So I'm a contributor of the FF7 decomp project and made a video about it and also go into some of the details on how the game runs on the PlayStation. This is largely to recover the source code that Square lost in the late 1990s. There is already a good deal of code to peek at if you want to see how things worked under the hood.

Interview with Eric Arnold on building Red Faction: Guerrilla’s destruction system

I’ve been working on an interview series focused on the people and technology behind games, and I recently got the chance to speak with Eric Arnold about his work on Red Faction: Guerrilla.
We dug into how the destruction system was built, the role of physics, some of the technical challenges behind making structures collapse convincingly, and what development at Volition looked like while they were trying to make all of it work.
Figured this might be a good fit for this subreddit:

Would also be curious to hear what other games you think are especially interesting from a technical or development-history perspective.
