  • I always said this would be cool:

    Unreal engine = cool.

    Clive Barker (pre-Sacrament) = cool.

    Oh BTW, I think they interview Clive because he's got something more interesting to say than the developers - about the creative side from a non-gamer's point of view.

    Hmmmm I will copy this over from the comments of loonyboi's (probably more interesting) interview from yesterday:

    ""I think this is a particularly good point:

    "Even though my novels are filled with fanciful elements of various kinds, I use the fanciful elements in very rational ways. I don't want to ever feel as though the fantastic should be a get-out clause. It should have its own rules and regulations and you should hold by them."

    Something I like the idea of, that bizarre alternate realities in books, games or whatever, can have a coherence and reality of their own. "Reality" and "realism" doesn't have to be limited to crap like CS, it can be applied to any strange situation if it's done right, if that situation has it's own coherent laws like our reality does...""
