- Game Science CEO has spoken against TGA for its award-winning criteria.
- He says he prepared his speech 2 years ago as he was very confident in the title.
- Feng said he’s proud of all the nominations and awards they won.
Black Myth: Wukong was undoubtedly the star of the show for 2024. Released by Game Science, a Chinese studio, it took the gaming world by storm. However, its lack of a Game of the Year award win at TGA 24 has the studio CEO questioning the criteria.
Why it matters: Having come fresh from an Ultimate GOTY award at the Golden Joystick Awards, Black Myth was nicely poised to win the accolade at the TGA as well, but Astro Bot was crowned as the winner.
Game Science CEO Feng Ji took to Chinese Social Media Weibo to criticize TGA’s award criteria. He said he’s proud of the four nominations that they bagged and especially proud of winning the Player’s Voice award.
I still can’t figure out what the criteria were for Game of the Year. I feel like I came all the way here for nothing!
– Feng Ji
Furthermore, he praised the games nominated for the GOTY this year but said that he can’t figure out the ultimate criteria for winning. Feng said he came all the way to TGA for nothing.
The speech for the annual game was written two years ago, but it was not used.
He revealed that he wrote this GOTY accepting speech two years ago because he was so confident in his game, only to never get a chance to deliver it all.
Nonetheless, Black Myth managed to win several awards, including Best Action Game and Player’s Voice. Game Science should keep its head up, as it has done some brilliant work this year and put the Chinese studios on the gaming map.
