And I'm less snide about it this time.
LucasArts creative director Clint Hocking has published another opinion piece for Edge. This one voices his concern for yearly sequels:
In the end, there is no question that in the current economic climate we need to better capitalise on our brands – but annualising sequels is probably not the most responsible path to doing so. It might generate easy revenue, but the long-term costs to the creative well-being of our workforce and the risk it places on our pipeline and workflow development, and on the skills we nurture and develop and will then need to leverage in making future games and (hopefully) new brands and franchises, should not be underestimated.
Not hard to agree with that which he opines, but, am I a jerk if my overall reaction to this piece is, "No duh?"
The project Hocking is working on at LucasArts at the moment remains unannounced.
