Der 'Awards 2007'-Thread

[Fortinbras]

In diesen Thread sollen die vergebenen Auszeichnungen wie z.B. die 'EDGE Awards 2007' für das Jahr 2007 gepostet werden.

Ich fange mal mit den eingangs erwähnten EDGE AWARDS an.

Valve (The Orange Box)

Best Publisher:
Nintendo (Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Primne 3)

Best Visual Design:
Bioshock

Best Audio Design:

Mein Kommentar: Ich kann mit allen Preisträgern gut leben. Schön, das SMG als bestes Spiel und als Spiel mit dem besten Sound Design gewürdigt wurde. Das Spiel hat einen hervorragenden Soundtrack, der altes mit neuem gekonnt verbindet. Einer der wenigen Game Soundtracks in meiner Sammlung.

Die Begründungen der EDGE wurden von finley bei consolewars sehr gut zusammengefasst und können hier nachgelesen werden:

Maniac Top 3 2007

1
Super Mario Galaxy (Wii) - 95%

2

3
Bioshock (360) - 93%


Mehr dazu in der aktuellen Ausgabe der Maniac.

Best Online Experience:
Halo 3

Kann ich zwar ganz gut mit leben, allerdings fand ich CoD 4 noch etwas besser, was vor allem an den Perks und den Herausforderungen lag. Na ja, Halo 3 hat's ebenso verdient, denke ich...

1
Super Mario Galaxy (Wii) - 95%

Auch, wenn die Man!ac Nintendo-Spielen (imo) oft einen kleinen "Bonus" gibt, finde ich den ersten Platz für SMG sehr gerecht. Das Spiel ist echt der Hammer und gehört ganz klar zu den drei besten Games dieser Generation, wie ich finde.

[Fortinbras]

FOX (US TV-Sender)

1. "BioShock"

2. "Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction"

3. "Super Mario Galaxy"

4. "Mass Effect"

5. "Rock Band"

6. "Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3"

7. "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare"

8. "Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords"

9. "Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure"

10. "The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass"


—THE REST OF THE BEST: A few other games that didn't make it into my top 10 deserve some mention:

Best game that almost seems like an afterthought: "Portal," the innovative puzzle game that rounded out Electronic Arts' "Half-Life 2" omnibus, "The Orange Box."

Best Xbox Live Arcade game: "Catan," Big Huge Games' slick adaptation of the classic board game "Settlers of Catan."

Best TV-based game: "The Simpsons Game."

Best game-based TV: "South Park," for its tributes to "World of Warcraft" and "Guitar Hero."

Best new character: "Eternal Sonata" protagonist Frederic Chopin — yes, the legendary Polish composer.

Best trend: Games go mainstream, thanks largely to Nintendo's Wii and DS. Even your grandma has joined a Wii bowling league.



ABC (US TV-Sender)

------ BEST GAME: BioShock

------ BEST DEAL (Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis): The Orange Box.

------ BEST GAME THAT INVOLVES GETTING OFF THE SOFA: "Rock Band."

------ WORST TREND: The annual holiday video game deluge. Please, video game makers, you're only hurting your most loyal fans here. We spend all year with hardly anything new to play, then October rolls around and it's like an avalanche. Suddenly, we're faced with tough decisions about which of the dozens of good games we can actually afford to buy. Why not release more of these gems in the winter, spring or summer doldrums, when we're really looking for -- and more able to afford -- something new?

------ MOST TIRING CONTROVERSY. "Manhunt 2." OK people, it seems pretty obvious that "Manhunt 2" is not a game for the kiddies. So why all the uproar? Ratings issues aside, if a game that lets you perform execution moves is a turnoff, change the channel. Parents have a tough job keeping content like this away from their children, but it's ultimately part of the responsibility. And this game is no more graphic than any number of R-rated movies I've seen -- except they aren't being altered to appeal to industry ratings groups.

------ BEST (AND WORST) TREND: First person shooters were back in a big way this year. From the sublime ("BioShock") to the visually stunning ("Crysis"), there are more ways to wield weapons in convincing three-dimensional worlds than ever before. That's the good news, particularly for console owners. PC owners, however, are going to need beefy systems costing many thousands of dollars to make these gorgeous games playable.

------ MOST OVERRATED GAME: "Halo 3." Yes, I went there. And I'm not saying "Halo 3" is bad. It's a decent game, with some good fighting and excellent online modes, no doubt. But don't believe Microsoft Corp.'s marketing and PR hype machine. Halo 3 changes nothing about video games. "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare" has a more interesting multiplayer component. And "Halo 3's" single-player story is baffling and leaves this supposedly epic saga feeling somewhat incomplete.

------ BEST IDEA FOR A GAME GONE HORRIBLY WRONG. "Lair." Seriously, this PlayStation 3 game looks so awesome yet plays so horribly, it's like a sick joke from the developers. You're supposed to use the PS3's motion-sensitive controller to pilot your very own fire-breathing, butt-kicking dragon. Unfortunately, moving the controller left to move your dragon left, for example, is fairly impossible. Don't even get me started on 180-degree turns. I'm sure with practice you'll gain some semblance of control, but most people will give up in frustration long before they ever reach that point.

------ MOST FRUSTRATING DELAYS: If I can't get my hands on blockbusters like "Metal Gear Solid IV: Guns of the Patriots," "Spore" or "Grand Theft Auto IV" soon, I think I'm going to lose it. Production delays are common in the games industry, and they're generally a good thing in the long run. The extra time only makes for a better, hopefully bug-free, gaming experience. But we've been hearing about these titles for like, ever, and I'm frankly getting very impatient.

6. "Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3"

Hää? Was soll das für ein Spiel sein, welches vor Call of Duty 4 ist und ich nicht kenne?!

Rollenspiel. Soll super sein.

Yep...Persona 3 ist in den USA erschienen,habs und bin mir recht sicher das es hier nicht erscheint.Um die "Personas" zu rufen müssen sich die Charaktere nen Schuss in die Schläfe jagen...eher Gothic-Style und ein Spin-off der Shin Megami Tensei-Reihe.Rockt,aber nichts für Europa.

Yep...Persona 3 ist in den USA erschienen,habs und bin mir recht sicher das es hier nicht erscheint.

Am 20.12 hat die USK Persona 3 bewertet (ab 12), von daher ist es doch stark anzunehmen, dass es doch den Weg nach Europa findet (Quelle).
