A lot of #esports #casting/commentary is patterned after live sports commentary, but there are two big things that esports often have that IRL sports don't have:-

  • An in-game setting that casts the players in a character role against a dramatic backdrop;
  • The ability to replay an exact in-game recording of a match from any camera angle.

    • When I've done casts (most recently #ForgedAllianceForever) I've used both of these a little, but I wonder if there's a space or audience for esports casts in the style of documentary, a blow-by-blow account of a battle from the POV of an in-universe news reporter or military historian, editing together staged camera angles of the significant events to support that format, instead of giving an as-live commentary where invariably a lot of the action takes place off-screen.

    J'adore les #RTS avec énormément d'unités dans la veine de #totalannihilation et j'ai #planetaryAnnihilationTitans et #BeyondAllReason mais j'ai jamais lancé une partie par peur de la courbe d'apprentissage ultra sèche. J'admire aussi les gens derrière #ForgedAllianceForever car leur taf est juste dingue !
