Talking smack about the Nintendo Revolution, Mark Rein, VP of Epic Games, had this to say,
“Don’t kid yourself - you’re going to see more gimmicky, crappy, cheap, ‘I wish I hadn’t bought it’ gimmick games based around that controller than you can ever possibly imagine… I guarantee you there’s going to be lots of people who say the whole reason for this game is this controller, we made the perfect game for the controller. And all it’ll be is about the controller, and not necessarily a great game.”
Ah, yes, and true innovation resplendent in non-crappiness and notable absence of gimmickry would be those excellent FPSs your company keeps dropping like two day old turds. What’s that another Unreal? Oh wait your making a different game? A military themed shooter in the near future where you get to shoot demons?! Yawn. Wake me when you get a clue and your game designs evolve beyond scripted shooting and levels populated by oddly placed crates and barrels.
