Games for a Jilted Generation
Following up on my post on dystopian music video, here is a short selection of clips from dark futuristic video games (mainly from the 90's).
- Syndicate cinematic introduction and some gameplay
- The sequel, Syndicate Wars, sucked about as much as its cinematic introduction
- Introduction of Beneath a Steel Sky (now free and works great in ScummVM)
- Origin's System Shock. Never liked the game but pretty descent cinematic for that time.
- Fantastic 16-bit aesthetics: Snatcher
- Cheesy montage from the Blade Runner adventure game
- Intro movie to the original Command & Conquer
- Last but not least, simply the best dystopian game ever: Dreamweb (that music is killing me)
Missing in the selection : Bloodnet, Fade to Black, Flashback, Subwar 2050, ...
