GDC Awards 2017

Svelate le nomination per i GDC Awards 2017. I vincitori delle singole categorie saranno svelati l’1 marzo a San Francisco nel corso dei Game Developers Choice. L’evento sarà trasmesso in diretta streaming sul canale Twitch dell’organizzazione.

Tra i giochi che concorrono per il titolo di Gioco dell’Anno troviamo Uncharted 4, Overwatch, Inside, Dishonored 2 e Firewatch.

Tim Schafer, fondatore di Double Fine Productions, tornerà come presentatore dei premi per la sesta volta avendo precedentemente presentato gli Choice Awards nel 2007, 2009, 2011, 2013 e 2015.

Tra i più nominati troviamo, forse un po’ a sorpresa, Inside, il puzzle platform 2d di Playdead studio danese famoso per Limbo. Inside è nominato ben 6 volte. Una in meno per Overwatch, l’fps online di Blizzard, e per Firewatch, l’avventura in prima persona di Campo Santo che fa il suo esordio nell’industria proprio con questo titolo.
