You could replay the game and you'd get little info nodes at certain places that explained how they designed things. It's pretty cool to see the thought process that goes into it, though it is a little concerning how many of them explain just how they manipulate you into doing what they want. --- http://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif http://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif http://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif So?

Maze_ 04/12/22 6:38:17 AM #9:	A few games do that Tomb Raider anniversary did that so did Cry of Fear but I agree, I wish more games did it. Problem is AAA games have 2,000 people working on them for 2-7 years across multiple studios so it's hard to get a "developer " commentary of Far Cry 6 for example --- When the going gets tough, the tough go have a little cry in the corner.
