Portal 2 is GOTY material, and i predict that it will surely win. The only other game i can think off that comes close to Portal 2 would be Mass Effect 3 this year, and thats got allot to live up to thus far!
Nice read, funny idea about GLaDOS being responsible for L4D :v:

Actually, it was just this one guy over here on the right, if you want to get technical.

When you're in the test chamber, he spots an anomaly in the readings but decides to mention it and then ignore it, instead pushing the Anti-Mass Spectrometer up to 105%, which is a stupid idea in the first place.
These guys are even having fun while doing an interview. Shows how great people at Valve are.

I disagree, I think the only two games that have a chance against it are Battlefield 3 and Skyrim.
Will TESV:Skyrim be able to beat Portal 2?
I like how they completely ignored the Episode 3 mention. I give them one year to announce something related to Episode 3, or well... I'll.. I'll do absolutely nothing! Ha! .. :saddowns:

Not sure if serious
I'm pretty sure Skyrim will beat Portal 2, I'm unsure if Skyrim will beat Battlefield 3 or Mass Effect 3 though.
IMO BF3 will be THE game this year.
With Portal 2 and Skyrim claiming podium positions.

And MW3 will be GOTY
2011 will be a stellar year for games.
Aperture reminds me of Valve in many aspects.
[quote]Jay: I think it’s more fun to see the creativity of the fanbase. If you go onto deviantART or something like that, the character that they’ve turned Chell into… As we said earlier, Chell is an avatar, but what they’ve turned her into and reflected onto her – that’s one of the most heartwarming things to see?
Chet: It’s heartwarming?
Jay: Well, not heartwarming. What’s the word that’s less silly?
Chet: But, “heartwarming”?
Jay: Encouraging? Inspiring?[/quote]

What about Battlefield 3? :colbert:

Portal 2 should win GOTY because there's really nothing else like it. I don't think ME3, Skyrim or BF3 are unique enough.
I doubt Portal 2 will get GOTY, but it'll definitely be nominated.

How are people able to make claims like this when none of those games are even out yet? I have so many friends telling me that Mass Effect 3 will be game of the year, but...we barely even have gameplay footage of it yet. How does anyone know it'll be the best game that gets released all year when we know next to nothing about it other than the title? Just because something has a familiar title doesn't necessarily mean it'll be good. I had high expectations for Portal 2 based on the series it was coming from, but I was still skeptical about its actual quality all the way up until I got to actually play it.
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Elder Scrolls, Battlefield, or Mass Effect and I'm not trying to defend Portal 2 here; I just think it's a little foolish to claim anything as 'game of the year' when none of these mentioned games are even out yet and the year itself isn't even half over.
...Besides, everyone knows that Modern Warfare 3 will win anyway, no matter how bad it is. :v:

I'm curious as to what would happen if Erik were there. It might divert into some tangent about how people keep stealing his butter.

Wait so sequels to games aren't as unique as a sequel to a game?!?
Portal 2 wont get GOTY.
Modern Warfare 3 will get it because the general games media are bribed 90% of the time.

Oh you!
[quote]Jay: And there’s never a, “Hey, you go do that so this crashes into that.” It’s just someone’s like, “Oh, Wheatley’s taking over now? Oh, I’m going to go try this!” And there’s that ethos at Valve where the passion goes through. If someone wants to contribute in that way, they will happily work on it for hours and hours, because they’re like, “This will be so cool when it’s in the game.”
Chet: It doesn’t take as long as you’d think. It would take a lot longer if somebody mapped it out, handed it to an animator, and said “Animate this.” But instead when you’ve got the animator say, “Oh, I’ve got this cool idea. I want to do this thing,” they tend to work a lot faster because it’s something they want to do. That makes a big difference.[/quote]
fascinating
I wish they commented on the Borealis dry dock Easter egg.
The only humane nominations for GOTY (yet prematurely based on what we've seen so far) are: Portal 2, L.A Noire, Skyrim, Battlefield 3, and Mass Effect 3.
I feel that this is the game that will prove whether the Baftas are a joke or not. If Portal 2 doesn't win a pile of awards and Blops wins any...

I'd say Brink could be nominated as well.
Obviously I can't really judge Modern Warfare 3 yet since it isn't actually out, if it turns out to be yet another COD formula (which come on, it's fucking likely) and wins GOTY then I'll lose all hope in the world. Portal 2 is a refreshing and pretty damn unique concept and I loved every second of it. Another COD game doesn't deserve it unless it truly excels.
