GDC and AIAS award noms

[Perversion]

AIAS
GDC

No surprise, Uncharted 2 has more noms than any other game for both awards. For the GDC, Demon's Souls only has 2 noms, while Flower has 5 (one more than Ass Creed II)...I feel vindicated.

For the AIAS, Uncharted 2 leads with 15 noms, Demon's Souls again has 2, and Flower again has five.

Here's what makes absolutely no sense...both gave Demon's Souls an "innovation" nom, but neither gave it a nom for game design....what???? And the AIAS has a category for "Outstanding Achievement in Online Gameplay," and Demon's Souls was not nominated there, either.

And finally, for the AIAS, there is a category for "Outstanding Achievement in Art Direction," and Flower was not nominated in that category. Again...what???? This category would seem like a no-brainer for Flower.


Obviously, there are a lot of other games nominated for both, but I really only decided to comment here on the two near and dear to my heart.

Uncharted 2 won 10 awards...this link is worth reading just for the transcription of Jay Mohr's comedy bits.

Oh, and Flower only won one category...casual game of the year.

Re: GDC and AIAS award noms

So we all care about the Academy Awards, but a hobby that most of us are posting at this site because of, we don't care about its equivalent awards. Hmm.


They've been doing these awards for 13 years; it's not like something that just sprouted up yesterday.

Re: GDC and AIAS award noms

these are not really equivalent to the oscars.

Re: GDC and AIAS award noms

and either way who cares if an award show doesn't agree with your personal preferences?

Re: GDC and AIAS award noms

Oh, I only mentioned my preferences because I thought both of those games were deserving of some award recognition, as both do things that in some small or large way that has never been done before. You know, something like moving the industry forward instead of having it sit in a stagnant cesspool.


And whether or not you agree with my opinions (I made the topic, so I posted my own feelings on it), this IS the video game forum, and this IS a topic about videogames, so I thought it might be of interest to more than one person here. Apparently, I was mistaken.

****. I'm glad somebody else here noticed.

Re: GDC and AIAS award noms

I've always been this way.

Also, Toaster is just upset I don't wanna work the pavilion game anymore, because otherwise he's always like "never change caciss lol"

Re: GDC and AIAS award noms

Re: GDC and AIAS award noms

okay, atleast i'm not the only person that has noticed that Caciss has turned into a freaking dip****.

Re: GDC and AIAS award noms

Before Caciss goes on another flame-fest, just asking to be banned again, I'ma lock this.

Also, to prevent Caciss from getting flamed any further by the likes of Jeroak.

Granted, it'll probably find its way into another thread...

Shame, too, as I was hoping some relevant discussion might ensue about video game industry awards, their relevance (well, guess we found that out a few posts ago), etc.
