New Lorne Lanning interview

This was announced on the Oddworld site, I found two quotes that should interest the admins:

Abe Babe:
"Some people feel connected to the Final Fantasy characters because of the story they are in, but when I play those games and I see the lifeless animations and controls in gameplay, it kills any association I may have had to the characters. I guess I'm not willing to let my imagination fill in that many blanks. We try to achieve both without losing a sense of dynamic control and without having you feel like you’re just moving around a lifeless piece of coded artwork."


Sydney:
"The animations need to be tight and the controls need to feel fluid. If it's awkward and clunky, it kills it for me. Resident Evil is in that area of wonky controls. No matter how good the game is or how many people like it, if it feels lifeless and awkwardly controlled, it loses me."

If this interview was done in another couple of days, I would've thought Lorne went to the "Fav Games" topic in OT just to make fun of your favourite games!

That's really unusual...especially since it wasn't the first time that either Abe Babe or Sydney have mentioned their favourite games, either.

That's really weird that Lorne mentions the "faults" with mine and Sydney's second favorite games.

And as Luxo Jr mentions, we have talked about our other favorites before, as the favorite games topic has been on here before as well as over at the ezBoard.

Abe Babe...
