While researching about game designers, I came across an interview with the "father of skateboarding," Tony Hawk ("The Birdman"). In any case, he has acted as a designer/consultant on Pro Skater 1,2, and 3. It just started me thinking how games are becoming more and more like movies. For as much as I know about the behind the scenes for both of these areas, I think it's pretty common to have experts on a certain topic for every movie, whether it be for historical accuracy or realistic-looking violin playing. Now games are doing this as well. Maybe it's been this way all along, but it seems like there have been huge changes since the days when I played Summer and Winter Olympics on my Commodore 64.
