@Foxtrot According to the Entertainment Weekly article, they played a game here and there on their breaks between editing.
Apparently the directors were fans of each others' work. It kind of came about organically from their geeking out.
Luckily, it comes out tomorrow. It doesn't get any more detailed than that.
Tomb Raider has a far wider reach in society than Half-Life, tbh. You ask a random Joe on the street who the Tomb Raider is, they'll probably know. Ask them about Half-Life, the odds of them knowing what you're on about goes down significantly.
And for every person who saw Laura Croft as a sex symbol, there is another who saw Laura as an inspiration. Alicia Vikander, half the dev team behind the reboot, and hundreds of thousands of others, both in the gaming industry and outs...
Road rage is a different rage. Like you said, road rage involves brake checking and tailgating. It would be weird to see a guy T-bagging another guy on the side of the road. Not impossible, but not really something common to road rage the way it is to gaming.
It's worth mentioning that PSNow is cheaper if you buy the year up front. $99 vs $120 (AKA, just over $8/month)
Okay, fixed now.
Indeed!
True, but they have the character designer Yoji Shinkawa, and since most good stories are character driven, especially Metal Gear, that bodes well for a good Metal Gear inspired story.
Did you even read the article? lol
