Previous recipients of this award include, among others, the “father of the PlayStation” Ken Kutaragi, the creator of Mario and The Legend of Zelda Shigeru Miyamoto and Hironobu Sakaguchi, the author of Final Fantasy.

Miyazaki will be honored with the special CEDEC Awards, an award that has been presented by the Japanese game development organization CESA since 2008.

The head of the FromSoftware studio, as noted in CESA, develops his own approach to game design, making games with consistently high complexity and opening up new genre opportunities.

Beginning with “Demon’s Souls”, the consistently high-difficulty game design continues to fascinate fans and continues to break new ground as a genre. Their latest work, “ELDEN RING,” is a culmination of their previous work, achieving quality and volume that greatly surpasses their previous works, and has received extremely high praise from users all over the world and has become a huge hit. He has won numerous awards, and his titles have attracted attention not only from game fans but also from game creators.
from the CESA statement
The winners of the CEDEC Awards 2022 should be awarded at the end of August. The award will also be given out in several categories, including for game design, sound and visual style of games.

In 2021, Mark Cerny, PlayStation Console Architect, received a special CEDEC Awards .
 
He deserves it but not for Elden Ring since that was mediocre.

Yes, we get it. You are very cool. Elden Ring is a new, popular, and critically-acclaimed game that is loved the vast majority of the gaming community, but mediocre, for sure. You didn't let those unwashed masses tell you what a good game is! You already know! Good on you for being a cut above everyone else. Gaming would have been doomed if we were all brainwashed into worshiping Elden Ring. You and a handful of true gamers saw its mediocrity. Thank you for showing everyone that Elden Ring is indeed, mediocre.

Hopefully when they give this award to Miyazaki, they make sure to clarify that he is receiving this prestigious award despite the mediocrity that is Elden Ring.

As it should. Elden Ring simply put fears in most of devs and simply showed that artistic vision is above everything. Not to mention its open world.

Sekiro is the standout and mixes it up a little more with the parry focus.

Of the Souls clones Bloodborne is still the king.
In a way most developers even talented ones start to become a bit too repetitive over time, only a select few like Miyamoto could reinvent the wheel every time.

Wow that's a really good news. Does anyone outside Japan won the award before? Or is it Japan only?

I think it would be funny if when they go to present the award to him, they just keep doing circle strafe around him as he tries to grab the award.

see how he likes it.

Yeah, everyone who doesn't worship your idols is an edgy 12 years old, it's definitely works like that.

But that's the thing man. I'm not that familiar with this guy who won other than he directed Elden Ring and de rest before. Can't spell his name when asked for. So Idol? Hmmm... Dont mistake me for a hardcore fan that follows him on social media.

Worshipping my idol 🤣

And if I myself can put over 550 hours in a game and still keep me intrigued and curious about what's around the corner PLUS makes me drop GT7 which launched not even a week later. Then yeah

And people saying they're going to put you on ignore has less to do with your statement but more with what makes you think and therefore post "overrated" because I'm sure as fuck you knew posting that in such a manner would grant you reactions as above.

You knew it would work like that.

So. 18 then?
