Katamari creator Keita Takahashi is feeling a bit down on games right now. So much so that he might leave games altogether and go off and find something new to do. But that's another story.
Speaking about creativity in a recent interview, Takahashi told CVG, "Defining the word creativity is difficult in a sense. Even the likes of God of War, for instance, it is really well made. It's a great graphic game with an interesting story. It's not fair to tell them that their games have no creativity. Having said that I do feel many games do lack the wow factor in a sense. Something that you feel very surprised by."

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.
EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.
Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.
This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.
SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
Mind you, if hes the one making the games, then surely he can make it as creative as he likes.
this day and age people are pretty numb about things like graphics and sound because its always getting better, so there is nothing different there.
The only way to be original to to make a totally new game...but if you do that, you can't be sure that its going to sell.
i simply love this guy. he's either stoned or crazy when he gives his interviews.
i disagree with him on the wow scale though, because games like ICO, SotC, ZOE2's large scale battle, left a profound mark on me and what i think a game should be like.
i haven't even reached the "twist" in uncharted yet, and that game's wowed me because it blends so many different aspects of games together so well.
The wow-factor of PS2 graphics on a next-gen console?
I think Psychonauts was the game with real creativity and WOW factor. Sadly, most people missed it.
I dunno, I said wow playing Crysis and Uncharted a few times.
