Houser: We're still only scratching the surface of the open world experience
Houser hopes their games will be talked about in 20 or 30 years time
Rockstar's Dan Houser reckons that games like GTA IV and Red Dead Redemption are only scratching the surface of what open world games can do.
Houser also revealed his hopes for the future saying that he hopes that regardless of the name on the box they'll have made "a bunch of interesting games" in ten years time.
He said: "I think there's something really interesting in the open world experience. Obviously we've made like ten of them now and they still don't feel boring to me. It still feels that we're only scratching the surface of that potential. But who knows what we'll be doing?"
"We'll hopefully have done a bunch of interesting games in the next ten years," Houser added. "That's always the goal. I've never been that good at the futureology side of game-making. We never really care what the name is on the box, either. The name Grand Theft Auto, the name Max Payne, the name's Red Dead, the name's Table Tennis, it doesn't really matter as long as the game's cool. I would never have believed you would have been talking about this in ten years time. We were still talking about Space Invaders [ten years ago], and that was already 20, 30 years old then. Hopefully we'll continue to do interesting stuff, that's you know, that's kind of all you can hope for."
There is still no official sign of the next Grand Theft Auto title but Rockstar has confirmed that Max Payne 3 will be arriving in March of 2012.
Thanks IGN.
