About Google Spotlight Stories: Special Delivery

Emmy award-winning platform, Google Spotlight Stories, presents Special Delivery VR, an interactive experience by Academy Award-winning studio, Aardman Animations (creators of Wallace and Gromit and Shaun the Sheep).

Follow the adventures of a humble caretaker, who is disturbed by a mysterious stranger on the roof. Who’s there? And the chase begins... room to room... up and down... somehow, mysteriously, just out of sight. But the elusive stranger is always one step ahead, leaving behind only a trail of gifts...

Игра "Special Delivery" от Google Spotlight Stories - это чарующая и трогательная короткометражка, которая мастерски использует возможности виртуальной реальности. Простая, но душевная история о дружбе и взаимопомощи в сочетании с интерактивным повествованием создают незабываемый опыт. Особое внимание к деталям окружения и персонажей, а также возможность рассматривать сцену с разных углов, добавляют глубины и вовлеченности. Анимация выполнена на высочайшем уровне, а саундтрек прекрасно дополняет атмосферу. Хотя продолжительность и может показаться небольшой, "Special Delivery" оставляет после себя приятное и теплое чувство, демонстрируя потенциал VR для рассказывания историй. Это прекрасный пример того, как короткометражный формат может быть одновременно развлекательным и эмоциональным. Рекомендуется к просмотру всем, кто интересуется виртуальной реальностью и анимацией.

"Google Spotlight Stories: Special Delivery" is not a game. Games contain meaningful gamelike interaction and game loops, which are absent in this "art experience". Instead of being a game, "Google Spotlight Stories: Special Delivery" is a VR video from Aardman (Wallace and Gromit) without any of their famous characters, instead, we get a small, short CGI animation with some cartoon characters and a Christmas theme. Yes, a glorified Youtube video. There was a video section on Steam, but it's deprecated and basically closed, so filmmakers seem to just try to abuse the Steam games section instead. Why is this good for gamers? It's not. Steam was never intended to compete with Youtube, and Google owns Youtube, so it's unclear why they can't work out how to upload videos to Youtube when they own the platform. So they're pushing Youtube videos to Steam??? For those unfamiliar with what actually makes something a game, a "game loop" describes the interaction and feedback a gamer has when playing a game. Tetris, for example, has a game loop where a random block appears, the gamer interacts with the block to position it, and then the game decides if that finishes a row or not, …

A charming, playful VR chase from Aardman. Full of that classic Wallace & Gromit stop-motion charm. A short, sweet, and wonderfully interactive experience.
