1st stage of Best of 2008: MGS4 wins 5 awards!

wow ...Mr. Kojima deserves it :) starfxxxer

Also, if you weighed graphics against the limitations of the platform it's on, then it is entirely possible for, say, a DS game to win it. Do you believe that that is absurd? I do. thepwninator

All it needs to do is beat GTAIV in Best Game of the Year and this Cinderella story will come to an end.

Personally I'm pulling for NHL 2009, Baird to win. It'll put an end to MGS 4 Cinderella Story and upset more people.

That'll cause an even bigger riot than MGSIV beating out Crysis for best graphics. :P

:D MGS4 owns! It's my Game of the Generation :P. I agree with all of the awards except Crysis Warhead is better graphical technical achievement lol. Still, MGS4 has the most momentum for winning GotY.Episode_Eve

from these awards its MGS4 or Braid...

needless to say I'm pulling for MGS4 :P

Overrated for sure. I played the demo and I don't feel like running out and buying it.

Sucks too because I wanted it to be good, Heck I had more fun with the Uncharted demo.

Totally over-rated and proof GS sucks. Bunch of losers I say.

I was just playing MGS4 on one of my old HDTV's that I have here, its a 720p DLP TV. I must say that the graphics look nothing like when I 1st played it on my newer 1080p LCD. Playing it on my old TV made it almost unplayable. When I 1st played MGS4 I was thinking to myself this game looks way better than Crysis, but I guess I can understan some people now when they hate on MGS4 and its graphics.GTSaiyanjin2

Well its official, gamespot has absolutely 0 credibility now.Vaasman

Do you honestly believe there wasn't some degree of bias in there? Hell, it even beat out Crysis Warhead for best graphics. Doesn't that raise some alarms for you?

It really won best technical graphics? A little part of me just died inside.mattbbpl

My one friend who always thought MGS 4 was stunning, was like "OH MY LORD! This game looks amazing." When I played Crysis Warhead in front of him.

sweet..

deserves it though... but am pretty sure gamespot has a logical explanation why it won graphics, technical...

well, cheers to one of the best games this generation! :D

you guys are still complaining about this? GameSpot explained themselves didnt they. The graphics gave the best immersion into that games world. Why is that so hard to except? The cutscenes streamlined into gameplay and the quality of those cutscenes are what won it. Not necessarily polygon counts or resolution or textures but the immersion of the whole package. My god why r u guys so heated over this? Its graphics anyways they dont make a game good we all know this.

Besides you guys are acting like a Wii game got best technical graphics or something.

It deserves four of those awards, but definitely not the techinical award...I'm not sure what Gamespot was thinking.

Still, it's funny how the haters are latching onto to Gamespot's mistake and acting like it's some slight against the game itself. :?

Haha, like this will calm the storm? Rationality doesn't visit here often. ;)

Though it's nice to know they explained it and I agree, I'm still amazed at how seamlessly the game transitions from cutscene to gameplay.

MGS4 DOES have best technical graphics. Try running Crysis on PS3 hardware, it won't look half as good as MGS4. That's the best use of hardwaref50p90

wait some guy left because the 360 got pwned? :lol: awesomeMarloStanfield

And it is with this **** that I bid System Wars farewell. It is time to hang up my cap, as Gamespot's idiocy has finally stripped all of the little respect I had left. The XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXtremely pathetic choice of nominees for Ecksbawkes GOTY was one thing, but allowing Movie Gear 4 to win Best Technical Graphics, over not just Banjo, which didn't even get a nomination, but CRYSIS? Good luck lesser trulls. We are now in our recession. SSCyborg

such a silly thing to do so because of a site's opinion but I cant say you'll be missed
