So Astrobot gives me an opportunity to share a presentation I did at Gamescom for some developers a few weeks back. This is where the industry is ; and where it needs to go. Another year of peril. #gamedev #gamescom2024 #gamedevelopment tinyurl.com/2kkye42e
An ode to my favorite machine, not just because of the games but because for the first time it put professional tools into ever owners hands - linkedin.com/posts/blue-moo…
If you've not listened to this podcast with the amazing Peter Moore courtesy of @Chris_Dring I suggest you do. Heaps of nostalgia but a reminder how great the 360 era was. He does underplay how BAD the PS3 really was at launch (demos were always 360 as the PS3 didn't work!). 😂
“I took on the role of Ken Kutaragi and attacked what I thought the weaknesses of Microsoft and Xbox 360 and hard drive capabilities and all the price points… everything that you do in a wargaming environment. And I won, which shouldn't have happened." thegamebusiness.com/p/when-xbox-to…
Proud to say I'll be judging at @DevGAMM this year. For me this is where the new talent that is learning to work within constraints really shine, excited to be seeing the work being done. Submissions are free and open until September 1. Don’t miss out: devgamm.com/awards2025/
#bbcfootball Gonna have to check that medal award again, looked like it could've been offside. WHO'S CHECKING?!??!
See we DO love the police when they protect and serve. LA's finest.
I'm okay with our tax dollars being used this way.
#BBCFootball Mostly still the Real team that was played off the park by Liverpool and Arsenal in the CL … lot of rebuilding for Alonso.
#PorfolioDay When I understood very early on in my career that potentially art wasn't the path of choice for me.
Spring, some 32 years ago, I spent a few weeks post Microcosm doing a demo for Scavenger 4 - which would eventually be "Novastorm". Locked up in Century Buildings, Liverpool with about eight SGI's and Soft Image I put this together along with a pitch. youtu.be/ipQ9DH17NHk
Absolutely barnstorming. Better than ever arguably.
No one expected Oasis to sound this good! HQ audio of Slide Away paired with 4k footage from castnoshadow on instagram. Beautiful.
Totally astounding.
A great time lapse video of the ship being built for James Cameron's TITANIC (1997).
The last ten years for Xbox has been defined by a persistent failure to deliver thegamebusiness.com/p/the-xbox-we-…
Genuinely the best video game podcast there is. Listen, sign up!
Our guests divide pretty evenly between those who have worked on dozens of #videogames and those who've made one or two🏆big ones. Sometimes they're both! podfollow.com/thefourthcurta…
FBC: Firebreak launches in 24 hours. Are you ready to clean house? #FBCFirebreak
Like some of our guests, @remiracine's #videogame gameography is daunting in its length and breadth - he's done it all! 📈podfollow.com/thefourthcurta…
This amazing documentary about the collapse of Imagine has been released on the BBC Archives. A fascinating watch . . and effectively the birth of Psygnosis. youtube.com/watch?v=buuUZF…
