Rise Of The Video Game S01E03 DSR XviD-SSTV
After 5 days of waiting since last Wednesday, Level Three has arrived! In the early 90s video games spouted from the 2D limitations and gradually stepped it up to 3D, well – sort of. Doom and Castle Wolfenstein 3D rendered in psedo-3D, being that the game used ray casting, a special case of ray tracing. This technique sent out one ray for each column of pixels, checked if it intersected a wall, and drew textures on the screen accordingly, creating a one dimensional depth buffer against which to clip the scaled sprites that represented enemies, powerups, and props.
LEVEL THREE: With games like Castle Wolfenstein 3-D and Doom, video games grew from their primitive 2-D roots into richly detailed 3-D worlds. These groundbreaking 3-D games led the industry down new paths, both thrilling and troubling. Designers now had the technology to create games that accurately simulated the real world. For the first time, game designers had to grapple with a difficult question — how long before a game was nearly indistinguishable from reality? For all the controversy surrounding the first-person shooter genre in video games, its popularity was undeniable. And in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the same government that fought to regulate video games quickly designed their own as a recruiting tool for the Army. America’s Army was born and an even more sensitive debate arose as to the morality of recruiting young men for real war through the fun of a video game. Were games desensitizing us to the very real pain of violence and war? And more importantly, were video games leading us on a march towards virtual war? Some people interviewed in this episode include Colonel Casey Wardynski (director and project originator of America’s Army) and Asi Burak (producer of Peacemaker — a computer game simulation of the Israeli-Arab conflict).

But is this better than Halo 3?
i think the question is, are you queerer than halo 3?
I already saw this show like a year ago, it was quite interesting.
First part was good. Second part skipped a lot of stuff. This one looks like it sucks.
The last two episodes completely missed out key games that shaped the course of video history Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat and Resident Evil 1.
NICE!! thanks i’ve been waitin for this! cant wait for the next 1.
And this is way better than halo 3!! KONG!!!!!!!
Thank goodness, I was starting to fear there wasn’t going to be a release of this, I couldn’t find it anywhere!
THANKS RLSLOG!
JUST IGNORE THE GUY WITH “IS THIS BETTER THEN HALO3″
IF YOU WANT IT TO STOP JUST DONT GIVE THEM ATTENTION EVENTUALLY THEY WILL STOP! if nobody replies to it
i just hope the results of the next poll to be “yes” so they can shut up these morons…
There training us to fight virtual wars using robots controlled by our computers. Imagine a war where no one dies except the robots.
YA THAT WOULD B POINTLESS!!!
@kebrus
Unfortunately, it looks like free speech is winning.
Damn, down with free speech!
TOYS the movie hath predicted the future of warfare.
RS please
Made a quick greasemonkey script to remove the H@lo comments: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/16160
Hmm…speaking of video games where the HELL is the release of Universe at War! I thought the scene would jump on that stuff! That game is awesome!
I am better than HALO 3!
I am better than H@LO 3!
I think halo is a pretty cool guy. eh kills aleins and doesnt afraid of anything.
SEED SEED SEED SEED PLEASE !
spaceb: I’m sorry but you’re stupid. This series premiered in November this year.
@hikaricore
Not in here, we’re getting reruns actually.
it was leaked a year ago as a 3 part.
Halo 3 is for phags
This is a cool show
@21 YOU are the stupid, this is an old show. You’re watching a rerun I already saw all the episodes long time ago.
@25 No, you did not see all the episodes a long time ago. Don’t lie.
@spaceb
You are thinking of the series called History of the Video Game. That was shown last year.
This series is called Rise of the Video Game. It has not been shown in previous years.
@25 I dont lie.
@27 It could be… here’s the link to the show: http://www.tudiscovery.com/videogame/
Plus all the topics discussed in this video I already seen it on Discovery channel long time ago, I’m afraid this is not a premiere as many of you think.
Oh finally. Been waiting for the rest of the series.
On a side note doe’s anyone know when the next episode of the Valley of the sexdoll documentary will be released?
Yeah they forgot heaps of good games. Like in the second ep they completely left out the super nes. Chrono Trigger… All of the goodins.
The memories… When are we going to get the 3rd chrono, chrono break.
Probably my most favourite game of all time. Crysis can go to hell, I would rather finish CT again.
hai2u
total rubbish
Why are you still promoting this pointless remake/repost release ?
The real/original series was “I, Videogame” !
Test?
i think people are expecting this show to be like a history of video games, its not. The episodes I’ve seen have been more about how video games came to be what they are today.
the rar files seem to be corrupt for me any one else getting this?
if you want to watch a good doc. about games watch “king of kong”
Ive seen King of Kong. Yeah they are good players but were talking about a single bit video game. In comparison its substantialy easier than todays video games. No game that I know of in like the last 20 years uses 1 button.
Just checked the discovery channel page, and the synopsis for I, Videogame is identical to this. I guess it’s the same show under a different title and The Discovery channel people are really lazy lately. Anyway, if you haven’t watched the old show (like me) you might as well download this one.
I’ve watched the first 2 episodes of this Docu serie and the first episode was pretty good for a Discovery docu.
The second episode it dropped rapidly in correctness and they start missing out on so many games that made the video gaming what it is today. At that point I started to wonder who was providing the info as all the interviewed people seem to work for, or have connections with, large companies.
This episode is as low as one can get. There’s very limited views from the other side. Seeing that any docu should live by word and counter word to give you as viewer a full image of the story. This episode Discovery throws out that rule and goes on a full recruitment for the US military.
After the last break in the episode one remark pissed me off good.
“The explosion of 3d technology would have happened without the armed forces”
Can you say B0LL0CKS?
I’ve been watching some 25mins of Military propaganda with almost no other opinion shown to counter any of the arguments given in this episode.
For me this is the last episode I’ll ever see of this serie as it goes down the drain fast when it comes down to the factual information.
Doom/Wolfenstein is shown as the first FPS game while I was playing FPS games in a RPG setting on my Amiga before Doom/Wolfenstein was made. And I mean years before those games were developed.
It seems that Discovery lacks any good editors who do any research outside the information given by the big software producing companies.
It’s like M$ saying that without windows there wouldn’t be any computers on the planet when most of us know that there were computers before M$ starting producing Windows.
In my eyes this serie is giving only a very limited view on the history of video games.
Small typo.
It should be…
“The explosion of 3d technology wouldn’t have happened without the armed forces”
