Lol, I know they were just demos of their engines. But the whole HLE3 thing is true. I’m being seriously.

Nothing about Medal of Honor made it stand out at all. It’s an online multiplayer shooter, sure, but what qualities made it worthy of nomination? The other games we nominated are doing something new and exciting with multiplayer.

And before that sets off a shitstorm, yes Black Ops II is on there, but we actually saw some really cool new ideas from the multiplayer in that game. Check out our stage demo of the multiplayer if you disagree.

Also neither of those were actual games, much less playable. Our rule is that if a game is not playable, or if we can’t actually use hardware, we won’t nominate it.

Halo 4 should win everything it was nominated for.

Exactly. Everyone keeps posting about games not listed as if their kids didn’t make the football team or something. This isn’t the end of the world… :/

I completely agree with this list… *everyone’s brains explode*

Lawrence is 100% spot on, just because something wasn’t officially nominated doesn’t mean it wasn’t debated.

I, for one, LOVED what we saw of Tomb Raider. See? It’s not like we didn’t like it.

I hope it came across in the first paragraph of this post that these choices were not all unanimous.

Just because a title wasn’t a final nomination doesn’t imply that it wasn’t a consideration…or even fought for.

So even though the category could be “Best Trailer” it has to be playable? The trailer was incredible!

That’s strange as Tomb Raiders been winning lots of awards this year. IGN even gave it Best of E3. Shame it just missed out.

Where is Crysis 3 the game should have made it to the nomination for zhe best shooter.

that makes me sad.

MoH was playable, and looked absolutely incredible. It should have definately been on the list for best multiplayer shooter. Seeing as there was no Black ops 2 multiplayer footage or any sort of multiplayer demo, I think MoH with their multiplayer demo should have replaced BO2.

Any thoughts?

Where’s Agni’s Philosophy from Square Enix?! Or Elemental from Epic?! Those games were the best at the show! Shame on you, Machinima… I really can’t trust your judging opinions anymore…

Also, FYI, Half Life Episode 3 was announced via Morse Code during the MS conference… The tapping of the speakers shoes? I guess you people won’t be nominating that either, huh? Tss… Excuse me. I need to go wash all this ignorance off.

I love how someone RIGHT ABOVE YOU just asked the SAME QUESTION, and Lawrence answered it, yet you didn’t bother reading it. I swear, is there ever going to be a videogame awards article where someone doesn’t post stupid nonsense?

No MoH at all? after reading Lawrence’s comment of “One of our requirements for nomination is that the game be playable at E3. Watch Dogs was not, thus no nomination.” i guess they did not get to play it. Or it was just not in the league of the nominations :(
