“There’s more creativity in Europe than there is in America,”

Crytek may have 27 nationalities in their office, but it didn’t do jack for making a creative game. Crysis is simply Far Cry with a facelift.

Besides, who cares what nationality you are? One reason that people seem to have the ‘Americans are not creative’ stereotype locked in their brain is that it’s harder to bring an idea to market here, simply because of the money involved in creating and promoting new titles.

I’ll just say this and leave it: If anyone can name me 10 games made in Europe, with no help from a US developer, publisher, or programmer; that also are top of the charts AAA titles, I’d love to see it, as I can’t think of enough to fill the list.

While it is interesting that this comes from EA games, I completely and whole heartedly agree. Bethesda softwares Oblivion comes first to mind. While it is a good game, it is a large step down from Morrowind, the game that came before it, because, quite simply, bethesda wanted to reach a larger audience (bringing in more money)

“It’s difficult to know exactly what he was getting at, if anything”

Perhaps he’s trying to encourage more creativity in US developers?
