Can't wait for this.

Edit: It's a shame that one of the few gaming related news whithout console warring bullshit gets nearly no attention.

I wonder if this will actually cover FPS history and creators. Including on non-microsoft computer platforms, all the important early 90's polygon ones, and the Bethesda Terminator games. I'm skeptical based on the list of names so far.

Games like goldeneye and quake were the backbone of shooters and they kept innovating.

Oh shit.. I forgot about that game! You just took me back in time! Thank you.

 

[Mr Blobby]

this might be interesting! It would be awesome to hear about the lesser known FPS like Ken's Labyrinth and TekWar. Having an interview with Ken Silverman would be awesome

It was actually a semi-joke but .. haha yes of course he's in it!

 

[Team Andromeda]

I'll be amazing if Lobomtomy gets the credit they deserve in this, never mind Argonaut

 

[SegaManAU]

OK! I'm in! Looks great!

The trick is to have "Phil Spencer" or "Jim Ryan" prepended to your headline. Then everyone reads it.

Happy to announce that I just got a preview screener copy for review purposes of this documentary. Cant wait to binge!

I watched the whole thing twice. It's an amazing documentary for FPS fans. No interview or game discussion overstays its welcome, just enough minutes are given to each game to get the point across and I actually learned some stuff I never knew about. Its a really easy movie to watch because the pacing is so good and in chronological order. I think now its officially on sale for whoever is interested but IMO, this is a must watch for any fans, theres so many games covered its insane.
