Previous recipients of this award include, among others, the “father of the PlayStation” Ken Kutaragi, the creator of Mario and The Legend of Zelda Shigeru Miyamoto and Hironobu Sakaguchi, the author of Final Fantasy.​

Miyazaki will be honored with the special CEDEC Awards, an award that has been presented by the Japanese game development organization CESA since 2008.

The head of the FromSoftware studio, as noted in CESA, develops his own approach to game design, making games with consistently high complexity and opening up new genre opportunities.

Beginning with “Demon’s Souls”, the consistently high-difficulty game design continues to fascinate fans and continues to break new ground as a genre. Their latest work, “ELDEN RING,” is a culmination of their previous work, achieving quality and volume that greatly surpasses their previous works, and has received extremely high praise from users all over the world and has become a huge hit. He has won numerous awards, and his titles have attracted attention not only from game fans but also from game creators.
from the CESA statement

The winners of the CEDEC Awards 2022 should be awarded at the end of August. The award will also be given out in several categories, including for game design, sound and visual style of games.

In 2021, Mark Cerny, PlayStation Console Architect, received a special CEDEC Awards .

Good for him. Miyazaki's my number one game creator of the last decade.

 

[Jennings]

Well deserved.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

 

[Thief1987]

Overrated.

 

[V1LÆM]

up there with the greats.

elden ring kinda disappointed me but still an amazing piece of work. can't wait to see what the next game is.

 

[Fess]

Deserved even for just Elden Ring alone

 

[GermanZepp]

Turn in your grave MiyazakiHatesKojima

 

[MrA]

Considering he made hard games acceptable again, I'd say well deserved

 

[Barakov]

Well deserved.

 

[ParaSeoul]

He deserves it but not for Elden Ring since that was mediocre.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Overrated.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Amazing career, well deserved.

 

[Missingnomer]

He deserves it but not for Elden Ring since that was mediocre.

Yes, we get it. You are very cool. Elden Ring is a new, popular, and critically-acclaimed game that is loved the vast majority of the gaming community, but mediocre, for sure. You didn't let those unwashed masses tell you what a good game is! You already know! Good on you for being a cut above everyone else. Gaming would have been doomed if we were all brainwashed into worshiping Elden Ring. You and a handful of true gamers saw its mediocrity. Thank you for showing everyone that Elden Ring is indeed, mediocre.

Hopefully when they give this award to Miyazaki, they make sure to clarify that he is receiving this prestigious award despite the mediocrity that is Elden Ring.

 

[GermanZepp]

Overrated.

Ignored

 

[Stamps1646]

Hidetaka Miyazaki, much praise and well deserved.

He has helped shape FromSoftware to create some of the best challenging games I have ever experienced.
The first time I played Demon Souls 2009, I knew this is what I was missing from gaming, and I wanted more.

 

[Fake]

King.

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

Well deserved.

Definitely!

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

Overrated.

 

[Fbh]

Well deserved.

Nobel peace prize next

 

[tommib]

Overrated.

It’s been awhile since I put someone on ignore. Congrats.

 

[Chiggs]

Overrated.

I could make better games than Miyazaki. I just choose not to.

 

[nkarafo]

Well, he created a genre basically.

 

[Skifi28]

I could make better games than Miyazaki. I just choose not to.

If you ever decide to give it a go, I'm willing to fund your efforts from my mom's basement.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

All goats

 

[fart town usa]

The man is a creative genius and deserves every bit of praise he receives.

 

[Saber]

As it should. Elden Ring simply put fears in most of devs and simply showed that artistic vision is above everything. Not to mention its open world.

 

[Bigfroth]

I'd love to have been a fly on the wall in every major developer's meeting room as they watched Elden Ring bust through ratings, sales, genre, and cultural barriers while sitting there scratching their heads thinking WTF??!

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

It’s been awhile since I put someone on ignore. Congrats.

Is it a hot take? Is he 12 and being edgy?

Did he *GASP* troll us?

 

[SmokedMeat]

Well deserved.

 

[Dancer_BV]

No matter the reason, I'd say tommib made the right choice

 

[Paulxo87]

Just finished my first playthrough at 120 hours tonight.

Truly was an adventure. GOTY for sure

 

[cortadew]

up there with the greats.

elden ring kinda disappointed me but still an amazing piece of work. can't wait to see what the next game is.

Why did it dissapoint you?

 

[cortadew]

I still feel sekiro has the best combat mechanics in any game ever.

 

[GigaBowser]

This guys games are good but way too samey for my likings.

Dodge rolls and foggy doors!

I get it already.

Try Sekiro

 

[GigaBowser]

Try Sekiro

Sekiro is the standout and mixes it up a little more with the parry focus.

Of the Souls clones Bloodborne is still the king.

 

[Thief1987]

Did he *GASP* troll us?

Yeah, everyone who doesn't worship your idols is an edgy 12 years old, it's definitely works like that.

 

[cortadew]

In a way most developers even talented ones start to become a bit too repetitive over time, only a select few like Miyamoto could reinvent the wheel every time.

 

[balls of snow]

Wow over Kojima san.

 

[Ceadeus]

Wow that's a really good news. Does anyone outside Japan won the award before? Or is it Japan only?

 

[Arachnid]

He deserves every award out there. Keep piling them on.

 

[Shifty]

Couldn't have picked a better mugshot.

 

[Flakster99]

Well earned.

 

[Sorne]

So much deserved michaelzaki. Keep doing you.

 

[pqueue]

I think it would be funny if when they go to present the award to him, they just keep doing circle strafe around him as he tries to grab the award.

see how he likes it.

 

[pqueue]

So much deserved michaelzaki.

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

Yeah, everyone who doesn't worship your idols is an edgy 12 years old, it's definitely works like that.

But that's the thing man. I'm not that familiar with this guy who won other than he directed Elden Ring and de rest before. Can't spell his name when asked for. So Idol? Hmmm... Dont mistake me for a hardcore fan that follows him on social media.

Worshipping my idol

And if I myself can put over 550 hours in a game and still keep me intrigued and curious about what's around the corner PLUS makes me drop GT7 which launched not even a week later. Then yeah

And people saying they're going to put you on ignore has less to do with your statement but more with what makes you think and therefore post "overrated" because I'm sure as fuck you knew posting that in such a manner would grant you reactions as above.

You knew it would work like that.

So. 18 then?

 

[Bartski]

GOAT-man

 

[TheGecko]

3 cult style followers exist now for mediocre games that are pretty much same as what came before it.

1.COD
2.FIFA
3.SOULS GAMES
