Respawn has announced that they have hired Matt Codd, who has worked on movie projects like Saving Private Ryan, Twelve Monkeys and Serenity. While he hasn’t worked on video games before, he thinks there are similar creative challenges in movies and games.
Well, I think as far as I m concerned whether its video games or movies, good design isn t all that matters. It s all about trying to be original in this day and age which is really difficult because everything has been done at some point or another, said Codd. I think that there s more understanding of the design process in video games these days. I think that things have gotten so speeded up and out of control in movies that it s not so interesting to work on and the time that s put aside to video games is far more interesting and more fascinating to look at. A lot of the guys that I know in movies, we see a lot of game design and think ‘that s awesome and I wish we were doing that in movies’.
