Best of 2015 Awards: Best Art Direction

December 28, 2015

Winner: Star Wars: Battlefront

Star Wars: Battlefront had a number of issues, but great art direction wasn't one of them. A ton of attention to detail was given to its character models and environments, resulting in an impressively authentic Star Wars experience. In fact, EA DICE employed a sophisticated new imaging method to photograph real film assets and place them in the game world. The results were extraordinary, and it's considered the top graphics benchmark for PCs. For those playing on console, its engine was remarkably optimized across both platforms allowing players to enjoy the stunning game with smooth frames per second.

Nominees: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Ori and the Blind Forest, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Bloodborne, Jotun
