Facebook's Oculus, EA and Respawn Win Game Industry's First Oscar for 'Colette' Documentary Short

Facebook just won its first Oscar. From a report: "Colette," from the social giant's Oculus Studios and EA's Respawn Entertainment game studio, picked up the trophy for documentary short subject Sunday at the 93rd Academy Awards. It's also the first project from the game industry to win an Oscar. The 25-minute film follows former French Resistance member Colette Marin-Catherine as she travels to Germany for the first time in 74 years. "Colette" was created for the World War II-set VR video game "Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond." "Colette" beat out the other contenders on the category: "A Concerto Is a Conversation," from Ben Proudfoot and Kris Bowers; "Do Not Split," from Anders Hammer and Charlotte Cook; "Hunger Ward," from Skye Fitzgerald and Michael Scheuerman; and "A Love Song for Latasha," from Sophia Nahli Allison and Janice Duncan.

Self-awarding organized cri mme.

And now we know why the "Is college worth the money" discussion went the way it did.

Here's the thing. History is interesting. History is necessary. And with mediums like video games and VR history can be fun.

History might be a necessary thing to teach, but do not say that it is overall interesting or engaging.
Also, they keep trying to make edutainment games, and keep going absolutely no where. No one wants to play a boring game about a bunch of dead people for fun.

I was bored stiff after 5 minutes.

Bought more like it

[DarkRookie2]

Nothing of any value isn't made at Faceboo, EA hasn't put out a good game since ME1 and hasn't made one in literal decades.

Re:

[Ostracus]

Well, except this is about a documentary, not a game. Very big difference.

Re:

[DarkRookie2]

Huh? I know. It was an Oscar. You can still buy those. There has been a lot of movies that have won Best Picture, which shouldn't have.

Re:

progressive, socialist, communist governments.

Three different style you kinda roled into one.

Big centralized governments divide people, create classes, foment hatred towards one group or another, disarm citizens, micromanage everything, do things in the name of the "greater good", use every crisis (including ones they manufacture) as excuses to move their agenda forward, and are full of corruption and secrecy.

1. People divide people
2. This isn't Gov. This is the rich
3. Again, the same. This isn't Gov. This is the rich
4. Like we need firearms.You can make much deadlier things with what you can buy at Wal-Mart and Home Depot. Let them try and coordinate with the system DDOS to fucking hell. You think you will be able to win against the Gov with your guns. You are a fucking idiot. They have more and they are a lot bigger.
5. Huh.
6. The what is a Gov is for. Ge

Ah, Slashdot commenters, you never fail to entertain me with your idiotic and off-base assessment of where the corruption lies. You supported Trump for the past 4 years, you have no room to talk.
