  • "Reynolds on RoN" Feature: Part 1

    The first part of a detailed interview with Brian Reynolds, President of Big Huge Games, about his company's upcoming debut title, Rise of Nations, is now online. Not only is this first installment of this preview a five-page write-up along with an exclusive screenshot from early gameplay, but also available live on-demand is the complete, uncut audio from which the article itself is based in RealAudio format (to listen, you will need RealPlayer).

    Earlier this month, I had the opportunity and pleasure to sit down with [Reynolds]... in his summer home situated in the beautiful 1000 Islands region of southeastern Ontario, says Dan "DanQ" Quick, Apolyton CS Co-Owner/Administrator and author of the feature. You can hear the first 23 minutes of the 2 1/4 hour discussion we had, completely uncut, or choose one or more areas of concentration from the game to tune into [or] you can even listen to the complete conversation organized by topic from beginning to end. [..]

    This portion features a general overview and overall gameplay structure, influences, and finally a look at warfare including units and city capture. You'll hear all about RoN in these areas from the main man himself. Feel free to before, after or even during your listening of this extensive, one-on-one chat to read through the detailed preview based on this conversation.


    After reviewing the preview, either the text and/or audio, feel free to post your comments in this thread.

        I read the article but I give that no credence. I am not interested in Dan Quick's thoughts. I don't want to listen to the audio.

        I want a transcript of the interview.

          hmmm..well the article summarizes the interview pretty welll and is accurate.

          anyways , I appreciate the article. It fleshed out some of the gameplay elements we havent gotten specifics on thus far.

            I think its going to be an interesting game that I'll almost certainly buy, although I may wait a couple of months to see the comments around here on the actual gameplay.
