Takahashi talks about environmental awareness, game industry lacking creativity |
Ó
After seeing the video demonstration of his new brainchild, Nobi Nobi Boy in the recent GameCity '07 event, many people couldn't help but think "what's the point?" We may not know the objective of the game just yet - heck, creator Keita Takahashi's boss doesn't know it yet either - but playing with the taffy people sure does look fun. "I think it looks fun," said Takahashi. Understandable or not, we have to admit that Nobi Nobi Boy already has potential, and that's thanks to Takahashi's innate sense of creativity. But how about the rest of the gaming industry?
Takahashi berates the game industry in general for not having enough creativity to produce diverse games, saying:
Just as people have different personalities, in terms of games you can make your own rules to develop and play. But in reality we rarely see such variety. I wonder why?
Not stopping at the apparent lack of creativity in most video games, Takahashi also said his piece about widespread issues such as environmental awareness as well as being kind to other people. Takahashi also delved into other darker issues, such as people affording the luxury of video gaming after 10 to 20 years from now.
Certainly not something you'd expect coming from a game developer, but we're talking about the creator of quirky games like Katamari and Nobi Nobi Boy, after all. Be sure to check back for more updates about his latest game!

Who needs to be creative when you can sell 20 million copies of any crappy First Person Shooter?
