wow - not sure what that geezer was on about that walls ice cream thing! but i think id just like to say ....... WORD!
i generally feel the same way... i hate most videogames... i only really like a few.... , i'm desperate for interactive animation on par with The Wire, or even something like Heroes (i use interactive animation there for a reason)... if you attach the word game on to something... it generally signifies this is going to be about winning or losing something and its going to be fun god damnit! ................ great ...... again?
Well, episodal is one route....
But where is gamings equivalent of the 2 hour film? .... id like to say Full Throttle.. & Grim Fandango.... classic story telling... but they're out dated and belong to a certain generation.
They've got the right idea... its kind of like a film production model... much like Quantic Dreams' Heavy Rain.
.. I guess its up to the new.. young blood generation of designers/artists out there who grew up alongside the medium in their living rooms.
Hello Ary,
After reading your message on Randy Smith's blog I became very interested in your dissertation. If at all possible I'd very much like to read your dissertation, as any information on that particular subject matter greatly interests me. I became interested in the psychological aspects of gaming quite a while ago (human behaviour is intriguing to me, as an AI programmer) and wold like to read a current update (for me, that is ^^) to what I read in college.
Sincerely,
If games and movies don't develop some mutual respect, all we can expect are films that are really bad action games and games that are really bad films, says Steven Poole.
