1up: RSVP

Posted by Derek Yu Fri, 06 Jun 2008 20:05:00 GMT


For the weekend, I leave you with the inaugural episode of RSVP, 1up’s new series of intimate game designer round-tables. Mark MacDonald chats with Valve’s Eric Wolpaw, Q-Games’ Dylan Cuthbert, and Everyday Shooter creator Jonathan Mak in the infamous “Sake Room” at Ozumo restaurant in San Francisco (I went there once and ate a cow with a name). It’s long, and I haven’t watched the whole thing. But I’m hoping for a makeout session at the end.

    How does Gamevideos.com survive when their movies take a year and half to buffer? It’s so fucking sad.

  2. HikariExpress said about 3 hours later:

    So this is basically the gaming version of Dinner for Five.

    Very interesting.

  3. GirlFlash said about 4 hours later:

    some interesting ideas on narrative, and I’m prolly gonna get patapon now ^_^

  4. Wait said about 5 hours later:

    Mark thinks this is kinda lame or something.

  5. Trotim said about 8 hours later:

    Pon Pon Patapon~

    But the videos load SO SLOW sobs

  6. Mark said about 10 hours later:

    It loads just fine for me. Maybe 5 seconds of buffering?

  7. axel said about 10 hours later:

    4 seconds here, and I have pretty crap internets.

  8. Trotim said about 11 hours later:

    Maybe it’s because I’m from Europe or something? It takes ages.

  9. PHeMoX said about 11 hours later:

    The 384.2mb took about 5 minutes to download… Europe also, so it must be you connection indeed.

  10. raigan said about 12 hours later:

    This was at GDC.. how did it take 4 months to release?!

    Plus it took about a week to download..

  11. krizzle said about 13 hours later:

    haha, 5 hours for portal.. oO

  12. Quetz said about 14 hours later:

    I thought this was very cool!

  13. fucrate said about 18 hours later:

    I’m sure putting in the music and editing all those cuts took some serious labor, 4 months sounds about right.

    Also, from what I’ve heard that room has a $650 minimum charge… which is just crazy…

  14. Quetz said about 23 hours later:

    Jonathan Mak <3

  15. fish said 1 day later:

    i though this was great. and im hoping for more.

  16. bateleur said 1 day later:

    Downloads very slow (as is always the case with GameTrailers) for me and I have a blisteringly fast internet connection. Definitely something to do with the site.

  17. CT said 1 day later:

    That was really cool to watch. No PR BS, just developers/gamers talking about games. Just awesome.

    Any plans on releasing anymore?

  18. LaughingCrow said 1 day later:

    It took ages for me to download too. But my internet connection is jut crappy.

    Anyways, link to IndieGames doesn’t work well. Takes me to the current page.

  19. Adam Atomic said 2 days later:

    I enjoyed it, though the cameramen were not the greatest, and the restaurant noise reaches “avant garde indie film” levels of obstrusiveness in sections. Disliked pretentious opening credits. Interesting interviews with interesting people though, and I would very much like to see more of these.

  20. IndieJoJo said 2 days later:

    I LOVED this. Moar, moa- ahem More.

    Do you think there’s a sizable enough audience for this?

  21. god_oF_DOG said 2 days later:

    Wow, that was so interesting that I fell asleep half way through..

    I am going back to porn, at least it’s interesting.

  22. Radix said 3 days later:

    You’ll probably find you abrubtly lose interest in that halfway through, too.

  23. Radix said 3 days later:

    I really do know how to spell that word.

  24. Coleman said 3 days later:

    OldManMurray, in the flesh. He should go back to writing that site on the side. Valve games take so long to develop, I don’t think they’d even notice if he just skipped work a few days a week.
