It's beautiful to see quite a positive comments section!

:)

I'm sure I'm not the only one who grew up in a rough neighbourhood where games were definitely a positive choice and harbours warm fuzzy feelings of nostalgia of NES sessions when they read the comments of Samus appreciation by Mr Schappert.

I'm sure Sony's response will be a typical "we are better than Microsoft" corporate response.

Great idea Totilo, can you keep this going all year? Just carry it on whenever you talk to any dev on the phone or anywhere!

@data_monkey: Doesn't work that way, because I have to know who I'm talking to next. That's why it only works at events like GDC or E3 when I know what my full interview schedule is

i really like this interview thing you got going on here. It really shows the developers personality and what they are currently thinking about.

Expect Dille to flatter Microsoft in his answer, followed by a quick and blunt criticism of having to pay for it and how PS3 offers a better experience for no money.

You heard it here first, folks!

@Slagathorian: That was kind of the point. There's really only one way to answer that, making it a boring and uneventful wait for the answer unless we get thrown a curveball.

@Shinta: A curve ball like the following:

Totilo: "John Schappert asks, 'What do you think of Xbox Live?'"
Dille: *immediately slaps Totilo in the face*
Totilo: "Ow, what the... why did you--"
Dille: "Go ahead, ask me again."
Totilo: "What? No, I--"
Dille: "Ask me about Xbox Live again, mother f***er!"

Oh wow, I can't wait to hear what Peter is going to say. Though I'm slightly worried it won't be as respectful?

Its nice to hear such kind words between rival comapnies so far, though.

@NeoStarr: Not really. The people who will actually read this stuff (such as you and I) are in a very tiny minority. I've never even heard the name of any gaming execs mentioned in the news or anything mainstream.

And look at how much of a douche bag Aaron Greenberg has been over the years and its never affected them as far as I can tell.

But ya, I am at least somewhat concerned because execs have done stupid, stupid shit before.

Blah so far the questions have just been "DO YOU LIKE MY SHIT?" minus Miyamoto's question.

Get creative with the questions, people.

IMO, this would be better as a feature article, not a series.

@Stephen Totilo: Oh, it's just an opinion; you know what they say about opinions being like that certain body part. I'll read the whole thing at the end of the week, thanks for the link to the Chain Interview tag.

As another opinion, I like the idea behind the Chain Interview style! I'm just not so sure that this is the right cliffhanger.

It took a second to realize that this was only the first half of one question of an interview...

@Omnimon:

I wasn't going to complain too loudly, but yeah, it's a whole article for half an interview question. It's basically a news headline that says "we'll tell you something! Tune in tomorrow!" Crecente already gets flak for posting single questions and answers as video...

Of course, doing the interview itself is much appreciated, Stephen! It's a cool idea; this is just really a tease since there's not even a whole question and answer.

I can see it now, Miyamoto's frozen dome right next to the Splendid Popsicle, er, Splinter, Ted Williams.

Then when science evolves we can finally create a reallife Paste from Bases Loaded
