It’s been no secret that Cliff is a fan of mobile games, having often tweeted about games like Angry Bird, which he proclaimed to be a top-hit prior to its success. However, when someone with such a key role in a company like Epic Games has such an interest it’s worth paying more attention to.
There are certainly some gamers who are against this sort of evolution, thinking such social connection will lead us to Farmville-esque invites spamming inside of all games. It’s certainly believable that games are getting more and more social, but at the end of the day designers and gamers will realize that these aspects are optional, and don’t necessarily improve or ruin a gaming experience.
Cliff also discussed the danger of weapons in real life, violence in games, the balance of work and life, how he got into videogames and much more – you can check out the interview on BBC here, though make sure you have half an hour of free time before you start it!
What do you think of the interview, or Cliff’s idea of next-generation social interaction? Do you think Cliff’s idea of next generation inter-connectivity is feasible?
