The filmmaker has a preference for keyboard and mouse and does not use controllers
Steven Spielbergthe renowned director behind hits like ET and Indiana Jonesis also a big fan of video games, but with a curious condition: he refuses to play any game that requires the use of a controller. During an interview with MinnMaxMax Spielberg, the filmmaker’s son, said that his father has a real aversion to controls, and prefers just a keyboard and mouse.
He loves games with good stories, and I always try to convince him to play Uncharted. I say, ‘It’s like Indiana Jones, you’ll like it,’ but he says, ‘I can’t use controls. I can only play with a keyboard and mouse.’
Max highlighted that the director is a big fan of PC games, and this preference has a direct impact on the selection of titles he decides to play. Although some games like Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy are already available for PC, the first titles in the series are still exclusive to PlayStation.
Spielberg has a special taste for Call of Duty:“AND always Call of Duty. He loves Call of Duty.”
The filmmaker’s son also revealed that it was Spielberg himself who introduced him to the world of games.
He loves to play. He is a big PC gamer. This is something that connects us too. He always asks, ‘What Call of DutyShould I play now? Send me a list of the five best shooting games and I’ll download it, so we can play together when you come home.’
The passion for video games is something that passed from father to son, as Max currently works as a game developer. He has already acted in the series Battlefieldfrom the EAand is now creative director and co-founder of a studio called FuzzyBot.
