We can learn so much from this artist. He wrote his own editor, for vector graphics, used rotoscoping so early in the history of computer games ... The modern game industry lacks what is called in this video "soul" and I agree.
@JustWasted3HoursHere5 жыл бұрын
Yes, and the limitations of the computer's capabilities actually ADDED to the overall quality of the game because it required the designer to come up with even more clever ways to accomplish things. Similar things happened on the Commodore 64 and other 8 bit computers "back in the day".

When I was 8, my uncle invited me to sleep at his home for a day. When I woke up in the morning, I asked if I could play something on his Amiga. I went through the disc box and played things like Buggy Boy, Stunt Car Racer and Giana Sister the day before. But next morning, I discovered this... Another World. The intro brought me into another world, I forgot everything surrounding me until my uncle called me for lunch. My uncle started my computer passion... and this game reminds me so much of him. Two years ago he died of brain cancer :( When I see the Another World pictures again in a movie, it's like I am send back to the day I first played it, the beautiful weekend with my uncle. Yes, it's not the only memory I have of him but it's one of many memories. By the way... a year later I got my own Amiga. I never beat Another World :D Now I have it on Steam and will retry. But I must say that I liked games more that were harder to beat... I think of games like Ecstatica. Today games are developed on a way that anyone can get through the game. But back then, it was mysterious when you couldn't beat a game... not getting through the game, made me dream, made my imagination work. I've never been mad that I didn't get through a game, it was rather fascinating when it happened... because it really made you imagine things.

I'm 32. I was a huge PC gamer in the 90's. I had heard about OOTW, in fact I read about it everywhere but I was mostly interested in racing games so never got around to even play it. I bought it on SNES a month ago and played it for the first time yesterday night. It is one of the most visually coherent games I've ever played. I can only think of interstate '76 as another game who so blatantly and successfully dialed down the graphics in order to accomplish true STYLE. Another world does it better though. It's a stunning looking game. But what a fucking masterpiece of persistent frustration. You die, die die die die die die die but you just can't stop playing because the next screen might be so amazing that you just gotta move on at the risk of losing your sanity. It's all worth it, so I'd like to thank Eric Chahi for making me lose contact with reality just by closing the lights in the living room and killing me unrelentlessy.

Thank you so much for uploading this. What a lovely short documentary. This game will always have a special place in my heart. My oldest brother owned an Amiga 500, and this game always stood out as a haunting and influential piece of art for me. The music, the animation, the story. It was so immersive and beautiful, but also scary for a 7 year old! I often return to it. I always hoped Chahi would return and create his original idea for a 'sequel' which was playing as the alien, but from his point of view. Instead, the games company forced him to do a direct sequel set after the events in Another World. Because of this, he had the main character, Lester (?) killed off due to his frustrations about being restricted creatively.

C'est d'ailleurs amusant de voir que parmi les jeux que j'ai le plus adoré, voir même qui sont cultes à mes yeux et dont celui-ci fait partie, ils s'avèrent souvent être pondus par des français, britanniques ou allemands : Another World, Flashback, Frontier Elite 2 (Elite Dangerous de nos jours), toute la série des X de Egosoft (X4 Foundations le dernier en date) et Beyond Good and Evil 1 et 2 par exemple, on a des pépites quand même sur notre continent et les français sont peut-être rares mais nous sortent des perles comme celle-ci qui restera historique dans le domaine du jeu vidéo. Je suis chanceux d'être d'une génération ayant pu profiter de toute l'évolution du jeu vidéo des années 80 à aujourd'hui car des œuvres comme celle-ci ne s'apprécient à leur juste valeur que quand on y a joué à leur époque. Un jeune d'aujourd'hui ne pourrait pas comprendre le ressenti de la découverte d'un tel jeu dans son contexte, il le trouverait sûrement banal alors qu'à sa sortie c'était un des meilleurs jeux dans le domaine, question de temporalité ^^ Quel plaisir cette vidéo, du coup je vais forcément l'acheter sur GOG Galaxy c'est une certitude, quel bonheur de renouer avec les meilleures recettes de l'époque, un grand merci à Eric Chahi !
