Gigex interviews John Romero Creative Director of Internal Studio, Midway Games. He was the man behind the DOOM franchise. Here is his take on mobile games:
GD: Can you talk a bit about mobile cell phone games, something you've also been involved with, and how you see mobile games evolving with the constantly updated handsets that enter the market on a regular basis?
JR: Well, the benchmarks in mobile gaming are moving up fast. Handset hardware is getting more advanced by the month with the latest handsets sporting 3D chips in them! The infrastructure for ordering games over-the-air is getting better and more widespread across the various carriers with BREW being the clear winner at the moment. Nokia made a bold move into this space with the introduction of the N-Gage, which is continually evolving to incorporate gamers' needs and expectations. Expect a lot more competition in the mobile arena - this is the fastest growing segment in the game industry.
