Assassin's Creed nominated for Visual Effects Society awards
Come February 11 Assassin's Creed could be taking home two Visual Effects Society awards, for 'Outstanding Real Time Visuals in a Video Game' and 'Outstanding Pre-Rendered Visuals in a Video Game', as the visual effects organization hosts its fifth annual awards ceremony at the Kodak Grand Ballroom in Hollywood, CA. A pair of impressive accolades would certainly look good on the retail box, but how can a game with an unconfirmed release date be considered for a real time visuals award next month?We suppose nominating Assassin's Creed for pre-rendered kudos (based on the trailer?) is admissible (as long as the game doesn't win), but don't go heralding Ubisoft's title as a real time effects masterpiece when a playable demo isn't even publicly available. Why not consider Assassin's Creed for a VES award next year; and give credit to current games instead? As it stands, the PlayStation 3 version of Fight Night Round 3 is the only other title nominated in this year's 'Real Time Visuals' category.

Why not give the award to Killzone 2 on PS3? That looks fucking AWESOME!!! Just check out the E3 2005 trailer.

An award for pre-rendered visuals?
An since they're handing out nominations for unreleased games, why not include Crysis in that list?

I believe you are forgetting that there is footage out that has a demo being played through. I believe it was even posted on Kotaku.

Why the PS3 version of Fight Night? The 360 version looks a lot better, and doesn't have cardboard cutout backgrounds. The textures are also more detailed due to more vram in the 360.

As long as they are giving awards to unreleased games, why not give one to Duke Nukem Forever for Sound....
