MATT CHAT - Nostalgia

Very interesting interviews.

Soo sad that Sex, Drugs & Rock n Roll never saw the light of day, looks like it would have been his masterpiece, kind of like his Frankenstein.

Very grounded of him to realise though that the time has passed and it would not hold up if released today, although the concept would hold up I think.

Watching both those videos does make you realise how important British development has been to gaming in general.

Also, he makes a good point about how much has changed regarding getting a publishing deal too and developers not going outside their comfort zone, Sensible Software released many different games, true masters of their craft.

Ocean were an AMAZING publisher, they make E.A look like ****.

If your interested in British games development, you find this "History of Mastertronic" piece interesting if not read it already.

Basically MATT CHAT talks about the games of the past, how they worked... Who they influenced.. What happened to the company and so on. Sometimes he gets the developers in an interview and how things have changed, what the developer is doing now and again so on.

Ah John Romero still the designer of one of the best multiplayer fps maps ever created.

If only the two Johns were to design a game together. Carmack's technology and Romero's design. Despite Q3A id never really have been the same since Romero left.
