Resurrection
The concept of resurrection is central to the way many games work. Elle Osili-Wood takes a look at how the idea of death and rebirth inhabits the gaming world.
The concept of resurrection is central to the way many games work and enables you to learn. Through titles such as Life is Strange (Jonathan Morali), The Sims (Ilan Eshkeri) and Dark Souls III (Yuka Kitamura), Elle Osili-Wood takes a look at how the idea of death and rebirth inhabits the gaming world. Video games are almost uniquely placed to explore questions like would you still be the same person if you could undo your biggest regret? And, if you could copy yourself, which would be the real you?
Her guest is the award-winning composer Erik Desiderio who talks about playing ancient Norse instruments on his soundtrack for Last Epoch, the excitement of scoring for Star Trek Fleet Command and the surge in popularity of video game music concerts.
