figured this deserved its own thread.
[url=http://www.giantbomb.com/]take a look at 3:18:40 for frankie's elaboration on fps games.[/url]
two quotes of particular importance:
"there has been kind of a backlash about it; not just with our stuff but with other people's games where there's just too much and people want something sort of simple and as esports comes back they want something more balanced and more symmetrical and fair."
context: talking about the complexity of the modern shooter.
"so i think there's definitely some sort of... i think it's a see saw. and i think it's tipping back towards the [competitive side]. and esports is certainly driving a lot of that [by] going for things that are really truly competitive rather than just sort of reward driven. i think you can have your cake and eat it; [b]i think you can have both of those sets of experiences in a game and sort of reward people in the campaign and make sure that your multiplayer is something pure."[/b]
context: talking about today's reward driven multiplayer experiences.
