Walt Williams doesn't want his video game to hate him. He just wants to be entertained.
Walt Williams is a video game writer who has worked on Star Wars Battlefront, Bioshock, Civilization, Borderlands, Mafia, The Darkness, and Spec Ops: The Line. His book, Significant Zero, explores the hardships and insanity of AAA game development.
Here's some stuff we talked about:
Our Feelings
The Mass Effect 3 ending debacle made Walt question his narrative approach in Spec Ops: The Line.
Kirby All Star Allies is blowing Walt's daughter's mind.
The Quarry is scratching a very specific horror movie itch Walt hasn't scratched since childhood.
Start at Yakuza Zero if you want to punch people in the face to make them better people.
The Last of Us: Part One's ending resonated quite a bit with Walt
Depending on who you ask, Walt was kind of a monster in The Walking Dead Season One.
