There are some really good categories and it seems like there was some actual thought behind most of the nominees unlike the Spike VGA carwreck. You can debate the crapiness of the G4TechTV network itself but this seems to be something worth looking forward to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anya 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2004 Last years sucked, so I imagine this will too. The catagories are lame. Best voice acting? That's weak. How many games have good voice acting? There's no need for both male and female either. Hottest character? Not only is that dumb, it's all girls. No fighting game, and other genres, but they of course have sports and "xtreme" sports. What I'd vote for... Best Adaptation - KOTOR Best character - HK-47 Best cinematic - MGS Twin Snakes EB Choice Award - KOTOR Graphics - Silent Hill 3 Best Handheld: Castlevania Aria of Sorrow Best new franchise: Beyond Good & Evil Best RPG: Final Fantasy X-2 GOTY: KOTOR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MikeSC Report post Posted June 23, 2004 Actually, I'm all for voice acting awards. There is so little good out there is deserves recognition. And no matter who dumb this may be --- it can't be worse than Spike's VGA show. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2004 I didn't get G4 last year so I hadn't seen the first show. I would have dumped Mobile Phone game (OMG NGage might win an award..) for Best Fighting Game and Hottest Character for Best Strategy/Simulation Game.

Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted June 23, 2004 My picks-> Best Adaptation - Star Wars: KOTOR Alt Sports Award Powered by Mountain Dew - NBA Street Vol. 2 Favorite Character - Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic - HK-47 (Exclamation: I am most eager to participate in unadulterated violence, master!) Hottest Character - Final Fantasy X-2 - Rikku (Competition in this field was weak, yo. Ivy wasn't even the hottest SCII character) Best Cinematic - Ninja Gaiden (I'm sure Final Fantasy has the win here as it traditionally has the best-looking FMVs, but I don't have a PS2 and haven't seen it or the other ones, and Ninja has simply amazing graphics and sound, so it's a viable choice) Best Easter Egg - True Crime: Streets of L.A. - Snoop Dogg Cheat (special missions) fo sheez neez EB Gamers Choice Award Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Best Graphics - Ninja Gaiden Best Handheld Game - Didn't vote here since I don't have one Best Innovation -Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow (Multi-player mode) It's about damn time. Best Mobile Phone Game - Not a big fan of these, nope.. Best Multiplayer Game - Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge and I probably only vote that because I haven't played Splinter Cell in multiplayer, only seen it being played elsewhere but still this is shitloads of fun. Best New Franchise - Viewtiful Joe Best Racing Game - Need for Speed Underground. Best RPG - Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic..this game had me hooked for the past 2 weeks..any available time went directly to it. I couldn't stop playing it. So goddamn addictive. Best Sound Design - Manhunt (the only good thing about this game) Best Soundtrack - No vote, all those choices absolutely suck Best Traditional Sports Game - Madden NFL 2004, it just might be their last year at the top Best Voice Performance - Female - Bah fuck this category. Jennifer Hale as Bastila Shan gets my actual vote. Best Voice Performance - Male - Fuck this one too Game Of The Year - Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.

Guest CronoT Report post Posted June 23, 2004 I had digital cable last year, which included G4. That awards show was a piece of crap. Also, as for voice acting, I'm pretty sure most people don't realize that a famous Hollywood veteran did voice acting for KOTOR. Ed Asner was the voice of Master Vandar.

Nevermortal 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2004 G4's shows are so fucking horrible. The only good things out of their merge are still the Tech TV shows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2004 These G4 guys are morons. Check out the game review show...the one that isn't X-Play. These guys make the Burly Bear show look fantastic. Instead of bringing up a valid point about Ratchet and Clank 2--the one weakness I feel it has is length...they're babbling about "would you buy merchandise with these guys" and they're somewhat annoyed by the bolts coming out of things. Oh, and it's apparently "repetitive." *snort* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Bannable Offense Report post Posted June 24, 2004 G4's shows are so fucking horrible. The only good things out of their merge are still the Tech TV shows. Filter's pretty bomb. OK, I say that only because of Diane Mizota... I feel the same about G-Phoria as I do about every other awards show: utter crap that's not worthy of the TV time given to it. But then again, it's not like G4's got anything better to show. except maybe Icons...and Diane Mizota. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
