Great new interview with Chris Taylor

Now for something a little different than purely real-time strategy discussion. Chris Taylor expounds upon a variety of topics including the games industry’s creative development process, weathering an economic storm, publishing & distribution and, of course; the future of the RTS genre.

[EDIT: 04/06]: Two absolutely astonishing new videos have been released over at Gametrailers.com showing ACTUAL GAMEPLAY FOOTAGE from [alpha-stage] Supreme Commander 2, with commentary from Chris Taylor himself!!! You’ll want to take a seat, make some tea and take a long deep breath before these:

[EDIT: 03/06]: OK another update! Seems like IGN have gained a first look at Supcom 2.

[EDIT: 02/06] More blurb from incgamers.com:

Futuristic RTS game, taking place 25 years after the original where the assassination of the Colonial Defense Coalition President results in large scale war between three factions, bringing “a new level of emotional connection to the RTS genre.”  Developer: Gas Powered Games. Due out 2010.

[EDIT: 01/06] So, i4u certainly seem impressed with the new Supreme Commander 2 trailer unveiled for E3.
