GI Show – Setsuna, Pokémon Go, Ron Gilbert Interview
Welcome back to The Game Informer Show! This week we have Joe Juba to talk about Square-Enix's new throwback RPG, I Am Setsuna, and how the game compares to its inspirations like Chrono Trigger. Dan Tack talks about Monster Hunter Generations and World of Warcraft's pre-expansion changes. And then we formally introduce our new associate editor who is finally in the office, Elise Favis! Also, we finally dive deep into the world-wide craze that is Pokémon Go. After all of that nonsense, we're joined by the legendary adventure game designer Ron Gilbert to talk about his new game Thimbleweed Park, Monkey Island's chances of returning, and more. Also, don't forget that next week's podcast will feature the second part of our GI Game Club for Deus Ex: Human Revolution!

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.
