NOW I AM SURE YOU HAVE MANY QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT WE JUST SAW AND TO TELL YOU MORE, I AM SO HONORED TO WELCOME TO SUMMER GAME FEST ONE OF OUR INDUSTRY’S GREATEST CREATORS, A MAN WHO HAS

BEEN LOYAL TO THE SAME FRANCHISE AND FAN BASE FOR MORE THAN THREE DECADES. PLEASE JOIN ME IN WELCOMING TO SUMMER GAME FAST, THE CREATOR MORTAL KOMBAT, ED BOON! OF CONGRATULATIONS. THEY LOVE YOU, EDIT, FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU FOR THAT INCREDIBLE WORLD PREMIERE, WE GOT TO SEE ALL THE GAMEPLAY OF MK1 AND EVERYONE WANTS TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS BECAUSE FIRST OF ALL IT IS MK1 SO IS IT A NEW TIMELINE? >> I DON’T KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE SEEN THE ENDING OF MORTAL KOMBAT 11, LUKE KANG WAS BASICALLY GRADUATED INTO A FIRE GOD, RIGHT?

AND HE CREATED A BRAND-NEW UNIVERSE. THIS UNIVERSE IS WHY WE ARE CALLING IT MORTAL KOMBAT 1 IS BECAUSE IT’S THE BEGINNING OF A NEW TIMELINE. A NUMBER OF THESE CHARACTERS YOU’VE SEEN BEFORE BUT THEY ARE TOLD IN A COMPLETE LEE DIFFERENT STORY. SUBZERO AND SCORPION ARE BROTHERS NOW AND THERE ARE ALL OF THESE RIVALRIES BEFORE THAT ARE NOW ALLIES. MIXING THE WHOLE THING UP, JUST KIND OF REBOOTING AND THAT’S WHAT THE 1 IS FOR. >> Geoff: IT LOOKS INCREDIBLE. EVERYTHING WE SAW THERE WAS IN GAME GAMEPLAY, THE CINEMATICS LOOK INCREDIBLE, I KNOW THE TEAM HAS

BEEN WORKING FOUR YEARS ON THIS BUT THE THING WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT ARE THESE CAMEOS. WE SAW SOME PRETTY AMAZING STUFF THERE AND HOW DOES THAT WORK? YOU HAVE YOUR MAIN CHARACTER YOU WILL PICK AND YOU ALSO HAVE A SEPARATE KIND OF KAMEO MENU SO YOU PICK A PAIR WHEN YOU START AGAIN? >> NORMALLY IN A FIGHTING GAME YOU WILL SEE A ROSTER BASICALLY WHERE YOU SELECT A CHARACTER. AFTER YOU DO THAT THERE’S A SECOND ROSTER OF CHARACTERS WHICH ARE A WHOLE NEW COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FIGHTERS THAT ARE KAMEO FIGHTERS AND THESE FIGHTERS, THEY WILL

JOIN THE FIGHT — >> Geoff: A LOT OF BLANK SQUARES. >> BUT IT’S LIKE TO IMAGINE WITH SUBZERO WITH SOME OF JACK’S MOVES AND YOU CAN DO IT MULTIPLE TIMES AS HE SAW IN THE GAMEPLAY. YOU CAN BASICALLY COMBINE ALL OF THESE CHARACTERS WHO CAN BE COMBINED WITH ALL THE CAMEO FIGHTERS THAT’S WHERE THE PLAYER IMAGINATION COMES IN AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY CUSTOMIZE IT FROM WHAT THEY LIKE SEEING THE BEST TEAM UPS. >> Geoff: HOW DOES THAT WORK? YOU HAVE YOUR MAIN AND YOUR CAMEO, HOW DO YOU SUMMON THEM AS A TIME-BASED? HOW OFTEN DO

THEY COME IN? IT’S NOT TAG TEAM, RIGHT? >> EXACTLY. YOU ARE BASICALLY SUMMONING THEM, IT’S JUST ONE BUTTON PUSH IS SUMMONING BUT THEY HAVE A VARIETY SO YOU CAN PUSH THE BUTTON WITH TOWARDS AND IT WILL DO A DIFFERENT MOVE, WITH DOM IT WILL DO A DIFFERENT MOVE, SO. >> Geoff: SECA BRING THEM IN A COMBO? >> EXACTLY. THERE IS A METER ON TOP THAT WILL LIMIT IT SO YOU OBVIOUSLY CAN’T FIRE THEM OFF INDEFINITELY BUT YOU CAN CALL THEM PRETTY MUCH WHENEVER YOU WANT AND IN THE MIDDLE OF A COMBO THEY WILL HAVE A

LOT OF BASICALLY A WHOLE ARSENAL OF THEIR MOVES. SO SOMETIMES YOU WILL SEE THEM APPEAR TWICE IN THERE. >> TIME-BASED AND OBVIOUSLY AS YOU GO THROUGH, HE AVAILED SOME OF THEM THERE SO IS IT A DIFFERENT SET OF CHARACTERS THAT WILL BE IN THE CAMEO? SOME REPEAT FROM THE SAME ROSTER? HOW WILL THAT WORK? >> SOME ARE AVAILABLE AS KAMEOS YOU CAN PLAY SUBZERO WITH SUBZERO. SAME THING WITH SCORPION BUT A LOT OF OUR KAMEO FIGHTERS ARE LIKE NODS BACK TO OUR FIRST GAME. YOU’LL NOTICE SONJA AND JACKSON ARE IN THEIR OLDER COSTUME SO THERE

IS A LOT OF THAT, WE HAVE A LOT OF REALLY SURPRISED ONES I THINK YOU SAW GUERRERO. THERE ARE A LOT OF REALLY DIGGING INTO THE OLD MORTAL KOMBAT GAMES. WE LOVE THE NOVELTY OF A. WE WANT THE KAMEO CHARACTERS TO FEEL. >> Geoff: SPEAKING OF YOU CONFIRMED OR AT LEAST IT’S KNOWN THAT JEAN-CLAUDE VAN DAMME WILL BE IN THIS GAME AS JOHNNY CAGE? PEOPLE WHO KNOW THE STORY, BLOOD SPORT WAS SUCH AN INSPIRATION FOR MORTAL KOMBAT SO IS FINALLY NOW PART OF IT? >> IT’S A HUGE FULL CIRCLE MOMENT. THE FIRST MORTAL KOMBAT GAME

WE ORIGINALLY WANTED TO BE VAN DAM THE VIDEO GAME AND THAT REALLY WORKED OUT. I CAN’T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES OVER THE LAST 30 YEARS WE TRIED TO GET HIM. WE WERE THIS CLOSE FOUR OR FIVE TIMES. FINALLY WE GOT HIM AND HE’S DOING THE VOICES TOO SO YOU WILL HEAR JEAN-CLAUDE, HIS VOICE DOING JOHNNY CAGE LINES AND STUFF LIKE THAT, WE ARE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT. >> Geoff: OF THE TEAM IS WORKING HARD IN CHICAGO TO WORK THROUGH COVID COMING IN SEPTEMBER WE DON’T HAVE TO WAIT LONG. >> YES, THIS HAS BEEN A

VERY DIFFICULT SECRET TO KEEP OVER THE LAST 40 YEARS. BUT WE CANNOT BE MORE EXCITED IN TERMS OF GETTING PLAYER’S HANDS ON IT. THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER WE WILL BE SHOWING A LOT MORE CONTENT, A LOT MORE CHARACTERS, SOME MORE KAMEO CHARACTERS. >> Geoff: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GIVING US THE FIRST LOOK AT MK1 PRESS MEDIA WILL BE PLAYING IT SO LOTS MORE CHARACTERS TO REVEAL ON THE MAIN ROSTER AND KAMEOS, ED BOON THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE FIRST LOOK AT MORTAL KOMBAT.

THE FABRIC OF REALITY TRANSFORMING EVERYTHING YOU THINK YOU MAY KNOW. >> THAT’S RIGHT ┘NICOLAS CAGE IS COMING TO DEAD BY DAYLIGHT IN JULY. I DON’T KNOW HOW THESE THINGS HAPPEN, BUT I FIGURED THE EASIEST WAY TO FIND OUT IS PROBABLY TO GO RIGHT TO THE SOURCE? THIS MAN’S BOLD CREATIVE CHOICES HAVE ON HIM AN ACADEMY AWARD AND A FEW MEMES ON THE INTERNET ACROSS MORE

THAN FOUR DESI DECAF A GULLIBLE FILM, PLEASE JOIN ME IN WELCOMING TO SUMMER GAME FEST, NICOLAS CAGE! >> THANK YOU, EVERYBODY, THEY COULD NOT HAVE AN IMMEDIATE. >> NICK, WELCOME TO THE VIDEO GAME WORLD. >> WOW, THANK YOU, I’M SO HAPPY TO BE INVITED TO YOUR VERY, VERY COOL CLUB. >> Geoff: FINALLY, THIS IS SUCH A CRAZY, AND EXPECT A COLLABORATION, HAVE TO UNDERSTAND HOW DID THIS COME BY? SOME PEOPLE SAY MAYBE WILL SHOW UP IN FORTNIGHT BUT DID BY DAYLIGHT? HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN? >> IT’S A MUSEUM OF HORROR, RIGHT? AND WHEN I MAKE

MOVIES ONE OF MY FAVORITE GENRES IS HORROR. AND IN THAT GENRE, THERE IS A CHARACTER, A MURDEROUS GHOST NAMED SARAKO WHO MADE AN APPEARANCE IN THIS GAME WHICH IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME. >> Geoff: YOU’RE PLAYING ONE OF THE SURVIVORS IN THIS GAME AND IT’S COOL THAT IT REALLY IS THIS MUSEUM OF HORROR AND MICHAEL MYERS, ALL THESE CHARACTERS COME TOGETHER. DO YOU PLAY YOURSELF OR WHO DO PLAY? >> I PLAY THIS HEIGHTENED EXAGGERATED VERSION OF A FILM ACTOR NAMED NICK CAGE. HE IS GOING TO A LOCATION THINKING HE IS MAKING A MOVIE AND INSTEAD

HE WAKES UP IN THE FOG. IN THE FOGGIEST SURROUNDED BY CROWS AND SERIAL KILLERS AND IT’S RATHER AMUSING. AND THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT IT THAT I THINK AS A SURVIVOR IS LIKE A BONDING EXPERIENCE. IT’S A BIT LIKE HIDE AND GO SEEK. YOU WOULD HAVE THREE OTHER TEAMMATES THAT ARE SURVIVORS WITH YOU, IT’S TEAMWORK, YOU’RE WORKING TOGETHER TO PULL THROUGH. I LIKE THAT. SO, THAT WAS A LARGE REASON FOR WANTING TO DO IT AS WELL, THAT FEELING OF BONDING WITH YOUR FRIENDS. >> Geoff: YOU ARE FULLY INTO THIS I KNOW WE HEARD HER VOICE IN

THERE SO YOU RECORDED LINES? >> YOU SEE, I WANT YOU TO KNOW WHEN YOU’RE PLAYING THE NICK CAGE SURVIVOR EVEN WHEN YOU ARE CHOOSING YOUR SKINS I EVEN SAY ALWAYS FOR MEMBER TO DRESS TO MATCH HER TALENT. I WANT YOU TO KNOW YOU AND I ARE ONE WE ARE FUSED. SO IT WAS IMPORTANT TO ME THAT EVERYTHING I DO, EVERYTHING I SAY FROM THE GRUNT DOWN TO THE MOST MINIMAL EXASPERATED EXPRESSION OR A SOCIETY, WHATEVER IT IS IT’S MY VOICE SO WE ARE FUSED YOUR HAND >> Geoff: ALL RIGHT. I LOVE IT. THIS GAME AS

YOU SAID IS JUST AN AWESOME COLLABORATION WITH SO MANY DIFFERENT CHARACTERS. FOR YOU, HOW DID YOU FIND OUT ABOUT DEAD BY DAYLIGHT? TO KNOW ABOUT THE VIDEO GAME? >> SOMEONE IMPORTANT IN MY FAMILY IS A DEAD BY DAYLIGHT ENTHUSIAST. THAT REALLY PUT THE HOOK IN, PUN INTENDED. YOU SEE, DEAD BY DAYLIGHT TO ME WAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BRANCH OUT INTO THE SPACE BEFORE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I’M LOOKING FOR NEW ADVENTURES OF THIS TO ME IS THAT WE COULD HAVE A WHOLE NEW AUDIENCE AND BRANCH OUT AND GO ON THIS DEAD BY DAYLIGHT ADVENTURE.

I DIDN’T SAY IT TOOK ME NOTHING BUT A SPLIT SECOND TO SAY YES, AND SPEAKING OF SPLIT SECONDS, EXCUSE ME, WHAT I NOTICED, EXCUSE ME, SINUSES, ALLERGIES. WHAT I NOTICED WAS THAT EVERY MOVE YOU MAKE WHEN YOU ARE DOING THIS, WHEN YOU WERE IN THE GAMING SPACE, IT IS TIMED IT DOWN TO THE SPLIT SECOND. IT IS A VERY IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE WHEN YOU ARE ACTING OUT IN THE SPACE BECAUSE EVERY MOVE, EVERY GRUNT COME EVERY SIGH YOU MAKE HAS TO BE TIMED PERFECTLY WITH THE GAMER MOVES. THAT WAS SOMETHING I LEARNED FROM THIS AND I’M

ALWAYS LOOKING TO LEARN SOMETHING. >> Geoff: WE LOVE HAVING YOU IN THE VIDEO GAME AND WILL BE LIKE TO SEE HIM IN MORE GAMES? THANK YOU SO MUCH. NICOLAS CAGE, GREAT TO SEE YOU.

THE GAME AWARDS. THANKS FOR WATCHING, EVERYONE. WE’LL SEE YOU SOON! ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> WELCOME, EVERYBODY. THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU, THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WATCHING — MILLIONS OF PEOPLE? THAT CAN’T BE RIGHT. THIS THING HAS REALLY GROWN SINCE IT STARTED TEN YEARS AGO HERE IN SAN FRANCISCO. DAY OF THE DEVS WAS AN IDEA TO PUT ON A SHOW THAT REALLY CELEBRATED VIDEO GAMES AND FOCUSED ON FANS AND DEVELOPERS AND BROUGHT THEM TOGETHER. IT STARTED OUT AS A LIVE EVENT WHERE WE HAD DEVELOPERS SHOWING THEIR GAMES AND PEOPLE COULD PLAY THEM

IN THE SNOW MUSIC AND NEED FOOD AND DRINK AND IT WAS REALLY A FESTIVAL OF AMAZING CREATIVITY AND VERY INSPIRING. DURING THE PANDEMIC IT BECAME DIGITAL ONLY AND NOW WE ARE DOING BOTH. LIVE EVENT AND DIGITAL SHOWCASE. PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD CAN ENJOY THE AMAZING GAINS. RECORD NUMBER OF SUBMISSIONS THIS YEAR. MORE PEOPLE WANTED TO BE PART OF IT THAN ANY YEAR PREVIOUSLY. WE HAVE MORE WORLD PREMIERES TODAY THAN EVER BEFORE. I’M EXCITED. I HOPE YOU’RE EXCITED. WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, ENJOY DAY OF THE DEVS. >> DIGITAL SHOWCASE. >> THERE WILL BE EFFECTS ON T THAT.

>> I AM PLEASED TO INTRODUCE TO BRAND-NEW GAME FROM A TEAM NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART. THIS IS FROM THE TEAM AT WHICH WAS UNLIMITED. >> I AM EXCITED TO TELL YOU WHAT MY FRIENDS AND I AM WORKING ON TOGETHER. INTRODUCING. THESE T-BALL, YOU COACH A TEAM OF BEASTIES. YOU CAN EXPLORE THIS WORLD. YOU CAN CHALLENGE RIVAL SPORTS TEAMS. BEASTIES ARE HIGHLY SOCIAL CREATURES THAT EVOLVED TO PLAY SPORTS. IN THEIR WILD STATE THEY ARE CONSTANTLY PLAYING BEASTIE BALL. WHEN THEY PLAYED TOGETHER BECOME FRIENDS WITH ONE ANOTHER. DEPENDING ON THE PERSONALITIES, THE STYLE, THEY FORM

DIFFERENT KINDS OF FRIENDSHIPS. WHETHER THEY BECOME BEST TEAS OR RIVALS OR PARTNERS OR SWEETHEARTS, THEY GET THE ABILITY OF ONLY THAT PAIR OF BEASTIES CAN DO. WITH THIS GAME, WE WANTED TO EMPHASIZE THAT AGENCY IS LIVING CREATURES. THEY ARE DOING THEIR OWN THING AND MAKING THEIR OWN DECISIONS. THEY WILL JOIN YOUR TEAM. THE GOAL ISN’T TO COLLECT AS MANY BEASTIES AS YOU CAN BUT SPEND TIME WITH ONES YOU CARE ABOUT. WE KNEW WE WANTED TO CREATE A REALLY WIDE VARIETY OF BEASTIES THAT EACH HAVE THEIR OWN ECOLOGICAL NICHE AND THEY ARE PLAYING BEASTIE BALL. WORKING

WITH A BUNCH OF CONCEPT ARTIST AND SPENDING TIME ON EACH DESIGN. A RANGE OF COLORS AND SIZES. GIVING US LOTS OF OPPORTUNITIES TO EXPRESS OUR PERSONALITY. >> TO HELP GIVE EACH VC THEIR PERSONALITY, WE’VE BEEN DOING UNIQUE VOICES FOR THEM. EACH ONE CAN EXPRESS A RANGE OF EMOTIONS. IT’S NOT ALL JUST FRIENDSHIPS AND RAINBOWS. IT’S ABOUT SPORTS. BUILT IN A TINY TOWN. THE BEASTIE BALL LEAGUE SHOWS UP. YOUR ONLY WAY TO STOP THE CONSTRUCTION IS TO RISE ALL THE WEIGHT OF THE TOP. >> RIGHT FROM THE START FROM THEIR ADVENTURE, YOU CAN SEE THE TEAMS

ON YOUR MAP. YOU DECIDE WHERE TO GO, WHO TO CHALLENGE AND IN WHAT ORDER. EVERY TIME YOU DEFEAT A RANKED COACH, THE OTHERS BECOME STRONGER. YOU WILL HAVE A TOUGH AND EXCITING RISE TO THE TOP. >> WE ARE EXCITED TO REVEAL IT. IT LOOKS COOL, CHECK US OUT AT TheseT-ballGame.com. WE LOVE TO HAVE YOUR SUPPORT. THANKS VERY MUCH. CAN’T WAIT TO TALK TO MORE ABOUT BEASTIE BALL. >> HYPER LIGHT BREAKER. YOU’LL ASSUME THE ROLE OF A MERCENARY WITH SERIOUS SKILLS. YOU WILL BE ENTERING THE OVERGROWTH.

YOU’LL FACE OFF AGAINST ENIGMATIC ENEMIES ARMED WITH AN ARSENAL OF WEAPONS THAT YOU CORRECTED WITH THE SPOILS OF YOUR PREVIOUS BATTLES AND FOR THOSE DIE-HARD FANS TO BE REALLY AWAITING ITS RELEASE, WE HAVE SOME NEVER BEFORE SEEN SNEAK PEEKS. THIS IS HYPER LIGHT BREAKER. >> HELLO, I’M ALEX. CREATIVE DIRECTOR. WE ARE MAKING HYPER LIGHT BREAKER. HYPER LIGHT BREAKER IS A HUGE STYLISH GAME. IT’S A GAME THAT’S VIVID BUT

BLEAK WITH THE CRUMBLING WORLD THAT CAN BE BEAUTIFUL AND BRUTAL ALL AT ONCE. IT’S THE FIRST OF ITS KIND. A GAMER YOU NEVER RETURN TO THE SAME WORLD TWICE. YOU CAN SAY IT’S AN INCRE INCREDIBLY — YOU CAN PLAY ALONE OR WITH FRIENDS COOPERATIVELY ONLINE. BREAKER’S NARRATIVE WILL BE PRESENTED FULLY THROUGH VISUAL STORYTELLING WHERE YOU CAN DISCOVER AND DECIPHER THE WORLD AND THE LOST LAND FROM LONG AGO. EVERY WORLD WILL BE DIFFERENT. LOADED WITH DANGEROUS CREATURES, OVERGROWN WILDERNESS, LONG DEAD CIVILIZATIONS AND NEW DISCOVERIES. MYSTERIOUS, VIBRANT, HORRIBLY OMINOUS. EACH IS DIFFERENT. UNIQUE DANGERS, SET PIECES AND

STORIES. THERE WILL BE MASSIVE BOSSES TO TAKE DOWN. YOU WILL PICK UP NEW GEAR, MAKING NEW BUILDS, UNLOCK NEW CHARACTERS, UPGRADE YOUR EQUIPMENT AS YOU BRING BACK MORE AND MORE MATERIALS. WE LEARNED SO MUCH FROM OUR PREVIOUS GAMES. THE DEEP WELL OF KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE. THE CULMINATION OF ALL THE INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE. WE WILL HAVE MORE INFORMATION ON THE GAME AS WE COME CLOSER AND CLOSER TO EARLY ACCESS. >> AND NOW IN TRUE DAY OF THE DEVS FASHION WE ARE TRAVELING HALFWAY AROUND THE GLOBE TO TRANSYLVANIA TO BRING YOU A GAME THAT’S NOT WHAT YOU EXPECT.

FROM DEVELOPERS DON’T SKIP AND PUBLISHER IAM8BIT PRESENTS, I’M THRILLED TO BRING YOU A WORLD PREMIERE TITLE THAT’S NOT ONLY RELAXING AND ENJOYABLE. IT’S CHILL AND VIBEY. LET THAT ANXIETY GO WHILE YOU PLAY SIMPLER TIMES. >> HI THERE. WELCOME. >> WE ARE SMALL TEAM FROM TRANSYLVANIA OUR MISSION IS TO CREATE MEANINGFUL EXPERIENCES. OUR GAME SHEDS LIGHT ON THE BEAUTY OF THE ORDINARY AND SERVES AS A PLACE FOR THE PAST WEEK AND BE PRESENT. >> SIMPLER TIMES, FOLLOWING HER ON A HEARTWARMING JOURNEY. >> OH, MAN. IT’S STARTING TO FEEL LIKE I’M NEVER GOING TO COME BACK. >>

WE WANT YOU TO SLOW DOWN AND SAVOR THE PRESENT MOMENT BY IMMERSING YOU IN THE WORLD. >> IT’S APPLE PICKING SEASON. MY FAVORITE. >> THROUGH VISUAL STORYTELLING AND INTERACTIONS, YOU WILL JOURNEY ALONGSIDE HER SHE DELVES INTO HER PAST AND UNCOVERS HER AUTHENTIC SELF. >> WITH EACH ONE, SHE GROWS CLOSER AND YOU’LL BE THERE TO GUIDE HER. FROM SIMPLE ACTIVITIES LIKE PICKING DRY LEAVES FROM A PLANT TO MORE COMPLEX ONES, YOU’LL INTERACT WITH OBJECTS AND HOLD SENTIMENTAL VALUE. >> I WISH I COULD SAVE YOU. I’M GOING TO MISS OUR DUETS TOGETHER. >> THE WORLD IS MOVING

FASTER EVERY DAY. WE WANTED TO CREATE A SPACE WHERE PLAYERS CAN TAKE A BREAK, SLOW DOWN AND ENJOY SOMETHING MEANINGFUL. SIMPLER TIMES COMES FROM STORIES WE BELIEVE NEED TO BE TOLD AND HEARD, INSPIRED BY THIS VERY PLACE WE ARE NOW SITTING IN. THE GAME IS A REFLECTION OF THE PHYSICAL SPACES WE SPENT TIME IN AND THE MEMORIES WE HOLD DEAR. >> I HAVE SPENT SO MUCH TIME HERE LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW. IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT I WON’T SEE THIS VIEW FOR A WHILE. >> WE WANT TO BUILD A SENSE OF AWARENESS AND APPRECIATION FOR

THE WORLD AROUND US, ENCOURAGING YOU TO REFLECT ON YOUR OWN MEMORIES AND EXPERIENCES. >> SIMPLER TIMES IS COMING SOON ON PC AND OTHER PLATFORMS. FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA. >> THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO LISTEN. WE HOPE YOU ENJOY PLAYING SIMPLER TIMES AS MUCH AS WE ENJOYED CREATING IT. >> IT’S LIKE CHILDHOOD IS THE BEACH. GROWING UP IS THE SEA. CAN I STILL TAKE ALL THE SEASHELLS WITH ME? CAN I LOCK THEM IN A CHEST WITH MY MEMORIES? >> THIS NEXT GAME IT’S FROM SAD I WILL STUDIOS. IT’S A UNIQUE PUZZLE GAME BUILT AROUND

A CAMERA MECHANIC FOR THE PHOTOS YOU TAKE BECOME 3D WORLD FOR YOU TO EXPLORE. THIS IS VIEWFINDER. >> VIEWFINDER IS A DIFFICULT GAME TO DESCRIBE IN WORDS BUT YOU’D RECOGNIZE IT. >> WHAT IS THIS PLACE? >> IT IS A GAME THAT GIVES PLAYERS A LOT OF FREEDOM. >> WHAT IS AN OLD PHOTOGRAPH DOING HERE? >> YOU CAN TAKE PHOTOS OR FIND PHOTOS AND THEN MAKE THEM INTO REAL 3D SPACES. >> HANG ON, DID YOU SHIFT REALITY? >> WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE IS THE CENTRAL MECHANIC WERE USING PICTURES TO RESHAPE THE WORLD AROUND YOU TO SOLVE

CHALLENGES IN CREATIVE WAYS. >> IT’S SUCH A UNIQUE EXPE EXPERIENCE. I THINK EVERYBODY IS JUST GOING TO HAVE A DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE OF HOW THEY PLAY VIEWFINDER. THAT’S A REALLY NICE THING. >> PERFECT FIT. ELEGANT SOLUTION. >> DOESN’T LOOK RIGHT. YOU CAN ROTATE REALITY. >> IF I WAS TO COMPARE VIEWFINDER TO OTHER GAMES I’D SAY IT’S LIKE THE GAMEPLAY PORTAL COMBINED WITH SUPER LIMINAL OR ANTECHAMBER. PEOPLE COMPARED TO THE WITNESS. VARIOUS OTHER FIRST-PERSON GA GAMES. IT’S A PUZZLE GAME BUT IT’S VERY SANDBOXY AND PLAYFUL. >> THE WHOLE CONCEPT OF ONE WE STARTED, WHEN YOU’RE ACTUALLY CREATING

SOMETHING, YOU DO DESTROY A LOT OF THINGS. IT’S VERY IMPORTANT LESSON IN CREATION. >> VIEWFINDER IS CREATED BY DIFFERENT PEOPLE. WE HAVE PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD WHO HAVE SUCH DIVERSE AND INTERESTING CULTURE. >> EACH CHARACTER COMES FROM A DIFFERENT CULTURE. CULTURE SPECIFIC PROPS AND IT ITEMS. THEMES THAT WE LEARN ABOUT. ENVIRONMENTS AND ENVIRONMENTAL STORYTELLING. WE’D TRY TO SORT OF MAKE SPECIAL SPACES. IT REPRESENTS THE CHARACTER, WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY LIKE TO DO. >> I’M SURE THAT YOU NOTICED BY NOW THAT USING FILM WAS ALWAYS HER IDEA, ONE OF HER MANY PASSIONS.

>> ALWAYS FOND OF GAMES. >> IT’S JUST VERY IMPORTANT FOR US TO JUST PUT IN WHAT WE KNOW SO THAT THE REST OF THE WORLD CODE ALSO HAVE A GLIMPSE OF THE EXPERIENCES THAT WE’VE HAD. >> THIS MUST BE THE NEXT STAGE. LET’S GO. >> WE RECEIVED A RECORD NUMBER OF SUBMISSIONS FOR THE SUMMER GAME FEST EDITION OF DAY OF THE DEVS BUT THIS NEXT GAME DIDN’T COME THROUGH THE PROCESS. WE HAVE EYES EVERYWHERE. THE TEAM IS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR GAMES. THIS NEXT ONE CAME FROM TWITTER BECAUSE THE CREATOR WAS POSTING THESE AMAZING GIFTS AND

WE REACHED OUT AND ASKED IF HE COULD FEATURE TO GAIN SO HERE IT IS. THIS BEAUTIFUL, GORGEOUS HAND DRAWN GHOST STORY. >> HELLO, EVERYONE. WE ARE MAKING A GAME. THE MAIN MECHANIC IS THAT AS A GHOST, YOU CAN HUNT THINGS AND TO GET ACCESS THEIR ABILITIES. IT’S A BIG VARIETY OF THINGS THAT YOU CAN HUNT IN THE GAME. I THINK YOU’LL HAVE A LOT OF FUN EXPLORING, THE DIFFERENT THINGS YOU CAN HUNT AND THE ABILITIES THAT THEY GIVE YOU. THE CORE MECHANICS. UNLIKE TWIN STICK SHOOTERS IT FOCUSES LESS ON THE HIGH INTENSITY MOMENTS AND MORE

ON FINDING CREATIVE WAYS TO USE THE TWIN STICK PARADIGM TO CREATE FUN SOLUTIONS TO THE CHALLENGES IN THE GAME. IT FOLLOWS THE STORY OF A GHOST IN THE AFTERLIFE AND BEYOND THAT IT REALLY EXPANDS INTO A LOT OF GHOSTS IN THE AFTERLIFE AND THE STORIES THEY HAVE. THE PROGRESSION AND THE STORIES CENTER AROUND COLLECTING STARS. STARS HAVE THIS SPECIAL ABILITY THAT THEY GIVE GHOSTS ACCESS TO PIECES OF THEIR PAST LIFE THAT THEY HAVE LEFT BEHIND. THE ENVIRONMENT AND CHARACTERS ARE CAREFULLY CRAFTED. THERE’S A LOT OF PAINSTAKING FRAME BY FRAME ANIMATION WORK IN THERE. WE HAVE

A FANTASTIC SOUNDTRACK. IT ALL SORT OF COMES TOGETHER TO GIVE YOU THIS SORT OF TOUR THROUGH THE AFTERLIFE CHILLED OUT EXPERIENCE. IF THIS IS SOMETHING YOU’RE INTERESTED IN, BE SURE TO WISH LIST IT. IT HELPS US OUT A LOT. >> THE NEXT GAME IS A BIT OF A BLAST FROM THE PAST. ARRIVED ON THE SCENE 12 YEARS AGO. BECAME THE TALK OF THE TOWN AND WON A HANDFUL OF WORDS. THEN SHORTLY AFTERWARDS BOTH THE GAME AND ITS CREATOR VANISHED. THAT GAME WAS A SLICE OF LIFE SIMULATION AGAIN THE PUT YOU IN THE SHOES OF VARIOUS

STREET VENDORS AND TASKS TO DO WITH SETTING UP A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS SELLING BAGELS OR NEWSPAPERS. THE STORY UNFOLDS. YOU FIND YOURSELF MAKING TOUGH CHOICES. IT WAS A TRULY UNIQUE, POWERFUL AND SPECIAL GAME AND IT’S SUPER SAD THAT IT’S BEEN UNPLAYABLE FOR THE BETTER PART OF A DECADE BUT HE GIVES ME GREAT PLEASURE TO TELL YOU IT’S RESTORED AND BETTER THAN EVER. >> HI. I AM NICK. WE ARE HERE TO SHOW YOU THE G GAME. IT’S A LITTLE RETAIL SIMULATOR, KURT LIFE. IT RELEASED IN 2013. IT WON A BUNCH OF AWARDS. FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS

HE ENDED UP TAKING IT OFF NOW WE ARE PARTNERING WITH HIM TO BRING IT BACK. IN CART LIFE, YOU CAN PLAY AS THREE DIFFERENT CHARACTERS. EACH HAVE THEIR OWN UNIQUE BACKGROUND AND CIRCUMSTANCES BUT WHAT THEY ALL HAVE IN COMMON IS THEY ARE TRYING TO MAKE IT AS STREET VENDORS. MELANIE IS A RECENTLY DIVORCED MOTHER AND HAS MOVED BACK INTO HER FAMILY HOME WITH HER DAUGHTER ALL THE WHILE TRYING TO ESTABLISH A NEW COFFEE CART. ANDRUS IS A UKRAINIAN IMMIGRANT TRYING TO PUT DOWN ROOTS IN A NEW TOWN. VOLNEY HAS BIG DREAMS BUT NEVER ENOUGH MONEY

TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. HE’S HOPING SELLING HIS HOMEMADE BAGELS WILL HELP TURN THINGS AROUND FOR HIM. MANAGING YOUR OWN CARD IS NOT AN EASY JOB. JUST LIKE IN REAL LIFE, IN CART LIFE YOUR RESOURCES ARE LIMITED. YOU NEED TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND OTHERS AND HOW YOU PRIORITIZE THE NEEDS OF YOUR CART AGAINST THE PERSONAL NEEDS OF EACH CHARACTER WILL DETERMINE THE OUTCOME OF THE STORIES. THE WORLD OF CART LIFE IS ALIVE AND FILLED WITH CHARACTERS OR POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS THAT YOU’LL GET TO KNOW IF YOU TRY TO BUILD YOUR BUSINESS. THERE IS NO RIGHT

OR WRONG WAY TO PLAY THE GAME. WHAT PLAYERS CHOOSE TO DO WITH THE TIME THEY HAVE IS ENTIRELY UP TO THEM. EVERYONE’S EXPERIENCE WILL BE DIFFERENT BASED ON THE CHOICES THEY MAKE AND WHAT THEY PRIORITIZE IN THE ORDER TO PLAY THE CHARACTERS. THE RELEASE IS GOING TO HAVE NEW CONTENT, NEW ART, UPDATED CONTROLS AND MECHANICS. WE LOOK FORWARD TO SHARING IT ALL WITH YOU ON PC AND CONSOLE LATER THIS YEAR. >> THE SKATEBOARD RENAISSANCE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE LAST COUPLE YEARS IN GAMES. THINGS ARE GETTING MORE AVANT-GARDE AND DARING. THIS NEXT ONE GIVES

YOU ALL THE TONY HAWK MECHANICAL GOODNESS THAT YOU CRAVE BUT WITH A HEAVY HELPING OF DEMONS AND BRIMSTONE. THIS IS THE WORLD PREMIERE. >> HELLO. I’M THE CEO AND FOUNDER. TODAY WE ARE TALKING ABOUT ESCAPE. >> ALL RIGHT. FIRST TRY. HERE WE GO. >> NO! THAT WAS A GOOD COMBO. >> ALL RIGHT, THAT’S IT. >> TOO SLOW. AGAIN. >> IT TAKES PLACE, YOU PLAY A SKATER THROUGH AND THROUGH. ALL HE WANTS TO DO IS SKATE. THEY WILL DO ANYTHING TO STOP HIM AND HIS SKATER FRIENDS. THE SKATEBOARD MECHANICS ARE SIMILAR TO ARCADE LIKE GAMES. THE

LEAD GAME DESIGNER STEVE WORKED ON TONY HAWK’S GAME. >> THE FAR-FLUNG LAND OF 2002 I WORKED ON A GAME CALLED TONY HAWK UNDERGROUND. WE WERE THINKING THIS LOOKS LIKE AN RPG. THE STATS, AND YOU’RE UPGRADING. SUPERCOOL, SUPER NEED. WE ARE BOUND TO TONY HAWK. BOUND TO THE REAL PRO SKATERS. IT SEEMED TO ME THAT IT IMPLIES AN INTERESTING WORLD BUT NOT A COHERENT WORLD THAT YOU CAN VISIT. WAS ONE OF THE MOTIVATIONS. SKATE FUSES TOGETHER OLD-SCHOOL SKATEBOARDING. WITH STRUCTURE. >> WITH OTHER GAMES IN THE GE GENRE, THE CENTRAL MECHANIC IN THE GAME. >> WHEN YOU

DIE ON A RUN, YOU DON’T LOSE EVERYTHING. YOU KEEP YOUR RESOURCES. YOU CAN GET PERMANENT UPGRADES. TATTOOS AND SKATEBOARDS WHICH ACT AS WEAPONS.
