Gameindustry.biz has an interview with Christopher Kline - technical director for 2K the developers of last years' GOTY, Bioshock.
They mainly talk about the emotional content in current video games but a few other interesting points are made also, like the one below :
"Q:
What's your take on the changing landscape of videogames?
Christopher Kline:
I think what we realised, which really started that transition back at
Irrational, we were doing games that I'd say were mid-budget - maybe
USD 3-4 million - that there was no real market left. You'd have to do
something like what EA is doing and go into the casual market, or
you've got to go for a really big blockbuster - just because of the
economics, especially for the small independent developers, you're
really squeezed out of the middle.
I think you can probably still get contracts for that kind of
work, but there's not a lot of hope there for developers being able to
survive - just not enough money to develop new IP and keep staff going."
Can you guys and gals name a few of such medium titles ?
