I think the title should be "Featured Game" of the Month.
Game of the Month kasi is most of the time associated with a game that is recently released. dahil dito, nagkaconfusion kung bakit uncharted bigla ang GOTM.

I think you will find an extensive list of great games here.SirZap wrote:ok given that criteria... what would be your list of GotM for the next 12 months both for new and classic games :evilsmile:
so that would be 24 games *I'm all ears*
also, LBP was released october last year, that time we have no GotM, again that was because we started only last March this year.
And let's not forget the abundance of PSN titles and excellent multiplatform games like Call of Duty 4 and GTA IV. I'm sure these games have a strong presence in PPS.
And the GOTMs for this year can be the classics of next year.

I don't really know if there is a time element when saying plainly "Game of the Month"... I mean being a "Member of the Month" does not always mean you're a newly registered member. and also, "Game of the Month" simply means "Featured Game of the Month", so basically they are the same.T'wolf wrote:I think the title should be "Featured Game" of the Month.

eheh. obviously, that doesn't apply to PPS members. pero look at gaming publications and websites, ganyan ang norm.SirZap wrote:I don't really know if there is a time element when saying plainly "Game of the Month"...

It was just a suggestion to avoid confusion, kasi in this case, it did cause confusion.
OT: parang hindi ata tayo nagvote for 2008 GOTY. is it because obvious naman na MGS4 would have been the clear cut winner?

pwede sigurong i-classify na "classic" yung game kung released ito 2 years before the current year. So lahat ng games released ng 2007 ay considered for gotm "classic" tapos next year games released in 2008 naman yung icoconsider for gotm "classic".

I was expecting that answer. I'm just looking kung anong basis mo bakit mo na-suggest syaT'wolf wrote:eheh. obviously, that doesn't apply to PPS members. pero look at gaming publications and websites, ganyan ang norm.

but if there were 2 or more worthy to be featured which then should be "featured" then. what if there were 13 or more worthy games that was released in the last 6 months? so that would leave 1 or more games to catch-up :evilsmile:
if 2 years is 24 months hindi pa classic ang Uncharted: Drake's Fortune kasi Nov. 2007 sya released. but following your suggestion classic na syarohz wrote:pwede sigurong i-classify na "classic" yung game kung released ito 2 years before the current year. So lahat ng games released ng 2007 ay considered for gotm "classic" tapos next year games released in 2008 naman yung icoconsider for gotm "classic".
but then looking up to my example to T'wolf about having 2 or more worthy releases each month, some of the games would be featured as a classic by then
I know that you would say thatBadGuy001 wrote:That's entirely up to you and the others to decide.
if we would follow the suggested basis by rohz then we can afford until december next year for KZ2 as not yet a classic :evilsmile:
I'm asking you simply because you suggested the "classic" and the "current" but that would be an addtional "thinking" on our part and yet you don't want to "think" :evilsmile: but that's fine with me kasi I'm open to explore other ways to create a "buzz" on the forums. thanks sa suggestion

Well, I already have an idea in mind, but I thought that I would just leave it up to you to come up with your own criteria for a classic game. I mean, you might as well go all the way with this whole GOTM thing and not go half-ass on it right?I know that you would say that

Regarding what I think about what should be considered a classic -- a classic doesn't have to be bound by time frame, popularity and scores, it could be anything exceptional or critically panned. Go wild with what you think a classic should be.
It doesn't always have to be a high scoring game, it could be something like Ironman. Check out the Ironman thread, the game is so bad everyone is posting hilarious remarks. You could call the game "classically awful."A classic could also be your personal favorite game that no one has ever played. You can mention why it's such an awesome game and why it deserves to be recognized.

"my example" po... meaning I gave an example as a reply to you... I never said that you said itT'wolf wrote:hah? I never said that...but then looking up to my example to T'wolf about having 2 or more worthy releases each month, some of the games would be featured as a classic by then

half-ass? I'm not going half-ass about it... the reason why I'm asking questions from you so that I would get your whole idea to make it better... but it was not rushed. its just that we have decided to minimize what we feature first and add more along the way. as you said this is "This is PinoyPS, not Neogaf or Gamefaqs" we can do it our own way. but since you want something else why not listen to you. I was taking notes on your suggestions and criteria so we can suit it to you. our "features" is in line with the revival of http://www.pinoypsx.com (http://www.pinoyps.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=8908)as a blog or even a e-magazine. we're just taking baby steps and hopefully making it full-blown. I have to admit we lack a review "post" for the games chosen, making it look half-ass or half-baked, but then why not use the existing thread itself after all this is a forum.BadGuy001 wrote: Well, I already have an idea in mind, but I thought that I would just leave it up to you to come up with your own criteria for a classic game.

about being a "classic", that's great way of classifying a game which goes beyond timeframe. but i just noticed that the same criterion you said is already applied with GotM. I am considering the ideas being raised, like having a classic and currently hot featured games so we can show more games and not sideline those also "worthy" due to 12-games-a-year restriction.
so just keep the ball rolling *ala-katamari*
me too i'm glad we're focusing on more PS3 gamesT'wolf wrote:OT: What comes into my mind when I hear the words classic games are Atari / NES games, actually

Hehe, I didn'tmean to sound like an ass. It's hard to replicate my happy and giddy attitude through words. I may seem cynical but I'm actually smiling and happily humming to the tune of the latest Justin Timberlake song every time I post something.
Anyway, I'm not asking that you set-up a complex system of sorts. The current one is fine, it just needs a clear-cut foundation.
Anyway, I should stop butting in. I'm glad that I was helpful though <3

How about having a poll? You can throw some games into the spotlight and let the members decide which of these games should be the hot item or maybe even GOTM. But those who voted are required to explain why they voted for their chosen game. This can be like a semi-review thread in a way.about being a "classic", that's great way of classifying a game which goes beyond timeframe. but i just noticed that the same criterion you said is already applied with GotM.

no problem, i'm taken to mean half-ass as half-baked as in my ideas as not been thoroughly planned. I could have warned you if you're an ass after all i'm a moderator. about the criteria, i was not able to give it a structured enumeration because I want it to be flexible.BadGuy001 wrote:Hehe, I didn'tmean to sound like an ass.

having a poll for members to decide for GotM would add another layer of approval. I think posting in this thread is enough. they could simply explain their case in this thread.
so all-in-all I'm near final decision to make another featured game as "Hot Game", not necessarily as within a month but as long as the the game is still "hot", but we can un-make it after a month if we decided to - as avoid cluttering the global threads. if ever there is another "Hot Game" concurrent with the existing one then we can give it a feature status, so there would be no restrictions. the "review" could be linked to the "official blog/portal" of the site, if ever we can produce them in the near future; so as of the moment just go to the game review forums. GotM would be the classic status. with that being said you can expect KZ2 going globally anytime soon
