Mallat — who is also to continue overseeing Ubisoft Montreal — talked to us about the big plans for a “triple-A” game development studio, with convergence with the local film industry key.”

A decent interview with Yannis Mallat about the very exciting news of a new studio for Ubisoft here in Toronto. I’ve spoken with Mallat before, and with this kind of news I expect to be talking to him a lot more.

“At this year’s Game Developers Conference, Gamasutra once again had the chance to speak to Bullfrog and Lionhead co-founder, Populous, Black & White and Fable series designer, and iconoclast Peter Molyneux — on the eve of his presentation at the show.

With Fable II having been released via Lionhead parent company Microsoft late last year for Xbox 360 [NOTE: this interview contains some plot spoilers for the game], and no new project yet announced for his studio, Molyneux was chomping at the bit to discuss his next project — as the below text reveals.”

I helped Christian Nutt on a few more interviews at this year’s GDC (last year I worked with him on one with Ken Levine) and although my discussion in the interview is (unfortunately by its very nature) Fable II spoiler-packed, I think the whole interview is really great – Molyneux is a pleasure to interview.

A great interview (in my humble opinion, of course) on a generally unexplored factor of MMO games – fraud. Gene Hoffman’s insights are invaluable.

This isn’t the kind of article that people would usually get excited about, really, but I think it’s really useful to read about the development communities in countries that you wouldn’t think of otherwise. The global view is important!

Forgot to link this because it happened smack-bang in the middle of my time in LA covering E3. It’s a good interview, though.

I mentioned before my addiction to Team Fortress 2, and it’s gotten so bad that I’m randomly mentioning it in interviews, like this one.

Yep, I’ve been doing a lot of Q&As again!

Fun fact: I used to work for Babel’s direct competitor in the UK, Absolute Quality. I didn’t mention this during the interview.

I was thrilled to do this interview, because I’ve been eagerly awaiting the video game version of Blood Bowl. I never actually tried Chaos League (though I can’t really remember why now) even though Blood Bowl is easily my favourite of Games Workshop’s oeuvre (well, of the stuff I’ve played, anyway.)

I actually have a painted Orc and Human team sitting at home in a box somewhere. It’s great, and on the basis of this interview I do think the video game is at least going to be authentic enough to please me, though whether that will translate to sales I don’t know.
