The point-of-view shot of gaming vision in Halo, etc., forces one to focus on only the obviously significant parts of the screen... enemies, exits, targets. So in a way it's really just a super-montage of relevant, semi-relevant and irrelevant things, where the seams between entities have become increasingly more fine-tuned. In the Ark, you never know what in the world you should be paying attention to... the complexity, the non-hierarchical organization of space on the screen is in that way 'flatter', and conductive to more perplexity.

The gaming industry has come a long way and I am excited to see what's next for video gamers. Geez, I forgot how horrible the graphics were on Doom, or is that Duke Nukem 3D?
