Baldur's Gate 3's Neil Newbon isn't sure about a mocap Game Award, but he's got a great alternative
Clair Obsur: Expedition 33 is perhaps the most exciting gaming success story since Baldur's Gate 3. Brought to vibrant life by a small, double-A developer with a true vision and knack for storytelling, it may not have the same scope as Larian's epic, but Sandfall has etched itself into many a history book - including the Game Awards'. The most decorated RPG yet, it earned three nominees in the performance category: Ben Starr, eventual winner Jennifer English, and Charlie Cox, who implored fans to recognize his motion capture actor, Maxence Cazorla, instead. Cox's comments have bred the question of whether the Game Awards needs its own motion capture category. I ask Baldur's Gate 3 and Resident Evil alumni, Neil Newbon, for his take.
