The only games I see that has a chance of scoring AAAA, is spore and lbp. I'm sorry to the mgs4, Super Mario Galaxy, halo 3, and mass effect fanboys but, there is no way those games will score AAAA.

Doubt LBP will get AAAA, and Spore, well, we'll see when it arrives in 2010.

You think LBP has a chance at AAAA? :lol:

The only game that has a chance is Spore... and its chance ran out 2 years ago. When it does finally come out, it will be knocked for being outdated graphically.

LBP is doing nothing innovative. It is just a glorified level maker. We've had those for decades. Sure, its going to be a good game but comparing it to the likes of Spore? Funny.

of course there will be AAAA games. Video games are still developing and evolving as concepts and as long as there is still progress there will always be a chance that a forward looking dev will do something really incredible. I dont think you can predict them though. Your choices are good, but it is foolish to hype anything as AAAA.

AAAA is 10 right? Game Informer gave Bioshock a 10 so there you go. And its very narrow-minded to just put those 2 titles on the poll

Yes. Tell me what exactly its doing new that hasn't been done before in video games.

Spore is bringing actual procedural evolution into games.

honestly, what are the underrated games on gamespot? I was angry after the twilight princess review but after playing it I agree that it is not AAA, but still awesome. Even now, when I hear their justification arguments I totally understand what they mean. Gamespot still has the best reviews out there, imo

(I wonder if those early reviewers are bribed with getting the privilege of getting an earlier review,giving overrated reviews in exchange)

Spore is bringing actual procedural evolution into games.

Spore is just a glorifiedrpg with simcity features.You build your own character stats, which thus changes the way he adapts to the world, and the way he looks. You create a character (similar to oblivion, etc), and this character goes through more or less grows into many (similar to a sim city). It may be called evoloution, but face it sim city, civilization, and many other games had procedural evoloution.l

Did they have evolution from single-celled bacteria all the way up to inter-galactic, space-faring aliens with completely player created content? No...

Spore, is sim city, that goes through 3 stages, and has a character developer. There is nothing special about spore, except its theme about evolution (which was shown in sim city, how cities evolved from small towns over time). His arguement that lbp didn't do anythign innovative at all, is wrong.

Spore.. it reminds me of a game (cannot remember name) on SNES which allow you to evolve into either birdman, lizardman, mermaids, homosapeins, etc. from a fish (or some creature earlier, cannot remember :? ), then combine elements from sims, stragety games like civilization, then Black & White...

I wouldn't call it innovative as well...

Anway, I doubut both of them would be AAAA at gamespot.

Kind sounds like Sim Earth? I rented that once, couldn't figure out what I was doing since it didn't have the instruction manual. I had a society of starfish people. Awesome.

What is innovative about LBP?

The fact that you can make basically anything using the game's tools. Not just levels, but objects, tools, enemies, and more. And it's all tied together with an interface that's very simple to understand. In no time, anybody can create something interesting and new. You can't create a game with boxing robots in a level editor.

If it was just a glorified level editor, every single person in the industry wouldn't be crapping their pants over the game.

It wouldn't blow me away if GameSpot gave Mass Effect a 10 based on what I've seen. I mean, the main problem I see is with bugs. A lot of the reason that Knights of the Old Republic only scored in the low nine's (I know, only, right?) was because it was filled with bugs. Mass Effect looks a whole lot better than KOTOR in my eyes, but it's yet to be seen if it has a lot of bugs and if the frame rate can stay steady. Either way, I'm totally pumped for it.

I may have been exaggerating a bit, but people are really positive about this game.

Here's Gamespot's Leipzig impressions of the game, where they make the boxing robots I reference above.

Zack and Wiki might be the first game to get a 0.0. I think Gamespot is too harsh to ever give anything a 10.0.....and that's a good think as far as I'm concerned.

9.5 is the new 10.

I don't agree with Gamespot's review system one bit, but I think it'll be rare to see AAA games let alone AAAA.

Halo 3 or Crysis are the only games that might get 9.5 or 10...
Crysis should probably get a 10/10 but then again I said the same thing about Bioshock and Armed Assault... haha...

Halo 3 though... well... It has to get a 10 just because its Halo! Fanboys would probably explode if it gets ANYTHING LESS than a 9.5... thats just fanboys and because its Halo...

Then again... with the amount of money M$ has... it wouldn't be too hard for some of it to vanish under the table...

why does the tcput spore as one of the two possible AAAA titles and then have messages in the topic saying how it is nothing special? TC has a strange choice of AAAA possible titles.

Halo 3 wont have a chance at a 10. Its a sequal, usually sequals can show their age over time and may bring down the lasting value.
