Rand Miller Downplaying Myst V

[toblix]

If you're looking to bash Myst, go to some other thread and do it.

I read this interview with Rand Miller over at ***************.com, and it hit me how little he hyped the game, and future games. In fact he hypedn't it at all!

Just look:

We will pursue whatever anyone will pay us to do. If they won't pay us to do anything, we won't do anything.

This project has been tough, because it's had such a short timeline. We have done a lot of work in a very brief time.

I am not going to portray this as the best thing since sliced bread. But it is a fitting ending to the story. It's a Myst ending. It is not about the bang as much as the subtleties and the story wrapping up in a way that's effective.

Okay, maybe the quotes aren't as good, and maybe it's just me, but I still got the distinct feeling this guy ain't from marketing.

that was actually a great interview.

im not really a myst fan, but from the sounds of it, the guy is being very honest. thats a good thing.

its just that you're too used to hearing people say, "this game is going to revolutionize gaming forever!!!!!!!" in every interview for a generic fps. everyone wants to hype their games.

this guy is just being honest.

Yeah, no, I'm not saying I don't like it. I like honesty, but you're right: having adjusted my game promo filters to the marketing dpt. setting, the honesty almost sounds negative.

Seeing those asterisks, how is Tasty Bacon doing?
