[AlexM]

Hey guys the GDC vault put some new videos up featuring classic post mortems.

The ones that interest me in particular are the Doom and Out of This World post mortems.

Aye its awesome, been watching the Another World one, Chahi for prez!

I was at the Doom post mortem and it was really cool, I would recommend watching.

It was cool to see the room that forced them to use BSP, and the old demos, and whatnot.

watched the "another world" and "bejeweled" ones

these are pure gold i highly recommend them to everyone !

Just saw the one on Doom. All respect to Hall, but I would have preferred it if it was just Romero that had the talk. Most of his comments kinda derailed it. Anyway, Doom Alphas = OSSIM! Makes me wanna read Masters of Doom again

Anyone know how to view these slides? I opened a presentation.xml with Powerpoint '07 and it says it doesn't recognize some of the XML objects and fails.

Microsoft has a standalone powerpoint viewer that might work. It's free too.

Is that what you used to view them? I'd be incredibly surprised if that worked but the full version of Powerpoint didn't. I don't know about this version, but I know the 2010 viewer won't open XML, only ppt files.

Havent tried looking at any slides on GDC, I just read the ones that go along with the video. That's just what I've used in the past to view ppt slides that OpenOffice butchers.

Hmmm I had similar problems with the slides when I tried checking them out last year, never really got em working. This time I'm just checking the free post mortems, really ought to get a login for the rest of this stuff, some of it looks pretty good.

Btw, both the Prince of Persia and Populus ones are quite good~
