Reacting to the honors, Swen Vincke claimed the group “didn’t plan on anything” and had actually also joked with each various other concerning strolling home empty-handed: “How are we going to get rid of the depression?” Vincke confesses that he assumed winning computer Game of the Year was feasible, however “didn’t think” the various other 6 honors would certainly comply with.

Vincke really assumed the grand prize (Ultimate Game of the Year) would certainly most likely to an additional five-star heavy-hitter. “Honestly I thought it was gonna be Alan Wake 2. I haven’t played it yet but I saw all the chatter about it. I saw people being ecstatic about it. So I figured it was gonna be Alan Wake 2, and if it wasn’t Alan Wake 2 I thought it was gonna be [The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom].”
The various other factor for Vincke’s shock was that games like Baldur’s Gate 3 don’t typically innovation with honors, which often alter towards ‘cinematic’ hits. “I didn’t think a PC-focused game like BG3 with hardcore RPG mechanics in there would be able to do this.”
