Joystiq Video: Shane Kim, General Manager, Microsoft Game Studios

by Christopher Grant { May 11th 2006 at 8:50PM }

We got the opportunity to interview Shane Kim, General Manager of Microsoft Game Studios, and the man responsible for making sure that Microsoft produces killer games. Of course, we asked what we wanted answered, so you'll hear questions about: the Nintendo Wii, E3 dominance, Grand Theft Auto 4 on 360, developer acquisitions, Xbox Live Arcade, in-game advertising, Xbox Live subscription numbers, and more!

Can ya post PUH-LEASE a text version of the interview for those of us who cant dload a whole video (or aren't interested in watching the video interview, but are interested in certain parts, such as the Nintendo Wii questions :P)

How about putting up a torrent of your interview? That way you save on bandwidth, and people should be able to download it faster because of the reduced strain on your servers and you help legitimise a fantastic distribution service. Plus your can resume the download at anytime.

Come on, World of WarCraft does it. :)

Appears to be a problem in the full download? Shane goes mute at about 10 minutes in.

Dear Mr. Kim,

Sell the FASA IP to Bethesda, BioWare or Obsidian. Stop crapping on the IP to make shitty games that won't be good enough to cannibalize Halo.

Let somebody make Shadowrun and MechWarrior RPGs if you sorry bastards can't do it yourselves. You're sitting on Fallout killers and all you can do is eat your snot while you wtfpwn nubs at FPSes.

STFU&GBTW,
elle
