Legendary game developer Warren Spector says he’d sum-up the most recent console generation with a “yawn” – explaining that the lack of innovation in mainstream titles over the past eight years has left him decidedly cold.
OtherSide Entertainment has bounced back from the cancellation of System Shock 3 and Warren Spector is working on a new game.
The Game Developers Conference kicked off today as a week of virtual talks. In a live chat alongside a rebroadcast of his 2017 GDC talk, Deus Ex designer Warren Spector talked about why he wouldn’t make the game today.
Rockstar said something similar.
I wish creators would get a backbone and accept that every piece of their art will be reflective of the society during the time of creation.
We selected a few words of wisdom that the creator of System Shock and Deus Ex has to share, ranging from his thoughts on game development to collaboration with Disney
I agree, when you have been gaming for a long time you often get the feeling of 'been there, done that'. I still get excited, but its rare for it to be the same excitement i felt as a kid/teen. But every now and again a game musters up the same excitement/passion. For me those types of games are Read Dead Redemption, The Last Of Us, Mass Effect, Skryim, Fallout 3.
Don't get me wrong, i enjoy pretty much all games. But that's what the majority of them are to me just 'games'. It takes alot more now for me to class it as a personal favourite.
It's increasingly difficult for me to get excited for Warren Spector's games.
on the flip side, im getting increasingly excited by this guys beard.
It really is... I think that's because we often know what to expect, there's really nothing new and diffarent enough coming from the mainstream that would "blow our minds" so to speak.
Agreed 100%
