Spector on Long Games
'One Hundred Hour Games Are On The Way Out' on Gamasutra reports on Junction
Point’s Warren Spector's keynote from last week's Game Education Summit in
Dallas. Along the way he states the opinion that long games are on the way out,
which seems to conveniently coincide with his Disney-fied tastes:As he
has often done in the past, Spector commented on his frustration with some of
the dominant tropes of video games. "I love working with Disney because I'm so
tired of making games about guys in black leather carrying guns. I don’t want to
make those any more," he said.
"Game costs are going to be $35-40 million, even $100 million, and the
expectations are huge. You have to differentiate yourselves. One-hundred hour
games are on the way out… How many of you have finished GTA? Two percent,
probably. If we're spending $100 million on a game, we want you to see the last
level!"
