Deadly Premonition

…means of invoking the power of nightmares.

There are other crossovers: Agent York, much like Agent Cooper in Twin Peaks, regularly monologues to an unseen character – in the show, Diane; in the game, Zach. While Zach is seemingly posited as an invisible friend of Agent York, it becomes clear that Zach is in fact a stand-in for the player themselves. This startling breaking of the Fourth Wall is fascinating to Mary Goodden at God is a Geek, who discusses the intriguing shift in perception this role lends the gaming experience, particularly in light of one of the game’s…

Assassin’s Creed III

…of tree-jumping in an environment that was primed for movement and discovery. For Nick Cowen at the Guardian, AC3’s oft-decried tutorial sequences seemed to provide a perfect introduction to the frontier:

Depending on how quickly one acclimatizes, one may spend a half hour or so scaling trees and looking for the next hand hold. Once players realize the frontier environments are large free-running playgrounds, they’ll be running along logs, kicking off boulders and leaping from tree to tree in no time. The fact that the developers have made this progression feel so intuitive is astounding.

This Month in Videogame Vlogging: March 2024

…found a gem from, say, January that we missed, go ahead and submit it. We’ll check it out.

Please no videos longer than four hours long. If a prospective video submission is longer than four hours long it cannot be about Dark Souls.

Please no stream VODs, recorded lectures or seminars, general-topic developer interviews, lore videos, or news roundup podcasts.

These suggestions are subject to change at our discretion. (and also like, break the rules whenever)

…also profoundly nostalgic. In some ways that are just sentimental and retrograde but in some ways that sometimes seem a bit more sinister and reactionary. I guess people like Robert Topinka have talked about there’s a degree of nostalgia in all right politics and aesthetics, and where some of that crosses over with aspects of Cyberpunk and Vaporwave and these kind of engagements with outmoded but at the time futuristic technological aesthetics that allow people to sort of pine for a time before PC culture notionally ruined everything and civil rights ruined everything. But they’re also I suppose more reflexive…

…things you shouldn’t be able to do. It’s about breaking the rules, and thus doesn’t do very well when it’s forced to strictly abide by them.

For this reason, magic systems in games have a tendency to become bland and boring, placing all of their hope for luster or wonder in whatever spectacular visual effects accompany them. You do not gain a feeling of wonder or mystery from Elika’s ability to rescue the Prince, or from Morrigan flinging fireballs, or even from Yuna’s summoning magic. You always know exactly how these things are going to work.

…whose videos – despite my best intentions – have still made up the bulk of my recommendations in this column so far.

At Critical Distance, we aim to “accommodate as many different perspectives and unique voices as we can”. While I’ve been working to find vloggers whose videos are less likely to be promoted by the algorithm (which, as we know, tends to amplify videos that already have lots of views), watching videos is a time-consuming process and there is only so much of it that I have to give to this. So to that end please do get…

The Building Phase

Two interesting and different videos this month dwell on less-considered contingencies of game design.

The Future of Black Storytelling in VR Spaces – Spawn on Me (Part 1 (21:26)) & (Part 2 (28:38))
Kahlief Adams chats to CRUX co-founder Lauren Ruffin about building community, fighting cultural erasure, running a co-operative model company, and establishing and supporting black creators and voices in VR development. (Autocaptions)

On Coping

Even though there’ve been two (!) Screen Therapy picks already in this roundup, our appetite for help, guidance and solace during these difficult and lonely times is bottomless. Here are a few more videos that I feel speak, however tangentially, to this present moment.
