Looks good. Now only if they include a good narrative to wrap the visuals around...

Ryan is mighty sweaty, good interview still

Good interview.

Chris Taylor seems a lot more toned down than usual. I wonder if he doesn't have much interest in churning out another SupCom as opposed to doing something new.

Commanding entire armies is serious business.

Square enix publishing SC2 thats kinda crazy

Annoying anime kids with spiky hair don't command armies!

This sounds excellent and a hope it can live up to the hype, but I would like to see some gameplay footage.

Never had the chance to get into the first, but this second one sounds awesome.
Jimboon June 5, 2009 at 11:28 a.m.
Dude, Space Siege, what the hell happened?

Unfortunately, it sounds like they may have given Sup Com the same treatment.

This game sounds awesome judging from this interview, and the dude really seemed to be genuine about all his answers instead of some rehearsed marketing mumbo jumbo.

First one sucked.  It was just bland, and was good for nothing more then getting PC nerds all worked up about how great PCs are compared to consoles.  Maybe with square it might be good.

I like when Ryan's like "So this is Square's first real push into the West" and Chris Taylor's face is like "whaa??"

looks interesting..

i think its a good idea to join square ... erm i bought first one didnt really play it much but im hopin this is a much better game.. i enjoyed dawn of war 2


so hopefully this should be great

Aww, no more coordinated attacks. It sounded like a nice option to use, but with so many units, I didn’t use it myself.

@Kazona:
I've noticed Giantbomb's had alot of great interviews like that this E3.  That's why I love it:)

Color me interested. Chris Taylor seemed awfully genuine and I fealt the interview flowed great. I will more than likely play this game, as it will be first GPG since Dungeon Siege.

Solid interview about a genre I do not like, at all.
