Dobbelt hæder til danske ‘Inside’ ved nattens The Game Awards

Selvom de også blev forbigået, er der formodentlig fest og glade dage hos danske Playdead i dag. Ved uddelingen af den efterhånden ret så prestigiøse The Game Awards i Los Angeles i nat løb de nemlig med to priser for deres anmelderroste ‘Inside’, som vi honorerede med seks stjerner i august.

Mens ‘Overwatch’ blev aftenens store vinder med tre priser for bedste spil, bedste instruktion og bedste multiplayer, må det siges at ‘Inside’ lå godt til i hovedfeltet med sine to priser, hvilket ellers kun var kæmpeudviklerne bag ‘Pokémon GO’, ‘Doom’ og ‘Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End’ forundt.

‘Inside’ var også nomineret i den helt store kategori, bedste narrativ og for musik/lyddesign, men blev her slået af henholdsvis ‘Overwatch’, ‘Uncharted 4’ og ‘Doom’.

Blandt de bemærkelsesværdige øjeblikke under uddelingen var blandt andet en live-optræden med det voldsomme ‘Doom’-soundtrack, Rae Sremmurd der leverede ‘Black Beatles’ og en tårevædet takketale fra udvikleren bag ‘That Dragon, Cancer’ – et spil om at miste sit barn til kræft.

Priserne blev fordelt som følger – vinderne er markeret med fed:
