Title: Alien Isolation Leading BAFTA Nominations
Post by: Corporal Hicks on Feb 10, 2015, 03:32:55 PM

Anyone who has been following Alien Isolation’s Twitter or Facebook feeds will be aware of the multitude of awards that the game has been racking up over the last few months. However, a particularly prestigous award body, the BAFTA Game Awards, has just unveiled their nominations for 2015.

Clocking in with a total of 6 nominations, Alien Isolation has received more nominations than any other title.

Nominated categories include:

The nominations are all well deserved – as are all the other awards that Alien Isolation has been given – and the team at AvP Galaxy would like to congratulate everyone involved in making the game that blew us all away in October.

It's bound to win a few, definitely Best British Game and maybe one for the sound/music.

Can't believe Wolfenstein wasn't nominated. That was my favourite game of 2014.

It definitely deserves Audio Achievement. I am continually impressed by how effective the sound design is in that game.

It's genuinely refreshing - as a fan - to have a game like this to be proud of. Especially after the recent years.

If they ask, it gets all :D

It's one of my all time favorites for sure.

I could hands down say yes to everything except Best Game. For me, it's a toss up between A:I and.........Mario Kart 8. Both games are awesome.


Oh and Bayonetta 2 is neck and neck also.




Banner Saga did really well in sound and music also.

I got to say, everything except Best Game. I had allot of fun with it and can't wait to return for another round with the DLC.

Hmmm - Mario Kart 8?
I'm sure it's an extremely entertaining game - but it is the latest in an "Octology" (!) - lol

There can't be much originality there. Unlike Alien, which dared to do something different and dared to shite all over people who play it badly and lose over and over again.

It WAS the best game of 2014.

It's over. Alien Isolation won one award out of the six it was up for - Best Audio Achievement.

I thought it would have picked up more awards. Best Music went to Far Cry 4 somehow. Monument Valley won two awards. I liked it but the game lasted me about an hour before I finished it.

Destiny won Best Game?

:-\ Yeah, my exact thoughts.

At least the team came away with one award and Audio was probably one of my favourite aspects of the game.

It really should've won more. At least the one for the best British game.

I'm surprised this didn't pick up Best Game, but I flat out can't believe it lost to Destiny.

SEGA's pockets ain't as deep as Activision's.

anyone taking those BAFTA awards seriously might have a problem. I still remember codemasters F12010 being awarded a Bafta back then LoL. That was when I stopped caring about bafta awards

Wow. This whole thing is botched. A:I should've won more awards, for sure.

As much as I love Destiny, I can't believe it won Best Game.

I really hate to say it but a lot of those awards it really didn't need to win. Best audio is fine. It's an interesting game but it has some real flaws, I love it, but it's not everyone's cup of tea. I don't think anyone in something as serious as BAFTA is "shouldn't be taken seriously" for awarding it with Best Audio. Which it deserved wholly.

Disgusting, Destiny is some of the worst trash I've ever have the misfortune of laying eyes upon.
