Former Rockstar Games developer Navid Khonsari has jumped from GTA and Max Payne to the Iranian Revolution in the new episodic game, 1979 Revolution, which will debut on mobile devices before heading to consoles. He talks about the game in this exclusive interview from the Sundance New Frontier showcase.
Games of History examines the history behind history-based videos for their authenticity, and the culture behind these games. Today's video is all about 1979 Revolution - the Iranian Revolution.
Josh Griffiths writes: "Khonsari and his team were right to be afraid. In August 2011, Amir Hekmati, was arrested on charges of spying while visiting his grandmother in Iran. Hekmati was also a game developer working on the Kuma War series, a first person shooter franchise set in the Middle East."
Josh Griffiths writes: "Historical games are incredibly important and can be a lot of fun, so why do they have such a poor track record when it comes to crowdfunding?"
I'm gonna venture to say that it's because they take more effort than 2d pixel plqtformers.
