You've got to be able to make animation for much less... Less is not the studio's way.

When business executives are making the artistic decisions and don't understand animation, things can go awry.

It just seems like the whole, overall animation world is trying to go where maybe animation doesn't belong.

I remember when we were doing the first Dragon's Lair, I got really involved with coming up with all the little rooms and what was the danger in the room and going into it with bats and spiders and snakes.

I have never seen a game's graphics look so sharp and clean. The sound design for the game is also unique on the Xbox. The memory on this system allowed us to provide the user with 5.1 Dolby surround sound for home theatre owners.

We're waiting for the pendulum to swing back again, which I am absolutely confident it will.

Shelf-life for a regular video game usually is about three to five years, and that's it.
