Awards

Gran Turismo 7 has picked up another prestigious gaming award, this time earning recognition from the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences (AIAS) as its racing game of the year in the annual DICE Awards.

Playground Games has added another achievement to its trophy case. Last night at the annual British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Awards, it picked up the win for Best British Game for Forza Horizon 4.

Playground Games and Turn 10 Studios can add another award to the trophy cabinet this week after Forza Horizon 4 took home Racing Game of the Year at the 2018 D.I.C.E Awards.

Forza Horizon 4 bagged another accolade last week. At The Game Awards, it beat out a lineup of 2018’s best sports titles to claim the title of Sports/Racing Game of the Year.

With only a few days to go until Gamescom, we already know which games are up for awards.

It’s the time of end of the year lists. Eurogamer’s just published its own, and sim racers will spot a familiar name on it.

The plaudits just keep coming for Turn 10’s latest title. Forza Motorsport 7 has been crowned IGN’s Racing Game of The Year.

Kazunori Yamauchi, creator of the Gran Turismo series and Senior Vice President of Sony Interactive Entertainment, received an honorary doctorate degree from the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia (UNIMORE).

The Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences (AIAS) has announced the winners of the prestigious 20th D.I.C.E. Awards. A total of 24 awards were granted to various titles that formed the gaming landscape last year, one of which went to the widely-acclaimed Forza Horizon 3.

The end of the year is fast approaching, and that means a whole lot of best-of lists are about to hit. The Game Awards already got their presentation out of the way (awarding Forza Horizon 3 the best sports/racing title), and now Red Bull has announced the winner of its Readers’ Racing Game of the Year poll: Assetto Corsa.

2016 is drawing to a close. For some, it’s a time to reflect on the last twelve months. For the entertainment industries, it means awards season. We understand — we’ve even got our own GTPlanet Awards coming up — and for gaming, one of the bigger events of the year is the imaginatively-named Game Awards.

Kazunori Yamauchi has been honored in UK Esquire magazine’s “Man at the Top 2010” awards for his work on GT5 and the GT series. Esquire recognized ten men who “rewrote the future through their works in the past year”, placing Yamauchi alongside some big names, including actor Russell Crowe, “Inception” director Christopher Nolan, Twitter CEO Evan Willams,  Tour de France star Mark Cavendish, and others.
