Right, well, it's E3 somewhere in the world (LA to be exact) and that's where all the glitz and the glamour is. But what of the real future of video games, eh? What about the youngsters whose work will be wowing us all at E3 2015?
Well, Ubisoft Relfections, is taking a few of them into work after a bit of a competition. At least that what Codeworks tells us. Ubisoft Reflections is, by the way, one of Ubisoft's studios but based in North East England, even more North East England than SPOnG.
So, in a down-to-earth way, we're telling you that Ole Kristian Homelien, Justin Lim, Wei Xing Yong and Peter Adamson will join Ubisoft Relfections on a sort of work experience/sponsorship situation because they've worked bloody hard and haven't moved to Canada yet.
The fact is that, we're told, they "won their prizes at the third annual Vis (Visualisation) Awards, a competition run by Teesside University to celebrate the achievements, skill and knowledge of students studying at its School of Computing."
Giselle Stewart, general manager at Ubisoft Reflections, said: "We were very pleased that the University of Teesside invited us to sponsor these awards; we were able to spot some new creative talent to further our success as a developer of successful driving games. We were particularly excited about the calibre of students who won the internships and we hope it will be the start of an exciting career within Ubisoft for them."
Ole Kristian Homelien won the Games Programming Award, Justin Lim won the Games Design Award, Wei Xing Yong took the Character Animation prize while Peter Adamson won the Modelling Award.
Dr Derek Simpson, Dean of the School of Computing at Teeside University, said: “These internships give our students six months invaluable industry experience. It not only gives them a good foothold but also boosts the students’ CVs in a very competitive arena."
Want to try your luck next year? The Vis Awards were sponsored by Ubisoft Reflections and Codeworks, North East England's centre for digital innovation.
So, go to that link and get yourself a bloody job!
Now, back to E3 coverage in which someone important used the phrase "excited to have formed this franchise synergy moving forward" before rolling out a sequel and falling over drunk.
