Forums - Microsoft - Where is the GOTY 09 hype train?

Outside of maybe one or two extremist 360 lovers(Starcraft I'm looking at you and the Fable II hype train), I don't think there's a lot of that uber hype train for future GOTYs going on. It seems to be something much more associated with PS3 owners. Notice that there are almost 7-8 real exclusives coming to 360 in the next 2 1/2 months and there isn't a whole lot of forum attention being given. Notice a game that is bound to sell like mad and probably be pretty damn quality(Halo Wars), is basically being quietly waited upon. If it turns out awesome, I guarantee the hype train will settle in, but many people here are in a state of waiting patiently. Star Ocean 4 is getting some ok attention though.

Also there are still too many cards to turn for anyone to know anything from Microsoft at this point. Their entire fall catalogue is just Halo 3 ODST, Alan Wake and Mass Effect 2 right now.

I believe Alan Wake will be GOTY.

Anyway, is Gametrailers down at the moment?

 Don't worry, when it comes closer to release time, I'll be making sure every 360 owner on this board is hyped for SO4. Same goes for Alan Wake and "maybe" Resident Evil 5.



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

Please don't. Pleasant surprises(Braid) are always better than games that don't live up to the hype(Banjo-Kazooie).

Well considering how this topic is in the Microsoft section and is J-man code for "Why aren't you hyping Mass Effect 2?" I would say the chance of it being Zelda is about about zilch or nada, whichever you prefer.
