Lol, just proves how much NC wastes PR, no shiney new stuff to talk about, just the past and the present. I mean, they're on a major American gaming channel. Surely they're going to say something a bit new, at least?

I was just thinking the same thing "Bring back a villain that has never existed in the game before" he has to be him, who else would the 5th Column get?

Probably not the goal of the interview, several bits were cut in replies, so more like a 'ey look at this' roundup.

I take it the look on Positrons face at 1:42 is a web-buffering blip and not bug-eyed utter shock at the interviewer's question of "What do you think makes City of Heroes stand out from the crowd..."

Shiny and new?

Oh hi there we just hit 5 years. Oh look we have a really funky mission creator and we are bringing back/creating a new super villain in our next free update.

You were expecting more really?

The latest issue went live and 5th anniversary were less than 2 weeks ago and the interview is to bring in new/ex players rather than those in game at the moment.

What you should be doing is omg [censored] wow City of Heroes got some air time on a major gaming channel to spin the game in a positive and evolving light with shitloads of content and if its not enough you can make your own story-arcs.

Paragon studios cant win they are pretty much dammed if they do something and dammed if they don't.

This is a common complaint here on the forums, and in most cases wrong. You have to remembere that apperances like this one is not aimed at us: they're aimed at people who're not already playing the game.

Well, it would at least be nice to just get something other than what we already knew; he didn't really hint at anything, at all. Sure, it wasn't the exact purpose of the interview, but it's wasting some good PR. I mean, bringing back an old enemy isn't exactly spectacular for attracting new players...

Point is: it was a good opportunity to show off some new shiney stuff and attract new players, but once again not just NCsoft themselves lack good PR. But I'm wondered how they are 'damned' if they do show off shiney stuff...

Didn't see any problems with that (for the audience of general games players, rather than something just for CoX players).

So we know that Posi tries to play 1 MA arc (picked at random) per day - and people wonder why there aren't more Dev's Choices yet?

And there's going to be a villain returning who wasn't in the game yet... 5th anniversary.. used to have 5th column... blah... blah...

It's obvious!

We're getting the return of Protean! Sharpen ya arrows, Manti!

I lolled.

Also at the Time clocks at the start. Good video in my opinion, as JD stated. It's towards non-players, why the hell do you want PR towards us selling us the game we already play?

Well, I thought that Hurley and... sorry Matt and Brian did what they set out to. Spin the game in a positive light.

I did learn a lot about why I feel the game is commercially and creatively short, watching that interview.

They clearly are computer guys and gamers through and through. They are not dynamic sales/ marketing/ business types at all. So as a lead designer, I'm pretty sure Matt isn't the best person to understand how to place things in the best possible light. Or why yu would go to the effort.

Seem like nice guys though. Just a shame for the game is all.

Don't get into a flap. It's only my opinion and I'm thick

Protean and Reichsman would be nice!

Also, the interviewer was quite hot.

Sorry, what was the point of this again?

Oh yes, nice to see them actually getting out on a gaming channel and delivering the gumf to non-CoX players/new players/old players.

If the MA isn't "new" nor "shiney" in the product of 'City of' then wth is? Thats the latest feature and the biggest 'wizz bang' thing to happen to the game.As already said, the interviews for the benefit of people never to have played or perhaps played years ago. The nugget for the current player/hardcore fan was as GG put it, the almost confirmation that Reichsman will be in the game.

If I were to nit pick the video, I'd mention the rather dull/weak video of gameplay (the non MA screens) but that could have been either partys responsibility.

Anyway, thanks to the OP for linking the video in the first place.

His shirt, at least, has been in since before issue 14. So some swine told me.
