12th Annual Game Developers Choice Awards Nominees

If you were in the middle of a match on PC and I flipped that [he gestures at my laptop] closed while you're in the middle of a match and you load it up on your phone, you would be right back in the match where you were. That is a must for us on any platform. If we have to start segmenting our audience to say 'folks on this platform can only play folks on that platform', or 'any progress you make on that platform can't be there', then man, that's a bad situati


" Fallout 76, sure: it would be nice if I could play on my Xbox and my kid is playing on his PC and we can play together, but if we can't, OK. There's lots of games - I play Overwatch on Xbox and he plays on PC separately and has a whole separate account. It's not critical. But for Legends it's absolutely criti


While it isn't the most well-known MMO property - that's still reserved for giants like World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy XIV - SoulWorker has been making a name for itself over the years as a quality anime MMO experience that offers several different selling points that help differentiate it from the rest. It's been a popular game in its own right, too, with consistent updates and an active, passionate community supporting


He starts off by talking about Fallout 76, and how cross-play would be a nice feature for that game, but isn't required. He then moves onto The Elder Scrolls: Legends and describes how it is pivotal to the experience. The game is supposed to carry over progression from platform to platform and even allows players to switch between them mid-game. Pete Hines believes that only a "bad situation" will arise if Bethesda decided to segment the game's player b


The problem comes to a head with the PS4 version of the game though. It's no secret that Sony is very stingy about cross-play, not even allowing it in Fortnite , which is currently the biggest game in the world. While Pete Hines says the solution to this problem is "to be determined," Bethesda isn't really willing to budge on it, and have to make this clear to every platform hol


At this year's 2012 Game Developers Conference the 12th Annual Game Developers Choice Awards will be presented to thousands of representatives from the gaming community. Many of the games nominated come as no surprise, but this is not the Spike Video Game Awards (see the Spike VGA 2011 winners here ) and the outcome may be a little unexpected compared to the commercialism of Spike's award s


"We have a whole host of new features and functionality in store for 2017, and we’ll continue with regular releases of new Stories and full card sets every few months throughout this year and beyond. With aggressive updates to the cards and the metagame, new Story campaigns, and upcoming expansions, we want Legends to constantly evolve and grow for new and existing play


Like its PC version, SoulWorker: Anime Legends will let players choose between six different heroes who must stop the Great Void from destroying the world and allowing demons to run rampant in its ruins. SoulWorker: Anime Legends will allow fans to play as already-established characters within the SoulWorker universe, each with distinct classes: Lilly Bloommerchen (Mist Scythe), Erwin Arclight (Gun Jazz), Iris Yuma (Hammer Stol), Haru Estia (Soulum Sword), Jin Seipatsu (Spirit Arms) and Stella Unibell (Howling Guitar). SoulWorker: Anime Legends will offer players new areas, maps, and content, which includes PvE and PvP features and 8x4 mazes to explore. Character progression will also be available in the form of character exclusive battle skills which help players discover new combos tied into the game's emotion sys


The Game Developers Choice Awards committee will also be announcing its Special Award recipients before the ceremony, including honorees for the Pioneer, Ambassador and Lifetime Achievement Special Awards. There will also be a special reveal as to the identity of this year's Game Developers Choice Awards h


But in fairness not just with Sony - with everybody. We need everybody to be on board and understand - Nintendo, Microsoft - this is how we're proceeding. I don't want anybody to think I'm trying to single Sony out because I'm not.These conversations we have, we have with everybody, including Apple and Goog


"We continue to make our case for 'this is how it needs to work' and 'this is how it needs to function'. But we are moving ahead with the assumption that any platform we release it on must support cross-progression and cross-play. I am aware of the conflict that arises given that statement but we are continuing to work on


All of the winners will be announced during the awards ceremony at the Game Developers Conference in San Francsisco on March 7th at 6:30 pm at the Moscone Convention Center.

Yet, in their bid to be in the hands of as many players as possible, EA may stretch their new property too far. It doesn’t take a genius to recognize that the mobile versions of both of the previously mentioned battle royale giants are relatively sub-par when compared to their console counterparts, and rushing such an ambitious port to market may be detrimental to the title’s overall qual
