2012 Game Developers Choice Awards Winners
Here are the winners of last night’s Game Developers Choice Awards. It’s no surprise that Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim won game of the year as many continued to play it well into 2012. The full list of award winners is after the jump.
Could The “Steam Box” Be The PS3/PS4?
There’s been rumors as of late about a possible Steam-powered console. While this is certainly plausible, it makes one wonder whether or not there’s room in the console market for yet another console.
Developers, Stop Playing it Safe With Franchises & Use The “3 Game Rule”
Many gamers hate it, the milking of a gaming franchise, especially if it’s their favorite franchises. Many developers, especially this generation are making sequel after sequel now, usually without any noticeable innovation, or just too many games year after year. Notice that many games are hitting title number 2 or title number 3 now, and as we’ve seen from many games (Grand Theft Auto, Final Fantasy), sequels aren’t bad under certain instances, but some developers just have to know when to call it quits. It’s simple, make three games in a franchise, then stop all development of that entire franchise, sounds like a daring move? It’s gonna be better for everyone in the long-run though, here’s why.
2012 Game Developer Choice Awards Nominations
The Game Developer Choice Awards is probably the best award show in gaming. It’s an honor for a developer to earn an award because the voting is done entirely by their peers. Some of 2011′s biggest games will be on display like Skyrim and Uncharted, but smaller download only Bastion has also earned five nominations. In addition to the actual video game awards, the GDCA also recognizes important people in the industry with the Lifetime Achievement Award, Pioneer Award, and the Ambassador Award. This will be the 12th annual GDC Award ceremony being held in San Francisco March 7, 2012.
Playstation Celebrates You
Remember that trailer that Sony released about a week ago? Everyone and their mother’s dog was taking guesses at what it was and what it meant exactly. that trailer released a few days ago got a considerable amount of traffic, nearly 2.4 million views on only a few days. Just several more thousand views and that makes it PlayStation’s most watched YouTube video on their YouTube channel. Well, the continuation to that trailer is out now and it turns out it’s a continuation of the Long Live Play marketing campaign. Although it’s not the home revamp, XMB redesign,cross game chat, or Playstation Smash Bros it’s still pretty cool.
I’ve spotted
- Nathan Drake – Uncharted Series
- Lightning – Final Fantasy XIII and XII-2
- Cole McGrath – Infamous series
- Isaac Clarke – Dead Space
- Ghost – MW2
- Hitman guy forgot his name
- Sweet tooth – Twisted Metal Series
- Joe Mauer – MLB The Show
- Old/Solid Snake – Metal Gear Solid Series
- Chell – Portal 2
- Sackboy – Little Big Planet Series
- Athena & Kratos – God of War Series
- Helghast Soldiers – Killzone Series
- Chimera – Resistance Series
- USC Football Player – NCAA Football
- Omaha Soldiers – Medal of Honor Series/Call of Duty possibly
- Bioshock Girl – Bioshock Series
- Ezio – Assassin’s Creed Series
If you spot anything else leave a comment below. Also i’m fairly sure that Nolan North who played Nathan Drake and David Hayter who played Old Snake in this short film reprise their roles. The same goes for Cole McGrath, Athena, Ghost, and ISA Soldier, but i’m not sure.
