player hardcore bigs
The big thing is that we have five percent or less of the hardcore players actively entertaining the other ninety-five percent.
sides different definitions
Everybody has a different definition of the good side.
ideas simplicity complexity
And so from that, I've always been fascinated with the idea that complexity can come out of such simplicity.
games video television
Television is a very different thing from video games. It's kind of hard for me to compare.
player games narcissism
No game designer ever went wrong by overestimating the narcissism of their players,
reality thinking games
I think the idea of having a game based on reality is compelling right off the bat because everyone has some experience with the subject of the game.
tests bugs kind
I'm not saying we purposely introduced bugs or anything, but this is kind of a natural result of any complexities of software... that you can't fully test it.
hunting people treasure
And every now and then people find the bugs, and they interpret those as cool failures in the Sims terms. For them it's like a treasure hunt, you know.
fans creation entertaining
Because now it's the fans out there that are entertaining us, the developers, with their creations!
games space say-anything
We have spent quite a bit of time considering a good space game, and I can't really say anything at this point, but we are definitely still interested in that area.
xbox games generations
Somebody asked me what I thought next generation meant and what about the PlayStation 3 was next generation. The only next gen system I've seen is the Wii - the PS3 and the Xbox 360 feel like better versions of the last, but pretty much the same game with incremental improvement.
change games play
Also, after people play these Sim games, it tends to change their perception of the world around them, so they see their city, house or family in a slightly different way after playing.
power games generations
The new generation of consoles has as much power to do the kind of games that we do as the PC does.
time thinking long
Well, I think the camera freedom is something that we've resisted for a long time and feels like probably the biggest stretch. But it has some huge benefits.
