The game is rooted in ancient mythology and stars Kratos, the former Greek god of war, and his son Atreus. Fortnite, released in 2017, was named best evolving game. Despite receiving six nominations, UK-made western adventure Red Dead Redemption 2 walked away empty-handed at the glitzy ceremony in central London. The first God of War game was released in 2005. This eighth instalment in the series, developed by Santa Monica Studio, sees its iconic lead character Kratos - son of Zeus - as a struggling single parent. Cory Barlog, director of God of War, told the BBC winning the awards was "amazing, overwhelming, and scary". He said the win showed that story-led games could be as "relevant" as the presently popular Battle Royale style titles. Nintendo's Labo won two awards, one for best family game and the other for innovation. It is the cardboard toolkit that lets players explore the interactivity of the firm's Switch console, for example by creating a piano. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You made a joke but actually I think it’s release was too soon to be nominated for anything this time. Maybe they’ll turn it around to win evolving game next year ?

mfnick Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 RDR 2 should have won narrative IMO. Very happy it didn’t win the overall award though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmmark Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 I didn’t get on with GoW at all. It was ok but I wasn’t grabbed by it. Seemed like a bunch of set pieces you had no say over before having to mash buttons. I did only only play a couple of hours though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know and agree. I should have said I don’t own a PS4 and had fleeting access to playing it. I think if I sat down and played it I’d get into its cinematics. Maybe it was more than 2 hours.. There was a troll.. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live at my brothers and he has one. That’s why I bought a xb1. No point having two PS4s in the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only say it as I thought I remembered you posting a PS4 game in the buying thread. @wiivo 2.0 Yeah red dead. But with limited access and time to play I’m going to start over on xb1.

Maryokutai Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Technically none of the games are from 2021. It's a bit weird that these shows are always out of synch with the calendar year, particularly if it's by 9 months like in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
