EVOLUTION

FROM ALLGAMES.COM
NOTES: This was produced in January 2006 for game developer DAVID PERRY. It had to be two minutes and thirty seconds long, for an audience of non-gamers, and was to show what games might look like 5 years from now. Thus why some pre-rendered PS3 videos, and cut scenes were used. As for why there is no RPG collection, we thought about starting with Zork text and evolving but realized for a non gamer audience it wouldn't be easy to quickly explain role playing in a few clips. We will be doing a series of these in the future, check back.

A short trip through the evolution of video games. From pixel to polygons, atari to HD, this is a visual ride through various video game genres as they evolved with new technology and talent from game developers.
The clip was produced for a presentation made by game developer David Perry at the prestigious TED Conference in Marin County. www.ted.com

For a more objective view, you shouldn't mix in-game footage of old games with intro movies of the new ones. Other than that, pretty cool, brought a lot a memories.

You have to read the description and date this was put up. It was 2005 when it was made and none of the HD games were out yet and we needed to show what games MIGHT look like going forward. All we had was the E3 05 videos, so it was the logical choice at the time.

Video games didn't evolve!!

GOD created them seperately in six days!

INFIDELS!!

Haven't you all watched Ben Stein's documentary, 'Expelled'? The evolution of video-games is a lie. There is scientific evidence that proves that they were all created by God. You're all deluded.

Space invaders co-existed with Halo. We have fossils
