"Did You Know?" Video Puts Progress In Perspective
Usually, if a press event starts off with a video, it's a compilation of game footage set to obnoxiously loud (and bad) house music. Telltale mixed things up a bit at its San Francisco gathering last night, choosing instead to show off a series of thought-provoking facts and predictions. Even if you aren't interested in adventure games or pointing and clicking in general, you should definitely watch it.
Telltale was founded in 2004 with an eye toward episodic, digitally distributed games. The video shows that either they were incredibly smart or lucky to go down that path. Regardless, the clip highlights where technology has taken us, and where we may be headed. Better still, it's not filled with unnecessary "Buy our games now!" ad copy. Check it out below.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
