What is Wrong With Game Development?

Posted by timothy on from the no-realistic-driving-sims-for-one-thing dept.

Warrior-GS writes "Seamus Blackley, who has done everything from work at Looking Glass Studios to evangelize for the Microsoft Xbox, sounds off on what's wrong with the relationship between developers, publishers and their audience. Also, as part of coverage of the D.I.C.E. Summit in Las Vegas, GameSpy has chats with Miyamoto about The Wind Waker and Yu Suzuki about his gaming influences. Some interesting reading."

    A quote from article:

    Shigeru Miyamoto: For me, the most interesting thing about video games is taking the controller and using it to move something around on the screen.

    Hmmm, indeed. Is everybody sure this is the actual genius behind the classics like SMB?

    I disagree; I think the idea of "everything's already been done at least twice" is a common phallacy.

    No, a six inch penis is a common "phallacy".
