'Playing Hard' Tells the story of For Honor
2019年04月10日
A documentary called Playing Hard which tells the story of For Honor and how Ubisoft produced the game is now on Netflix. The documentary that takes a look inside the Ubisoft offices was originally released last year and has made the rounds at different screening events and has been sold in a physical format, and it’s now available on the streaming platform. Jason VandenBerghe, the game’s creative director, and other figureheads involved with the game’s development make candid appearances in the documentary.
The film is a stark look at the high costs of triple-A game development. For Honor’s creative director, Jason VandenBerghe gradually becomes disillusioned as the game moved beyond his original vision and out of his hands. Meanwhile, producer Stéphane Cardin burns out and leaves the team to undergo therapy just months before For Honor ships. Luc Duchaine, For Honor’s publicist, sees his health decline as he travels the world to help drum up interest in the game.

“Never before have viewers been exposed to the incredible human machine that is required to create such a large-scale game,” Chartier writes on Playing Hard’s official web page. Chartier notes that after several months of shooting, his access to the production floor was revoked. After “many months and discussions,” he was allowed back. “Ubisoft bet on transparency, a quality that is missing in the game industry,” Chartier writes, noting that Ubisoft had no say over the film’s final cut.
"As the production team grows from 40 to 500 people, we witness the human theatre involved in creating and launching a major video game," the video description states. "In the world's biggest video game studio, a constantly growing team works on the creation of For Honor, a game that stages an epic war between Vikings, knights, and samurai. Like the game's characters, the main creators will face adversity that will take their personal lives to the breaking point.
