Lembram-se da emoção de esperar pelo ruído da cassete, rezando para que a demo carregasse? 📼 Nesta viagem nostálgica, recuamos aos anos 80 e 90 para celebrar a arte perdida das demos de videojogos . E não só! Houve um tempo em que os estúdios confiavam tanto na qualidade dos seus jogos que nos davam partes inteiras de graça. Recordo a revolução do Shareware , a paciência dos jogadores do ZX Spectrum com as demos da revista MicroHobby , a emoção dos Demo Discs da PlayStation e os DVDs repletos de conteúdo das revistas portuguesas BGamer , Mega Score e Hype . Para finalizar, analiso a triste transição para os trailers cinematográficos e o modelo de " Acesso Antecipado " e " Betas Pagas " de hoje, que substituíram a transparência pela pré-reserva cega. Neste vídeo vais encontrar: A Era da Cassete: O peso da revista e o carregamento lento. O Manifesto Shareware: Como Doom se espalhou "gratuitamente". Os Demo Discs: Por que é que o conteúdo era tão memor...
Kung Fury: Street Rage [2015, Windows / iOS / Android] Review - It's a Pixel THING - Ep.#53
Ten days
after its worldwide released on youtube, Kung Fury has already more than
thirteen million views!
Crowd
funded through kickstarter, the movie tells, in 30 minutes, the story of a
renegade cop who travels back in time to kill, no more nor less, Hitler! So,
expect a lot of Nazis, Vikings and… wait for it… Dinosaurs!!!
Backed by
more than seventeen thousand fans, this kickstarter campaign was launched in
December of 2013 and gathered more than six hundred and thirty thousand
dollars, three times more than its initial goal! An HD download and physical
copy on blu-ray and DVD was shipped to backers of the project in November of
2014 and, now, 6 months later, everyone have the possibility to watch this
amazing, hilarious and cheesy movie from writer, director and actor David
Sandberg. Yes, David is the main star of this freaking cool movie!
Right after
the movie’s première in Cannes and on youtube, was also made available on Steam
the PC adaptation of the film, just like it would happen in late eighties and
early nineties, except there was no steam or other type of online store back
then!
Developed
by Hello There, Kung Fury: Street Rage is a beat-em-up video game that features
superb stereo music, amazing true color graphics and hordes of Nazis to beat!
That’s all
we have to do, beat the crap out of all enemies that appear on screen by
pressing the left and right buttons, or arrows on the keyboard, and try to get
the highest score possible!
The best of
all is that, visually, it’s simply amazing and gorgeous to look at! It feels
like we’ve just travelled back in time and in an arcade saloon trying out this
new game that has just arrived! Awesome stuff!
With tons
of beat-em-up video game references “a la” Streets of Rage and even to the
He-Man animated series, it features, also, a digital presence of the
rock’n’roll “king” of the eighties David Hasselhoff with a Knight Rider twist.
So, both movie and video game should be experienced by all nostalgic fan of
this type of thing. Better saying, Kung Fury should be seen and played by
everyone! This is what kickstarter is all about, funding projects that people
really want to see, play, feel and touch! Not some pointless stuff that only
guys with a tie around their necks think that will bring big money to their
mighty corporations, deviate some to their own pockets and later be arrested
for doing so!
Please, tell all your friends about this epic eighties
adventure. Let’s make Kung Fury the video with more visualizations on youtube
surpassing PSY with its Gangnam Style! The links to both movie and game are below.
And there are even iOS and Android versions of the game that plays,
looks and sounds exactly the same as the one shown in this episode! And those
portable versions are completely free!!
Do
yourselves a favor and grab the game and the soundtrack! It’s really amazing
and takes you right back to the eighties!
