I agree with him. You will too, if you know what's good for you.
“I’m really angry at the Rockstar guys,†Spector said in an interview at the Montreal International Game Summit. “Not like I’m going to go beat them up and yell at them, but they frustrate me because Grand Theft Auto III, in particular, was an amazing advance in game design. It was a stunning accomplishment as a game design. And it was wrapped in a context that completely for me undid all the good they did on the design side.
“It’s like I want to tell my mother ‘This is what games can be.’ But I can’t because they don’t get past the beating people up with a baseball bat, stealing cars and crashing them, and the foul language and stuff.
“And I don’t think it is necessary. At this point, GTA is the ultimate urban thuggery simulation, and you can’t take a step back from that. But I sure wish they would apply the same level of design genius to something we really could show enriches the culture instead of debases it.â€
