GI Show – Star Wars, Guardians Of The Galaxy, Alex Hutchinson Interview
Welcome back to another episode of The Game Informer Show podcast, thanks for stopping by! On this week's show, Javy Gwaltney and I debate the quality of Telltale's Marvel debut with Guardians of the Galaxy. Then RPG-expert Kimberley Wallace joins us to share early impressions of the indie RPG Cosmic Star Heroine. This week also has a bizarre glut of remasters for classic games like Full Throttle, Jeff Cork's precious Wonder Boy, The Disney Afternoon Collection, and Voodoo Vince. We're also joined by Matthew Kato to talk about our hopes and fears for Star Wars Battlefront II (check out Reiner's great preview) and Star Wars: The Last Jedi. After some great community emails, we're joined by game developer Alex Hutchinson. Hutchinson was Spore's lead designer and the creative director for Assassin's Creed III and Far Cry 4 before recently leaving Ubisoft to open Typhoon Studios. We spoke about what it's like to tackle huge projects in the game industry, his thoughts on The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and much more.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
