Evening Q&As

Guild Wars
The Guild Wars Extended Computer Gaming World Post-Mortem on 1UP.com (thanks Guild Wars Slovenija) is a Q&A with ArenaNet's Gaile Gray about how their MMORPG is doing on its six-month anniversary: "Offering 450 skills is bound to cause a lot of concerns about balance and fair play. Players have seen the 'überbuild' in enough games to be somewhat wary of elaborate progression systems. But balance has been our first and main focus from day one, and it continues to remain our primary objective even now. We've been able to stream modest changes, and we've held major events such as our PVP Extreme Weekend (PVPX) in late August to verify necessary changes."
Starship Troopers
RPG Vault's Starship Troopers Q&A discusses Strangelite's upcoming game based on the Heinlein-inspired sci-fi movie. Want to know more? "Our storyline is original, but some of the missions are based on episodes from the film - notably Whiskey Outpost and the first battle scene (the night battle Klendathu Drop). We want the fan of the film to immediately feel at home in the game - so the troopers, the weapons, dropships - and even some of the classic film lines - should be instantly recognizable. For those unfamiliar with the film, we aim to present them with a coherent storyline that sweeps them along and into the game."
The Matrix: Path of Neo
There's a The Matrix: Path of Neo Q&A on Computer and Video Games (thanks Frans) talking with Shiny's Dave Perry about their upcoming Matrix game: "The twist to the Path of Neo is that while you are indeed Neo, you don't have to get captured or lose a fight when Keanu Reeves did in the movie. A great thing about working with the [movie] directors is that they happily added a lot of new content. I would guess that 50% of Path of Neo is all new content... New places, new characters, new situations. One level even has five new Animatrix style episodes in it! Another major feature is the new fighting system, it allows you to blend together multiple fighting systems (like guns, swords, sticks, poles, acrobatics, special powers, bullet time etc.)."
GT Legends
The GT Legends Q&A on TotalVideoGames talks with Rod Chong, producer on the old school racing sim: "It was reasonably straight forward researching the cars. We went to several FIA GTC-TC races and photographed all the cars and worked closely with the drivers, owners and mechanics of these amazing machines. Everyone involved was quite helpful. The FIA organization also gave us access to the FIA Homologation booklets for some of the cars."
Spend the Night
Erotic MMO Targets Female Audience on Next Generation (thanks Frans) is a Q&A with Republik's Robert Coshland discussing Spend the Night, their upcoming hot-to-trot MMORPG being developed for an adult audience.
