Tags: Titan QuestThere's an interview with Titan Quest developer Randall Wallace over at 1Up. Here's a bit of fun from it:
1UP: Whether videogames constitute art -- in a similar sense to films -- has been a popular point for debate. How do you see it?
Randall Wallace: Art grows out of a vibrant, everyday-person culture, from the common people rather than from the elite class who think of themselves as superior and sophisticated. Of course videogames are art! They represent a creativity and vibrancy and innovation that used to mark the music business and film business. This is not to say those areas are dead, but they sometimes seem stale compared to the energy of games.Maybe at some point that was true. However, if painting worked the way video game development worked these days, there'd be the Mona Lisa and twenty dozen other paintings of ambigious expression, fat women with very little variety.
