Gary Gygax Quotes

While films are a very visual and emotional artistic medium, video games take it one step further into the realm of a unique personal experience.

The Internet is getting so big, and people are inventing so many amazing things and new experiences. I never thought 'Coco' would have a VR game, and it was very cool to experience. I remember throwing a paper airplane even though there wasn't actually anything in my hand.

Games already pretty much have reached the point of photo-realism. Working on more intense graphics is not the only path we can take anymore. Simply relying on the sheer horsepower of the machine will not bring the industry a bright future.

To me, that's not virtual reality. That's 360° video.

I love games like 'Flower,' for example - I thought this was amazing. It's great, it's new, it's different, and it's invented something that didn't exist before.

I think there's a genuine difference between the real and the virtual in music.
