Interview with Phil Harrison

[FrieChamp]

Short and sweet, about his life after Sony at Atari/Infogrames and mostly about "Alone in the Dark" developed by Eden.

I think the single-player, disconnected console game is probably in its dotage. Now, that doesn’t mean that those games aren’t relevant going forwards, but they will be enhanced by community features being embedded in them, or downloadable content becoming an inherent part of the experience, or some kind of user-generated content will be part of the experience. All of the things we see in other games, the things that we can point to in compelling games.

A relatively linear single-player game without online connectivity is going to be a challenge to green-light going forward.
