Arcania - Interview @ Hooked Gamers

Hooked Gamers has an interview with Arcania: Gothic 4 Producer Kamaal Anwar.  It's a general piece and doesn't reveal anything new for us but might be worth a look for fans.  Apparently, they're holding back for E3.  Here's a snip:

HookedGamers: How do North American and European gamers differ in their RPG preferences, and how are these differences reflected in Gothic 4?

Kamaal Anwar: We could go on for quite a while on this topic, but when we break it down everyone has their own preferences. It's pretty transparent that cultures as a whole tend to have more common preferences. North American gamers (and not specifically RPG gamers) would tend to look for the short term reward to spark engagement. European gamers are more methodical in how they appreciate a new experience. At the end of the day though, everyone wants a quality game. Regardless of where they're from, their personal preferences can be influenced if a game can establish its own unique and compelling experience.
