Oblarg Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/rea...?page=4#5445463 It's really, really close. Don't let Capcom win.

Deraldin Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 I'm amazed it's that close actually. 1854 to 1853 for Capcom as of this post.

Rostere Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Okay. Obsidian MUST win this! "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name. And all of my other names as well!"

Moose Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 I'd vote Capcom if I could be arsed. The Resident Evil series alone justifys this. Voting Obsidian is a bit like giving the Nobel peace prize to a newly elected president. There are none that are right, only strong of opinion. There are none that are wrong, only ignorant of facts

Voting Obsidian is a bit like giving the Nobel peace prize to a newly elected president. I'd say the Resident Evil series is probably the best reason not to vote Capcom. Better reasons to vote Capcom would be Devil May Cry or Street Fighter. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans.

Killian Kalthorne Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Bloody Philistine. Maybe you should have used a towel afterwards. I know. I know. Blood stains are such a bother to get out.

Amentep Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Its interesting that the vote is so close, IMO. Over the years CAPCOM has had a number of popular games and series to its credit: Street Fighter Darkstalkers Power Stone 1942 Viewtiful Joe Resident Evil Devil May Cry Megaman Breath of Fire Final Fight Ghouls n Goblins Bionic Commando Dungeons and Dragons: Tower of Doom/Shadow over Mystara Monster Hunter Omnimusha Dead Rising Lost Planet A testament to either Obsidian's reception amid gamers, or an indication of a diehard following? I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man

Deraldin Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 (edited) Wierd, I can't vote, even logged in. Logged in and can't vote.. hm... Poll seems to be closed now. Capcom won the poll by 47 votes. Still need to see what the final tally is though with the bonus votes and any double votes removed. Edited March 24, 2010 by Deraldin
Calax Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 (edited) Similar thing happened last year with Relic. They were seeded as 8th (I think) and ended up making it to the final four where things tied three times before the guys who made D&D online finally won. They officially didn't make it, even so they would probably have been thwarted because their next opponent was Bethesda, and as Obsidian hasn't had much in the way of games out recently, I'd guess bethsoft would win. Although it's gonna be clash of the titans as Bunjie takes on Blizzard. Edited March 25, 2010 by Calax Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Hurlshort Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 I didn't realize Turbine was such a favorite over there. That's great. Also, DDO is not exactly there strongest property. Asheron's Call was a major player back in the day, and LotR Online is probably their cash cow.
