[marcoalcuricamposjr]

Its the hype of sites and analists... one of worst launch ever!!! game is terrible and now for me abandoned.

[Voss]

Means as much as obama getting the nobel peace price.

shills and corruption

When the shows started (awards events, etc), the game was in development. You can't buy only for the awards. You need to see videos, gameplays, not only the "experts" review, and famous youtubers.. and then, days later of launch for game, if you like what you see, you can buy the game, or you can wait for a sale.

Maybe some critics don't expect the "dreams", and not the real content, in Sean Murray interviews. It's not the normal way for explain a game. Horrible marketing.

I like the game for the content, not for hype, reviews, awards, etc... I hope updates, but i'm ok with the game now.

Haha, it's called bribe.

Most of the awards for anticipation were all based on the stuff Sean kept saying was in the game. That is how that is possible.

Possible much

And to answer the question. The folks giving the anticipation awards did not play the game. Not even Sean during most of the 'actual gameplay' demonstrations based on what has been claimed and found in the data files by data miners.

How can you award a game that you haven't even tried? It's like awarding a film that you haven't seen.

All an anticipation award means: "we're looking forward to this game when we can get it".

In your analogy it would be the same as seeing trailers for the next 5 big movies that will come out Summer 2017 and giving an award based on which one you think you are most likely to go watch.

Read the awards. They were for presentation and concept. It is a good concept and they created quite the hype with their presentations.

None of the awards were for implementation.

So If I'd make a badass trailer, but my game sucks ass, I can still get over 50 awards just because of my presentation.

Pretty much. You've got a great guide on marketing and how-to right here in HelloGames and No Man's Sky (sadly).

Yes; if they give awards at shows for trailers, and you have a good trailer, you can win an award. It is kinda understood that you don't have a finished game at that point so nobody judges playability.

Advertising gives awards every year for adverts/campaigns/commercials as well. The awards have nothing to do with what the actual product is or does.
