Here is an interesting interview with Rand Miller from Gamesplanet (4/21/05):

Quote:
Gamesplanet: Choose one and explain: Pre-rendered graphics or Realtime 3D graphics; First person view or Third person view Action Adventure or Graphic Adventure.

Rand Miller: Realtime 3D - because real life is dynamic, alive, and moving all the time.

First person (for our games) - because it presents a view of the world that most closely mimics real life

Graphic Adventure - because the "action" many times becomes a frustrating exercise in button pushing and starting over. And Graphic Adventures allow for much more advanced story development that is more integrated into the experience, where in Action Adventure the story is simply a background attachment.
