RPS interviewed Randy Smith about immersive-sims and the future of games, an awesome read for all the game designers:
“..to make an immersive sim which I’m really excited about, we have to look deeper into the future and make something that would have genuinely surprised the living shit out of everyone at Looking Glass working on Thief.”
“..learning a story through environment and deciding what you’re accomplishing in games… and finding a lightweight way to bring them to a wider audience”

We have linked the Game Probe series before on gmzzz, but I think it’s time to post the whole series here.
For those of you who haven’t been following Mike Jones, he’s award winning teacher and writer with extensive experience in media technology, creative production, journalism, online development and critical analysis of screen culture. He has written more than two hundred published essays articles and reviews along with three books for students of screen media.
He uses his expertise to analyse video games in a fantastic series of video essays entitled Game Probe and has so far produced seven episodes, all of which can be found below. It’s an inspiring work that I recommend all of you to watch. For more of Game Probe be sure to check it’s original website. Enjoy!
