Eugene Jarvis quotes
In video you are starting with nothing but a black screen. There's no game there. With pinball you at least start with that basic concept, but not with video. The challenge of going from no game to something today is only different because you have to create something so damn fun people will pay $1.00 every two minutes to play it.
Eugene Jarvis
That game, just the brutal simplicity. It's amazing as a game designer you want to have the latest graphics, and you want the Chicago Symphony playing your background music, and you want Harrison Ford and Matt Damon as your starring characters. But if you have an incredibly addictive game, you don't need any of that crap. You just need blocks.
Eugene Jarvis
As you get all this money out there, there's a tendency for more conservatism and sequelization. So we're doing ‘Madden 38,' but now the shoelaces have shadows! And when you step on the turf, the grass is just pressed a little bit, and springs back in just a couple of seconds. Unfortunately, it's kind of the death of creativity when you make a big deal about really trivial features.
