I would like to use this thread to post documentaries which I watched in the past couple weeks.
First I would like to start with Dartigan who finds sins in Videogames in a very funny way.
A really interesting video about one of my favorite franchises from Rockstar Games. I hope there will be a new Midnight Club in the next following years, maybe after GTA VI.
Watch this one it was excellent, watched it all and you see how Obsidian managed to create a great new IP
"Follow Obsidian Entertainment’s journey as they develop Pillars of Eternity, the fan-funded hit that helped propel the company out of dire straits.
Watch as developers such as Josh Sawyer (Game Director), Adam Brennecke (Executive Producer and Lead Programmer), and Feargus Urquhart (CEO) pull back the curtain on the Pillars of Eternity development and show you the highs and lows of creating a highly anticipated game."
Double Fine Adventure is great. It’s LONG. Like 30 hours or something, but it is at least as entertaining as Broken Age and is an excellent insight into what happens when plans to make a small adventure game get swamped by cash and attention and everything starts breaking very publically. And it doesn’t shy away from difficult areas either - it’s pretty clear that Tim Schaeffer gets totally overwhelmed and unfocused at places, and various parts of the project really fall apart. I always liked DF but after watching this HUGELY entertaining and often uncomfortable doc I really love and respect them.
If like me you are not a big RPG fan, this video from Noclip talking about the history of Bethesda is well worth a look. I might actually give Fallout 3 a go!
With hindsight this video almost looks like Bethesda chronicling their pre MS activity for the games history books. It also shows how MS shaped their company by encouraging Morrowind onto the OG Xbox.
Love this thread! I saw a good doc. awhile ago called Second Skin. It was about the life in MMO gamers. Right at the peak of WOW. Group of people waiting for the expansion release, then racing to max out your lvl for 48 hrs lol! Its a good one and a look back goe gaming was in 2008.
