I don't want to criticize any other designers, but I have to say that many of the people involved in this industry - directors and producers - are trying to make their games more like movies. They are longing to make movies rather than making videogames.

If anything, game development is even more of a team effort than making a movie, so for individuals to get credit for making a game is absolutely insane.

This is the entertainment industry, so game designers have to have a creative mind and also have to be able to stand up against the marketing people at their company - otherwise they cannot be creative. There are not that many people who fit that description.

There is a definite argument to be made that videogames are becoming an art form put together by artists of different types.

Games are getting more interesting. I mean, when we talk about books, they can be anything from a summer blockbuster to 'War and Peace' - well, games are the same. I think the creative side is catching up with the technology.

When the director has a vision for a piece that I've never heard before, and they can back that up with visuals, and they talk a good game, I get really interested in the world that they're trying to create.

Games have has as much an impact on Hollywood filmmaking as MTV music videos did.

Once we start seeing video games that have more memorable characters, you'll see better movie adaptations.

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.

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.
