The retro and modern armies are at all-out war!
Everyone loves to debate the merits of games from "back in the day" versus those of more contemporary fare. But why should we have to fight their battles for them? All those gaming heroes are perfectly capable of settling the dispute themselves, through good old-fashioned violence. In the latest freddiew production, a dimensional rift has open up, allowing throngs of Atari-era sprites to rush forth into our time. It's up to the combined efforts of icons like Nathan Drake, Lara Croft, Leon Kennedy, and others to drive 'em back. There's a great sequence in which Altaïr freeruns through the city, and another one in which the Scout keeps a volley going against a Pong paddle (or is it a Breakout paddle?). Meanwhile, Master Chief doesn't do sh*t. Great help, jerk. Old School vs. New School [YouTube] Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)Pretty cool, but definitely their weakest video in a long time. Some very nice costume design and visual effects, but the video itself was meandering and uneventful. Agree with Skribble, also the free-running looked ineffective, like the guy was just showing off instead of using his skills to get from A to B more quickly. The Pong-bit made me smile though, and nice CG as always. it was a pretty cool video, they should of shown what happened with laura. 0.0 she just got in the space ship and left? and wow the master chief costume was so poopy :p at lest the helmet is :p but other then that it was cool. 1:00 PM on 04.28.2013 Super Mario Crossover 3.0 is just around the cornerThree years ago as of yesterday, indie dev Exploding Rabbit's Super Mario Bros.
