New video interview with Jon Mavor & Bob Berry

Hey guys,

I met Jon Mavor (with girlfriend) and Bob Berry on GamesCom and recorded an interview for our german RTS community sites united-forum.de and cnc-inside.de. Don't worry, the interview is in english (only the first 20s are in german). Please excuse the bad audio, our microfone turned out to be damaged. Oh and there was no preparation, so everything is improvised



Fun fact: We invited Jon and Bob to the EA Community Party where all the C&C community leaders met, was cool to infiltrate that event with PA

Also we were drinking at the same time

Thank for video, it's interesting answer about post-release monetization model and I'm don't remember if neutrino already said about that anywhere else.

He did somewhere in the forums, but not in an official announcement afaik. The exact details are still out in the open.

For those interested in the discussion surrounding that, read through the entirety of this thread. A few things to keep in mind;

This thread is from May, it's not really old, but don't consider anything as rock solid proof.

Read everything, Dev comments don't show up until about halfway through.

It's going to be interesting to see how the community grows for this game. Currently there's a limited amount of players in the alpha, completely intentional of course, but I am really curious to see how this is going to pick up at beta and release.

Gaming as a platform seems a good idea as long as the base game leaves a good enough impression so that the community feels like it's something they can invest in. The release schedule seems tight even though I am amazed of how fast Uber Entertainment works.

If users are allowed to sell mods, then I sincerely hope that mods are sold for proper value and that it's still possible for free mods advertise themselves across that very same platform.

Thanks for the interview, the best so far. Hopefully the community will take advantage of the "game as a platform". When i see all the stuff which has been made by TA community, i guess there's an incredible potential for building the best RTS ever made so far, because to me, TA still is the best, and PA is here to make this dream come true once again.

@ Bob Berry, "agriculture simulator" or "building site" simulator, and others of those really low budget simulation games, selling for 10€ or sth are the most sold video games in germany, nearly every year. I dont know anyone who buys them, but obviously they must be here. So they are "huge"^^

look here for example http://www.simuwelt.de/

Well my parents just bought some of those for my nephew and he loves those.

Thanks for that Mike. Really interesting discussion. And amusing in places too.
