Patrick Hickey Jr., Jason Weesner (Foreword)
Featuring interviews with the creators of 43 popular video games–including Spyro the Dragon, Syphon Filter, NFL GameDay 98 and Final Fantasy VII this book gives a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of some of the most influential and iconic (and sometimes forgotten) games of the original PlayStation era. Recounting endless hours of painstaking development, the challenges of working with mega publishers and the uncertainties of public reception, the interviewees reveal the creative processes that produced some of gaming’s classic titles.
