Dominic Matthews on why the console developer is expanding to smartphones and tablets
Mobile gaming is leading the way for the industry, says Ninja Theory’s Dominic Matthews.
Speaking to Develop in an interview to be published in full next week, Matthews discussed why the console developer is moving in on the smartphone and tablet space with the creation of Chillingo-published touch-screen brawler Fightback.
He explained that mobile game development was attractive for the studio as it offered the studio a platform to create the games it wanted, and build up original IP which it could then hold on to.
Matthews added that taboos surrounding mobile game development and the stereotypes of throwaway experiences had long-since faded, and that mobile was actually leading the way in the game industry.
“For a long time now we’ve always kind of look fairly enviously at mobile as being a platform where we can create something that is really our own, and somewhere we can do things exactly the way we want, come up with a brand new idea, own the IP, create something special and get it out there and see how it goes," said Matthews.
