David Braben, founder of Frontier Developments took some time out to talk to Gamasutra about his latest project The Outsider and the elusive Next-Gen Narrative. Braben says that games have evolved visually, but haven’t demonstrated next-gen gameplay and narratives yet. Stories are much harder to move forward.
Braben is hoping The Outsider will set new standards for storytelling and gameplay. It’s an espionage game with political themes which he hopes will raise the bar for future titles. Find out about Braben’s seminal title Elite, and his plans for The Outsider in the full interview featured on Gamasutra.
