Quantcast



guilecki.jpg kratos.jpgSome months ago we brought you news of The Ultimate Street Fighter 2 DVD which also sold with an obsessive in-depth look at the game's design and history throughout the sequels. I love SF2 and Capcom has all the money I ever made in the 90's, but it did not warrant the purchase of this tome because I'm not in game design. The guy responsible for making Kratos kill things is, so I'm not surprised he got he's vocal about studying a masterpiece in gaming. Check out Low Fierce Derek's fascinating deconstruction of the subtleties of this one single Guile move and how careful attention to details such as this can make or break a game, and the kind of stuff you can expect to find in this book. Sounds like a ton of pressure, but very rewarding. That said, I have never wanted another man's video game job less... but I'm glad somebody's anal enough to be doing it.
