My Favourite Game Daniel Avery

Edge

December 2017

The DJ and producer waxes on about Nintendo consoles and the link between game music and techno

Daniel Avery is a DJ and producer based in London, frequently listed among the top DJs in the underground club scene. He has recorded mixes for Fabric and DJ-Kicks and produced his own dance album, Drone Logic. With new music set to release soon, he takes time out of the studio to talk about his other enduring passion.

What was the first game you played?

It was definitely Super Mario Bros on the NES round my friend’s house. Being in that room is one of my earliest memories. Seeing my obsession with it all, my parents bought me a SNES with Super Mario World for my birthday. That was back in 1992. I’ve still got it.

Did that put you in the Nintendo camp?

I dug it all really. My friend had a Mega Drive and then a Saturn, which we played for days. I loved the PlayStation but I’ve probably poured more hours into the N64 than any other console. All the systems felt entirely different back then.

Games were a big obsession of yours growing up, then?

Possessor(s)

After three rounds of layoffs this year and Hyper Light Breaker’s curtailed development in early access, a lot seems to rest for Heart Machine on this plucky Metroidvania side project. The studio has an obvious knack for conjuring up fascinating fantasy worlds, but since its compact debut, Hyper Light Drifter, it’s been less obvious whether it can manage projects of a larger scale. And perhaps, on that count, even the modest Possessor(s) isn’t quite modest enough — it feels as much a victim of the company’s production woes as a showcase for its creative talent.

Street Fighter 6

Superstition might suggest that even numbers are more auspicious for the series, but it's fairer to say that Capcom learned from the mistakes of Street Fighter V and launched a fighting game that doesn't just feel like a full package, but one that has foundations to build on in future updates.

The Outer Worlds 2

There's always a risk in imitating something regarded as a classic: if it offers a template for success, it could just as easily invite unfavourable comparison. Obsidian Entertainment's Fallout: New Vegas has gained that reputation in the 15 years since its release, and while the original The Outer Worlds, led by Fallout creators Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky, referenced that series without aping it, the sequel zeroes in on New Vegas as its direct source of inspiration. This explains both why The Outer Worlds 2 is a success and why it can't quite stand tall as a creation with its own identity.
