Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters is a new PSP game, and Lesley Mathieson is the game's design director. Gamasutra took a look at the game designer's media and art diets. Let's check how much books that she reads, the movies she watches and the other games she plays influenced Ratchet and Clank's design.Lesley listens to a wide variety of music, including 70Â’s rock: Blue Oyster Cult, Kiss, early Aerosmith, The Strokes, the Goo Goo Dolls, and Matchbox 20. She also thinks that there's a huge amount of room for using music as a hint to players as to when they should interact with objects, or to guide them towards different kinds of gameplay.
Being a former film major in college, Lesley's been exposed to a lot of films, and she particularly loves monster films. Her favorite movie is The Creature From The Black Lagoon. Lesley also reads a lot, and her favorite authors include T.H. White, Iain M. Banks, Gerald Durrell, and Jack Vance.
As for games, Lesley enjoys playing Beyond Good and Evil, Kingdom Hearts, Pikmin, The Sims, Pokemon, the Ultima series, and Morrowind. Lesley says that she's just as comfortable picking up Half-Life 2 as picking up Pokemon. Spoken like a true gamer, we think.
