Major league baseball is about the history of the game. Baseball history is so important. It's so much more than money.
If we are to preserve the integrity of golf as left to us by our forefathers, it is up to all of us to carry on the true spirit of the game.
You have to measure your success by the way your audience responds to your games. No matter how small that audience is, it's yours. Your game is part of the lives and the memories of those people in a way that WordPerfect or Lotus 1-2-3 or Windows can never be.
I hope to remain connected with the game that's given me so much in some capacity, whatever that proves to be.
My goal is for 'Heavy Rain' to leave an imprint in you and change a little bit of who you are and how you see things. Maybe the key characters and key moments will leave a trace in you. If you don't have this ambition as a video-game creator, then maybe you should do something else, because this is what creation and art is about.
For me, 'Dark Souls III' is the end, but that doesn't mean the end for 'Dark Souls.' If someone other than myself, like another staff member, wants to make a 'Dark Souls,' then I don't want to deny others from making future installments.
With something like 'Tomb Raider,' it's very intimidating to step into the boots of Lara Croft.
The NBA is the strongest professional sports league in the world. The league and the game is bigger than any one person, Michael Jordan included, and they always will be. I hope that today players, especially our young players, continue to recognize that simple fact. Nothing is more important than the game itself and the fans who support it.
When I was working on the first 'Dark Souls' - as far back as 'Demon's Souls,' actually - I didn't expect the player community to come up with speedrun contests or any of the strange new ways to play the games.
I would love for 'God of War II' to be considered the swan song of the PS2 but I really don't think this will be the last great game on the system.
I very much see 'Resident Evil' as my franchise that I kicked, screaming, into life.
Even when people abroad see me, I'm often asked about a 'Zone of the Enders' sequel.
