Quantcast



Last week Destructoid and several other outlets were invited to a 2K Games review event to evaluate the MP component of BioShock 2 -- a delicious bit of early access that I found as satisfying as the booze and hamburgers served at the event. But after I gorged on the component and feast, I stopped to have a chat with some of the crew responsible for the component: Digital Extreme's Mathieu Berube and 2K Marin's Melissa Miller.

I asked the two why it was necessary to include multiplayer in the sequel to a game that was lauded for its rich solo play. I even dug in a bit about the differences in development between the two titles, and asked the all important question: what happens if people don't like the game? The results are filled with hilarious profanity.

What happens if I hate Bioshock 2 is that I spent £55 on a game I hate.

Nice job kid. First interesting interview I've heard in a while, with only half of it being promotional bullshit.

Usually all of it is.

Good stuff sir, would watch again. ++

Favorite Part: When R3Y asks the guy a question and cuts to the girl's response to the same question before the guy even says anything.

Anyone else notice how she was looking at R3Y?



@RichardBlaine

For some reason whenever a video/picture/drawing/sentence is put up on a gaming website it always gets immediate views and comments from 12 year olds or single guys thinking that everyone wants to know that they would tap that.

This is why we gamers can't have nice things and why some gamers can't get real life girlfriends (obviously not R3Y because he is a BEAST!).

Wow...I sincerely wonder why they allowed her to be a spokesperson. I would be cringing if I owned that studio and heard her talking like that.

Melissa Miller is literally the least articulate developer I've ever heard. Before the swearing, even. And recognizing that David Jaffe exists.

My wife cusses quite a lot, too. Even drops the cunt bomb every once in a while.

I'm with you guys: it's pretty hot.

Is... was that a lot of cursing? People seem to think it is. I really didn't think twice about it until I hit the comments section.

Man, my language must be horrible.

But I'll say this - she's not the most profane speaker I've heard in the workplace. Not even close.

Is it bad that I don't really care for the single player, but the multiplayer looks kind of fun? This video sort of re-enforces that thought =\

Great interview though. More like these in the future please.

@Dreyfuss McTafferty

That's so sad. It must be such an affront to your sensibilities. It was such a formal event, too. All those tuxedos and gowns in the video really gave it away.

I don't know what you do for a living, but you sound like some kind of marketing or public relations asshole. Suicide will be your only redemption.

Picked up my Bioshock 2 along with Mass Effect 2, Dante's Inferno and Tatsunoku vs Capcom today. Can you believe they gave me Big/Little Sister figures, $30 in gift cards AND Tatsunoku vs Capcom for free? I can't help but feel they didn't think out that sale very well.
</BRAG>

Anyhow, I've spent the early morning today playing Bioshock 2 and just picked up my second adoptee. I haven't played multiplayer yet, but it looks fantastic as well. For those of you playing the game, without spoilers, who do you think is craziest of the bunch? The Narcissist, the communist or the capitalist?

You're a good interviewer. Not too over the top and not awkward. Props.
