Gamers Don’t Need Dumbed Down Narrative

Talking to VG247, Ken Levine notes Take Two had no problem with the complex themes of his upcoming FPSRPG BioShock Infinite, and he feels no need to dumb down narratives for consumers.

(God, no,) Levine told VG247 when asked if narrative had to be dumbed down for gamers.

(With some of the stuff we’re doing on Infinite, I need to dumb it down for me.)

The Irrational games head said Take-Two had been very supportive.

(Take Two in particular, is pretty bold on this stuff. [Take Two chairman and CEO Zelnick] Strauss and the gang signed off immediately,) he continued.

(Frankly, in their shoes, I don’t know if I would have written a check for [BioShock 1]. ‘˜Trust me! The kids love objectivism!’)
