I'm getting tired of people just saying Banjo is a better platformer than Mario just because it scored higher than Mario 64. Don't get me wrong I think the Banjo games are some of the best platformers and pretty close up there with Mario, but guess who paved the way for Banjo. That's right, it was Mario in Mario 64. Banjo had everything to learn and build on from Mario 64.

And to the people who are saying that Super Mario Galaxy won't even be a candidate for GOTY, I think yall are just nuts. Plain and simple. If Super Mario Galaxy is as revolutionary as Mario 64, then it should definitely be up their with the best of 2007.

No not really but their will be at least 15-20 maybe more they will have to consider for goty, It wont win goty period it will be lucky to get nominated although they will have a good chance to win the platform catagory along with Banjo and Ratchet and Clank, They proabaly win it if it meets the quality the game its spose to be.

Theirs alot of awsome games coming out in 07 and its probaly the best ever gaming year in history.

Quake Wars

Crysis

Stalker

Spore

Mass Effect

Bio Shock

Halo3

Gta4

Blue Dragon

Lost Odessey

Ut3

Bia

Assassins Creed

The Darkness

Heavenly Sword

Lair

Dmc4

Mp3

Mario Galaxy

Theirs probaly a whole lot more and multiplatformers count so it will be tough for any game to win.

Plus, Banjo  just scored higher than Mario here...On Gamerankings(which is a cumulative of reviews from many many sites) Mario is among the top ten greatest games ever along with OoT, Goldeneye, Metroid prime, Halo, Soul Calibur e.t.c e.t.c Banjo is no where to be found...

I agree with you that 2007 could possibly be one of the best years for gaming, but I personally think some of the games you mentioned can be weeded out of the competition. Not that they are bad games, I just don't see them as GOTY material. But who am I to say that really. These are my top ten nominees: Mass Effect, Super Mario Galaxy, Spore (I think this will be the winner), MP3, Halo 3, GTA4, Crysis, Bioshock, DMC4, Assassin's Creed. If MGS4 is released this year, then it would definitely take the place of one of the games I mentioned. And of course, different opinions for different people.

No, it's the decrease in scores from all media critics that prove this theory. Not suck, but not who they were. PD>>PDZ still by GR, Banjo titles... well we shall see. Where's GE level of games from them? So far it's a remake of one old title, that I've played to death, despite looking new I don't see it being AAA either....

1) Banjo is a better platformer regardless of how it got there...the level design is more innovative, the play mechanics are more in depth and its harder for the most part than SM64. I've seen nothing in SM64 as brilliant as the forest area in Banjo with the different seasons, or the dock area, or the sewer area for that matter..and I've beaten SM64. 2) It can definitely be a candidate depending on how it turns out, but I don't think it will win it somehow. Also, I severely question the idea that it will be as "revolutionary" as SM64.

Not really..I'm not that interested in the 360 Banjo right now but I've always considered N64's Banjo Kazooie to be the best platformer I've played on the system (out of SM64, BK, Glover [not in the same league], Gex 3 [likewise], and DK64).
Banjo sux compared to Mario titles. Please. Thats like saying killzone was a halo killer. Anyways It looks promising....WTH doesnt Smash Bros Brawl look like this...serious????!?!?!?!?!?!Japanese_Monk
The old N64 titles are both technically and gameplay-wise superior to SM64, but I don't know about the 360 game...theres really very little information at this point. Right now I've got no hype for either of them.

SM64 paved the way for 3D platforming...When it came out there was nothing like it before.....Thats why its revolutionary and why its top ten on gamerankings..

Though alota 3D platformrers have flooded the scene since SM64, Super Mario Galaxy is doing something no game has done- Twisting the dimension.

I have to agree with both of those points. It definitely is true on either side.

Its also SOOOOOOO funny that people act like I said Rare sucks and agreed with the other idiot sheep who thought that the game would be bad, or did I not say it would be amazing in my original posts....?

Oh yea, Rare suck right now with M$,

They ruled back in the SNES and N64 era. But now, Rare needs to die.

My faith in nintendo is renewed. That trailer has just shown me why SMG smashes every single game thats coming out for either the 360 or the ps3 to oblivion. I don't care what any1 says, graphically it looks amazing, and that blue horizon just looks beautiful.. The gameplay is ingenious, and takes platforming to a level that banjo or ratchet will never reach.

 Lemmings can cry mass effect all they want, If gamespot aren't blind, then they'll give this amazing piece of innovation the GOTY.

Lemmings, and especially you savage whatever your name is, you do understand that GOTY's are given to games that bring something new and refreshing to the industry? Games that blow the editors away? Games that bring new and innovative gameplay?  You list 50 games, half of which will be average or just plain crap, and then you say SMG wont even stand a chance?

GOTY's are not given to the the best graphically looking games. If you can't understand that then theres no point in arguing. Graphically SMg looks beautiful. Graphics whores will always complain i guess.

*EDIT: Give me 3 good solid reasons of why Banjo or ratchet and clank will be better platformers. one of your reasons will most certainly be the graphics, but then you'll get stuck and feel silly.

[QUOTE="Ontain"][QUOTE="D0wnfall1"]The chances of this game getting GOTY over Mass Effect are about as small as a anorexic womens Body Fat Index. savage161

what would you know? you feel you don't even need to view videos of games before you judge them :roll:

Mario Galaxy wont win Goty, Its impossible, When did the last platformer win goty, And besides it cant even beincluded in the list because their is just too many other games that make Mario Galaxy feel pale in comparison

First you got Mass Effect, Bio Shock, Halo3, Gta4, The Darkness, Assassins Creed, Ut3, Stranglehold, Re5, Blue Dragon, Lost Oddessy, Kayne and Lynch, Army of Two, Haze, Half Life 2 with ep 2, Fable 2, Eternal Sonata, Brothers in arms, Banjoo Kazooie 3, Battlefield Bc, Forza 2, Pgr4 etc

Dmc4, Heavenly Sword, White knight story, Killzone 2, Hellgate London

Crysis, Quake Wars, Stalker, Spore .

And besides the other games that the Wii has to offer and i belive handhands are not exluded as well.

But ill take the games from above and round them out to the top 10

Mass Effect, Bio Shock, Halo 3, Gta4, Assassins Credd, The Darkeness, Heavenly Sword, Hell Gate London, Ut3, Crysis, Spore, And theirs a whole lot of games that i missed and could easy fit in either catagory, Mario isnt a for shure AAA game, It probaly will but in reality it will be drowned up by all the other AAA titles which appear tobe a fewlevels over Geow.
