This was the first time watching those awards. It was certainly fun to watch and that orchestra was amazing!
That show was excellent wasn't it Winfrey. I too had never watched a game awards show. It played out like the Academy Awards only better. I was actually surprised to see all the different
categories up for grabs. All the videos played not only for nominated games but for the "World Premiere" games, newly announced for 2023, were so well done. Had me wanting to play them all
Ken and Roberta Williams were announced to the stage to announce the nominees for the category
"Games for Impact" - "Games that changed the way people think and feel about the world".
"As Dusk Falls" won the award. Their announcement starts 1:54:27 into
the show. It was also anounced at that time that Colossal Cave will release Jan 19th. Nothing else was said about CC
Having watched the entire Game Awards it gave me a new understanding and appreciation for game development. Some of these developers don't mess around. They go all out. Orchestras , using actors , using the best tech out there along with the best graphics artists they can get their hands on
