We don’t hear from Silicon Knights’ Too Human that much but that silence has been broken by Gamespy. They held a video interview with one of the developers. It’s 10 minutes long, really high quality. He tells us about the story of the trilogy, working for Microsoft, he gives his predictions on the console wars (PS3 vs. Xbox 360) and more. Interesting stuff!
[…] The Commoditization of Technology Gamespy presents an exclusive ten-minute video interview of Denis Dyach, president of Silicon Knights, developer of the upcoming Xbox 360 title, Too Human. Dryach makes an interesting point about the “commoditization of technology:” “I really think that the perceptual threshold of what people see with different technologies is getting smaller and smaller, so what they’re going to see with different technologies–the PS3 and the 360–are going to be so minor and small that I don’t think the average consumer is going to notice anymore. So what you’re going to start to see is the commoditization of technology, where really the technology becomes less and less valuable. So the most important thing is going to be the software. And when that happens, people are really going to focus on content…” So, at some point, the “console wars” will become moot. As gamers, we’re going to be looking for the best games that appeal to us. Developers will be able to focus on the “art” of making the games.
