I haven't seen GameSpot do these before but they're really laid back interviews and a great insight into the person rather than the company they represent.

Questions:
How did you get started working in games?
Who gave you your break and what was your first job?
What's the one thing about games that drives you to do what you do?
What makes a game a success?
What makes a game a failure?
What do you wish you could change about games or the industry?
What advice would you give to aspiring developers?
What is your favourite story, and why?
What do you want to do before you die?
What profession, other than games, would you want to try?
What wouldn't you want to try?
Who is your favourite artist?
What is something about yourself that would surprise people?
What is your favourite swear word?
What is your blood type?
What music do you listen to while you're working?
What games are you playing other than your own?

Why is Phil Harrison in a series of developer interviews? I'd like to hear actual developers talk about the process of game creation, not some PR mouthpiece spin PS3 sales.

The interview is a no spin zone.

Harrison is sort of the gatekeeper for SWWS. think of him like David Jaffe for Santa Monica, except for the whole world!

Did you even watch the interview? He mentions Sony once as one of the places he got his start. It's a really good interview that gives you a look at a side of Phil you probably haven't seen.

Hi idot.

Great interview with Phil there. Sounds like a cool guy in real life. First time I've seen him curse as well.

Why is my download from Gamespot so slow? I'm getting 17kb/s here. Do they throttle non-premium subscribers?

 

[TTP]

Damn Eggebrecht is like a clone of me. He likes what I like. Probably some kind of European affinity.

Maybe stick to sales threads

 

[Chris_C]

Jesus! Julian's head looks MASSIVE! compared to his body. Probably the camera angle though.

 

[AAK]

Can't wait to see the Hideo Kojima version whenever it comes.

I just finished watching Phil's interview. Very nice guy.

He said he's a good drummer. He should play it at GDC whilst showing new games . :|

For anyone interested, there's another one up featuring Leslie Mathieson of High Impact Games (Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters):

[luffeN]

cant wait to see those... but only 14/kbs..

edit: uuuuum, why the hell does my video of eggebrecht stop at 3:10 ?

do they really just give you a shorter version of this when you are not a GS complete member?

edit2: for some strange reason the downloads stopped at half the file size and told me it was completed

 

[mckmas8808]

Great interviews. I likes.
