GI Show – Ghost Recon, Mass Effect, Zelda Developer Roundtable
It's a big week for The Game Informer Show, as we try to wrap our minds around some massive new games. First up, Matt Bertz talks about playing a ton of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands alongside Andrew Reiner and Jeff Marchiafava. Then we're joined by Suriel Vazquez to talk about playing Mass Effect Andromeda with Andrew Reiner and how the game's first couple of hours are stacking up in anticipation of our upcoming GI Game Club. After that, Dan Tack talks about his Bostonian adventures and the highlights of PAX before weighing in on how the card game The Elder Scrolls Legends turned out.
After some great community emails, we get a new perspective on The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild thanks to a talented group of developers. We're joined by BioShock's Ken Levine from Ghost Story Games, The Walking Dead and Firewatch's Jake Rodkin (also from Idle Thumbs and Important If True), ArenaNet's Aaron Linde, and Galak-Z's Jake Kazdal from 17-Bit to share their insight into Nintendo's monumental feat with the latest Zelda game.

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.
