Oblivion and Okami nominated for Best Game award
The tallies have been counted and the finalists have been singled out. Capcom Entertainment and Clover Studio‘s (though sadly, now dissolved) Okami and Bethesda Game Studios and 2k Games‘ The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (coming out on PC, the X360, and PS3) bagged four nominations each, including being finalists in the category Best Game. This puts both titles ahead of all other nominees, of which thousands were submitted from all over the globe.
The Game Developer’s Choice Awards will determine this year’s Best Game at the Esplanade Ballroom of the Moscone Center’s South hall on March 7, 2007. Developers from all over the world will finally see the recipients of the assortment of GDC awards lined up for this year.
Also taking place is the Independent Game Festival Awards, whose recipients will also be announced at the same ceremony. Tim Schafer from Double Fine Productions is lined up to host the GDCA while Andy Schatz of PocketWatch Games will host the IGFA.
Now we know that both games are great, despite being available for different platforms. But like we said before, not everyone can vote or nominate their favorite games. Yes, like the award ceremony’s title implies, only the developers’ thoughts count.
Who will bag the ultimate prize? Well, stay tuned to find out.
