Derek Daniels, one of the combat designers on God of War 2, did a really cool write up on why some games just feel better than others. He is actually doing a series of write ups about this...the latest one is on the jump. I love jumping. the combat guys make fun of me for my love of jumping in games...but I just keep on jumping.

If you have any interest in game design or understanding the games you play and why they are good I would recommend reading it. Plus, Derek is a vegetarian. I have no idea what that has to do with anything...but I typed it...and being someone who doesnt really believe in the delete key all that much..I'm sticking with it. So just read it, you're kids with thank you.

Or check out the comment battle Dave and I have going...but root for me 'cause I am gonna kick his ass. Then I will probably get fired.:) Sweet. time to sleep.

Hey Cory, I've been reading your blog for a long time, but have yet to post until now. But I was wondering if you have found any good God of War fansites yet, as I have not. Sorry for not having much relevance to this particular post.

Good luck with the game!

Very interesting...This is what Epic is working with while creating Unreal Tournament 2007. I know there different genres, but many fans had a hard time moving from UT to UT03-04 because the jumping and movement had been enhanced significantly. And because of this it was more floaty and less in your face action that so many loved in the first one. Also, while creating maps in UnrealEd I noticed because of wall dodges, double jumps and other mechanics, maps have to be HUGE! This in turn takes me out of feeling like I’m in an arena and more like I have just been shrunk by Rick Moranis. It’s stuff like this that surprises me how much it impacts the overall game and tells me why we need knowledgeable game designers.

P.S. I really want to post over there, but keep on getting this ‘ilead tracker’ thingy and my computer from home/work freaks out. Is anyone else getting this while visiting Derek’s page? I’ll keep on trying though.
