pfff, we all know when the next GM AIM message arrives, michael cole will read the bracket out loud.

To massive heat when we find out he's setup a GTA/Wow/Halo/CoD fourpack.

Even if Bacon were to reveal the bracket in 52 minutes, stats can probably figure out every single game beforehand.

"Does that mean the bracket is now finished?"

Yes, and has been for a while. That doesn't mean the contest is ready to roll though.

"FFX needs a rivalry counterpart too."

It has one.

"2000 might have Deus Ex or The Sims."

Or both.

That new PS2 Dragon Quest came out in 2006, but I flat out REFUSE to believe Sir Chris forgot that, so I'm guessing it didn't make it in.

Okay, I'm confirming that Conker's Bad Fur Day is in the contest. Let the analysis begin.

Wonder if CBFD had the Live and Reloaded noms added to it's total. Other than that, I've got nothing for analysis... except...

No Mercy > CBFD.

Dead Space is the only one of those three I'm really surprised to see. I figured Shenmue would have enough to make it, and once I didn't see Psychonauts in the vote-ins at all I thought it was coinflip as to in or snubbed.

I don't think Allen has ever given anywhere this much info pre bracket, has he? He seems quite excited for this one.

I hope by rivalries he means stuff like Brawl Vs. Melee and not FFX Vs. FFIX (Who wants to see that?!) .

LeonhartFour | Posted 10/4/2010 5:16:00 PM | message detail
Bacon mentioned something about rivals in each division to spice things up.

We already know FFX, SSBM, RE4, and Galaxy were the most nominated games. What would their "rivals" be?

FFX - FFIX or FFXII (maybe X-2?!)
SSBM - Already confirmed to be Brawl
RE4 - What other RE games would be in the bracket?
Galaxy - Sunshine or NSMB

And we kinda assumed Brawl would have a 1 seed, so that mixes things up a bit.
