Best Game Coverage 2010

I was watching the Big Live Live Show on Giant Bomb last night and was really blown away by the interview with Supergiant Games. Retrospectives are pretty common these days but Giant Bomb are doing something different here by giving a very intimate look at the development process as it happens.

The segment has two parts, the first is a video of their trip to PAX to show off their game, Bastion,  for the first time. We get to see their reactions to peoples first impressions, both on the floor and online message boards.

The next segment is a live interview. They show a very early build of the game, discuss changes they made after PAX feedback and the merits of the lack of a design document. Also, they dish out some advice to aspiring game developers. Its really inspiring stuff.

The PAX video is first up and the interview starts at around 16 mins.
The first minute of the video is black, dont be dishartened.



This is going to be an ongoing segment. I am really looking forward to the next segment already.
