W tym odcinku naszym gościem jest YouTuber, który w czasach świetności generacji PS360 nie brał jeńców w kwestii krytyki mainstreamowych produkcji – twórca serii Chranie i Super Chranie, a także plebiscytu Gra Do Dupy 200X.Rozmawiamy między innymi o tym, czy gry Ubisoftu są w ogóle potrzebne, jakie produkcje z pokazu Xboxa wzbudziły w nas najwięcej emocji oraz o tym, jak to jest dołączyć do grona posiadaczy drugiego Switcha (dobrze?). Nie zabrakło przy tej okazji również odrobiny Steam Deckowej propagandy. W sekcji recenzji – 6 gier: od mainstreamowych nowości pokroju Battlefielda 6, przez niszową konwersję Quake'a prosto z Brazylii, aż po klasyczka z '97, którego nazwa nigdy oficjalnie nie została potwierdzona jako skrótowiec słów „Murder, Death, Kill” Zapraszamy do odsłuchu! Podziękowania dla Patronów za wsparcie, a najbardziej dla: Op1ekun, Jan Jagieła, Janomin, Paweł G., Uki, Mateusz „Kaduk” Kadukowski (Kadukowo), Kosmaty Dziadu (8biters), Pierek, Sebastian (Gry Starego Boomera), Thomas Voland (Voland's Reality).

In 2010, Ninja Theory released Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, a post-apocalyptic reimagining of the Chinese epic Journey to the West. We trace Tameem Antoniades' turbulent path from Kung Fu Chaos and Heavenly Sword to founding Ninja Theory and building Enslaved on a shoestring budget. The episode highlights the extraordinary creative lineup—Andy Serkis shaping Monkey, Alex Garland embedding with the team as co-designer, and Nitin Sawhney composing its score. Our conversation explores its lush environments, groundbreaking performance capture, and the dynamic between Monkey and Trip that critics compared to ICO and Prince of Persia. While sales fell short of expectations, expansions like Pigsy's Perfect 10 and cult acclaim cemented its legacy. Join us as we climb, fight, and journey west through Enslaved on today's trip down Memory Card Lane.Read transcript

Suite du premier opus salué par la critique, Hellblade 2 est scruté par l'équipe de Gamer & Geek ! Que vaut-il vraiment une fois le "train de la hype" passé ? Est-il le plus beau jeu actuel ? S'agit-il du meilleur jeu "first-party" Xbox ? Quel avenir pour la licence et pour le studio Ninja Theory (DmC, Hellblade, Enslaved, Heavenly Sword) qui fait désormais partie des Xbox Game Studios de Microsoft ?Tous ces points (et bien d'autres) sont abordés par l'équipe Gamer & Geek composée de Stéphane, Julien, Mickaël et Damien dans cette émission dédiée !

In 2002 she left journalism to write video games, soon earning a BAFTA nomination for her work on Heavenly Sword.In 2013 she wrote the award-winning reboot of Tomb Raider, then its sequel, Rise of the Tomb Raider, for which she won the Outstanding Achievement in Videogame Writing award from the Writers Guild of America. My guest has also written comics for DC, Dark Horse, and Marvel, and her film and TV projects include collaborations with Film 4, and the Henson Company. As well as being the first woman to write a Fighting Fantasy novel, she has co-authored Campaigns & Companions: The Complete Roleplaying Guide for Pets.

Bevor wir uns auf die heutige und nagelneue PC Games Podcast-Folge fokussieren, noch ein kurzes Update von unserer Seite zum zuletzt veröffentlichten und gelöschten Podcast: Es gab aufgrund unseres Hosts ein sehr nerviges Audio-Problem mit der Episode Numero 88. Wir haben das gefixt und die reparierte Folge neu produziert & hochgeladen. Wer also bisher unser unterhaltsames Gespräch zur Switch 2 - unser Moderator Maci Naeem Cheema unterhält sich mit den beiden Gründungsmitgliedern des Nintendo-Podcasts, Lukas Schmid und Johannes Gehrling, ausgiebig über die Switch 2 und die sich langsam entfaltenden Pläne von Nintendo -, der kann sie jetzt nachholen. Wir wünschen euch viel Spaß und bitten nochmals um Entschuldigung.Jetzt aber zur neuen Folge: In Folge 89 fokussieren wir uns voll und ganz auf das audiovisuelle Meisterwerk Hellblade 2: Senua's Saga von Xbox und Ninja Theory (Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, Heavenly Sword, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice). Dabei geht es natürlich viel um die großen Stärken des Action-Adventures, aber auch darum, warum trotz dessen möglicherweise ein Flop folgt - und was Xbox dafür kann.Wir wünschen viel Spaß mit der Ausgabe und verweisen ein weiteres Mal auf unseren bevorstehenden Community-Podcast. Haut rein und bleibt gesund!

Episode Notes We were so incredibly pleased to be joined by Gabrielle Kent and Rhianna Pratchett, the co-authors of this new book in the Discworld library. Tiffany's story is one of our favorites, and having both more Tiffany and more witch stuff is just the best. Tiffany Aching's Guide to Being a Witch would make a great holiday present! We're not sure yet of a US release date, so consider buying it directly from The Discworld Emporium or Discworld.com (and if other things just sort of happen to fall into your shopping basket... well, blame the Feegles). If you want to check out the Mythical Creatures series Rhianna mentioned, keep an eye on the BBC Radio Four site as well as BBC Sounds. It looks like it starts airing December 18! Gabrielle Kent is the author of the Alfie Bloom and Knights and Bikes series. She collaborated on the Rani Reports series with her husband as Gabrielle and Satish Shewhorak. Gabrielle lives in the North East of England. She grew up in the 1980's drawing castles and dragons, reading comics, and playing videogames. In the summers, she ran wild with her brothers and cousins on her Granny's farm in Galway. Her first job was as a video-game artist working on games for PC, Playstation and XBox. She spent sixteen years as a university lecturer teaching students how to make videogames, and ran and hosted various games and animation festivals along the way. She has always loved exploring castles and in 2006 she visited Castle Coch in Wales. As she looked at a carving of The Fates over one of the fireplaces, an idea for a story crept into her head. When she got home she started typing the story of Alfie Bloom, the boy who inherited a castle and has written many more books since. Rhianna Pratchett has been a professional writer for several years. Having written numerous features and columns on games, movies and books and originally cutting her journalistic teeth on PC Zone magazine and The Guardian newspaper, Rhianna moved into script writing and narrative design in 2002. In 2007 her work on Heavenly Sword was nominated for a BAFTA and a year later she won a Writers' Guild of Great Britain 'Best Videogame Script' award for Overlord. Alongside writing for videogames, she has also authored the Tomb Raider: The Beginning comics with Dark Horse and the 6-part Mirror's Edge miniseries with DC Comics and several of her own short stories. Rhianna has contributed to various books on games narrative including Professional Techniques for Video Game Writing (Edited by: Wendy Despain) and Game Writing: Narrative Skills for Videogames (Edited by: Chris Bateman). She also works with the IGDA Writers' Special Interest Group, the Writers' Guild of Great Britain and BAFTA Games to help improve games narrative and the lot of games writers everywhere. Rhianna currently lives in London, with a couple of neurotic tabbies. True to British form, she drinks a lot of tea.

Welcome to the Best Games Ever show Episode 52: the best game with a ginger protagonist. Cal Kestis of Star Wars: Jedi Survivor is just the latest in a long line of Gaming Redheads, an esteemed group that includes such celebrated characters as Official Femshep, Joanna Dark, and what's-her-face out of Heavenly Sword. And it makes me swell with pride to see this proud tradition continuing. Listen. I'm not even a proper ginger, but my beard has the reddish hue of muddled European stock, and I look a bit auburn with edge lighting, so I think that basically makes me part of the ginger community. Therefore I can confidently say that growing up ginger, especially in the UK, is a mixed bag. As prejudices go, it's a fairly innocuous one to be at the receiving end of: mostly just daft banter, nothing particularly harrowing or sinister. But you are relentlessly considered fair game. Barely a day goes by where you don't hear a joke about gingers on the TV. It's a feature of your genetics that marks you out for endless ribbing and bullying, but it so rarely tips over into anything more sinister that it feels almost petty to complain about it. It's not remotely like living as part of a minority that experiences real prejudice, racism, or persecution. And so, the Ginger Experience is sort of like living with a permanently stuck sneeze: a source of perennial bother that you can't do anything about. Where we are endowed with enormous privilege, though, is in representation in the media. Loads of the coolest people alive are gingers. Bryce Dallas Howard, Conan O'Brien, Shirley Manson, Michael friggin' Fassbender? The list is endless. Nicole Kidman, there's another one. Damien Lewis. Ed, er, Ed Sheeran. Um. Ignore that one, we're not claiming him. The point is, gingers do pretty well in the media, and enjoy much more positive representation than plenty of other minority groups. This holds double true for the world of video games, where you can't swing a sporran without smacking a dozen ginger protagonists. There are more ginger video game characters than there are people in Wales. Probably. I haven't done the numbers. For a group that makes up less than two percent of the global population, we do extraordinarily well at getting ourselves on screen. But which is the best game with a Ginger protagonist? Our panellists, as we've discussed, have a bounty of options for this one. But which redheaded games stand above the rest? And how exactly is everyone interpreting the word "ginger"? Who, out of Kelsey, Connor, and Tom, is going to be this week's biggest smart-arse? In order to find out, you need to watch or listen to this podcast here.

Pamięć bywa podstępna - wspomnienia o niezliczonych godzinach spędzonych na przemierzaniu kolejnych plansz "Super Mario Bros." bledną, kiedy po latach ponownie podejmuje się próbę odnalezienia księżniczki; a "Tekken 3" albo "Tenchu" zapisane w głowach jako szczyt osiągnięć w dziedzinie grafiki wyglądają dziwnie brzydko. Czy warto wracać do gier sprzed lat i mierzyć się z nostalgią? O tym rozmawiamy w kolejnym odcinku podcastu Nightslime.Rozmawiamy o klasykach z konsol Nintendo; o relaksacyjnym budowaniu osad w "Falloucie 4"; o tym, że "Contra" opiera się upływowi czasu i nadal jest zaskakująco miodną grą; o szoku, jakim było pierwsze zetknięcie z "Heavenly Sword" na Playstation 3 i "Gears of War" na Xboksie; o tym, że odświeżone wersje gier sprzed lat potrafią przywrócić ich dawny blask; a także o odchodzeniu od stawiania na ciągłe podnoszenie poprzeczki od strony graficznej i celowym tworzeniu prostszych, rozpikselowanych gier pokroju "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge" albo "Minecrafta".Patronami odcinka są:Paweł Jaksik, Jakub Kraszewski, Sebastian Wojtasik-------------------------------------Możesz nas wesprzeć na https://patronite.pl/Nightslime

Let's rock, baby! Season 6 of Video Gameography gets stylish as we examine the Devil May Cry series! Over the next few weeks, we'll be covering the history and lore of Capcom's premiere action franchise. Today we examine the franchise's boldest, most divisive, but arguably strongest entry yet in DmC Devil May Cry. Desiring to shake up the series, Capcom turned to British studio Ninja Theory to reboot and reimagine Devil May Cry. Encouraged by the publisher to be as wildly creative as possible, the team behind Heavenly Sword and Enslaved: Odyssey to the West dreamed up a grittier version of Dante who inhabits Limbo City, a world existing in parallel with the demonic realm. This relationship spectacularly manifests in the city itself coming to life, shifting its buildings and roads to hinder and assault the demon slayer. Sporting jet black hair and the ability to tap into angelic and demonic powers, this new vision of Dante garnered heaps of vitriol from fans who saw DmC as too drastic of a departure, despite the game launching to rave reviews. In this episode, we'll examine how DmC came to be, the role Capcom played in the game's wildest ideas, Hideaki Itsuno's reaction to the project, the backlash Ninja Theory endured, and give our overall impressions of the narrative and gameplay. Join hosts Marcus Stewart (@MarcusStewart7), former GI editor John Carson (@John_Carson), and with special guest Bob Buel (@bobbbackwards) of the 99 Questions podcast as we unpack and pay respects to Ninja Theory's memorable stab at Devil May Cry.

Blockade Entertainment went to Sony with a dream. “What if,” they said, “we took one of your lesser PS3 exclusive games and used old existing game assets to make a big budget movie?” Sony said “let's do it!” and fished around in their couch cushions for enough money to slap this together on the cheap using a third string Korean animation studio. What we have is 2014's Heavenly Sword, based on the 2007 game that no one remembered even at the time. Nariko (Anna Torv) is an orphan part of a nomadic group of warriors tasked with protecting the “Heavenly Sword,” a powerful sword that is magic or something. But evil King Bohan (Alfred Molina, NOT Andy Serkis as IMDb claims. Serkis voiced him in the game) has made a pact with the Raven God and wants the sword to do evil things. Bohan attacks the group's base (I thought they were nomadic?) and Nariko is tasked with finding her long lost brother Loki (Thomas Jane), who is the chosen one and can use Heavenly Sword powers to defeat Bohan. Nariko goes on her quest with Kai (Ashleigh Ball) a violent little girl who turns out to be her sister. Also it turns out her dad is the group's leader Master Shen (Nolan North) who hates girls.

Beaucoup de héros très virils, quelques héroïnes, guerrières sexy ou princesses à sauver… Les mondes des jeux vidéo mainstream sont peuplés d’hommes et de femmes façonné·e·s par des stéréotypes bien réels. Dans ces territoires imaginaires, difficile d’incarner autre chose qu’un personnage binaire et hétérosexuel.Le neutre existe-t-il dans les jeux vidéo ? En quoi la représentation des héroïnes diffère-t-elle de celle des héros ? Quel rôle les joueu·r·se·s ont-iels dans la création de ces personnages ? Comment dégenrer le jeu vidéo ?Camille Regache pose ces questions à Fanny Lignon, maîtresse de conférences en cinéma et audiovisuel à l’université Lyon 1 et coordinatrice de l’ouvrage « Genre et jeux vidéo » (éd.

In our 72nd podcast we interviewed Ricky Wood who is currently a Principal Animator at the newly formed, People Can Fly NY. Ricky has been animating games since 2003 and has helped ship 5 action packed titles - Heavenly Sword, Enslaved: Odyssey To The West, DmC: Devil May Cry, Just Cause 3 and Just Cause 4. He got his start in games at Ninja Theory, during the pre-production phase of Heavenly Sword. Ricky's work quickly became the benchmark of quality within the company, where he spent over 10 years honing his skill as a combat, creature and action cinematic animator. Creating high quality content was one half of his responsibility there, the other was mentoring the team to achieve their very best.

Welcome to Xbox Game Passengers. Every other Wednesday, host Derek and a guest will dissect and discuss just one game available on Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass service, which was chosen for them completely at random. Whether it’s a magical or a horrible experience, they’ll force themselves through it, share their thoughts, and let you know whether or not the game is worth your time! At the end of each episode, they’ll also randomly select the game for the following show. In this episode, Mike returns to break down 2017’s lauded adventure title, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice. It’s a much different experience than either host expected and… they spend far too much time wondering if the world will ever see a sequel as they recorded this episode just days before Senua’s Saga was revealed. From the makers of Heavenly Sword, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, and DmC: Devil May Cry, comes a warrior’s brutal journey into myth and madness. Set in the Viking age, a broken Celtic warrior embarks on a haunting vision quest into Viking Hell to fight for the soul of her dead lover. Created in collaboration with neuroscientists and people who experience psychosis, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice will pull you deep into Senua’s mind. We’ve had a blast making Xbox Game Passengers so far, and we really hope that you’re enjoying it too! If you have any feedback for us, we’d love to hear it at derek@geekscape.net. Anything you listeners can do to help spread the word about the podcast would be immensely appreciated — from sharing it on social media like Facebook or Twitter, to leaving us five stars (or even a review) on Apple Podcasts, to sending it to a single friend, it can all make a massive difference!

Cesar is wrapping up some games for the end of the year, including Control, Luigi's Mansion 3 and more Trails of Cold Steel. He also starts up Deadly Premonition: Origins on Nintendo Switch.

Torna l’iconico Late Show dei Povery, con una puntata improntata sul dietro le quinte del mondo dei videogiochi! In questo video troverete la mia chiacchierata con Alessandro Taini, Senior Concept Artist di Heavenly Sword e poi Visual Art Director per ENSLAVED e DmC: Devil may Cry.

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we take a bonus trip to discuss a more modern game in Devil May Cry 5. We especially note how much they capture the feeling of the original game, despite modernizing some aspects. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: The first few hours Issues covered: cramming everything Devil May Cry into Devil May Cry 5, iterating on a formula and delivering the same feel, pulling the Resident Evil series along, iterations in camera, having the same feeling of play but with lower effort, feeling cool even outside the cutscenes, the reward of spectacle, risk/rewards and timing and breakers, translating enemies to the modern era, the addition of the grapple action of a breaking arm, teaching you to grapple and incorporating it into a boss fight, the story catch-up at the main menu, going back and forth in time, fighting with a motorcycle, opening credits sequence, tight franchise identity, being happy with the sequel, high level of craft, lack of maturity in the women characters, Barbie-Dolling the bodies, being careless with stereotypes and archetypes, lock and key and self-awareness, Dante's styles, fan service, Brett's Book Minute, using difficulty to train the player for higher difficulty levels, different ways to address turn-based vs real-time goals, trading off the cerebral for the immediate or vice versa, being too nit-picky about the details. Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: William Blake, The Force Awakens, God of War, Resident Evil (series), The Raid: Redemption, A Star Is Born, Adam Driver, Hideo Kojima, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Platinum Studios, Vanquish, Bayonetta, Ninja Theory, Metroid: Other M, Team Ninja, Heavenly Sword, Hellblade, Microsoft Game Studios, Diablo III, Kingdom Hearts 2, Jak & Daxter, Takashi Miike, Ryu Murakami, In the Miso Soup, Book Riot, Horrorstör, Grady Hendrix, Mike Vogt, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Johnny, David Brevik, War and Peace, X-COM, Fallout, Final Fantasy 9, FTL, Into the Breach, Temple of Elemental Evil, Tim Cain, Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, MYST.

When Heavenly Sword was released in 2007, there was one word that everyone seemed to have on the edge of their tongues, "cinematic." That word as never been truer as Heavenly Sword makes it's way to the non-interactive screen as a movie. In this episode Brian Tyler and Jonathan Miley interview Todd Farmer, the script writer behind the adaptation and Jason X. This is an archived episode of DarkCast Interviews that originally appeared on Darkstation.com

[Digital Drift 2014] For this episode we are very proud to interview writer Rhianna Pratchett. She has worked on some of our favourite games, and very specifically helped to craft some of the best female characters in the medium. Her experience includes Heavenly Sword, Overlord, Mirror's Edge, BioShock Infinite, Viking: Battle for Asgard, Prince of Persia, Risen, Thief and perhaps most notably she was instrumental in transforming Lara Croft from Mary-Sue, gun-toting tit-machine to the far more real person she represents today in 2013's Tomb Raider. We talk at length about her past experiences and connections, the requirements for a writer in the world of gaming, female/female relationships in narrative, Conan the Barbarian, and of course Time Bandits. Her website can be found here: http://www.rhiannapratchett.com/

[Digital Gonzo 2012] To celebrate Halloween I'm reviewing Monster House, one of the few movies ever put out by ImageMovers Digital. It uses an identical performance capture technique to the Uncharted series, Heavenly Sword, Enslaved and The Last of Us. This is a technique that usually freaks people out because of the Uncanny Valley, less so in games because we're used to seeing CG modeling but in the cinema people wonder why they're not just looking at real people. This is the most stylised of IMD's catalog. They wisely make the character models more cartoonish and slightly claymation-looking which is easier to accept in the brainpan. Joining me for this review are Neil Taylor of GameBurst and Jerome McIntosh of the Gonzo Planet community. The plot runs thus: DJ, a young lad in an American suburb, watches the house across the street, the only occupant being a creepy, angry old man. There's something funny going on inside and DJ is determined to find out what.  It's Halloween and his parents are going away, leaving him with a babysitter, which is embarrassing because he is on the cusp of growing up. His tubby, exuberant and scaredy-cat friend Chowder wants to go trick or treating one last time which DJ considers them now a bit too old for. And a smug, preppy swot of a girl named Jenny comes calling, selling cookies like a pro. All of them end up fixated on this house and what could be inside. That Halloween night they find out.  If you like The Goonies, Stand By Me or other 80′s adventures that don't patronise the kids and have them talking like real people (Super 8 is another one even though it's made in 2011 and set in 1979), you will love this. It's a little bit too scary for young kids if you have them so watch it first. There are some great moments of comedy and a fantastic atmosphere of exploration. Also it's got a solid emotional core. Ultimately it's a story about growing up and what you have to leave behind. Guests: Neil Taylor of TheKiddDogg Jerome McIntosh of GameBurst
