GLITTERING PRIZES Rebellion’s accolades
Rebellion can definitely call itself it an award-winning developer. 2017 saw the company net two TIGA (The Independent Game Developers’ Association) awards for Best Independent Studio (Large), and Best Visual Design for Sniper Elite 4 – and a nomination for Best Studio in this year’s Golden Joysticks. The Sniper Elite series has gained many accolades, receiving TIGA awards in 2012 and 2013. Judge Dredd: Dredd Vs Death scooped the TIGA Award for Best Game in 2003 and a BAFTA nomination.
Alien Vs Predator found itself the recipient of no less than three Jaguar Game of the Year awards in 1994 – from Game Informer, Game Players and Videogames, as well as Gamefan’s Best Jaguar Action/adventure Game – and found a place in Retro Gamer’s Perfect Ten Jaguar Games (way back in issue 26). The PC follow-up won the Develop Award in 1999 for Best Computer Programming, and two BAFTA nominations. (The 2010 remaster was Developnominated for Best Use Of A Licence or IP).
Looking to the future, forthcoming shooter Strange Brigade (pictured here) picked up Gamesradar+’s Best of E3 2017 and Official Playstation Magazine’s Best of British 2018, along with three other Best of E3 nominations for its showing at the annual event.
