I spent too much time idolizing over the new Star Wars constantly swiping through different low-end sites explaining every little detail from trailers and information. However relevant info about VFX went a miss, excluding one very interesting point that the directors managed to keep silent. The point being that the Lake District was used for scenes in Alderaan. A full action scene was shot with little to no information being leaked to the thousands of hikers that scale mountains on a daily basis, whether it comes down to very desecrate filming, or a vast marketing team that wiped every bit of leaked news off the face of the Earth, either way good job
GAMES
Like Star Wars the games industry has its own powerhouse, of course being Fallout 4. I could spend hours simply watching screenshots of this game and not get bored. However the almighty Todd Howard has practically thrown news at us, whether it be the '400+ hours of gameplay', or the '10,000 lines of dialogue for the main character alone'. Fallout 4 looks set to steamroll this year, crushing every other entry that gets in its way, and reaping all the gold along the way.
ANIMATION
The only real animations that iv'e watched faithfully are those of Miyazaki, the genius behind films such as The Wind Rises, Ponyo, and Spirited Away. His movies follow the anime style, using 2d elements to convey the often mind-bending story. The Wind Rises was his last film, and shortly after its release Miyazaki announced his retirement, however i'm not sure if he can resist putting pen to paper with more ideas.
