This year's Game Developers Choice Online Awards celebrated the best-in-class MMO, social, mobile, and free-to-play games, and now you can check out the ceremony for yourself in a brand new archived video.
November 7, 2012
MMOs, free-to-play games, and social and mobile titles all had their time in the spotlight at last month's Game Developers Choice Online Awards. The prestigious event has come and gone, but the GDC Vault is now inviting viewers to relive the evening with a special video archive of the show. Hosted by Rebel Entertainment's Mike Goslin, this year's ceremony at GDC Online celebrated best-in-class online games from all over the industry, from hit mobile titles to sprawling MMO juggernauts. Winners included notable games such as Riot's League of Legends, BioWare's Star Wars: The Old Republic, Zynga and Omgpop's Draw Something, and much more. In addition, World of Warcraft won its very own spot in the ceremony's Hall of Fame, and Ultima Online and Star Wars Galaxies pioneer Raph Koster received a special honor as an 'Online Game Legend.' With GDC Online evolving into GDC Next and moving to Los Angeles in 2013, this show will be remembered as the final incarnation of the esteemed Austin-based event. To watch this year's award show for yourself, be sure to check out the above GDC Vault video.
In addition to this presentation, the GDC Vault offers numerous other free videos, audio recordings, and slides from many of the recent GDC events, and the service offers even more members-only content for GDC Vault subscribers. Those who purchased All Access passes to events like GDC, GDC Europe, and GDC Online already have full access to GDC Vault, and interested parties can apply for the individual subscription Beta via a GDC Vault inquiry form. Group subscriptions are also available: game-related schools and development studios who sign up for GDC Vault Studio Subscriptions can receive access for their entire office or company. More information on this option is available via an online demonstration, and interested parties can send an email to Gillian Crowley. In addition, current subscribers with access issues can contact GDC Vault admins. Be sure to keep an eye on GDC Vault for even more new content, as GDC organizers will also archive videos, audio, and slides from other events like GDC China and GDC 2013.
