New York Gets Destroyed 8-bit Style VIDEO

Imagine the apocalypse. Now imagine characters and elements from 80s games carrying it out. This is exactly what this crazy video portrays, and being a classic games geek myself, if this sort of thing were to happen in real life, Im not sure whether Id run or marvel at the sight.
Its all there - Pacman, Tetris, Arkanoid. Once-friendly, familiar characters wreak havoc on the buildings, streets and cars of New York. The video was created by Patrick Jean from the Paris-based special effect studio One More Production, and the production level is nothing short of amazing. See for yourself.

I just love the idea of how they added Tetris to destroy the buildings faster, great job Tetris your finally made it into a disaster film or war I should say

[@Tecosaurus]

I hope you sued the creators of Pixels for stealing this idea.

[@divine308]

Or the director of the movie not the main character

[@runningwithgunslive1463]

Tecosaurus sorry to tell you but this was made in 2010 the movies was mad in 2015 so you are asking for a lawsuit that can't happen

[@ladyandreadoria]

Eat Weed You totally don't get it bruh. If it was made in 2010, it was here first. Pixels copied of it, not the other way around.

Has the studio behind pixels been sued yet for stealing the name and premise of this animation? This is amazing by 2010 standards in amateur projects.

[@PokemonJack333]

Masterfully done.

[@holzkiewuf]

I'm not even joking when I say that final image is haunting...the cubing of the world. Lots of truth in it...making everything linear, angled, technologically focused. Because we DO live in boxes--cublicles, cars, houses, beds, screens...when we used to live by circles--tee-pees, camp-fires, seasons, sun and moon. This video is freaking me out.

[@bloodstrifezero]

here's the story: all the 8-Bit games were tired of all those new games, such as MW3. So, they decided to all join up, pitch in, and make their own game. The problem was, they couldn't access the real world easily enough. they made a deal with a guy named Markus Persson, whose made a few 8-Bit games before, and they went to New York and converted the Big Apple in to it's own new game, Minecraft. this was why Minecon 2011 wasn't in New York... lol
