set who is looking for a queen. about this kind of technology and if games can be here's a clip. reliably streamed over excuse me, what happened here? domestic internet connections. we had the best party. kanye showed up and dropped like a whole new album. one of the biggest comments that look around, we got we've had from our readers our as—is kicked! my queen! i'll never serve another. on our site is about the performance i must end my own life in the most and how fast the internet that painful way possible. you have at home is going to be able i don't think that she would want to support this kind you to, you know... of game streaming. who are you to know what a queen you know, people are struggling would or wouldn't want? to run 4k netflix, long youtube videos, and things like that, are you a queen? are you going to be able well, i mean, to the extent that all women are, yes. to have the internet speeds but no, no. to match that performance? i'm not a queen. imagine streaming tv and movies you know what she is, as data travelling down a one—way though, is an agent. is that a title? street in the direction it is a title. of your television, computer, maybe the best way to honour or mobile device. streaming video games the dead is to go on living. is a lot more complicated. yes. i pledge loyalty eternally to you, agent m. here we have a 2—way stream. no, no, no, i'm not interested in a subject. too late, it's done, in one direction, we've i've pledged the loyalty. i wish you'd said no, no, no before. and if you should die before i, got the graphics — i promise to end my own life... ..in the most painful way possible. now, you didn't laugh during that. that's the on—screen visuals — no. laughter. that's some of the best and then in the other direction we have the inputs that the player is making to control stuff in the film. the game they're playing. right. all of this has to happen did you laugh? no. incredibly quickly. i think that that character if it doesn't, well, is the funniest character in the film and i did have a few then the whole thing breaks down.
6:22 am
despite these reservations, games developers believe that chuckles during it. although quality might sometimes be an issue, modern home networks can handle it. the main problem is men in black was really good but you're right, didn't necessarily need all these sequels? it's not terrible, it's just terribly ordinary. there's an awful lot of visual effects going on, there's an awful lot of stuff your connectivity in your home being thrown at the screen, is better than ever. those internet companies have built but it felt very sort of throwaway network data centres closer and very disposable. to your home to bring a lot and it is tempting to say, oh well, of content already through video — it's because f gary grey has come netflix, youtube, et cetera — on board to direct it. so we can rely on a much better but actually, you know, infrastructure to bring the game. sonnenfeld was behind both microsoft's announcement comes the previous sequels, after tech giant google caused neither of them were as good a stir, signalling it as the first one. so although there are some wanted to get into gaming. charming performances, and i do think kumail nanjiani is, google says its new games streaming you know, from the big sick, service, called stadia, could signal the end and is a really funny of the physical console. writer and performer. google's making bold i think that's not anything claims about stadia like enough to paste over the cracks. and no console required. is that the hollywood way? that you just keep making sequels? some people are saying that the console is dead, if they're making money, is that true? why not keep making them? there used to be a law that a sequel the industry has millions will take two thirds of what the original took regardless and millions of customers who look of how good or bad it is, at the console experience that is no longer the case that they have as something but if you have name recognition, that is vital to their your money is safer, gaming experience. even if the film itself is frankly we're not here to try to take that not up to snuff. away or tell somebody that the choices they've made are wrong.
6:23 am
both microsoft and sony seem to be hedging their bets as a new more powerful playstation 5 console is already in the works and xbox has 0k. not up to snuff. announced project scarlett, right. which will be capable of 8k graphics the hummingbird project, with jesse eisenberg, and will do away with load times due is that up to snuff? to processing grunt. and will be backwards compatible with the entire xbox library of games. i think it is. and that's on the way it's a really weird little film. for november next year. games streaming may well be jesse eisenberg, he was so edgy the future, but it isn't over in social network, he plays someone for the physical console just yet. who is a trader, who bullies his cousin into leaving the organisation welcome to the indie zone. that they work for, and joining him in digging a trench from kansas to new york, down which he can put a fibre cable that will shave the time of trading from 17 ms to 16 ms. and this apparently will create a tiny opportunity — equivalent to the beating with understated booths of a hummingbird's wing — and a noticeable lack of queues, that will allow them this is where you will find true to get ahead of the game. the funny thing is it sounds terribly unpromising. originality on show. in fact, it's really gripping. there's a great performance by salma hayek as the boss you must blend seamlessly who doesn't want to let them go. into human society. it's got a touch of the speaking simulator werner herzog in it. is about a robot who's trying to infiltrate humanity — about somebody dedicating themselves just by having conversations to a dream which is mad like we're having now. which involves them burying this so players have to manipulate pipeline through rivers the mouth and the tongue and mountains, no matter what it is, to make their words come out.
6:24 am
they have to carry on going through a straight line. and you have to do it very quickly. because if you don't your face on the one hand, it is about family will start to explode, loyalty, on the other hand, because you're a robot. and humans find that it's about having the vision a little bit suspicious. of having a faster way of doing my teeth are falling out. 0h! something but it is about obsession oh no! it's all gone horribly wrong. and giving yourself over well, that's the way i end to an obsession and it can take most e3s, to be honest. over your life even to the detriment it's a place where you can sit of your health. down and talk about art. i actually thought earthnight is a hand—painted dragon it was really good. it is called the apocalypse, 2—d platformer, hummingbird project. you have to seek it out. love letter to classic games like mario and sonic i actually thought and old arcade games. it was really good. we the animals. it's a, i don't know, a coming—of—age drama? yes. three young kids growing up in a sort of dysfunctional household it's a procedurally generated in upstate new york. the father is prone to violence, the mother struggles to get out of bed. so the kids are left very much nightmare, i guess. to fend for themselves. what are like about this is, it felt, on the one hand, everything is trying to kill you. very, very naturalistic but it also had a real poetry to it. but everything is really beautiful. you're so close! here's a clip. what if it's pops? you are so close! yes! now you're a dragonslayer. i am a dragonslayer! do you have a painting you would like to play with? telephone rings. um, yeah, let's go with the scream. all right. sounds good. we have a minute and a half to try hello? and recreate the painting. a bit of that there and, um...
6:25 am
mami. ohhhh. or take a detour into how come you didn't alternative pop culture. boyfriend dungeon is a dating answer when i called you? because you sound so ugly. here, try. simulator dungeon crawler mash up. yo—yo, what's up? woman! basically, your weapons turn this is your husband talking to you right now. into beautiful people and you take you better act right! them out on dates to make what do you want from me? them grow stronger. dig at me, mami, talk to me. we love dating sims, but we always thought it would be i've been missing you. i've been missing you real bad. really fun to kind of break it up i know, mami, i know. with, like, some sort of action — i'm sorry. and that was combat for us. and, basically, we thought a lot of dating sims were really geared towards a certain kind of audience. no, baby, i'm sorry. it was very r rated, i think that's got a really lovely a lot of females wearing not natural tone to it and what i really a lot of things. so we kind of wanted to make a game like is on the one hand it has that charming naturalism, that felt like it welcomed us but it's also very poetic. and we have, like, male, female, non—binary options in the game and you decide to date whoever you want and we also have a cat if you decide you want to be single, ‘cause, you can be single and still have a fulfilling life. for example, you feel every drop i appreciate that. yes! of rain, you can feel the mud a trip to the indie zone always reminds me that gaming isn'tjust between their fingers when they're about consoles and big fat pcs. burrowing around in the ground. check out these. blinks are smart tabletop
6:26 am
there are moments in which it goes game pieces and each one to animation because the central knows its own game. it's like a nintendo game cartridge character, the youngest character draws and these animations kind and it can teach all the other of come to life. blinks how to play the game. and it deals with some very difficult subject matter, i will challenge you. it deals with kids coming to terms with their own sexuality, it deals with a violent relationship between their parents and trying to find their own way in the world. we are playing mortals. nice. and it's tempting to say it's ok, there we go. no! like that kind of movie terrence malick made before he went off the boil or the kind of thing david gordon green did purple. when he was making films like terrence malick before watchdogs legion is set in terrence malick went off the boil, but actually, i think the thing it's closest to is the florida project. a post—brexit dystopian near—future you know, that child's eye view of the world. the world is harsh and the world is tough, but actually it's london. being looked at through a child's eyes and it has a real poetic edge to it. it is a feature debut and i thought it was very, had a good run there for a while. very fine and effective piece of work. now it's all right. and the acting in that clip looked extraordinary. bombings. you literally thought you were just eavesdropping on those three kids having a completely normal, and people thrown in you know, charming and really tender cages like animals. a bleak surveillance state conversation about something where abuse of technology has led to huge unemployment, which is very difficult a privatised nhs and massive levels of civil unrest. it's not a particularly which is that their parents flattering picture of britain.
6:27 am
are having difficulties. before e3, i went behind the scenes i really liked it. at its developer ubisoft‘s studios good. in toronto, canada. best out? the brexit vote happened, dirty god. when we were 1.5 years so this is directed by sacha polak and it stars vicky knight. into development and we settled on london as a location and a big an vicky knight has never been in a feature film before, important decision for us never acted before, and she is astonishing. was to address it head on and say she plays somebody who is the survivor of an acid attack yes, this is part of our and she's trying world and backstory. to redefine her life. brexit in our game is not sort she is absolutely brilliant. i mean, honestly, seeing this of the cause of the problems performance you think she'd been we are depicting in the game world. in theatre all her life or before a camera all her life. it's a really natural but very, very complicated performance, and i think she's an absolute brexit, the causes of brexit really star in the making. the film itself is really good, are the causes of the problems again it deals with difficult in our world and that is really how we address it. subject matter in a way which is subtle and effective. in the game, the player assumes she is an absolute star, the role of an anti—authoritarian i thought her performance hacker, recruiting a team was extraordinary — of characters to help bring vicky knight, a name to watch for the future. down the regime. a large area of london has been mapped in this game and every single person that you meet in the city's streets is playable. as you interact with them, unique character, personality, and backstory is filled in for them by the game's artificial right. intelligence. we have video games my best out, for what it's worth, is rocket man. about the apocalypse, oh, rocket man. it was fabulous. i know you loved it. we have nuclear disasters,
6:28 am
i loved it. yeah, i absolutely loved it. we have world wars and now we have brexit which really means the rest and we both want to see it again, don't we? of the world is looking at brexit yeah, and as you said yourself, you come out of the cinema as a legitimate disaster and tht‘s quite fascinating in the fact that and you want to go straight back it's something that we should be taking seriously, in again and watch it it's not something that's just because it is so good. happening on our stage, it's happening on the world stage absolutely. highly recommended. if anyone who hasn't seen it. and that is particularly interesting and best dvd? and kind of scary. if beale street could talk, developers, along with many which is — it kind of got people who play games, overlooked, partly, regard them as a 21st—century art it was up for some awards, form which can and should deal but it didn't get the attention it deserved. with thought—provoking content. i think barryjenkins games are just another form of media is a brilliant director. and i loved this. and they are another part and what i loved most about it is it's a film about social of our culture. justice and imprisonment, we, as game developers, and a lot of very difficult stuff, in my opinion, not only should do but it is at heart a love story. this, we have a responsibility to do with another wonderful score by nicholas britell. this, to make games speak to broader and if people didn't see it cultural issues at large, in order to...not to educate in cinemas, and many people didn't, it didn't find the audience but provide that context for people it should have done, who choose to engage with games get it on dvd or blu—ray, as their primary form it's really fabulous. and barryjenkins did moonlight. of culture and entertainment. yeah, here did. art, movies, literature, moonlight, it is astonishing that film did as well as it did, and music all tackle difficult because it came out of nowhere, it was a little independent movie and challenging subject matter. thatjust won over the hearts of everyone who saw it. often it's a way of helping us we've got used to the fact that it was a huge hit, better understand our world, it started as a really,
6:29 am
really small movie thatjust and it seems the same found its audience — and deservedly so. it's actually great that that can still happen in today's hollywood. is true for videogames. it renews your faith in films when something like that can be discovered. that's is it for the short edition of click. because obviously there's a blockbuster market out there. you can catch the long version and it's great, i think, if you hop on over to iplayer that rocket man's done as well as well as it has as well. and you will find us on social media at @bbcclick. have you noticed what's because rocket man is a film is going on behind us? which takes risks, more classic gaming cabinets! than bohemian rhapsody did, best of three? but it still managed to find done. bye bye! an absolutely mainstream audience. so, yeah, we're in a pretty good period at the moment. people say cinema isn't as good as it used to be. barry norman said every year there are the same number of comparatively good and bad films itjust depends which one you look for. and we have a mixed bag every week, we have good and bad for you. and it is up to you to decide which are good and which are bad. anyway, mark, thank you very much indeed. thank you. that is it for this week. thank you so much for watching. 00:29:51,122 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 it's goodbye from both of us. good morning, welcome to breakfast with chris mason
