While it’s no easy feat to create a completely new idea in the world of gaming, one man says his next project will be something that is absolutely innovative and new.
Josef Fares, who is a filmmaker that worked on Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons , dropped hints as to what he has in mind next. In a recent interview, he revealed that he’s “…moving on to the next thing. I have my next idea ready, it’s super cool. It’s very different. “I can tell you this–if I tell you the idea now, you’d say, ‘I haven’t played something like this before’. I can’t tell you more. But definitely something that hasn’t been done before.”
It’s certainly hard to believe that anything new truly exists under the gaming sun. However, A Tale of Two Sons could be the proof that it’s possible. While becoming a hit on the downloadable market, it provides a unique gameplay style that forces players to juggle both characters with each thumbstick (at times causing some frustrating yet interesting results).
However, while Fares worked with Starbreeze on ‘ Sons (which was the first to garner revenue for the company by the way), he states that his next project will be handled by his own studio. “Yeah, I think that’s what’s going to happen. We’ll see what happens… I can’t talk too much about this.” He says.
Check back Monday as I pose the question: are there really any new innovations left in our industry?
