GI Show – Crash Bandicoot, Valkyria Revolution, Eugene Jarvis Interview
Welcome back to The Game Informer Show podcast! We have a fun, strange episode for you this week. First up, Andrew Reiner talks about his 20-year history of reviewing Crash Bandicoot games and what he thinks about Vicarious Visions' new remastered take on Naughty Dog's trilogy. Sadly, we also have Joe Juba to explain why the new Valkyria Revolution is not exactly the Valkyria Chronicles sequel or spin-off he was hoping for. Then Javy Gwaltney gets freaky and talks about the bizarre new sci-fi thriller called Get Even. After some great community emails, we're joined by game industry legend Eugene Jarvis to talk about his work creating arcade classics like Defender and SmashTV and how they compare to his recent collaboration with Housemarque creating Nex Machina. Matt Miller recently wrote a glowing review of the game you should check out, by the way.
