An interesting interview with Warren Spector has been posted at Computer & Video Games. It concentrates on the future of computer games, and mentions titles like Thief 3 or Deus Ex 2. Warren says that most innovation happens on the consoles, nowadays:
Sad to say, there isn't much that excites me about the computer gaming scene these days. Seems like most of the innovation is happening in the console space right now. Computer game developers and publishers seem content to rehash old ideas and hope strong licenses will keep players interested and coming back for more. Battlefield 1942 is a nice change of pace. And I do see hope for the future in the stuff the Deus Ex 2 and Thief 3 teams are doing, of course! Beyond that, you have to start by looking at Doom 3. Even if it ends up being nothing more than a graphically over-the-top version of the game id's been making forever (and I'm not saying that's going to be the case - I really have no idea how the game will play), it looks SO impressive graphically, maybe it'll push other developers to greater creative heights. And any year that offers the prospect of new games from Valve promises to be a good one for computer gaming. Come on, Valve - I wanna play Half Life 2! |
