts constructively on the Internet doesn't justify it. The Internet is stupid. Don't add to the problem.

I'm not sure what people see in being so stand-offish about games. I suppose they must find it fun, but it seems tremendously futile to me.

I'd like to play FC2 before I start saying it will be game of the year, especially with Fallout 3, Gears 2, Left 4 Dead among many more great looking titles coming out this year. At the very least it looks like it will be a very very solid game.

  And again FC2 looks great, but its not as amazing as he is making it out to be. I forget, does it have multiplayer? I dont think its totally changing the genre and whatnot, your being a little silly and over enthusiastic about what the game really is, but it will be an awesome awesome game no doubt, GOTY, I just dont think so.

Gears 2 has a pretty good shot at GOTY. It adds a bunch of new multiplayer modes and the Horde mode. The graphics are also updated. Not only that but Cliffy promised a longer story mode with a lot more action.

I've never really been a big fan of the Far Cry series despite being an avid PC gamer. They always devolved into some kind of weird scifi theme thing that totally ends up ruining the overall nature of the game itself. Now, atleast from what we've heard so far, thats simply not the case with Far Cry 2. I'm willing to put aside my fears and try the game out, but if there are mutant killer ape monkie african devil rat things that begin chasing you down then I will be extremely frustrated.

I would also think so, easily take the GOTY spot.... that is if Fallout 3, Resistance 2, LBP, Fable 2, and many many more weren't in its way.

360 GOTY maybe, though.

I know im talking to the equivilent of a shoe thats been brainwashed
But why in gods name would you want to waste your time making levels just so you can

A.) Run through that "creative" level to get to the other end

or

B.) make a level with your freinds online to...... get to the other end

Even with enemies added in it doesnt change the fact you are stuck with huge limitations


The fact that the gameplay is forced into  a sidescroller is the reason it will fail.
 If the game had 3d enviroments to create in , you might have yourself a decent game

but it seems sony is doing its job of convincing people that they need to buy their products however limited and boring they get.

Not that I necessarily think that Fable 2 will get a GOTY award, but I don't think the length of the game is going to be the thing that keeps it from that.  Portal is far shorter and won GOTY from several publications.

In a year with Grand Theft Auto 4, Metal Gear Solid 4 (one of my favorite games ever) and Gears of War 2, the chances are pretty slim.

but it seems sony is doing its job of convincing people that they need to buy their products however limited and boring they get."

Wow, brainwashed? Seriously? Because I think LBP is going to be an amazing game which analysts, and majority of gaming sites also believe? The game is going to be great, and you need to lookinto it way more before making such claims as you are, its not a sidescroller, its in sidescroller fashion yes, but there is no one forcing you to go from left to right, point A to B, or whatever. There is a lot of ways to do things, and again I urge you to read up and watch whatever you have missed, which seems like 90% of things, before you judge again.

Truly said that you are arguing that LBP is not a good game/non GOTY worthy. Read up son, because its obvious you know very little.
