Game Awards: God of War schlägt Red Dead Redemption 2

In einer dreistündigen Veranstaltung wurden die Auszeichnungen für die besten Spiele des Jahres, sowie für diverse E-Sport-Kategorien vergeben. Zum Glück ließ sich die Jury nicht durch die Masse beeinflussen: Red Dead Redemption 2 wurde nicht zum Spiel des Jahres gekürt. Dazu fehlt einfach der Feinschliff. Zurecht ging der Titel an God of War, einem Exklusiv-Titel für Sonys PlayStation 4.

Die komplette Veranstaltung kann hier angesehen werden. Die Übertragung beginnt bei Minute 34.

Dafür konnte aber Red Dead Redemption 2 in zahlreichen anderen Kategorien gewinnen. Das Western-Game gewann insgesamt vier Auszeichnungen, God of War insgesamt drei. Spider-Man ging hingegen völlig leer aus. Hier sind die Gewinner und nominierten im Überblick:
