Chris Taylor on Xbox and PC game development
The future of PC games development is the subject again in a Daily Radar interview with Chris Taylor of Gas Powered Games. Chris offered the same views as John Carmack (see yesterday's news). Here's a snippet:
DR: Recently, a lot of high-profile PC developers have said that they are shifting their focus to next-generation consoles and making PC secondary. Is that going to be true of Gas Powered Games?
CT: Dungeon Siege is planned as a PC game, and we are a PC company. Naturally if the market shifts over (completely) we will take a look at making the transition ourselves, but at this time we are quite confident in the viability of the PC games market.
DR: There has been a lot of talk of the demise of the PC industry. Do you think the PC is fundamentally in trouble as a gaming platform, or is this the same talk we hear every time a new console appears?
CT: I think so. I think this business loves the drama of it all. Until consoles can do everything PCs do,and do them well, PC games we will have a market.
Nice to hear these views from top game developers. Thanks to Blue's News for the heads up. (Ding 10:27:27 UTC)
