Arrowhead Game Studios and Sony's Helldivers 2 was the big winner of the 2024 TIGA Awards, taking home the Best Technical Innovation and Game of the Year prizes last night.

Sony Interactive Entertainment also won awards for Best Use of a License, thanks to Marvel's Spider-Man 2, and Best Narrative in Games for The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered.

Ninja Theory and Microsoft's Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 won two awards, for Best Action & Adventure Game of 2024, and Diversity in Games.

Helldivers or Balatro, there is no 3rd option

I've never dropped a game faster in my life. it was like a really fun 4 hours and then I saw eveything the game had to offer.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Spiderman 2 came out in 2023.

 

[Nankatsu]

How the fuck does a Remaster win the best narrative award? The narrative is exactly the same as it was years ago.

Also, Hellblade II Best Action & Adventure Game?

 

[MarkMe2525]

Not my style of game, but I can see the appeal. While it is a good looking game, I wouldn't have expected it to win "Best Visual Design" and "Best Technical Innovation", but I'm also not in the room while they are having these discussions. I do understand the "Game of the Year" award, as this game was on fire for quite awhile, and still has a healthy player base.

Edit: They gave the best VR/MR/XR/AR game to Assassins Creeds: Nexus, I can't imagine the people that compiled this list even play on VR platforms. What a joke.

 

[Mr Moose]

Spiderman 2 came out in 2023.

And Hellblade II won best action and adventure. This is done by AI, right?

Looks like this is awards given out only to TIGA members.

BEST VISUAL DESIGN 2024

I think Helldivers' visual design is far more interesting than Hellblade, just because it has higher quality assets doesn't really mean it's that interesting to look at. Otherwise I'd look at real life all the time.

Eh....I played both quite a bit and I was far more impressed with Hellblade 2 visually. Hellblade 2 winning action/adventure is the bigger joke here though.

 

[Sebastian1295]

When i think of action/adventure games the last thing that would come to mind is hellblade 2.

All of this is correct.

If it was just about the visual quality i'd agree yea... but it's about visual design of the game, I don't really think a bunch of photogrammetry makes it good visual design

*edit* tbf helldivers probably didn't have the best visual design of the year either, I'd say zenless zone zero or metaphor deserve that

Probably the most subjective category either way.

 

[nordique]

wow. Solid game but wouldn't have been my choice

 

[j0hnnix]

I'm really enjoying HD2 but GOTY..

 

[ZehDon]

Sony Interactive Entertainment also won awards for ... Best Narrative in Games for The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered.

The meme is real. Holy shit.

Progression was broken for weeks/months for a lot of people as well. I got burned out only being able to play easy mode and got tired of waiting.
