I'd totally recommend seeing him live if you get the opportunity. He was honestly amazing. And in playing the songs live, he fancied them up even more. It's impressive that even at his level of skill he can continue to improve. There's a mastery of the instrument there that's beyond my understanding. It was truly a joy to watch him perform.
I love that game! If you're into Resident Evil, Shinji Mikami worked on it with Suda51. It bears a lot of similarities in terms of its gameplay to Resident Evil 4. Attitude, characters, and story is all Suda though.
He does play harp guitar, but that's more like a guitar and a bass together. He uses the body of the guitar to do percussion, so in a way it's like he plays all of the instruments. I think the only cover songs he's done of non-fingerstyle guitarists are Africa and Everybody Wants to Rule the World.
Luca Stricagnoli is another fingerstyle guitarist and he does all sorts of crazy covers, so maybe he's the one you're thinking of. Though I can't remember if he's covered SOAD.
Also, my voice is annoying (as am I), but you're free to torture yourself with old PixlTalk episodes.
Damn. That's a bummer to hear, but I can believe that it might be rough for me too based on WipEout. I'll have to try it out later.
It definitely is a good fit for it, though I do think they could've done the same game sans VR.
That Wreck It Ralph game sounds cool, I'll have to look into it!
For the price, I think it's a great buy!
You should totally try it! It's got great personality and fun set of characters. I really enjoy playing it in the summer due to the summer camp setting of the game. Something feels right about playing it on a warm summer night.
I don't find VR very relaxing. It's cool for sure, but it feels very restrictive right now with the headset. It's going to need to come a long way before that's the case.
While I have a warmer opinion of VR than before I tried it, I still firmly believe it's a novelty. I'd still prefer to play games sans a head set while casually sitting on my couch. I like that it enables new experiences, but it's an augmentation of gaming options, not a replacement for what's there now.
Whoop, whoop!
