With the end of the tgn game of the year awards ceremony, this year's game of the year has come out.
There is no doubt that Chen Mo's "The Legend of Zelda".
In fact, there is no suspense about this result. When "The Legend of Zelda" swept the game media all over the world and got more than a dozen full-score reviews, this year's game of the year was almost decided.
In this year's game of the year selection, the two games "Monster Hunter" and "Assassin's Creed" were also shortlisted for the game of the year, that is to say, Chen Mo almost bagged the game of the year again. Let the title of "Best Designer of the Year" lose suspense very early.
Of course, the title of "Best Designer of the Year" is not selected by the major game media. For the game media, the selection of games is much more important than the selection of designers.
This title exists in every player's heart.
Just like the high-voted answer on the domestic question-and-answer website before: Chen Mo no longer needs the annual game to prove himself, but the annual game needs him to prove it.
If Chen Mo's game didn't win the Game of the Year award, then people wouldn't think Chen Mo's game was bad, but would think there was something wrong with the selection of Game of the Year.
The news of the annual game did not cause much sensation, but the next two news instantly attracted the attention of players all over the world.
Chen Mo was inducted into the World Game Hall of Fame.
Chen Mo appeared on the cover of Time Magazine.
The World Game Hall of Fame is to record and allow more people to remember and understand groups or individuals who have made outstanding contributions to games and have had a significant impact on game development. It can be regarded as a lifetime achievement award for the game industry worldwide. Those who can be selected are all the best game designers in the world, and each of them has one or several super classic games with great influence.
It is not too surprising that Chen Mo was selected into the World Game Hall of Fame. After all, he was able to win the best game of the year for three consecutive years. This achievement cannot be said to be unprecedented, but it must be unprecedented.
Simply speaking of influence, there may be some famous designers in the past who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Chen Mo, but such a prolific designer really can't find a second one.
What's more, in this era, Chen Mo has become the most dazzling one.
For players, it will be a matter of time before Chen Mo enters the World Game Hall of Fame. Some people even think that Chen Mo should have entered last year.
But the matter of the cover character of Time Magazine still shocked many players.
Time magazine selects a "person of the hour" as its cover every year, and its purpose is to "select the person who has the most important influence on news and people's lives". In the beginning, "Person of the Year" was not some kind of honor, but only considered from the point of "the most significant influence". It's just that later, the political meaning of this selection became stronger and stronger, and a large part of the covers were politicians.
However, some people who have achieved outstanding achievements in other fields will also be taken into consideration, such as IT industry leaders, scientists who have made major breakthroughs, influential stars, outstanding athletes and so on.
After entering the era of peace, many political missions have gradually become less prominent in Time magazine's figures of the day, and due to the attention given to the game industry in the parallel world, the game field is also regarded as being incompatible with traditional fields such as entertainment and sports. At the same level, it has a very profound impact on the development of the entire world.
What made everyone pay more attention was Time Magazine's comment on Chen Mo's Person of the Year.
On the cover of Time Magazine, Chen Mo tilted his head slightly, looked at the front left of the camera with deep eyes, and a faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth. This photo comes from the emoji package "Serente's Smile" that has been widely spread on the Internet, but it has been specially processed to remove the irrelevant background and replace it with a dark background.
A small part of his cheek is hidden in shadow, making his facial features look more three-dimensional and mysterious.
At the top of the screen are the four bright red English letters "time", and above that is the title "person of the year". On the right side of the screen, there is a short comment.

the man
ho changed
the game
If it is literally translated into Chinese, it means "the person who changes the game", but it also has another meaning, "the person who changes the rules of the game".
Because the word "game" does not only represent video games, it can also be regarded as "all games" in a broad sense. This sentence also implies that Chen Mo is not only changing the game industry, but also Changing every aspect of the world, including people's way of life.
To be able to get this comment on the cover of Time Magazine is already a very high praise.
In the more detailed reasons for the selection, Time magazine wrote:
"In the history known to mankind, games have never been so deeply embedded in everyone's life as they are today. Mobile phones, personal computers, vr game cabins, smart glasses... While smart devices are constantly changing people's lifestyles, they are equipped with The game has become more and more abundant, and has become an indispensable part of people's daily life and entertainment."
"For many players, many games have become virtual worlds independent of reality, making our world more diverse."
"Until now, the game industry has been highly developed, and only the top designers can satisfy the increasingly demanding players. The perfect virtual world experience brings people a dream world that cannot be touched by exhausting all imaginations, and This bubble-like illusory yet palpable reality comes from the mind of a genius and inexhaustible inspiration."
"To commemorate the great achievements of the game industry so far, Time Magazine's Person of the Year honors Celent Chen."
"Like his own name, he was silent most of the time, as if immersed in the ocean of his own thoughts; he was so focused that no one could guess the hidden meaning behind his silence and smile. He always Make decisions or choices that are startling and, in hindsight, visionary."
"The game industry all over the world has recognized that he is the greatest game designer of this era. He is a genius and has always been down-to-earth to make one game after another."
"Moreover, unlike other designers, Celente is a top game player himself. In the battle with artificial intelligence, he has gained the attention of the world and has been worshiped as a god by many players."
"He has achieved each other with this era. We are going through a major transformation, just like the industrial revolution, information revolution and other major turning points, but this transformation is carried out in a more subtle and pleasing way. Games are changing our world."
