He explained why cutting-edge tech and ultrarealism weren&#8217;t appealing to him as a creator. <\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think we&#8217;ve ever been a company that was like, oh my God, we need the latest and greatest technology. In the rendering space we&#8217;ve never been a company; outside of SWAT 4, we never really tried to do ultrarealism in our games,&#8221; he explained. <\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s expensive, and it doesn&#8217;t age as well as sort of more stylistic things because BioShock still looks good, I think, because it wasn&#8217;t trying to get every nut and bolt super realistically rendered. It was realistic-looking, sort of, but it was more stylized.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"ignvideo\" data-slug=\"ken-levine-on-bioshock-judas-and-the-evolution-of-game-design-ign-30-icons\" data-loop=\"\"><\/section>\n<p>He pointed to newer gaming machines like the Nintendo Switch 2 and the upcoming Steam Machine as signs that the medium has hit &#8220;a bit of diminishing returns&#8221; with the race for better and better visuals. <\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;I think if you have the right art director and the right approach, you don&#8217;t need to be on the cutting edge of technology all the time,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Even the stuff we&#8217;re doing with Judas, all this narrative stuff we&#8217;re doing is not CPU intensive. It&#8217;s work intensive on our side, and Baldur&#8217;s Gate is the same way. That was just like a ton of work behind that. None of it was particularly technologically demanding, right? It was just a billion branching tree structures that they had to manage and think about &#8211; which I tip my hat to those guys because they did an amazing job with it &#8211; but that&#8217;s not a technological, hardware challenge. It&#8217;s an engineering and thought challenge.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p>Levine&#8217;s next game, first-person shooter Judas, doesn&#8217;t currently have a release date, but when it&#8217;s ready, it will be published on PS5, PC and Xbox Series X and S. <\/p>\n\n<p>Levine spoke to IGN as part of our IGN Icons series, celebrating the last 30 years of the video game industry and the people responsible for pushing it forward.<\/p>\n\n<section data-transform=\"divider\"><\/section>\n<p><em>Rachel Weber is the Head of Editorial Development at IGN and an elder millennial.
