Hopefully Insomniac delivers a masterpiece. I'm starving for this game since the reveal.
Previews are promising.

It's only the start for this game. Insomniac is finally getting the recognition they so much deserve, by the end of 2018 it will be even louder.

That is insane! Hell yeah, Spidey! Well deserved from everything I've seen and read about of the game. September needs to get here quick!

What the fuck is happening in this thread. Jesus

Don't know if I am more hyped for Spider-Man or Red Dead. That's a big accomplishment, nothing should be drawing me away from Red Dead.
That's a good thing man. Many good games coming so you are spoilt for choice.
2 great open world games. Not sure where m going to find the time to play them lol.

Both Spider-Man and Evolve got nominations, awards, were announced for PS4, feature 3D spaces and are made by professional game developers.

It's obvious that it's the same thing. Wake up, sheeple! These companies are just trying to make you buy their products!
Insomniac has a solid track record, there are faults, but the majority is positive. Evolve came from a newish studio with some experienced developers, but Turtle Rock was by no means an Insomniac in terms of infrastructure or resources. Spider-Man is coming out in 2 months, it is probably close to its final form.

It is apples and oranges between the two. Also, the 4v1 was an innovation in game design, Spider-Man is very well established and more about getting it right than figuring out something new.

This may be a marketing ploy, but everyone that plays it thinks its great.

They mean a good amount to the Developers of the games, I mean their game is getting recognized for doing good things, by critics, they mean something.
Sure. I'm sure the devs appreciate the acknowledgement of their hard work.

But as a consumer. E3 awards don't me poop to me. E3 is a pageant show. Not a place for in-depth looks.

Most journos and many gamers had like 30-45mins with the game, some even longer. Several actually played it multiple times too. I'd say that is pretty in-depth as far as initial gameplay experiences go.

20-45 minutes is not in-depth at all lol. A lot of games don't start showing flaws until hours in.

Whilst true, it's still enough time to get a feel for the core mechanics, controls, swinging, combat, traversal and so on. Eg the basic fundamentals. Hell they essentially let people do whatever they wanted during the demo, so those who played it multiple times got to experience a bit of everything, from general exploration, missions, side quests, a boss fight and so on.

Man, looks like the hype-train is full steam ahead on this one. I hope it lives up to the hype!

Off topic a bit, but I would just love to see a real powerhouse studio make a AAA Doctor Strange game. It's a pipe dream, I know, but I still want it. :)

Sure. I agree you can get the fundamentals of a game from a half hour to an hour long demo. I'm also not saying the game doesn't look like its gunna be good.
I'm just saying I don't know why were hyping e3 awards.

Have you looked at the list of past award winners posted above? They're pretty consistently some of the best games ever made. Bodes pretty well for Spider-Man.

I can't tell if this thread's progression is supposed to be a parody of the average ERA discussion or this concern trolling is actually legit

While I do think Spider-Man will end up a good game because of the team behind it, E3 awards aren't really indicative of anything other than the ability to put on a tightly controlled presentation of an unfinished project. Spider-Man will end up pretty damn good though. Insomniac has been great for a long time.

Debtable. A lot of those games, especially the ones in the Act/Adv category are pretty average AAA games in my eyes.

The best console game list is a little better but even those have enough duds (to my tastes) to not exactly start expecting GOTY
