I can’t start to wrap round my head how the completely terrible Silent Hill: Ascension has gained an Emmy.
Everyone knows that Silent Hill: Ascension is a foul “recreation” proper? I put recreation in air quotes there as a result of it is arduous to name it one, actually, when all you bought to do was vote on what cutscenes performed out. And but one way or the other, in opposition to all odds, it has gained an Emmy. Sure, the identical Emmys that give out awards to really good TV reveals versus no matter Ascension really is. The award it particularly gained is for “Excellent Innovation In Rising Media Programming” and I do not find out about you, however I do not suppose both the phrase “excellent” or “innovation” belongs wherever close to that mess of a Silent Hill recreation.
I am not really certain what innovation there even is in Ascension? The actual fact it had folks collectively enjoying a “recreation” dwell? Twitch Performs Pokemon did {that a} decade in the past, and it did not have the power to pay for higher votes that may make one final result extra seemingly both – just a bit reminder there as to how a lot of a large number Ascension’s monetisation system was, not even mentioning its season cross. In some way its Emmy win will get much more baffling although, because it seems that it isn’t the one factor to have gained the award.
The Apple Imaginative and prescient Professional mixed-reality Marvel recreation What If…? – An Immersive Story additionally gained the award, besides, the factor is, it was additionally the one different nominated piece of media. Sure, out of the 2 that have been nominated, each gained the award, however that does appear to be based mostly on the truth that it was a juried award, that means there have been solely a choose variety of folks that truly voted on it (seemingly on this case as a result of they have been each video games, roughly, so wanted individuals who really know concerning the business).
Nonetheless, Emmy or no Emmy, I would not hassle with Ascension, particularly contemplating the Silent Hill 2 remake is developing, which our personal Kelsey thought was really surprisingly good in a latest preview.
