But famously, The Game Awards timing makes absolutely no sense.
While this istechnicallya fair workaround, nobody ever remembers to nominate the games released in December the previous year.
Thats just the way the cookie crumbles.
Even the games released in January get short shrift.
Ill get into examples later, but Midnight Suns, anyone?
I will never forgive the TGA jury for snubbingLike a Dragon: Infinite Wealthfor Game of the Year.
Could The Great Circle Have Made It To A GOTY Nom?
Indiana Jones and the Great Circlewas released on December 9, three days before The Game Awards aired.
My Game of the Yearlist looked quite different from The Game Awards, but thats par for the course.
That said, I do think that The Great Circle would have been nominated forsomething.
Were already seeing it rightfully getting acknowledged at other award shows, specifically the D.I.C.E.
Awards, one of the most prestigious shows in the industry.
The year his wrapped up, but I still need to put a bow on these games.
Itll be forgotten, especially if, god forbid, Grand Theft Auto 6 actually comes out next year.
December just isnt a good time to release a video game anymore they inevitably slip through the cracks.
Uncover one of history’s greatest mysteries in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle™, a first-person, single-player adventure set between the events ofRaiders of the Lost ArkandThe Last Crusade. The year is 1937, sinister forces are scouring the globe for the secret to an ancient power known as the Great Circle, and only one person can stop them - Indiana Jones. You’ll become the legendary archaeologist in this cinematic action-adventure game from MachineGames, the award winning studio behind the recent Wolfenstein series, and executive produced by Hall of Fame game designer Todd Howard.
Thats a crying shame.
You should play it now, before you forget it exists.
