ho ho ho...
I've read some bullshit in my time, but
this takes the biscuit...
My favourite bit is
"In the past studios had a challenge to bring the film experience right into the game or the game experience right into the film – that created a lot of confusion for consumers"Just how stupid do you have to be to be confused whether you're watching a film or playing a game or, frankly, give a fuck either way. Does
"we’re frontloading experience and putting together a thin model with executive-level talent that is unencumbered by heavy process in order to be able to nurture and cultivate ideas that work efficiently and effectively." really mean we'll employ one or two vastly salaried executives and do the rest using cheap outsource labour?
boo hoo hoo
The Duke is dead...I liked Wolfenstein, and I liked Doom but I
loved Duke Nukem 3D. It was the cheesy humour, the crazy weapons and the whole fun thing. Remember fun? Before games had to replay WW2 endlessly, or save civilisations from bestial alien hordes (read: foreigners and non-christians).
I'm not sure the Duke would have made the transition to the current HDR pimped 3D engines, but it doesn't look like I'm ever going to find out. 'When it's done' has become 'It's done...'
