Since this has something to do with gaming, I'll leave this thread here.
As for the next thread you unncessarily made in the wrong section, consider it gone.
Also, consider this a warning.
Do NOT put up any more threads like this OTHER than this one, right here.
That is all.
-
you know i've been hearing about this for a while and there STILL no list of games....Tetris anyone ?
-
Good point, rb.
zerolimitstudios, please put up some more information regarding your tournament here, please.
I see no list of games, no admission fee, not even a date or a time for the actual event.
If you want people to take you seriously and come (because I really consider WCG to be nothing more than a joke, to be honest), then BASIC INFORMATION is what we need.
-
The WGC is different from the WCG NEO.
It's been running on Direct TV for some time now. Looks like a pretty good tournament setup they've got actually. League into Tournies.
CounterStrike Source: PC
Dead or Alive 4: Xbox 360
Project Gotham Racing 3: Xbox 360
Fifa 2007: PC
Wow Burning Crusade: PC
The guys who ran WCG down here made quite a mess of things. Let's not judge the WGC guys based on that group's past failings.
Do provide more info J, let us see what you guys have in the works and where we can help.
-
Dead or Alive 4: Xbox 360
/facepalm.
What's next, Smash Bros?
Where the Soul Calibur or Tekken? Or even Virtua Fighter, though I cyah play that.
-
What about COD4 !!!!!!
-
Smash is the biggest "fighting game" entrantwise in the last year or so. At any given time you can get between 64-128 ppl for a small crappy tourney in the US. As much as I dislike the game, fact is fact.
-
These people even know enough about the gaming industry to launch this shit. Or they just like that POS place in up the road that have a casino and a gaming cafe in one and feel it "good"
-
WTMC IS HALO 3...................... you'll go make me go mad yuh know :protest: :protest: :protest:

And games like Big Brain training and Wii Play are at the top of the charts.
What's your point? That Wii Bowling tourneys should be the next big thing?
-
wtmc @ doa4
project gotham racing!!!
AND WOW BURNING CRUSADE?? WDA!!! that is utter hogwash!
-
I think he was more suggesting that we hold some Sims Tournaments, best selling games ever! lol
but let's not get all aggressive in the people thread.
We can host tournaments in whichever games we please without nailing the WGC to the cross on their selection. No one has tied our hands lol. (Save maybe sony's lawyers)
2008 is a new year. Let's see what these guys can deliver!

Hell they could play tetris for all I care, the prize monies for smash are at least 5x the largest known prizes for Soul Calibur, Tekken & VF. You want real fighters go to EVO (smash there and all)or SBO, don't expect to see anything we know and love in a "mainstream" tournament.
-
don't be hating on Tetris!
-
HEY COMMON GUYS PLEASE HOST A COD 4 OR HALO 3 TOURNEY IN TNT...
I wanna play with and angainst some of you guys......Teams of 4 FTW
-
wtf tekken iz mandatory bitchez :protest:
-
Kull, what you know about Tekken??
-
a whole lot from the look of his vids
-
lol, great, any man who has anything good to say about tekken is a friend of mine.
well met Kull. You new to the scene? Not familiar with the name.
-
.....hmm!!!! men gettin sizeup already yes.
-
All right....I'm just going to cut to the chase here.
J, you have exactly one week to give us some information about your championships here.
If you do not, I will assume that this was a cheap 'hit-and-run' topic, and delete it.

:ph34r:
Ok guys... we've read all your comments about the upcoming gamefest in trinidad... so here's the 411
1. The gamefest is still on and all the good rumours you heard are true.
2. Yes people, it is $25,000 dollars to the winning team! (Its not a prank!)
3. The competition is based on a number of well known games which most of y'all play.
4. The date was originally January 27th but got pushed back to Easter Sunday and Monday
5. Yes we will be sending the winning team to DirectTV's World Gaming Championships courtesy of Zerolimit Studios (check the net man!)
6. Tickets are $80 was originally $120 but thanks to our sponsors, we dropped the price
7. Come as your favourite game character and win your favourite consoles with your favourite games
8. Cinematics on the newest games out and movies
9. Hoping to get some sony reps down here and activision reps
10. This fest will take place every year and every year we intend to raise the prize even higher!

3. Smash Brothers
4. Tekken 5
5. Neep for Speed Pro Street
6. WOW Hero vs. Hero

-
:ph34r:
Almost forgot one more thing:
the venue is still being decided it was originally Centre of Excellence. but due to the already scheduled
number of players we might be looking for a larger (yes folks, I said larger) venue.
Will keep you guys posted. J
(oh and its need for speed pro street... not neep)
-
How much people u need to make a team to get in?.
Guys lets make a team to play cod 4.
zerolimitstudios are u guys going to put in battleflied 2 i think some guys here play bf2.
-
outside of virtua fighter 5 the selection of games is pretty solid.
-
Ahhhh would have loved to be there for a lil smash.
-
good selection.
Zerolimit, you've got a website or something? Where and how is the voting being done for those tournament games?
some obvious questions....
Which Street Fighter?
Is it Tekken 5 DR on PS3? or regular Tekken 5 on PS2?
Need those details so we can start training accordingly.
What are the prizes for each game? 1st $5000.00, 2nd $3000.00, etc..???
Strange not seeing some flavour of Fifa there. It has been one of the more successful tournament games in Trinidad gaming history.
A sony rep for a caribbean tournament would be a definite first! They've scoffed at us in the past.
Glad to hear this is coming off the ground, it sounds like a grand affair. Just what the gaming doctor ordered.
lol @ bigger venue than centre of excellence.
That place is HUGE. I don't think there is a bigger venue on the island for a tournament. Unless you wanna go in the middle of the queens park savannah.
Where else is up for consideration?
Also, if the game selection does not match that of the WGC, how is a team going to be sent?
Noticeably absent is Fifa, DOA and Counterstrike from the suggested line up, all staples of the WGC.
-
wooo calibur cod4 and tekken
wewt good calls
-
:ph34r:
All right heres how the team setup works...
1. Your team players will train in the games we list for the tournament. We're looking for the best guys & girls, cause you'll be going up against the best in the world at the World Gaming Championships.
2. For multiplayer games eg COD4, the whole team will square off against the opposing team, in this competition, the overall points at the end counts (HOW MANY KILLS YOU MAKE.)
3. Its $25,000 to the winning Team guys... (like in the newspaper ad posted in the Sunday Express 1 week or two ago and yes, we'll be advertising this competition like crazy leading up to the big day.
4. I just got a shout out by head tournament director at Trinigamers, Riyadh Bakshi (looks like it just got bigger)
who knows... depending on how many people sign up, we may raise the stakes even higher.
5. For one-on-one fighting games... you must choose your best player to represent the team... It will be the best out of five rounds. (Just like the world gaming championships)
6. Full info and details on the consoles and games will be posted here and on our website from 10 pm today
(for the sake of our site administrator, please open a new page for this link so you are never away from this
site... PLEEEEASE!)

:ph34r:
Rules to the Gamefest and the official games played as can be found here: www.zerolimitonline.com
And yes rb, we do have Animation and Video Game Design classes... but you'll have to call the office for that info.

lawll you think you can take a 360 controller and beat pc men in cod4 on pc???
hahaah thanks for confirming that your a complete lunatic
and yes kimi
iam an avid calibur fan
been a fan since arcade days of soul edge 1 and version 1.1
iam pretty good too ^_^
-
guys lets make a team.The only game i played out of th list is cod4 and cs looks easy to play.
-
They should have COD4 for xbox 360 and PC. It would be a shame if they didn't have both.
I'm still unsure about the team thing. It seems like your team has to consist of people playing all the games to win the grand prize which is silly.
If you have a team for cod 4 and you win you should be sent to the Direct tv to represent.
-
:ph34r:
Its a Gamefest... Not call of duty fest and we're playing by their rules people. Besides that, the winning team
gets sponsored air fare and spending money by our Animation Studio. Its not a small Gamefest like all the others
you've heard about... But this Gamefest is only one of many! Provided that our partner sponsors are pleased with
this year's turn out. it could take place twice a year... maybe more!
Oh and for the ones who thought this was some bogus fest like the casino that I quickly proved wrong, next year,
the prize money will double!!! :happy0203:

i agree with chinara to an extent but with a different reasoning. Please understand I'm not trying to undermine your event as I've always wanted something big to happen on the local gaming scene and its something I've spent alot of time trying to do over the last few years.
Our local scene is severly under-developed to the point where everyone seems to play games that are either outdated or very popular but not included in other major tournaments. There have been efforts to change this before with little success thus far, it's something all the major orgs in tnt are working on (or so i'd hope i know TG is working with iStand on some things along these lines). We can't possibly hope to be anything more than a joke if we don't develop the LOCAL scene first before trying to penetrate the international scene.
As I said before the lineup of games is solid and the wanting to run an ironman styled event is admirable, but just won't work in Trinidad.
- No one plays DOA4 seriously, yes its in wcg but the fact remains that it sucks ass and no one cares about it outside of perfect legend lol
- Counter Strike Source tournaments have been done quite a few times locally so thats cool.
- Fifa 07....but theres Fifa 08
- COD4 great game but there will be a division between console and pc players
- WOW - well it is digital crack
It's great that you're trying to promote diversity and I for one can appreciate it (lord i fed up hear DOTA but that is the biggest game locally), but to be quite honest I don't think that there's a 5 man team locally that can play each of the games lined up competantly enough to be taken seriously abroad. In the end I honestly feel that there will be a set of 5 man teams that can play 1 or 2 games well, but will not be able to do anything serious in the rest of games, but will just be there for the large prizes (nothing wrong with that, happens everywhere, but it does little to help the hole that the local scene seems to be in)
This brings back memories of Name of the Game Expo in 2002, the main games were Virtua Fighter 4 and DOA3. No one played either of those games and boy did it show. The only reason anyone even showed up to play those is because in the back of their minds they all thought the same thing
"hey if I can win I could win a PS2 or a xbox, I go take a chance yes" What resulted was everyone mashing buttons with no idea of what was happening just to win a PS2 or xbox.
Something similar happened with the World Cyber Games qualifying last year, it wasn't so much the game selection but rather mismanagement and promotion. They had games that are still very popular locally, but the attendance was lacklustre. In the end I don't know who won, hell I don't know if there were proper qualifiers for games other than Starcraft and Warcraft, and if there was I'm sure the best possible teams and reps were not selected.
As for the rest of games, that has me confused if there are 5 main games then why are there 5 more non-related titles, and what happens to the people that want to play the non official games only (SF3, Tekken 5, NFS). If these were standalone events that anyone could enter I could understand, like I said I'm confused, please clear this up because right now the only games I'd like to enter is Street Fighter 3 and Smash Bros Brawl.
Gosh I feel like this overly fragmented, I real tired.
If any team looking for a Street Fighter 3 player I'll be glad to jump on, can't really play anything else on the game list though.
EDIT -
PS I know how it is to have to answer to sponsors, so doh worry if this sounds harsh, is all love :)
-
there are teams internationally that play randomly thrown together un related games competently?
really??? how is that possible???
that way of handling the event makes NO SENSE!!!
-
its not that really, it is possible as other countries have better developed competitive scenes and then there's xbox live and other online gaming options that we simply just don't have down here.
-
xbl competitions aside
iam saying how can u randomly throw together a bunch of unrelated games
and have a stipulation on your tournament, that for your team to advance they must win in all game categories
and then be expected to compete competently in every single category??
so if they threw barbie play house fun time in the mix
are teams expected to be expert cod4,doa,nfs,cs,soul calibur AND barbie play house fun time players?
-
I guess thats where the clans come into play, and I'm sure they DO (do not doh) reveal their lineups well ahead of time so teams have time to learn games. Speaking of which I just saw tougeki's super battle opera lineup..wow seems really solid
SSF2T, KOF98, SF3 3S, Arcana Heart, GGXXAC, Melty Blood Act Cadenza vB2, Tekken 6, VF5 vC and *gasp* Hokuto No Ken.
I have most of last years DVDs, it was pretty damn good. I should pass the Soul Calibur 3 one your way :P
-
Sneaky Sneaky man. Must l33ch vids. You've been holding out for long enough man. Share the wealth.
I agree with Crixx and RB on this one. Obviously, you can't expect people to only NOW see a game roster to pick up a game or games and expect them to excel at them. What's worse, is if said newbies win and are sponsored the trip to Disneyland or wherever, they would do shame coming up against people who have been playing those same games for years or at least considerably longer.
I'd like to take this time to join RB in saying that I will be a gun for hire should anyone require a 3s player. Will practice only if you pay me.
-
Its confufuling me :crybaby2:
-
On the site one of the rules is "Consoles can be used on pc-based games" WHAT THE HEL DOES THAT MEAN?? *eyes lights up @ CoD4*
-
It might mean the teams may have the choice if they wanna play on pc or 360 or probably use controllers
-
I JUST WANNA PLAY TEKKEN 5 :protest:
-
:ph34r:
It means if you have your own game controller you can walk with it to play.
Any how after hearing your suggestions (and really crazy complaints) :angry: since this years gamefest is all about the players, we're once again giving you the choice. :happy0203:
You got 2: You can
a. We have the competitions based on one game each: But, if we do that the prize will only be 10,000, it will be based on the best 3 - One Sports - One Fighting - One First Person Shooter: e.g: COD4 and it will be two festivals where you can win 10,000 for each in your respective catagory and raise the stakes every year.
b. We keep it as is
And as for the Games: The ones with only descriptions are the ones they want us to use for competing at the Gamefest. The other games are the ones we're adding to the the list of games at the gamefest as we go along (List for New Games Coming this Wednesday) But after voicing some of your complaints to the board, they seem to be very understanding... so once again people,
please vote wisely... times running out. You got two days before we bring it back to the Board. (Of course the rules
will change after the votes are in)
As usual suggestions are always welcome, we want to make this fest the largest ever and have it every year.

errr....
Is there a date set for this event yet?
Need to know if it going to conflict with my exams and all..
-
I Don't mind the 10Grand per game thing....sounds nice :awesome:
-
The ten grand plan sounds great because honestly TnT dont have a huge contingent that have enough time to play so many games.Three games sounds sufficient because alot of trinbagonians indulge in things other than games (Gamers with lives hmmm do i smell a clan being born AHEM)
-
*Sticks head out of hole*
"Clan??" :awesome:
-
well heres an alternate suggestion
Have the main games (whatever 3 are decided) and do the rest of games on a side tournament scene on the side for small money (couple hundred for each winner). I've done this before to attract more people to events, it works out nicely.
-
I like how you think....nice idea.
-
y thank you :)
i've been doing this actively for a little over 3 years, so i got a vague idea of what i'm talking about :)
-
:ph34r:
Glad to here that, we don't mind the extra help.
Give us a call 625-0903
We need to make sure this fest gets off on the right foot.
-
lol @ rb with 3 years. Get your facts correct. We've been doing this for well over a decade. We'll do more than call, will pay you guys a visit.
-
lol @ you, better get yours correct.
you've been doing it for a decade yes , but you have been rather dormant for the last few years haven't you. But anyways enough small talk.
-
How are my facts not correct?
don't contradict yourself rb.
"We've" been doing this for well over a decade. Come on. Try to be less of an "I" man.....there is no "I" in TEAM.
-
:ph34r:
Hey save the battle for the Gamefest!
Look, you both have experience in this, right? So how about this...
You both give us a call like I said; We could use the extra help...
The more corporations involved, the bigger the Gamefest and the higher the Prize.
Also we're looking for those who can sell Game Tickets as we'll be distributing tickets to various
Gaming facilities soon also releasing the decided date on the Gamefest 2008.
And it won't be messin' with anyone's exams or study time, that I can assure you.
Here's the number again: 625-0903

-
lol, don't worry zero.
We'll sort it out in person this week. As was said, expect a visit from us.
A lot of questions burning to be answered.
