BBC Newsbeat

ASTRO BOT has swept this year’s BAFTA Games Awards, and won five awards in total – including Best Best Games Award.
The 3D platform, PlayStation Mascot, also won the best animation, audio achievement, family game and game design.
Its manager Nicholas Dostit devoted the best Gong game to developers who “inspired others to join the industry.”
Meanwhile, he still wakes up deeply – a horror game that was placed on a Scottish oil platform in the 1970s – seized three night prizes.
It was a general evening in general for Sony, where Heldivers 2 won the other Big 2024 award, two awards for the best players and music.
The team’s shooter achieved a surprise success when it was released, and its makers had to race to increase the ability of the server to meet early demand.
Johann, who accepted a multi -player award, said Johan, the chief creative official of the developer Arrowhead, said that the players had contacted him to say that Helldivers 2 have reinforced them with the friends of the players 10 to 15 years ago.
“This is an honor.”

Thank God, you are here! – Cartoon comedy made by two friends of Yorkshire – won the Best British Game.
It is located in the fictional northern town of Parinsworth, which is very inspired by the developers of Will Todd and James Carpot in the town of Parinsley, south of Yorkshire.
The strange title is characterized by sound performances from the husband, as well as the actor Matt Perry.
When accepting the award, the two friends said: “We hope that this will inspire you to tell your story in your voice without a compromise.”
BAFTA Games, which was launched 21 years ago, gained a reputation that caused great disturbances.
In 2023, the survivors of vampires, a game made by a small British team, won the Sony: Ragnarok to get the Best Game Award.
Many have provided a Balatro – the poker -inspired cards game by an unknown developer, known as Lochetunk – to PIP Astro Bot for the prize this year.
However, she won the best appearance for the first time.
Actor Ben Star, who accepts the award on behalf of the developer, is close to the theater in makeup and the clown hat – a group inspired by the Jimbo game.
In the speech, he jokingly said that the developer Lochetunk was “really rich now” and urged the audience to “play more independent games … it’s the lifeline in this industry.”
The legendary composer Yuko Shimomora accepted a Fellowship in appreciation of her contribution to the games.
She may be famous for her work in the Kingdom Hearts series, from the Japanese publisher Square Enix, and remembered how she felt that she “felt surrender” in her work several times.
“The fact that I stand here is not thanks to my efforts, but for the people who supported me,” she said in the acceptance letter.
“I feel if the music I made echo with one person and touch their hearts in one way, it was worth it.”
He still wakes up to deep performance categories and supported, and the best new intellectual property has been named.
Actor Abu Bakr Salem, known for the performances at Assassin’s Creed and HBO’s House of the Dragon, gave an emotional speech as he collected the Games Prize after entertainment.
A keen player, he created his first development company, Kenzra: Zau, inspired by the sadness he felt in losing his father.
At the same time, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, who entered the party with 11 nominations, returned to the house with only one prize: artistic achievement.
