Earlier this year, EA and developer Hazelight announced A Way Out, and during the many interviews that followed, director Josef Fares vaguely criticised the power of the PlayStation 4, and he compared it to a five-year-old PC. This statement is completely true, yet it still created controversy, and now Fares is lashing out at the media for portraying his quote out of context.
In a statement to GamingBolt, Fares said the following:
"[It was] so taken out of context. And I don't even want to comment on that. It's so... I mean, the people who wrote that, it's so silly, it's not even worth commenting on. And if I meet this journalist, I would ask them, "like what were you trying to do here?"
Additionally, Fares points out that he does not care about the console wars:
"Look, here's the fact. Let me make this one thing straight: I'm a passion driven man. I don't care about hardware. I don't care about console war, that's all bullshit, okay? That was really, extremely, extremely taken out of context. It's not even worth commenting on, because it's so silly, you know. I own every single console, I don't even care about that. I care about games - who cares about consoles, and if they are good or not good? But people seem to like this console war, and so some journalist wanted to have some clicks on his page, I don't know."
