Aujourd'hui, ce sont les 25 ans d'ICO et de Silent Hill 2. Par leurs expérimentations et leur approche singulière, ils ont contribué, à un degré inouï, à élargir le spectre du jeu vidéo.

Une image d'ICO. Yorda et Ico près de la mer, sur l'un des bords du château. L'effet de "bloom" caractéristique du jeu est très prononcé.

Une image dans la prison de Silent Hill 2. Le décor est particulièrement crade, glauque.
(mon niveau préféré de toute la saga, certainement)

🎶Xenosaga, Nietzsche et la musique L'amitié puis l'inimitié entre Nietzsche et Wagner est très connue, mais ce qui l'est moins, c'est que Nietzsche, grand passionné de musique, était lui-même musicien et compositeur ! Dans Xenosaga, "l'avatar" de Nietzsche, Wilhelm,

Un croquis de Wilhelm jouant du violoncelle, présent dans un artbook de Xenosaga III réalisé par CHOCO.

La couverture de l'essai Le Cas Wagner + Nietzsche contre Wagner

Texte issue de la base de données de Xenosaga Episode I :

Wilhelm 230
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Founder and CEO of the interplanetary conglomerate,
Vector Industries.

He also served as the Executive Committee Director of the
Galaxy Federation, up to a decade ago.

Like chaos, his origins and personal history are shrouded
in mystery.

A man in a scarlet cloak, his advisor and aide, is ever present
at his side and the strains of Wagner can always be heard
in his office.

Sounds like the music in the latest KH4 trailer is by Shotaro Shima, exciting! The usual elements of his battle pieces are a dead giveaway (his usual FFVII Remake "sting" SFX, atmospheric synths, cinematic percussion, stacked brass and flutes in rich chords, etc.) youtu.be/54eFEhlnIjg?... [1/2]

This is the second time I make a video about a trailer for a game that has then turned around and massively disappointed me with their next trailer (digital 2Pac was the other)… I might need to reconsider this approach!

this goes for just about any platform you could think of, patreon twitch whatever, please do not do give money to creators through a platform's phone app unless it is literally the absolute only way you can do so. you pay more, the person you're trying to support gets less, it sucks for everyone
