‘It’s a great artstyle, you must save lots of money’
‘Yeah when we sat down with the art director we thought about how little animation and illustration we could get away with. The confusion brought about by not knowing who’s speaking was a major pillar’
Right! I get like, the bar for 3D performance capture is impossibly high now (e.g. Life is Strange’s production values look rough next to Dark Pictures Anthology let alone Naughty Dog) but there is a existing craft and market for illustrated interactive stories they’re called visual novels. Play any of them and you can fix so many things wrong with your TV game
Why is this allowed
Seriously what the fuck is this it looks like an announcer should be reading off a list of possible side effects right when the Crime Drama kicks in
prestige tv, baby
These actors are all so utterly charmless and clean, they do not look like they’d ever interact in real life or share the screen on a project with, like, an actual casting director or some shit
…this is so fucking bad ass…
THIS IS SO FUCKING BAD ASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Ah, the French.
I am going to look up Game BAFTA for Originality. Don’t try and stop me even though this may be the end for me, this may be what finally does me in.
The game’s art director looks like a guy who gets his head blown off 2 panels after making his debut in some 2,000 A.D. strip.
This staff member is good, dropping Tiny Toons as a treasured gem is the kinda stuff that wins me over, it’s the kinda thing that makes you think you’re either pretty chill or a real fuckin’ sickie, shame you’re working on this game, May, hope the next one goes better for you.
There was only one Game BAFTA for Originality and it went to Sing Star. Years later it was renamed the Original Property Award. Most of the games that wont that award were alright. I guess today wasn’t the end after all…
Fuck! I was just thinking this had the inscrutable feeling of Quantic Dream’s popularity
fuck quantic dream, but how do you go from working on those to pitching this motion comic as a huge step forward in interactive storytelling deeply influenced by breaking bad??
I guess pitching to a skeptical Game Pass producer?
I know QD was a labor nightmare so they might have left and started this studio undercapitalized
everything in that video today just came off as incredibly condescending, even when i try and step back and think who it’s actually targeted at.
seeing those two sad game people on a couch makes me wonder if maybe Deck Nine can make a not-season 3 of Undone after making a not-season 7 of The Expanse.
The other night I pretended I was Turkish and got some cheap Game Pass and that means I’ll be able to play As Dusk Falls on DAY ONE and you better believe I’m going to fuckin’ rage if they aren’t carrying on Quantic Dream’s legacy of playable characters who piss for some reason
They could at least like rotoscope them by hand 
if you want…to destrooyyy my sweaterrr (woah oh oh) hold this thread…as I walk awayyyy. (As I walk awayaya) watch me unravel, I’ll sooooon be naked (lying on the floor) lying on the floor, I’ve cooommme Undoneeeeee (coming to Amazon Prime Video)
i like of liked the art style to the dusk game just bc it made me imagine like knockoff straight to dvd versions of those rotoscoped richard linklater movies, like you buy something without looking too hard and go home and then discover you now own a copy of A Waking Scanner
the Agent 64 game looks too on the nose for me but i did like how they show a death animation clipping through a wall in the first few seconds of footage. that’s right, rub their noses in it
anyway I thought the Alec Robbins game actually looked decent for like, a manic, Rick and Morty adjacent, also-ran sunset overdrive, and for better or worse now I know why
Just realised the FF7 25th anniversary Showcase and the Dragons Dogma 10th anniversary showcase are happening at the same time.
lmao
