So, what do you guys think, and I want honest opinions, not fanboy opinions, What game do you think will win Game of 2007? Between GTAIV, BioShock, Halo3 and Half Life Orange Box. As pumped and excited i am about BioShock, unfortunately i think Halo3 will most likely take GoY, but then again, who knows right? What do you guys think? I Think Either Half Life, or BioShock deserve it.
You're forgetting some major games in that list. Orange box, definitely not it's just a re-release of old games, Halo 3 and GTA IV are just fan pleasers and unlikely, I think Fallout 3, Mass Effect, End War, etc. are Bioshock's biggest competitors.Originally Posted by Marko Shadows
Well, GTA IV isn't being released until 2008. And basically Bioshock will be the best game released in 2007. Ironically Metroid Prime 3 would have been my top choice, but its only once every 8 years or so that a game from the "Shock" series is released.
Critical acclaim will essentially make Bioshock the best game of the year, in alot of different editorial magazines and websites. However, it may not outsell Halo 3, so in some sense it may not be the "most commercially successful" game released this year, but it will probably the most technically superior game released this year, in terms of innovation, extreme fun, exceptional storytelling, graphics, sound, music and everything else!!
We can be sure it will get awards in other categories, and bioshock is already beating halo 3 at eb games website as game getting the most preorders. It all falls down to if this game ( which is pretty awesome) can beat those games.
umm, Orange box does have Episode 1 and 2 which are considered new games, but Fallout 3 wont come out till 2008 (september?) and GTAIV will be out Oct (end i believe). So yea.
As far as pushing the envelope further for fps genre and games in general i'd have to say bioshock from what I can see.
I mixed up 08 and 07, Episode 1 and 2 are both out hence old games, it's just a 360 port, and GTA IV was delayed to a undiscript date in 08.
I think Boishock has the best chance because MOST of its competition is sequels not an origional title.
I certainly hope that it does, it has been getting a lot of raving reviews thus far and in my opinion is one of the most inventing and ground breaking games since Half-Life. The use of enviroment and the art direction alone is going to make the game immersive enough for me to go bonkers over.
Oh and on another subject glad to be here on the forums, this is my first real post..
it doesn't stand a chance sadly, the hype of Halo will overshadow the greatness that is Bioshock.
im a huge fan of halo however i am more drawn to bioshock beacause of all the different things u can do. i also like that fact that u have to make decisions and u can do some exploring. however i think that BioShock's biggest compeitor wud b Mass Effect which i think looks very promising
err... episode 2 isn't out yet...
Half life was released in either 1998 or 1999, Half Life 2 was released in 2004 and Episode one was released in 2005 on PC and 2006 on the consoles. Episode Two is completley new, and so is Team Fortress 2 and Portal.
I don't think halo 3 will get game of the year. I'm pretty certain it'll be between Bioshock and Mass Effect. Mass Effect is just as ambitious as Bioshock; we'll have to wait and see if Bioware can pull it off.
Not in the eyes of the true fans.
People are buying up HALO3 just because it says "HALO" on the cover, they are the type of gamer that is caught in mainstream media ☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺. (I don't mean this about everyone who plays HALO, just a small few) They don't want innovation, variety of something that makes you think.
But to those that know what they are looking for, they will find it.
BioShock will be game of the year to me, I don't care if publications don't see it that way... or if they say another game out there is better. To me, BioShock is the best looking game this year... and I have complete faith that it will be the best gaming experience I've had in a long time.
i think 2007-2008 whoud be it
I think it's a competition between Bioshock, Mass Effect, and... Halo 3, DUN DUN DUUUUHHHH, THE FANBOYS ARE ATTACKING!!!! AHHHHHH
I would have to say it will be between BioShock,Mass Effect and Rock Band.
Two titles that havnt been considered here yet are Unreal tournament 3 and crysis. Both are still slated for release this year. Unreal tournament won game of the year awards, ut2003 i think only got nominations.. but unreal tournament 3 is still a very strong contender this year.
farcry was also very successful and came away with many awards. Crysis, by the same developer, just blows farcry right out of the water. Developers have given a november release.
Bioshock has some competition to be sure. loads of it.
Fact is, theres so many awesome titles releasing this year that GOTY awards wont mean much.. a winner is only going to be marginaly better, if its any better at all. In the end its going to be just a matter of taste and very subjective. The award wont mean much.
O but i still think bioshock has the originality and creativity to make it to #1 by several reviewers... but will the quality of the game shine through the fanboyism and hype of halo 3?? I guess we will see
This game may be the best game of the year, but unfortunly gamesl ike Halo and GTA will overshadow its brilliance, i can bet you money, on the spike TV VG awards, it would be nominated, but the Crowd and judges would be "Huh? Bioshock?!? that isint Grand theft auto!?!" it reminds me of 2004, when the best game of the year was clearly Metal Gear Solid 3, but Everyone just heard more about Halo 2 and its crap single player, and actualy fun multiplayer, and GTA that to me is kinda insulting serious gamers, with the advancement of technology and Games, Bioshock is innovative and fresh, something different, and would most likely be the best thing to happen to Video games, since Games went 3D and Half-life, but the games people are used to, and confortable with the same monotonous gamplay, will still overshadow True gems.
It's not like there's one single Game of the Year award, but I'm sure BioShock will get some kind of award in some publication. It's just so...awesome.
I'm sure bioshock will win Game of the Year at at least a couple places.
Personally I'd say the top three will be
-Bioshock
-Mass Effect
-Assassin's creed
Those 3 look the most innovative gameplay wise, however Crysis has a good shot too, technology wise nothing can touch crisis, the game is going to be simply amazing, especially on high end systems (8800 series graphics cards
I think Bioshock should be The Game Of 2007 But its kind of hard to tell b4 the game comes out. Halo 3 Looks good but Bioshock is a completely new Franchise.
I think Call of Duty 4 might be a a contender for game of the year as well, I dont know why, its just Call of Duty not during WW2 but the media seems to be impressed with it...
I am really hoping it is either Bioshock or Halo 3. Honestly, those seem like the only real choices. Maybe Half Life 2: Orange Box, Mass Effect, or Timeshift if it is somehow amazingly good, but Bioshock or Halo 3 seem like the most likely candidates.
There have been SEVERAL threads about this.
As crimson said, there's been several threads like this already.
Isn't Mass Effect coming this year? So is Assassin's Creed, right? There's so many games that might get game of the year it's maddening.
GTA got delayed, HL Orange box doesn't count as a game, and casuals are fans of Halo 3. God I hope Bioshock wins.
1) yep lots of these threads already
2) Why are so many people only putting shooters in contention there ARE other gneres!
3) HALO 3 WILL NOT WIN. PERIOD. Why? simple, i love the series problem is that it is not reinventing the wheel or making massive leaps, something that many other games are doing you've got to remember that HYPE COUNTS FOR NOTHING! NOTHING AT ALL! only bloody retard frat boys will complain at Halo 3 not being GOTY.
There is no doubt that this game is going to be the critics GOTY, its the kind of game that probably makes them glad to have there jobs, i bet they been fighting over who reviews it

As for the gamers ( 360 in particular ), well..what ever we like, itll be made to look like halo3 was our GOTY.
Truly i haven't seen anything on the menu that looks as appealing as BioShock granted Mass Effect has my curiosity peaked but for different reasons.
Im willing to bet that it gets GOTY (so help me science if Little Big Planet gets GS GOTY)
Halo 3 is scarie!!!
I have said it before and I'll paste it again.
HALO IS SCARY!!!
i don't like the halo series it has nothing new to offer that hasn't been done before, or done before in the same game. I'm also not much for the story line. I'm afraid of the hype for halo. example my friend was playing Dead Rising and took some mounted turret gun off a moving jeep then not 20 minutes later saw a preview for halo 3, where Masterchief did the EXACT SAME THING, he was undefinably mind blown that you could do that. If that's the kind of hype and amazement that Halo 3 has to offer, stuff thats been done before, and recently, I fear games like BioShock, with supposed innovation, and originality, will be overlooked by the blind crowed, and only found by thous who are curious enough to make a "BOLD" move to look at something new. I myself on a whim looked at the trailer on XBOX and fell in love with it at first sight. If we can convince the crowed "leaders", the ones that say HALO is the ultimate game, that BioShock is at least something for everyone to try for themselves then it may be overlooked by the media, but not the all impotent gamers. as Nintendo has proven word of mouth is very powerful especially these days with internet. If you have read this far thanks for reading and for the team at 2K, team BioShock, Cult of Rapture, and everyone here please try your part in getting the word of BioShock out there, but not forcing it upon people like a PS3, just introduce them to it. I've been informing my friends and two of them reserved LEs, and three have regulars. From my descriptions, screen shots and videos hooked them. I have four more people coming over the 21st to see it for themselves. (wow i just caught the numerical order)
all in all though i think halo 3 will get GOTY followed close if not neck and neck with three other games one being BioShock.
WHY WHY WHY?
Why will it win?
HYPE MEANS NOTHING N-O-T-H-I-N-G
There is no voting system in place for gamers to vote with who they want to win that the peoples choice awards and even then i doubt it would win given that it has been given such a bad name by the number of racist 13 yr olds on it.
Its up to the developers peers who are intelligent people to decide (well at GDC in any case) i mean cmon.
By the way when people say GOTY who are they refering to in regards to the people actually giving out the award.
by the meaning of it will win the award i mean the people who vote for it. the others that are decided by the companies, creators, and the intelligent people I'm confident Halo will fall this year.
BioShock will probably be Game of the Year, most game "journalists" try to climb over hype to find a real game of the year, in an attempt not to get flamed. Sorry for the cynicism, but it's most likely true.
Bioshock sad to say isnt even close to Mass Effect or Fallout 3.
Doesnt mean its not better.
I think game of the year is probably going to be a competition between mass effect and bioshock.
IMO it would be between Bioshock, Super Mario Galaxy, and a 3rd game that I don't know since I can't predict a 3rd choice.
