[Greeniegriz]

Congratulations guys!!

Cheers,

GG

[duomaxwl]

Woohoo!
This has been a great week.

[Dreamcast]

Is that awarded to one game or multiple games?


If game informer only awarded Planetside then is really special.


If game infromer awarded like 10 different games then is kind of special.

[Galcyon]

Congrats to the entire team! You guys deserve it! Can't wait to play!

[Bravix]

As I said in the other thread, this is why I'm subscribed to Gameinformer. They know what's up.

IGN, on the other hand, didn't even include PS2 in their poll >.>

[Synapse]

Earned. Thats all I can say.

[waldizzo]

Nice work! Cannot wait to get into this game.

[kaffis]

I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone.

How the hell does a PC-only, F2P game win Best in Show from the magazine owned by retail chain Game Stop, who barely even carries stock of boxed PC games anymore?

I can only conclude Planetside 2 has done so because it is that undeniably awesome.

[Xyntech]

Yeah, that's kick ass. I'm feeling the momentum finally picking up as E3 rolls on.

[SixShooter]

Well done! Congrats to the dev team:)

[VelRa]

When she held up the award, my heart melted a bit, amidst adrenaline pumping from watching the action.

this just goes to show what us as a community has always thought!
if more people could hear/see about the game, they would fall in love like we did!
I really hope SOE launches some commercials on G4 among other tv stations when we get close to launch

[Xyntech]

Getting some awards will probably provide motivation for SOE to pump a little more money into the marketing as well, so... win.

[blazie]

Glad to see Planetside 2 is getting the recognition it deserves. :D

TV commercials are a waste of advertising money for games. More than half of US households have a DVR and most of the target demographic does, so they zip or zap them or don't watch TV that has commercials or don't watch much TV at all.

thats an oppinion. and a wrong one at that.

all the top games advertise on TV. lets name a few:

WoW
Halo
CoD
BF
Diablo

and that list could be a lot longer but you get the point.

TV advertisements are the only ads I ever see. I ignore ads online (which they have already taken advantage of) and any other form of worthy advertising besides word of mouth, twitter, facebook, ect has been taken care of.

But im sure your right and all these huge gaming companies are advertising on TV for no reason. I mean gamers dont watch G4, do they? hahaha:rofl:

[Xyntech]

A TV spot could especially be good for a F2P game.

Show some awesome footage, then make it clear that they can go to Planetside2.com and Play the Game for Free!

very true xyntech. if you want to reach a massive amount of people tv advertising is your best choice. and when people see that the game is free they are going to go crazy!

[Biohazard]

I think that to celebrate this award, SOE needs to start beta!

[Raymac]

This is a great accomplishment. Huge congratulations to SOE and the PS2 Dev Team.

Guys... They're gonna need a whole lot of servers for this game... Like, a lot more...

Lack of TR trooper on that picture, he is probably off kicking butt. :cool:

[Crovus]

Congratulations SOE and PS2 Dev team.

Quick, somebody tackle Higby! That Vanu is trying to assassinate our glorious leader!! Code blue! Code blue!

If I were the NC, I'd be more concerned about the TR that you can't see.

VS with the distraction assist!

[The Kush]

http://a.yfrog.com/img815/567/inelfm.jpg

I bet Higs was pumped. Well deserved!

[Praetor]

Am genuinely happy for them. Well deserved! :)

[ringring]

Congratulations. I have watched all of the TB feeds and the game looks awesome, I am certain the award is very well deserved.

[cryosin]

Quick, somebody tackle Higby! That Vanu is trying to assassinate our glorious leader!! Code blue! Code blue!

Your post made me check out her glove, which looks amazingly well done.

Grats you guys. I love watching my favorite game destroy the competition.

Yep, he was kicking butt after converting to the NC!

[Nasher]

A AAA, FREE game getting best in show and stomping just about everything else. It's one way to stick it to people like Kottick, who does not understand the meaning of "under $60" or "innovation" :P

[maskedskull]

Awesome news. Congratulations to the team!

[Dreamcast]

You guys do know that Planetside 2 wasn't the only one that won best of show according to Game informer...right?


Gears of War

Seems like they award a lot of games

You show a picture, but fail to show who that wall is for.

[Dreamcast]

Well Gears of War posted that on their Facebook wall.....Unless Gears of War posted Planetside 2 wall then is safe to say Planetside 2 isn't the only winner:D

[Nephilimuk]

Well done PS2 team:love: :groovy::love:

[Bravix]

My guess is that they're done per category. So PS2 won whatever category they placed it in. SimCity apparently received a best in show as well.

"Here at GameInformer, we think everyone should win!" :groovy:

Apparently IGN is still in denial...brutal. This omission is so glaring that I will not be following anything they put out...

[GunslingerX]

Congrats! This is just the beginning... so many more to come after release :)!

LOL the TR gear playing at an NC post. This is the best picture to come from E3.

[Figment]

Congrats!


I bet Higby converted him to the rebel cause! The poor lad didn't stand a chance. :D

[Figment]

Oh btw, IGN nominated PlanetSide 2 for both Best MMO Game, as well as Best PC Game now.

Finally! Boggled my mind that they weren't in for PC game.

Looks like TB was right, there were defectors sabotaging chairs

And has now WON best MMO game, and lost to Watchdogs for best PC game.

[mirwalk]
