This guy is the biggest bullshitter in the gaming industry. A guy with such claims that the book "On bullshit" perfectly applies to what he says in many cases.
Again this thing looks so pretentious that it gives me nausea just listening to his... uh project I guess. It's the same nausea I feel when I try to listen to artist justifying their performance in "modern art".
Sorry to be so harsh.
Some of his ideas failed. So what. At least he tried.
What do we have now? Oh yeah, the latest Call of Duty shooter with absolutely horrible plot twists and dialogue. Yeah, a pool of true innovation.
I think Rogert Ebert had it right. Gaming is awfully trite. For every Shadow of Memories and Grim Fandango you have 1'000'000 rotten ideas.
