I felt he was avoiding the question about Fallout 3 somewhat. Obviously he wouldn't be too vocal about it if he did dislike it.
 
Doesn't matter to me what he said about Fallout 3. Will not change my opinion about the game.

Regardless of how his opinion about it is anyway, they are working together with Bethesda and you don't say anything negative about your partner.

I guess they are trying to see it as professionals. Meaning that Fallout 3 is a game for them. And in the end almost all games are enjoyable. The core questions, if it is a good Fallout game or a good RPG even require somewhat a bit more then simple "yes" or "no" questions. But certainly no one wants to eithe ask or hear such things when it comes to interviews and the press.
 
Wonderful to hear him talk about how game journalists that don't know who he is or what Interplay is.

That really says it all, right there. Professionals, people.
 
Good interview. In fact all the interviews I've seen this guy do are good. He represents the old school gamers very well.
 
... Is it just me, or was that quote bit at the end a subtle dig?

A whole big explanation about how you have to keep the markets in mind, and the video ends with a quote and comment about not being swayed from your art?

Huh.


Interesting interview all around, though.

I had that thought too. Of course, you have to remember they are called 'starving artists' for a reason. :)

There was nothing subtle about it. I'm pretty skeptical of what he said since he was talking about consumers being unwilling to buy such games when the market really hasn't been tested. Had he said that finding a publisher for such games would be extremely hard, I'd have believed him, but he didn't.

I'm with BN that the comment about journalists not knowing about old games or Interplay is ridiculous. That a journalist actually rolled his eyes at him when he started listing of the games he'd been involved with was also facepalm worthy.

My guess would be he meant that was the reason why publishers don't want to publish such games.

Too true. Arrogance and ignorance in one. Not doing your homework and being a jackass, why did those guys even come there?
