Great interview, this game blew me away. It is right up there with Portal 2 as my personal Game of the Year. I want to see a "Assassin's Creed 1 to Assassin's Creed 2" or an "Uncharted 1 to Uncharted 2" level of improvement in the sequel. I really think that the Crystal Engine is holding the team back in the graphics department. I hope they take the time to develop their own engine like CDProjekt RED did for The Witcher 2. Moving away from the Bioware's Aurora Engine that CDProjekt RED used for the first Witcher was a incredibly smart move. Human Revolution was great despite the dated graphics visuals and character animation. I think the art direction really saved the day in terms of keeping me interested visually. I really hope that Thief 4 isn't using the Crystal Engine as well.

Valve is calling the genre Action-RTS. I think that makes more sense than MOBA.

Dota is to the RTS genre, what Diablo was to the RPG genre.

Sweet

This write up was fantastic

4&B is the new R&B

+1 for more articles like this. Keep interviewing studios about their past decisions. They seem to be okay talking about it.

The first patch is ALWAYS free on Xbox Live. 

For me the Starcraft II talk is the best part of the podcast.
