The Recreation Awards are lower than per week away, and we’ve already begun to brace ourselves. If the upcoming occasion is something like its predecessors, then it’s going to be largely centered on a collection of trailers for upcoming video games interspersed with a handful of awards given onstage. And that’s nice — it’s what I count on, and it’s a pivotal a part of the business’s yearly calendar. Nevertheless, there’s a small a part of me that may’t assist however want the Recreation Awards did extra . . . you already know, awarding. Specifically, I want it might contemplate giving awards to elements of recreation improvement employees that the participant doesn’t essentially see.
Say what you’ll concerning the Oscars — I personally have referred to as it a meaningless pageant of empty self-congratulations on many events. However no less than the Oscars strive to honor the elements of movie creation in addition to the administrators, producers and actors, resembling sound mixing and modifying. They’re not the glamorous elements of filmmaking, but when we’re going to fake the awards are to laud the artwork kind, then it is sensible to acknowledge the individuals who do the nitty-gritty work.
That is my long-winded means of claiming I want that The Recreation Awards would honor the individuals who have put quite a lot of thankless work into the video games business — lots of whom have misplaced their jobs this yr by way of no fault of their very own. And don’t get me flawed, these trailers and World Premieres assist builders too, garnering consideration for his or her video games and serving to to construct hype for them pre-release. Nevertheless it appears like there’s a human factor that’s lacking right here.
Nonetheless, for individuals who are searching for a human factor, GamesBeat is holding its newest occasion simply earlier than The Recreation Awards on Dec 7. “Pixels to Pop Tradition” will characteristic a number of audio system and panels about how the video games business is working with Hollywood to create new experiences for audiences. I received’t be there in particular person (I’m nonetheless engaged on this huge EOY rating listing, so I’m not leaving my home for a number of weeks no less than), however I’ll be watching the occasion earlier than Geoff Keighley’s present will get underway.
