Here we have a reveal trailer for the 'gods' of this year's ShadowlooShowdown:2K11
It is an event that features a circle of fighting game players ,deemed to be top of the class ,who showdown against a number of participants in a series of SuperStreetFighter4 games.
Just excited as I am for the event coming up ,the visuals also leave me in awe being well made and presented. The basic skills and knowledge required to make something like this are something attainable to almost anyone ,but this is a good example of an artist thinking ,of how he can pull this off with high quality and successfully convey the message without taking away from the information or making it blunt. I think this was greatly achieved because the video had its job done and not a feeling of wanting more was there.
Defamiliarisation? The music that goes with the visuals was a great contributing factor as I guess it sends out the right 'vibes' of the event - a competition? - or maybe the reality of this recreation? Games in general are something that anyone can enjoy ,but when you narrow down to certain genres this is no longer true however. It becomes more about the people around you enjoying the same things - a gaming community. Like this it is more enjoyable ,more about us enjoying something ,less about you passing time.
