Outstanding Achievement in Art Direction
Outstanding Achievement in Animation
There are some notable differences when comparing the DICE Awards to The Game Awards. WhereasHogwarts Legacywas snubbed by The Game Awards, it’s nominated for two DICE awards - Outstanding Technical Achievement and Outstanding Achievement in Art Direction. However, it seems that Capcom’sResident Evil 4remake has been snubbed by DICE, whereas it was nominated for multiple awards at The Game Awards.
It’s unclear whyResident Evil 4wasn’t nominated for any DICE awards. One would think it may be due to a no-remake rule or something, but that theory goes out the window because theDead Spaceremakeis nominated for Action Game of the Year. Whatever the case may be, fans will find out on February 15 which games win which awards, and ifSpider-Man 2is able to makeup for its under-performance at The Game Awards 2023.
