Evoke 2014

In this session we're taking a look at the narrative in demos and what narrative can achieve in a demo by comparing two classic demos. Hardwired (Silents & Crionics) and Odyssey (Alcatraz). These two demos were competing in the same year and the competition was won by Odyssey, even though it was the technologically less impressive demo. We'll try to find out the reason why by making a beat by beat comparison of the implied or overt narratives of these videos. This process will yield valuable lessons to be utilized in future works.
