"I think for myself," Marsala said, "I've gotten a lot of FPS fatigue over the years, having worked on them for many, many years I've gotten tired of them. I find very few interesting enough to pick up.
"I think there are a lot of people like that out there. People are ready for different experiences then playing an FPS and running and gunning. The same loop that has been demonstrated hundreds of times, but with a different skin. How many games can you play that are run shoot kill and repeat, with different settings, different worlds? After a while it's tiring for me."
With a first-person experience game, Aziz feels that the team is removing the gun and replacing it with a sense of exploration.
"You don't have to worry about so much, like killing things," he said. "You can do different objectives besides killing things which is a huge thing for me."
And now is the time for this sort of game, Aziz says.
Generationally, people have grown up with shooters, they've become such commonplace sorts of games, that some of those gamers are thirsting for something new.
