John Romero Sees The PC As The Eventual Platform Winner
John Romero, of Daikatana fame, recently sat down with Adrenaline Vault for an interview on the state of PC gaming and where it sits in the gaming sphere of existence. It was interesting to note that Romero thinks that the PC will become the gaming console of choice in the future. He backs this claim up by referencing how close the consoles are to PCs right now.
He also talked about how funding from a venture capital group is so much better than a publisher, because with venture capital funding, the money is already there. It is not coming from a bank. The capital in invested right off the bat, so they don’t worry as much about milestones and the like.
I think that the man is right to some degree. PCs will become more like consoles and consoles will become more like PCs. I am not sure if they will merge into one product, but it is an interesting thought.
