Dead Space, one of the ones that came out this year Heaps of other good titles. So the question becomes, are these remasters ineligible for Game of the Year? “So, yeah, there’s nothing new this year category-wise, but it’s definitely something we talk about every year, and Try to evaluate the best way to achieve this goal. This idea of ​​adding more unique categories also shed light on the possible addition of a Best Supporting Actor category, with Keighley revealing why the category hasn’t been created yet. “We’ve talked about it. There are a lot of great performances. On the other hand, we do have people saying ‘you guys are too focused on the narrative aspect of the game,’ ‘you guys are too much like the Oscars, you have writing and acting and those types of awards , you should focus more on gameplay-driven things’.
