i watched all the Vise of the Video Game Videos and i am gonna say congrats on the Copying or the Recording for these posts, there all in great quality and in Detail.
i watched this whole series and how did this last video just go into politics and military lmao. there was so much more to talk about game history. counter strike? world of warcraft and mmos? sims? like wtf way to drop the ball.
I remember playing America's Army 3 way back then. Such an awesome game! Sucks they discontinued it for proving grounds, it was okay. Fun fact: Was going to try AA2 cause was interested back then, this was 2009, as I joined my first game, a car drove through my room. So didn't ever get to play that. Lol.
Playing battlefield 3 because playstation plus, while watching this, and thinking why anyone would join the army based on a game. Heard a story of someone who went crazy based on battlefield 3 and that games so bad its funny just a mindless shooter. War is so dumb yo. This documentary is the opposite of war this documentary is smart and awesome and happy, except for the bummer war material. Army get outta videogames no one wants to play americasarmy
Rewatching this series has been interesting, I forgot there was a whole episode dedicated to the military. I know FPS games were massive back then but this episode feels like it was military propaganda, there was plenty more going on in the industry around this time. Also I don't think these post 9/11 military games contributed to the advance in 3D that much. Japan was also making 3D games at this time which weren't based off real world military stuff. Then there was other stuff like GTA III and Driver which was even earlier.
