B-but Bloodborne was the only game on that list with notable art direction.

wtf have you seen ori?

 

[serenewarfare]

Hah, Phil's shirt says

Kinda random, but okay.

What the hell. lol

 

[Sheroking]

Not sure I put any game, ever, over Ori in terms of art direction.

 

[BronsonLee]

[Forearm Star]

Well deserved, but wanted Bloodbourne for the awkwardness

Congrats!

[Seven Force]

A terrible selection of nominees for this category, but at least the one that actually deserved to be nominated won.

Agreed, though Bloodborne was a solid nomination, I guess.

 

[Shenmue]

Hahah Phil looked mad waving them off stage.

 

[VibratingDonkey]

Phil Spencer's posture always weirds me the fuck out. Why does he always stand like he's facing a hurricane?

He heard Oculus Rift will blow him away.

 

[7DollarHagane]

Bloodborne deserved it enough for spencer to say it.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

Kojima Productions got shafted!

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Im sure Ori deserves it but daaamn the art style in Bloodborne was SOOOO good.

 

[munchie64]

Why the hell was MGS in there.
Good for Ori guys.

 

[aly]

Bloodborne getting nothing tonight

 

[Sealed]

I'd have picked Bloodborne, but all of them except MGSV are fine

 

[cj_iwakura]

What is the Kung Fury content?

 

[Manu]

I wanted Bloodborne to win but Ori is goddamn beautiful too.

 

[sora87]

What a fucking joke. Like seriously. Bloodborne getting shit on,

 

[Japanmanx3]

Lol awkward. Somebody gif the shoo off lol

 

[Jawbreaker]

While I prefer the art direction in Bloodborne, I really can't get mad at Ori taking this.

 

[bounchfx]

ori was god damn beautiful, well deserved

 

[McBryBry]

Realism, Realism, Bloodborne's sort of realism, Ori, Realism

Ori and Bloodborne were the only ones who should've been in that category.

 

[nym]

Poor Bloodborne =(

 

[8-Bit Sunset]

LOL they look lost!

 

[TechJunk]

SOON AS Phil stepped up to present, you knew Bloodborne had no chance

 

[rhandino]

I wanted Phil to say Bloodborne so so much, lol

 

[Easy_D]

Buff Hamill hype

 

[Macattk15]

Lol. That game probably took a fraction of the time to create compared to BB .... whatever.

Award shows are stupid and subjective.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

No offense to Ori but bloodborne losing...just no.

 

[Innolis]

None of those games had a better art direction than Bloodborne, what a ripoff.

 

[Timeaisis]

Grats Moon Studios. Well deserved.

 

[friskykillface]

LUKE coming up

 

[Einhander]

pretty sure some guy just shouted "XBOX!!!"

MS hired the plant.

 

[TheXbox]

Did Phil just hustle those dudes off stage?

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

That was slightly awkward.

 

[Pachimari]

Well deserved. : )

You have the most perfect avatar on GAF. Love it!

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Dat Austrian accent

 

[Big Green Anus]

Why am I the only person in the world who seems to like Tales of Graces F?? I LIKED the story, and character arcs in that game. It was my first Tales game, and I really enjoyed it, and not just for the combat.

I honestly like it as well and does not deserve the constant hate from people.

 

[Gilby]

Ori, indesputably. Also it's rad to see an Art Direction category on-stage at something like this.

I thought SOME of the art in Ori was excellent, but when everything looks like a glowing blob with a ton of bloom you can't even tell what's going on. And the

Spoiler

baby owls

looked awful IMO.

 

[Kinyou]

The game industry collectively doesn't know how to dress themselves. The only one that does is probably Nomura.

And Troy Baker.

 

[keltickennedy]

Bloodborne was on the card. Spencer paused and said Ori.

kidding

 

[Red Hood]

Would be fucking awkward if Bloodborne won. lol

But Bloodborne got robbed as far as I'm concerned. All great games, but Bloodborne art is surreal.

 

[melkier33]

fuckin rigged

bloodborne destroys everything else in that category

This

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Isnt this the Telltale game no one likes

 

[BenHargrove]

Are these threads always this salty? xD

You should've seen last year.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Bloodbornes walking out of these awards completely robbed isn't it...

 

[Nerokis]

Phil Spencer's posture always weirds me the fuck out. Why does he always stand like he's facing a hurricane?

Lol. I love that we are so goddamn sensitive to the trivial little details in the presentation of these things.

"Sex, drugs, and video games? I hate this hobby."

"SANDALS AND SHORTS"

"What's with Phil's posture?"

Good God. It's nonstop.

 

[Coffee Dog]

lol, nominees for art direction are varying shades of brown because they can't nominate more than one indie game
