Director Wes Craven (Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream) tells The Mercury News journo Dean Takahashi that he was in talks to create an original game. Full stop.
For better or worse, Craven, a casual player, seems like an ideal Hollywood person to work on games—his movies always have loads of sequels and appeal to young people. Thanks to his experience teaching college, Craven says he also understands those young people, pointing out that they are doing things like Motocross to show their creativity. Takahashi writes:
I also asked him how games could elevate themselves to the level of movies. He said that it would be good for games to embrace a wider array of topics beyond those that 'appeal to the 14-year-old males with too much testosterone.' Rather, he would like to see games that can teach something, like a simulation on how to combat world health problems.'I haven't found many educational games, but a lot of things, like world politics, could be done in a really funny way,' he said.
Golly, I'm really looking too that humorous game on world politics and international health problems from horror filmmaker Wes Craven. He really knows what those Motorcross kids wants.
