IGN - Ken Levine and the End of the Auteur. Thanks Ant.
On those grounds, Levine is less an auteur and more of a reader, trying to anticipate what his player will be thinking next. "I threw out huge drafts of scripts and things like that; artists threw out whole sequences. And that's because we all, at the end of the day, said, 'What is the audience going to think of this? How is the audience going to react to it?'"
