Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Has The Most Nominations At The Dice Awards
11.01.2024 - 18:23 / gameranx.com / Peter Parker
We know that “winning lots of awards” isn’t exactly a “critical game development goal” when creating a video game. After all, it’s impossible to know what people will think of your title after you make it, even if you’ve spent years working on it, and even if you DO get nominated, it’s not a guarantee you’ll win. That last part was personified by Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 over the last month or so. Despite being one of the best games of 2023 by a large margin and being nominated for tons of awards across multiple sites and shows, it hasn’t exactly been “raking them in.”
For example, when it was nominated eight times by The Game Awards, it won exactly zero awards. Many were stunned by that, especially on the voice acting side, as Yuri Lowenthal gave a truly award-winning performance as Peter Parker in the sequel. And while it did clean up at The Sony Awards, that was more of a “homer win” due to the other nominees and the fact that it was entirely fan-voted.
However, things could change via The DICE Awards. Why? The beloved award outlet has nominated Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 for nine different awards, as revealed by VGC. That makes it the most-nominated game at the show. The closest ones to it have seven or six nominations. Now, yes, that still doesn’t mean it’ll win any awards, but it’s a start!
If you’re curious about the categories it was nominated in, that would be Outstanding Achievement in Animation, Outstanding Achievement in Art Direction, Outstanding Achievement in Character, Outstanding Achievement in Original Music Composition, Outstanding Achievement in Audio Design, Outstanding Technical Achievement, Action Game of the Year, Outstanding Achievement in Game Direction, and, of course, Game of the Year.
It’s an interesting selection of categories to be a part of, and it’s just as interesting what they weren’t nominated for. For example, they were nominated for the character of Miles Morales but not the game’s story. This would seem to reflect certain feelings about the game, where it had a good story, but it took a while to get to the parts that most people wanted to see and then felt rushed once they got there.
As for what’s next for the Spider-Men and the team at Insomniac Games, they’re working on multiple titles right now, including one for Wolverine and possibly a spinoff game featuring Venom! Plus, many people hope that DLC for the team’s latest title will be announced soon.

Jenna Ortega’s fandom has their work cut out for them with Miller’s Girl
No matter how often the argument resurfaces, we aren’t really running out of movie stars — especially not as far as fandom is concerned. There are still plenty of actors out there with devotees who eagerly track their faves from project to project. Jenna Ortega has built that kind of following, from her child-actor phase as a Disney TV stalwart to playing young Jane on Jane the Virgin, the title role in Netflix’s Wednesday, and one of the new crop of knife-fodder-to-be in the Scream reboot series. Her fans have been vocal about the excitement of seeing her take on more adult, more independent, and more ambitious roles. But they’re going to have an interesting time figuring out how to swallow her new movie, Miller’s Girl.

Masters of the Air delivers the best WWII action in a generation
Fans of World War II movies, and of the European air war in particular, may recall the 1990 film Memphis Belle, which told a highly fictionalized story of the first B-17 bomber crew to complete its 25-mission tour of duty over Europe. While that film got most of the technical aspects of air combat right, it was a swing and a miss when it came to its writing. Even with a young and lovable Sean Astin manning the ball turret, that didn’t stop producers from making crooner Harry Connick Jr. hum a few bars from the tail gun. Overall it was a mixed bag, relying on black-and-white stock footage and especially heavy-handed performances from David Strathairn and John Lithgow to get its point across.
