Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz at last week’s DICE Summit, Taylor, founder of Gas Powered Games, offered some thoughts on PC and next-gen gaming platforms and talked about his new game.
Taylor believes that PC gamins is going to be “super exciting” in 2007 thanks to the huge increase in system power that is on the horizon.
“I think later this year we’re going to see incredible systems that just take off. The multi-cores, the 64bit OS… Imagine a gaming rig with eight gigs of RAM and a one or two gig video card. It’s just super exciting,” said Taylor.
And what of the current crop of consoles? Well, Taylor hasn’t played the PS3 so couldn’t offer any thoughts on that but he is a fan of the Xbox 360 and Wii.
“The Xbox 360, the current market leader – I love the online, the whole package, the way it comes together,” Taylor told GI.biz. “The Wii is capturing the hearts and minds of people, at an incredible pace.“
With Supreme Commander hitting stores tomorrow, Taylor is now turning his attention to a new project – a comedy PC game.
“… we’ve got something we think is going to be very funny, very entertaining… When you get this next game, a couple years from now, and you’re like, ‘Okay, finally, I get to check out what this guy’s talking about,’” said Taylor. “you’re going to sit back, you’re going to relax, you’re going to enjoy yourself. And you’re going to go, ‘Oh, I know what he means now.’ That’s the next thing I want to try to do.“
He couldn’t say any more on the project but did reveal that it will be a console game.
