As you all know I'm not big on gaming. It never was a hobby, nor was it ever entertaining for me. The most I've ever had fun playing growing up was Pac-Man or Duck Hunt. LOL. But this has got to be the best gaming trailer I have ever seen to date, and I have seen many.
Quantic Dream, the maker of this amazing piece of work released the following video last night as you were probably sleeping. LOL. I didn't even know about it, until I saw it in my inbox from Ryan (my partner) this morning.
The company has been hush, hush ever since their successful game, Heavy Rain was released, and gamers everywhere have been curious to know what they've been up to. And OMG, even though this is just a tech demo, it clearly shows that this company has the ability to create something so stunning and emotionally riveting at the same time. The video was only meant to show off the company's technological advancement, but now everyone is hoping they would consider making this into a game.
KARA has truly touched my heart, and now, millions more. View it here...
You know I couldn't leave the year without saying a little something about the gaming community. I don't understand much of it, but one thing I do know, my partner, Ryan loves it.
Ryan doesn't know this, but when he gets around to reading this he will be surprised. My intention was to get him a Playstation 3 for his birthday and it didn't happen, not because I didn't want to get it for him, but because - I don't know, call it a sign from God or whatever. But there was only one in the store when I went to purchase it, and and it was an "open box". Meaning, someone had returned it at one point.
I told the clerk I would go ahead and take it if everything was in there, and he assured me it did. So when I went to pay for it up at the front desk I told them I wanted to take a look inside, and sure enough there was a game missing. There was supposed to have been two games with the bundle.
So I was stuck with the decision of either purchasing it as it was, going to another store and buying it, or simply forgetting about it. I chose the latter, and simply never bought it.
The reason I never did, was because Ryan and I will be reaching a milestone in the new year and it's something I will share with you in a later post, but suffice it to say - it is definitely for the best.
As I mentioned earlier, I don't get the gaming community much, but my partner Ryan loves it, and if he loves it, then I support him. I grew up in a world of Atari and the original Nintendo, whereas he grew up in the world of Xbox and Playstations 1, 2 and 3. I was used to games like Centipede, Donkey Kong, and Pac-man. When I played the original Resident Evil on Playstation One, it terrified me. LOL.
In either case, here's an amazing tribute to the 2011 gaming world, in under 2 minutes.
From YouTube description:
2011 has been a watershed year for gaming in almost every way. With an overabundance of terrific AAA titles and creative low-budget indies, developers this year boldly took the medium into new territory. This is a salute to their work, and all the terrific interactive experiences we had in 2011.
