Individual, professionally framed moments where a revolutionary mechanic makes perfect sense. My all-time favorite videogame experiences feel like keystones sliding into place. Here are my choices for the best Normandy scenes in the history of gaming. However we should not forget those sequences-they’re responsible for igniting the WWII craze and videogames grew up in a lot of ways once they made it to D-Day. We’ve all stormed that beach so many times over the last 10 years that it’s made one of the most singular images in history surprisingly mundane. The invasion of Normandy was the central showpiece of any World War II game worth its salt.
I’m not in mourning or anything, but there was something unambiguously fun about shooting Nazis. We were so ready for them to leave our lives when they did, and now I’m honestly a little bit sad that they’re gone. The setting propped up multi-million dollar franchises ( Call of Duty, Medal of Honor), adored cult favorites ( Brothers in Arms) and abysmal, industry-destroying shuffleware ( Hour of Victory). It’s weird to think that only 10 years ago the World War II first-person shooter was the most played-out genre in all of gaming.
