The theory continues to hold true; add Shawn Elliott to a podcast and it is destined to be good.
With Shawn and Joe Fielder from 2K Boston on this week a lot of the topics are centered around the juxtaposition of the games press and game development sides of the industry. There are some interesting insights into how things have changed on the press side and how being on the development side changes perspectives.
There is also a great discussion about what makes you put aside a game that you have been playing regularly for a significant stretch of time. This gets boiled down to multiplayer games and the main reason has a lot more to do with social group dynamics than issues with the particular game.
Three former EGMers join the regular Bitmob crew this week. HB Studios’ Greg Sewart and 2K Boston’s Shawn Elliott and Joe Fielder join Dan “Shoe” Hsu and Demian Linn through to the magic of Internet telephoning. They cover such topics as leaving games you love, game-journalist entitlement, videogame sequels to movies, and more!
