Purdy has worked on cinematics for many games before. “But also, we’re kind of creating a 3D animated feature within this video game.”

“We are game devs, because we’re dealing with all the same things that game devs deal with,” he explains. Purdy likens the cinematic department to a movie production company nested within a game studio. Purdy calls himself a “character-focused director”, and if you’ve played Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, it’s no surprise to learn how much effort was put into performances, both from the actors who played the characters and the game’s cinematic department. Everybody in the room was like, ‘Oh my god.’ In that moment you knew, holy crap, the scene is working.” “I remember you could feel it like a flood of emotion.

“The way Judith delivered it was so heartfelt and tender,” he says. Purdy says that little change brought the entire scene to another level. Don’t play it as a joke, just play it lovingly like it’s your last ‘I love you.’” “I talked with Judith and I said, ‘Look, let’s try to put that joke in. Even Judith was kind of like, ‘I’m not sure how to make this work.’” They did a couple takes without the joke, but after consulting with narrative director Mary DeMarle, Purdy found a way to make it fit. “How does that joke fit? It doesn’t feel right to me. “It’s such an emotional, heartfelt scene,” Purdy says. Related: Luke Shaw Is Star-Lord Now, But Which Other Premier League Footballers Are Secretly Superheroes? When shooting the scene, neither Purdy nor Judith Baribeau, the actor who plays Ko-Rel, were confident that joke would work. When Peter realizes Nikki is adopted, he asks Ko-Rel if that means he isn’t a dad, to which Ko-Rel playfully responds, “Well, you’re not her dad,” implying that Starlord could have any number of offspring spread across the universe. Right in the middle of all this heartbreak, Ko-Rel cracks a joke. It’s a heart-wrenching sequence that puts Peter in an impossible position to not only console a grieving teenager, but to also convince her to abandon the dream - a fantasy world where she gets to celebrate her mom’s birthday on a loop - less Magus will use her to destroy the entire Galaxy. Ko-Rel tells Peter that she’s dead, and it’s his job to help Nikki understand that her mom isn’t coming back. For Star-Lord, it’s the second time you enter Nikki’s dream in Chapter 15: Broken Promises. * Spoilers follow for Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy*ĭarryl Purdy, cinematics director of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, has a favorite scene for every character.
