Email: THQ President: Future of console games is movies

Farrell believes the evolution of games will focus on better emotional experiences found in film and movies. He says today’s games have good enough graphics and audio.

“Better graphics? They’re pretty darn good now. Better sound? No. Gameplay? Probably not. So I think the ways games are evolving now is really a direction we’re going. Where it’s going to be is in the play experience; richer stories, better characters, production values that are much more like movies.”

“I think that’s the direction, rather than technology and graphics. I think those days are over.”

The Game Industry wants to become a ‘new’ Hollywood. I suspect that most of the executives and business people in the Game Industry are Hollywood rejects.

It is said that the game business is hard to understand. It isn’t. It is that game business follows its own unique rules. When someone tries to treat it like Hollywood or another industry, they end up destroyed.

THQ also has in common is that they know they can get money but putting out stuff for kids (which they can fund their ‘visionary’ products no one wants to buy).
