BAFTA Games Awards 2020 : Outer Wilds et Disco Elysium dominent la cérémonie 100 % numérique
par Auxance M.C'est une cérémonie des BAFTA Games Awards un peu spéciale qui a mis en lumière les meilleurs jeux de 2019, pour beaucoup des indés selon le corps électoral.
Les BAFTA Games Awards 2020 avaient forcément une saveur particulière cette année, alors que la cérémonie s'est déroulée au format numérique pour respecter les consignes en cette période de crise sanitaire. Le comédien irlandais Dara O’Briain était donc bien seul avec son costume pour décerner des prix à des nommés qui avaient enregistré leurs remerciements en vidéo.
Cette cérémonie déjà en décalage avec son temps, car elle prime les meilleurs jeux de 2019 durant le quatrième mois de l'année suivante, a donné lieu à un palmarès original, bien loin des carcans des AAA habituellement représentés en grande majorité. Les indés ont presque tout raflé, à commencer par Outer Wilds et ses trois statuettes, dont celle du meilleur jeu. Disco Elysium a aussi marqué la soirée avec trois prix, pour sa musique, son histoire et son studio, qui réalisait ici son premier jeu. Hideo Kojima a beau avoir reçu un BAFTA Fellowship Award pour l'ensemble de sa carrière, son Death Stranding ne repart qu'avec le trophée de la réalisation technique.
