Man, I hope this guy gets one more crack at the Socom franchise one day.  I'll definitely be paying attention to this studio's games.  He sounds like he gets it.

I liked this part :

DS: "Regarding copying other franchises, I have two responses. First, use what works. For example, when I was designing SOCOM I looked at Rainbow Six which had AI teammates. Okay, that game functioned as a proof of concept in that way, i.e. yes, you could support AI teammates so embrace that. On the other hand, I could never throw a grenade in that game worth a darn, so I knew I wanted precision grenade control and I wanted it to leverage the analog nature of the PS2 controller. So I created the precision grenade throw. Secondly, and speaking from a high level perspective, copying the work of others is choking the industry in a deluge of derivative, predictable games. Just stop it. If you can’t think for yourself, you can’t call yourself creative."
