John Carmack comments on Nintendo's "simple" plans
by VGLN Staff

Sunday, August 24, 2003

Simple games better he says.

CNN.com ran an interesting article on legendary game creator John Carmack (father of Quake).

In the article Carmack comments on the recent over-immersion of games. "I want a game you can sit down with, pick up and play. [Role playing games], for example, got to where they had to have a book ship with the game," said Carmack.

"Carmack is a big fan of old-school arcade games. He's also an unlikely supporter of Nintendo's recently announced philosophy that games have become too difficult," wrote Chris Morris, author of the article.
