Revered videogames news channel GamesIndustry.biz has just published an interview with Iain and James about the work of the NVA. As well as running through some of the backstory of the Archive and how and why it came to be, we talk a little about some of the forthcoming projects that we have planned – in particular, the ‘Director Commentaries’. Those of you at last year’s GameCity Three festival will have an idea what these are all about – brilliant and interesting people talking about their brilliant and interesting games while playing them and showing you all the brilliant and interesting things that you might have missed or could never have known. Want to hear how Goldeneye 007’s built environment wouldn’t pass current disability legislation for accessibility, or in which level you can find Martin and Dave’s virtual offices, or perhaps just sit back and enjoy the multiplayer gaming masterclass and find out whether Martin Hollis can beat Dave Doak…? All this and more, will be revealed soon. We’re busy editing and filming more Director Commentaries right now (in fact, we’ll be at a secret location in the North West next week…). Watch this space.
But for now, head over to GI.biz and read all about it.
