Will Wright Talks about Gaming, Art, and the Scientific Method
Here's a very cool summry of a Will Wright Talk at BAFTA--very interesting and to the point.
Also, I could not resist adding this little tidbit from the Q&A session:
In other art forms, we find deep expression (Illustrative slides of important works in other media), but games are kind of like this (Slide of big Conan style dude with giant blade, luridly titled DEATH SWORD) (Laughter). They're kind of a popcorn experience, disposable entertainment. I'm not saying that's wrong, I watch action films sometimes, but games could do more.
Also, I could not resist adding this little tidbit from the Q&A session:
Q: What’s your favorite game? (Laughter from cynical bunch of game developers)
A: My favorite game is an old Chinese board game called Go. It has only two rules, but really deep strategy. Games are meant to have simple rule sets that generate maximum possibility space. Go seems to have the best ratio in that respect.
This is a greeat post thanks
