Its like all the developers that are getting ready to ask for start up funds, their new idea is the new direction the industry is going. I will not be surprised if 6 months form now he announces his new game based on short mini-games in an MMO atmosphere.

They all do it. The browser based MMO guys got alot of press about declaring it the next big platform a few years ago. Roper used to talk up giving people choices to how much commitment they wanted before he talked about how wrong it was to do it with Hellgate.

Bottom line is, whatever the developer is gathering startup money for, is where the industry is going next, and they'll trumpet it at every developer outing they can.
