Tim Train: One Big Huge Interview

[DanQ]

Since this really doesn't fit into any other category (debate with me all you want, but it won't do you any good )...

In one of his first interviews since becoming a founding member of Big Huge Games, Tim tackles some of the big questions about why he Firaxis, why now, and what he sees his role as being at BHG both in terms of contributions to the company and the gaming community.

Comments/questions are welcomed.

I always greatly appreciated Tim's updates and appreciation for the fans. I'm sure he'll carry that over to BHG, which should serve the company well.

Good luck, Tim!

I think this is good for Civ3. Someone had mentioned before, that it's a good idea to bring in new blood. I mean, from the sound of what Tim and Brian have been saying, they're really burned out on the Civ series.

You really need someone to look at the game through a child's perspective. Preferably a child on Chistmas Day who is ready to open his presents. It's that kind of fire that makes games great. And it's that fire which I think they'll bring to their new projects, because that's where their heart is.

Sometimes you need to move on. I wish them well.

Speaking of which, does anybody need a junior level sys. admin in Los Angeles?

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!!!

DanQ scores an exclusive interview with Tim Train, and we get 2 replies!!! Come on! This is the future of Civ here dammit...

ok its still the same hogwash of no answers.... obviously there is some sort of conflict that neither side is going to talk about......

personally i want to know when we can expect civ3......

i could care less about dinos..... and no offense to Tim Train..... but i could care less at this stage about BHG..... i wish them well and all but come on..... someone give us some civ3 info.... i am going nuts here

I hope i did'nt offend anyone

I agree with Derek that they appear to have been burned out on TBS games, and if that's the case they should move on (Tim said he was burned out actually). Apologies for not being here sooner, but I've been away for a week.

At this point I am content with civ3. Let the future bring what it may.

Hmmm... not sure if that's the right thing to do..
after all, Apolyton mainly consists of TBS fanatics, which is not what he's looking for since BHG is concentrating on RTS.
