Dan Houser: "f*ck all this stuff about casual gaming"
Dan Houser: "f*ck all this stuff about casual gaming"
We are inclined to agree with Dan Houser, Vice President of Rockstar Games and co-writer of a little game called GTA IV. Mr Houser stated in New York Magazine:
Yeah, f*ck all this stuff about casual gaming. I think people still want games that are groundbreaking...We're hopefully going to prove that there's also a very big audience for people who want entertainment in another form, who think of games as being a narrative device that can challenge movies.
Talk about speaking the truth. No offence to any casual only gamers out there but going that road gives me goose bumps. Yes, I own a Wii, but it is collecting dust in my cupboard. It doesn’t appeal to me at all, I would have rather gotten a 360 to stand beside my PS3 but my parents thought otherwise.
I’m not saying that casual gaming should disappear altogether, but just keep it too a minimum. Now, back to killing hookers in GTA IV.
