"Let's be honest, video games are not art"

The creator of God of War and Twisted Metal, David Jaffe, has lashed out at games that favor the style at the expense of content. In a message posted on the blog of Jaffe, the creator of Kratos has also attacked the supporters of the theory of "video game as art." "You can not talk about art just because the wind is blowing and there's a soundtrack and open spaces to explore.

And the presence of elements in the history of video games that you saw in the movies does not mean that the medium is ripe. These are just superficial elements difficult to produce as anything else, but that do not contribute one iota to the maturing of the medium. " "I'm tired of seeing players and journalists fall into this error.

If we want to reach the peak we must be honest on the 'state of the art', and journalists must be before the others." "The real art work and have no genuine need to say to the four winds. The power of an artistic work is important and obvious even without someone points this out in time."
