The Wii is fun, but nothing feels all that accurate or precise. I don't want to play an action game with controls that sloppy. ”

The Uncharted' series really pushed me as a developer. They managed to raise the bar with every single release and produce an action- packed thrill ride starring characters I wanted to hang out with, and mechanics I can easily pick up and play. ”

My wife is Swedish, so I'm familiar with the Scandinavian kind of odd humor. It's very dark and very deadpan. ”

Do not make decisions for your kid. It's not going to turn out well. ”

We did so much work developing the character of Kratos, why would we throw all that out? We're sort of treating the first seven games like chapter one of this character's life. ”

I had this idea that I didn't want to have kids until my career was at the right point, until we have a house, until we have savings of at least this much ... None of that came true. It just happened. ”

Games change by the different creatives that get involved and say, 'I have this crazy idea.' ”

Any sort of major change we want to make in our life is hard. Change is not easy and true change takes time and takes thousands, millions probably, of failures along that path and that's the interesting thing. ”

I had a very specific idea of the personal nature of the story I wanted to tell, really changing the image and the perception of Kratos. ”

There are some who expect every game to make a dramatic change the way that 'Resident Evil 4' did over its predecessors. And for that series I think the change was fantastic and completely necessary. I honestly think it should have happened much sooner than it did. But that kind of change is not necessary for every game. ”
