Viva La Resolution

Posted by Zonk on Monday May 9, 2005 @06:23AM from the the-resolution-will-be-broadcast dept.

Via Games*Design*Art*Culture, a post over on the O'Reilly network discussing an unofficial "anthem" for the GDC entitled Viva La Resolution. From the post: "So imagine an alternate universe in which a major game publisher--Microsoft, say--actually embraced the notion that games are an artform and encouraged innovation. If that were to happen, they might conceivably commission a song like this to get game developers excited and pumped up and ready to go. Now here's the weirdness---apparently, they did commission the song, from the Fatman (George Sanger, one of the industry's best-known composers)--and then canned it when they heard it and found out what it was...Guess it wasn't the message they wanted, eh?" Update: 05/10 03:47 GMT by Z : Mirrors for the song can be found here and here.

I thought they did this already... by ReverendLoki · 2005-05-09 06:51 · Score: 3, Funny

They did this once before, I thought. Some performance artist did a quasi-rap for them once, but the lyrics ("Developers, developers, developers, developers, developers...") were just to repetitive, even for the dance clubs, and it just never caught on...
