[@TonyDemetriou]

Yes! I want you to bore me with algorithms!
This talk was so amazing I could listen for days.

[@MaaveMaave]

[@latbat58]

Is he a nerd or a chad? Lol
Great talk

[@P3C0L4]

cant wait for Dying light 2 and see how they improved it even more

[@Nirghaal]

That's very promising for DL2 !

[@trizard3940]

I liked the old parkour in the e3 version of dying light but i understand why they changed it. It wasn't as fluid and wasn't as fast paste but still it looked better

[@Vospi]

The title of the video sounds like a wordplay. :)

[@vaazon]

When Bartosz talks about freerunning and how Assassin's Creed was simplified, it hurts. What could have been... but Ubisoft decided that players are stupid and dropped the more advanced mechanics from Ezio trilogy, Unity and Syndicate.

[@KRG30001]

Great talk

[@LEOvsMAO]

Maybe those journalist had just an hangover?

[@muzboz]

[@RumpelstilskinVonRut]

Incredible presentation, mate! Thanks a lot!

[@PyromancerRift]

Make runing unlockable behind a paywall. Seems like it's a new trend to make bad games and fix them after people pay.

[@sayanbiswas7364]

4:06: True meaning of open world environment? Where are those guys? Or is GDC too much publicity before release?

[@randomrandom450]

Not sure what you are trying to say. Are you trying to say that Dying Light wasnt open world enough ?

[@dirtyandnasty9011]

Thank you very much, this is pure gold !!!

[@fkknsikk]

You should get together with the Windlands people and make something insane.

[@Largentina.]

No. These guys are independent. Ubisoft, the developers of Wildlands (a game that you misspelled) are a terrible company that haven't made a good videogame in years. That collaboration would never occur.

[@unicestwiacznoworodkow7]

@@Largentina. he's talking about a game called Windlands not about ghost recon wildlands bro
