GI Show 244: Battlefront, Assassin's Creed, Warren Spector Interview
Last week's episode of the Game Informer Show podcast was the great Matt Helgeson's last time hosting the show. This week marks a new era for The Game Informer Show. The podcast is now co-hosted by Ben Hanson and Tim Turi and will cover more games than ever, a weekly reader/listener feedback section, and a rotating final segment that should pack in plenty of surprises. As you can see below, the biggest change is that The Game Informer Show is now also a video podcast! You can still download and listen to the audio version, but video allows us to show off some gameplay and let you see our dumb faces. Also, despite the timing of this post, we are still planning on releasing new episodes every Thursday at 7pm Central.
On this week's episode we're joined by Jeff Cork and Andrew Reiner as we cover the mixed reaction to Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China, share our obligatory update on Bloodborne, learn what it was like to attend this year's exciting Star Wars Celebration convention, and much more. Last but not least, we are joined by legendary game developer Warren Spector (Deus Ex, System Shock, Epic Mickey) who shares details on his game development program at the University of Texas at Austin (which you can learn more about by clicking here), his pitch on making a Command and Conquer RPG back in the day, and news details on Junction Point's unfruitful collaboration with Valve in creating an episode of Half-Life featuring a magnet gun. We hope you enjoy the show, and please send any feedback to podcast@gameinformer.com!
Our thanks to the talented Super Marcato Bros. for The Game Informer Show's new intro song. You can hear more of their original tunes and awesome video game music podcast at their website.
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.
