Quote to Note: Games Consoles Follow the Snail darter
April 19, 2010
Quote to note: Fascinating quote from Japanese game superhero Hideo Kojima, who created Metal Gear Solid. In “Japan’s Video Game Visionary: The Console Is Dying,” Mr. Kojima allegedly said:
“In the near future, we’ll have games that don’t depend on any platform,” Kojima said at a news conference announcing the latest installment in a game saga that began in 1987. “Gamers should be able to take the experience with them in their living rooms, on the go, when they travel — wherever they are and whenever they want to play. It should be the same software and the same experience,” he said.
The end of history came and went. Now the end of consoles. Big news for some folks I suppose. Is a mobile device the new console? Is Google’s rich media infrastructure shaped for this portable playability?
