Harrison: Super Rub-A-Dub Not Our Bowling For Columbine

I'M STILL LOLING AT CHARLTON HESTON'S DEMENTIA!Newsweek's N'Gai Croal posted part two of his DICE-era interview with Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios boss Phil Harrison, asking if any future Sony-developed games will "change people's view of the kind of subject matter, themes, content, approach that can be taken with games" like, for analogy's sake, Michael Moore documentary "Bowling For Columbine."

Harrison, careful not to leak details on unannounced games, responds:

I'd like to believe so, but it's impossible to predict ahead of time. I don't think Super Rub-a-Dub is going to be that game. I don't think it's an analogy for the human condition. Maybe not games in their entirety, but storylines or characters within games should deal with topics of substance.

Agreed, Phil! Don't miss the second portion of the chat which also touches on Mr. Harrison's take on Motorstorm now versus Motorstorm, the Wii's Miis, and drug abuse in games.
