2021 беше по-скоро успешна година за гейм пространството, ако вземем предвид глобалната обстановка и настоящата ситуация. През миналата година видяхме най-после проекти, които трябваше да излязат през 2020, а през 2021 бяха отложени игри за тази година. Но със заглавия, като Resident Evil: Village, Age of Empires IV, Deathloop, Returnal, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Forza Horizon 5 и няколко други, 2021 в никакъв случай не може да се определи, като слаба за видеоигрите.
Тази седмица бяха представени номинираните за наградите на Game Developer Conference (GDC). Церемонията по връчването им ще се проведе в края на март, на 23-ти, заедно с наградите на Independent Games Festival Awards (IGF). Вглеждайки се в списъка с номинирани, засега изглежда, че кандидатът да си тръгне с най-много награди от GDC 2022 е Deathloop, като играта е с цели шест номинации, следвана от чудесното кооперативно забавление на Hazelight Studios и Forza Horizon – с по четири. Двете игри правят компания на Resident Evil IV и Inscryption за най-добра игра на 2021. По-долу може да видите и пълния списък с номинации:
