Dear Reader:
Del Toro says the Citizen Kane of games is coming, all entertainment forms to merge, and comments on making a game
“Today, we have very worthy people doing literary comics. I think the same thing will happen on the Internet-gaming side. In the next 10 years, there will be an earthshaking Citizen Kane of games. In the next 10 years, we’re going to see all the forms of entertainment—film, television, video, games, and print—melding into a single-platform ‘story engine.’ The Model T of this new platform is the PS3. The moment you connect creative output with a public story engine, a narrative can continue over a period of months or years. It’s going to rewrite the rules of fiction.” - director Guillermo del Toro
Mr. del Toro was then questioned about the possibilities of approaching that ‘Citizen Kane’ of games himself, to which he seemed open to the idea. He also said that that wouldn’t happen until he wrapped up The Hobbit.
