“Alex is one of the people in the industry I would analogize to the great filmmakers, etc,” he told Kotaku in a chat at E3 last week. “He is a true creative visionary. We had a great fight about what the next Need for Speed would be like. Of course, he gets to win because it’s his call. It’s not that I’m without an opinion on it.”
