Re: Anyone else here not play any video games?
I think a lot of it is simply understanding where the bar is at. A lot of artists and animators can have a good sense of where the pulse of the industry is at without needing to play games. They can look up the Uncharted 4 art dump, or open up Grassetti's art station page. That said, a more cerebral understanding of how… -
Re: Anyone else here not play any video games?
The flipside of that is someone who always eats out and doesn't know how to cook. Like with everything there is a balance that needs to be struck. I think it even needs to skew heavily toward not playing games when a person is starting out or learning. Using a justification for playing games can end up stunting a person's… -
Re: Anyone else here not play any video games?
I'm in my last month of college and i love games though i don't play anywhere as much as i used to. I manly game right now because all of my best friends that i have known for like 6 year are in america (I'm from Canada) and gaming is the only way I can vent out my stress and spend time with the people I care about. I do… -
Re: Anyone else here not play any video games?
Yep, I completely agree with that. For example, I never finished Homefront: The Revolution, but realllllly wanted to take a look at how they did their guns. Really impressive work overall and they were able to get a lot of personality into their wear. Going forward with that, it's nice to see how other FPS handle or… -
Re: Anyone else here not play any video games?
I think we are still in an infancy that might be accelerated with the billions invested in VR and the prevalence of Indie development. Where artists might to a lesser degree see themselves as cogs in the machinery. Where they do not aspire to be 3d modelers, Texture Artists, Animators or some other combination of visual… -
Re: Anyone else here not play any video games?
I look at games as any other hobby you might have (mountain biking, skating, movies, outdoors, etc) If you spend a lot of time on it, it will make you unproductive on the rest of "life" (work, family, etc). Discipline, that's all. -
Re: Anyone else here not play any video games?
Ahhhh i'm not alone! The fact of the matter is, who has the time? I haven't 'made it'. Any free-time I have needs to be spent working at my craft! Do I love games? YES! That's why i'm in this, it's my favorite medium to experience a story. When I was younger i certainly was a gamer, but i also just....had no… -
Re: Anyone else here not play any video games?
I'd argue that directors who don't watch movies will possibly make more unique and potentially groundbreaking films, than someone so entrenched in what should and shouldn't be done. I'm sure I've heard a favorite director of mine talking about how they don't watch films. I'd argue the important thing with film is visuals… -
Re: Anyone else here not play any video games?
I agree wholeheartedly with @teaandcigarettes. I almost thought of it as a badge of honor not to play video games when I was working hard to get into the industry. And that may have been due to time restraints aswell, didn't really have time for much else than school and portfolio work. ^^ I don't judge anyone for not… -
Re: Anyone else here not play any video games?
I've been in and out of the 'not playing games at all' thing in the past. Usually during tough deadlines, crunch time, etc. What I find is that it is important to me to go back to playing games from time to time because it helps me contextualize what I'm doing. I did spent months just working, not seeing friends, no video…
