Personally I find there is just as much if not more creativity among game makers as there is among feature filmmakers.

Because videogames are so inherently influenced by movies, to take a movie and literally create a videogame out of it, you're immediately setting limitations and expectations on what that game can be.

In the past, a lot of films based on video games think that the audience wants to experience what it's like to play the game, and that's absolutely not the case.

It seems astounding to me now that the video games are perhaps as important as the movie themselves. And people will spend 2 or 3 years obsessing about the video game in exactly the same way that they'd be obsessing about the movie if they were working on that.

I think it would be impossible to make a movie about video games if there wasn't some violence that we know from video games.

While films are a very visual and emotional artistic medium, video games take it one step further into the realm of a unique personal experience.

There are too many games being developed by people that have no business creating games.

Video games are so popular these days, getting the opportunity to star in one is something special. More people should do it.

We've gotten to a point where it costs so much money to make a movie that directors and filmmakers feel they have to make sure that everybody gets it. And that's an unfortunate development, I think, in a lot of narratives floating around in the film industry.

With a movie, it's probably easier to sustain intensity and seriousness over the 90-minute duration. But in an open-world game it becomes exhausting, demotivating and even uninteresting for the player.
