Description
Anthology Yu Suzuki the master of Sega - Geeks Line
As a visionary and prodigious programmer, Yū Suzuki has established SEGA as one of the major players in the industry. From spectacular arcade terminals (After Burner), to 3D innovations (Virtua Fighter), to its masterpiece on console (Shenmue), his creativity has shaken up the usual codes.
He remains one of the most popular figures in video games, as evidenced by his numerous conferences around the world, as well as the craze for Shenmue III.
This book presents Yū Suzuki as he is, through his childhood and adolescence, his philosophy of the game, his visions, his cult titles and unfinished projects.
