Billy sits down with the former Xbox co-creator and talks to him about his new company, game development, the state of the video game industry, and of course...Nintendo.
During the Game Developers Conference, (ok the coverage is
finally over) I got a chance to sit down and talk with Seamus Blackley, Vice
President, Development for Capital
Entertainment Group, a video game production company. But if that name
rings a bell, it’s probably because Seamus was previously the
Chief XBox Technical Officer, and one of the main forces behind the
creation of the XBox.
Seamus has since left Microsoft, and now is back in
the game making business. After listening to part of a talk he held at D.I.C.E.,
and then getting to meet him after, I decided it would be fun to sit down and
pick his brain about the state of the industry, making multiplatform games, and
his thoughts about Nintendo.
The audio interview runs almost 50 minutes long, and we’ve
created two different MP3 downloads for you.
I’d like to personally thank Seamus Blackley for taking the
time to speak with us. I think this interview is really informative and
entertaining for gamers and developers. We hope you enjoy it!
