MachineGames' creative director on the timelessness of killing Nazis.
Editor’s Note: This interview has some minor spoilers for Wolfenstein: The New Colossus.
Player 2 asked it's writers to come up with three games that defined this current generation of gaming for them personally. This edition sees their editor, Matt Hewson, pick some unexpected titles.
Seriously? Control defines the generation? An absolutely absurd and laughable deduction. It belongs on the list...nowhere. PUBG, the game that really ignited an entire genre...not mentioned. God of War, a landmark achievement. Not on the list. What about the rise of the arena shooter? Nope.
Instead we have a writer that recently became enamored with a mediocre shooter and suddenly it’s leading the pack. The writer’s initial remarks make it clear that objectivity and a serious analytical evaluation are not part of this article.
Rar Rar I am @morganfell and I speak for everyone ever. Hear my words for they are truth.
Good on ya mate.
Control really ?, I mean it was an average game at best. But hey who am I too judge . I mean ask anyone under 15 and fortnight will be the game of the gen . My opinion though is The Witcher 3 is this gens shining star .
For me I would say the following.
1.) Ghost of Tsushima is the new standard for open world games.
2.) PUBG started the battle royale genre craze this gen.
3.) Overwatch set the stage for hero style multiplayer games.
In my opinion.

Chirag Pattni talks the lack of high quality first-person shooter campaigns in recent memory. As well as what FPS fans have to look forward to.
Am I the only one that's never been that into first person shooters? It seems like I am, at least among my friends.
Stop looking at big AAA titles then. Its your own fault that you think Fortnoght and Apex when FPS comes to mind and not Metro and Doom.
I don't agree with the premise. There is no untold rule that says violence in media needs to have a point. What does that even mean? What if the point of the violence is that it is pointless? I mean I can keep going.
I get that they are just trying to be clever. To make this interview into some kind of political commentary. It just doesn't work.
The implications of criticizing the level of content within artistic endavours will always be the first and the most extreme step towards fascism.
One can discuss what kind of rules we want to set for our society. But one cannot say that a society that is built on the principle of free speech can decided what is or is not allowed in a piece of art.
