Warren Spector has been interviewed at CVG about the industry and Junction Point Studios' current project (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=152323). Predictably, it's too early to reveal any detail but there remain hints of a genre-crossover with roleplaying elements:
First up, is there anything you can tell us at all about your new game, what we can expect from it and what experience you're offering gamers?
Warren Spector: I can't talk much, but it's safe to say it'll be a logical, evolutionary step from the games I've been involved with for the last twenty years or so. (Maybe it's just me, but I think there's kind of a coherence to the stuff I work on...) Anyway, the next game will give players tools to craft a unique experience, participate in the telling of a cool story and so on.
I expect and hope it'll confound people who insist on plugging games into neat genres - I want people wondering if it's an action and combat game, a stealth game or a role-playing game! If I say any more, there's a publisher and, erm, well, someone else on the creative side who'll be really mad at me. Better stop...
