MobileIndustry.biz has posted part one of a multi-part interview with Nokia’s Mark Ollila.
Ollila is a veteran of the mobile games industry, having co-founded Telcogames in 2003 amongst other things, and his role at Nokia is to relaunch the N-Gage as a gaming platform. In the interview, they cover topics ranging from content vs. distribution to Nokia’s target audiences, such as here:
Do you subscribe to the philosophy that mobile games should be simple, one-thumb affairs, or do you believe that there is a demand for 3D graphics and complex gameplay?From a Nokia perspective, we’ve got two components. We’ve got third-party publishing where we’re bringing in people like EA and Glu, Gameloft - they’re bringing their franchises to our handsets. Some of those are hardcore in nature, some of then are casual in nature.
With our first-party publishing, which I’m heading, we’re looking at games which target both hardcore and casual markets. But the direction that I want to push in is going towards made for mobile, innovative, social gaming, looking at pervasiveness, looking at the aspect of rewarding players.
