“As a creator, technical skill is important, but I really feel like this generation is about expressing ideas, about what you do with the technology.

“I also got the impression that, instead of talking about what makes games innovative and so on, a lot of companies were pushing Western titles hard, positioning them as a new ‘genre’ for gamers to try out.”</blockquote>

Interestingly, Ueda also admitted to being excited by Modern Warfare 2.

“It’s one of the few games, I think, that conjures up what’s going outside of the picture in your mind as well. I feel a serious sublime beauty in all of Infinity Ward’s FPSes.”</blockquote>

We can't wait to hear more about The Last Guardian.
