Planning to release this on Wednesday as the first installment of a new series! As I mentioned the other day, the intention behind this series is not to be a long-running, episodic Let's Play, but rather something similar to Atari A to Z, only for modern games.
In other words, that means I'll be following a similar format: an introduction telling you a bit about the game, its context, its history and background (where available) followed by some gameplay demonstration. The difference from Atari A to Z is that I'm probably going to try and avoid going in completely blind to the games I cover on this series; I want these videos to act as a "tour" of the game in question, showing you what's interesting about it, the things you can do in it and all that sort of thing. If I've never played the damn thing before recording the video that doesn't really work!
Anyway. I've got the first couple of episodes of this lined up and ready to go, and I'll be having a good old think about what else to cover in future episodes. The nice thing about this series is that it's a flexible format — one week I can cover a slice of a long-term, narrative-centric game; another I can look at, say, a cool snooker sim or something. Plus when Sega hurry up and release G-LOC on Switch, you can bet your ass I'll be doing a video on that for sure — that was probably my favourite, most-played arcade game as a kid!
Anyway. I'm off work for two days now to enjoy my birthday, but that doesn't mean I don't need sleep. Hope you enjoy the video, and when it's officially released on Wednesday if you can indulge me with the usual YouTube shenanigans (like, comment, subscribe if you're not already, and sharing with your social media friends if you're feeling particularly generous) that would be very much appreciated!
For now, I bid you good night, and I hope the week is good to you.
