I watched a good chunk of episode 1 yesterday and I'm so impressed by this doc.
I love the intro, where they forego the cheesy naration and instead show different devs revving up for the launch of the Dreamcast, assembling their team, sharing their background/context. really superb
"it was the most powerful machine on the market at the time, and it got us excited" brought me a tear. As a Dreamcast fanboy(and let's be honest here : I'm a straight up Sega mega-fanboy too) this is pure joy to my ears. It's so interesting to hear the devs say "with this new found power we were now able to do this and this". not just on an aesthetic level, but on a gameplay level too. They were finally able to realize any idea they wanted in a 3D environnement.
"Ikaruga was my 2nd STG. My first STG was Radiant Silvergun"... Gat Dayum, talk about a high batting average early in your STG track record

I really liked the story of the parallel development of Rez and Space Channel 5 (I liked every bit in this doc tbh). The cycle of the moon and sun. The sunny days bring with them the mood to work on SC5 and when the darkness appears and the clubs get going with techno music blaring for the young, hip crowd, then a trance gets going and the mood becomes right to dive into the development of Rez. badass. I like how he revealed that he'd go have a drink every night with Kenji Eno and others, all young devs hanging out in the club and sharing ideas and shooting the shit. THIS is where a doc like this shines. THIS is the kind of info we want more of. For real.
