- Valve
Newell
on Steam, Half Life and Source on Next Generation features Gabe Newell
blowing off some steam about the games industry: "It’s not something we’re
really looking at right now. In general in this industry you’re always
working with people. I mean Scott’s licensed other people’s engines, so he
certainly can get over his resistance in other domains. You know Valve got
its start by working with it on the Quake engine. Everybody in the industry
works with Sony and Microsoft and Nintendo who have their own first party
titles as well, so, I think that we’re a really good partner for the people
that we work with, I think we have a good reputation, and that the people
who are working with us on Steam have been super-happy to date with the
success they’ve had by working with us."
- Flight Simulator X
The
Microsoft Flight Simulator X Q&A on FiringSquad discusses the latest
installment in the flight sim series with Mike Gilbert: "For the first time
in the history of the Flight Simulator franchise we’re offering players the
chance to play the role of Tower Controller in a multi-player session. Tower
controllers will be able to see other players on their radar screen
represented on their PC and communicate with other players using
voice-over-IP (VOIP) technology. This will make a tremendous contribution to
the immersion and fun of on-line play."
