With the TGN Game of the Year Awards coming to an end, this year's Game of the Year is out.

There is no doubt that Chen Mo's "The Legend of Zelda".

In fact, there is no suspense about this result for a long time, when "The Legend of Zelda" swept the world's game media and got more than a dozen perfect scores, this year's Game of the Year was almost decided.

In this year's Game of the Year selection, the two games "Monster Hunter" and "Assassin's Creed" were also shortlisted for the Game of the Year, that is to say, Chen Mo almost gave the selected games of the Game of the Year again, which also made the title of "Best Designer of the Year" lose suspense very early.

Of course, this title of "Designer of the Year" is not awarded by the major game media, for which the selection of games is much more important than the selection of designers.

This title exists in the hearts of every player.

is like the high-voted answer from the previous domestic Q&A website: Chen Mo no longer needs the game of the year to prove himself, but the game of the year needs him to prove it.

If Chen Mo's game didn't win the Game of the Year, then people wouldn't think that Chen Mo's game was bad, but would think that there was something wrong with the selection of the Game of the Year.

The news of Game of the Year didn't cause much of a stir, but the next two news instantly caught the attention of gamers around the world.

Chen Mo was inducted into the World Game Hall of Fame.

Chen Mo appeared on the cover of Time magazine.

The World Gaming Hall of Fame is a lifetime achievement award for the worldwide gaming industry to record and make more people remember and understand groups or individuals who have made outstanding contributions to games and had a significant impact on the development of games. All of the best game designers in the world can be selected, and each of them has one or several ultra-classic games with significant influence.

Chen Mo's induction into the World Game Hall of Fame is not too surprising, after all, he was able to win the Game of the Year for three consecutive years, which is not a new achievement, but it is certainly unprecedented.

Purely talking about influence, there may be some famous designers in the past who can compare with Chen Mo, but there is really no second one like such a prolific designer.

What's more, in this era, Chen Mo has become the most dazzling one.

For players, it is a matter of time before Chen Mo enters the World Game Hall of Fame, and some people even feel that Chen Mo should have entered last year.

But the cover character of Time magazine still shocked many players.

Every year, Time magazine selects a "Man of the Year" for its cover, and its purpose is to "select the people who have the most significant impact on the news and people's lives." In the beginning, the "Person of the Year" was not an honor, but only in terms of "the most significant". It's just that later, the political meaning of this selection became stronger and stronger, and a large part of the people on the cover were politicians.

However, some people who have achieved outstanding achievements in other fields will also be considered, such as IT industry leaders, scientists who have made major breakthroughs, influential stars, outstanding athletes, and so on.

After entering the era of peace, many political tasks appeared on the influential figures of Time Magazine and gradually decreased, and due to the importance of the game industry in the parallel world, the game field was also regarded as the same level as the traditional fields such as entertainment and sports, and had a very far-reaching impact on the development of the whole world.

What made everyone pay more attention was Time Magazine's comment that Chen Mo won the Person of the Year.

On the cover of Time Magazine, Chen Mo tilted his head slightly, looked at the front left of the camera with a deep gaze, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth. This photo comes from the very popular emoji "Smile" on the Internet, but after special processing, the irrelevant background has been removed and replaced with a dark background.

A small part of his cheeks is hidden in the shadows, making his facial features look more three-dimensional and mysterious.

At the top of the screen are the four bright red letters "TIME", and on top of it is the title of "Person of the Year". On the right side of the screen, there is a short comment.

SILENT

CHEN

——

THE MAN

HO CHANGED

THE GAME

If literally translated into Chinese, it means "game-changer", but it also has another meaning, "game-changer".

Because the word "game" does not only represent video games, it can also be regarded as "all games" in a broad sense, which also implies that Chen Mo is not only changing the game industry, but also changing all aspects of the world, including people's lifestyles.

To be able to get this review on the cover of Time magazine is already a very high compliment.

And in a more detailed selection of reasons, Time magazine wrote:

"Never before in the known history of mankind have games been so deeply embedded in everyone's lives as they are today. Mobile phones, PCs, VR game pods, smart glasses, ...... While smart devices continue to change people's lifestyles, games equipped with them are becoming more and more abundant, becoming an indispensable part of people's daily life and entertainment. ”

"For many players, many games have become virtual worlds independent of reality, making our world more diverse."

"By now, the gaming industry has been highly developed, and only the best designers can satisfy the increasingly discerning gamers. The perfect virtual world experience brings people a dream world that cannot be touched by all imagination, and this bubble-like illusory but touchable reality comes from a genius mind and inexhaustible inspiration. ”

"To commemorate the great achievements of the gaming industry so far, Time Magazine Man of the Year awarded Sérent Chen."

"He, like his own name, was silent most of the time, as if immersed in a sea of his own thoughts; He was so focused that no one could guess the hidden meaning behind his silence and smile. He always makes surprising decisions or choices that, in hindsight, are full of vision. ”

"The world has recognized the game industry as the greatest game designer of our time, a genius who has always been down-to-earth and making game after game."

"And, unlike other designers, Celent is a top gamer in his own right, and in his battle against artificial intelligence, he has gained the world's attention and is revered by many players."

"He and this era are mutually successful, and we are experiencing a major transformation, just like the industrial revolution, the information revolution and other major turning points, but this transformation is carried out in a more subtle and likable way, and the game is changing our world."
