All the time, players are forced to do their utmost. If they are challenged to the limit, is it really fun for them?

We can be using the same kind of technology, the same kind of techniques, but when we use it, we get something different.

I'd like to be known as the person who saw things from a different point of view to others.
games people attention
We don't pay a whole lot of attention to the Internet until people have played the game - then we pay a lot of attention to whether people liked it. We read through it and see it, but we don't take it into consideration. ... [The Internet] is not going to dictate the direction of where the game goes.
player games focus
When I create a game, I try to focus more on the emotions that the player experiences during the game play.
movie games people
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.

I don't like all the attention. I think it's better to let my work do the talking.
games firsts levels
When we're doing an action game, we make the second level first. We begin making level 1 once everything else is completed.
games ships ends
A late game is only late until it ships. A bad game is bad until the end of time
games garbage-cans video
Up until now, the biggest question in society about video games has been what to do about violent games. But it's almost like society in general considers video games to be something of a nuisance, that they want to toss into the garbage can.
