Troy Baker Is Not Rushing to Make His Video Game
During a new interview with Eurogamer, Troy Baker expressed his desire to tell stories through his own video game. Baker first spoke about being inspired by Abubakar Salim, who created his own studio and game after voicing in games like Assassin’s Creed Origins. Baker elaborates that he has had the honor of working with some of the greats in the industry, including Ken Levine, Hideo Kojima, Neil Druckmann, Vince Zampella, and more, and has learned a lot from them.
Baker is excited about “taking those tenets, taking those principles of wildly successful titles – not just in terms of sales and figures, but the stories that have defined the industry – and being able to innovate and replicate and emulate those processes and practices into the stories that I want to tell.”
The Last of Us actor also revealed that he has begun “conversations” about his video game and told some of the individuals in these meetings that the timeline is “not rushed”. Baker wishes to take his time and ensure that, when it is time to tell his story, “it’s one of just as high a caliber as those that I am trying to emulate.”
