Karateka | 2012 | 3D Remake of the Classic Game of Apple II | Playstation 3 PSN GAME
Karateka is a 1984 martial arts action game for the Apple II by Jordan Mechner. In February 2012, Mechner announced that he was leading a small independent development group to create a remake of Karateka for the Xbox 360 via Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation 3 via PlayStation Network. The remake concept followed his work for the 2010 film Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. He wanted a new project with a "guerrilla" feel and a much smaller scale than the film. He considered that nearly 30 years after the game's release, he was still being interviewed about Karateka. He envisioned retelling the story without the limitations of the Apple II. He was inspired by the resurgence of small, independent game development in 2010 and 2011, and games such as Limbo that "created a powerful emotional atmosphere within a limited budget and scope".
GAME RECORDING INFO:
PlayStation 3 was released in 2006, and although this generation still seems modern, it had its own particular characteristics. Like all videos on this channel, I try to simulate screens/TVs from the console era, and TVs from the 7th generation consoles had their particularities: wide borders, resolution usually 720p, the black color was not 100% and there were problems with burn-in. I tried to simulate a couple of this in the Bezel I created for this video. This game was not recorded on the original hardware.
