Wow. They're just talking about Halo dude. I don't know where all the annoyance is coming in this thread.
Jason Behr, a major designer dude from Retro studios works for 343.

It's that Microsoft kool-aid, that shit is strong. Brain washes people into staying on message as much as possible.

Honestly, I'd rather Ryan Payton talk about why he left 343 but that'll never happen.

THIS. You know that's got to be an interesting story.

Because no other developer guests this week have come on and talked about their game this long. It just feels out of place for their E3 podcasts.

Forgotten Xcom?

Yeah, but can you imagine any of them talking about it?
"Yeah, so Ryan wanted to make an ambitious, genre defining game but Microsoft just wanted another Halo so he decided to leave and go make Republique".
I don't think that conversation will ever happen. lol

I'm pretty sure I heard about Borderlands and XCOM for about 2 hours straight...
Give me a break.
Sounded like creative differences. He wanted to take Halo in one direction, but wasn't the path 343 ended up going down.
Do we know who's coming, though?

Can we all agree that the best part of the 10 hours of podcasts so far is Jaffe, who had no game to pimp?
Oh, and Hawktaku of course.
Stepto and E.
Then direct your hate to Ryan and Brad who are directing the questions. They were invited, and they're talking about their game.
I know John Drake and Eric Pope will be there.
Dude, this really shouldn't have worked, but 343 is just awesome enough to make this work.
lol,
stepto doesn't work at Microsoft anymore right? I thought he left a few months back.
Direct your hate to the people that keep poking the topic.
He was good last year too, because he wasn't trying to pimp Twisted Metal the entire time and actually went off the list of talking points. He was honest and had fun with the conversation.
Edit: Thanks David Ellis.

True enough, but it was at least broken up by people goofing off. This really does just feel like a straight up professional interview (which is not at all what I want from a GB after hours podcast) Don't get me wrong, I love the Halo games but I am just not interested in this type of information dump at this very moment.
Jaffe, Geoff. This year's podcasts have been very tame in comparison to previous e3's, for sure.

Finally something other than halo
Best moment is Ed Boon's FUCK THIS PLACE!
Incidentally, not much was talked about his game Injustice, just the right amount. This, on the other hand, is ridiculous.

May the Schwartz be with you

Yaaay.
Like I said earlier in the thread, Ryan did a better job at cutting people off and moving on last year, I think. I think he's just trying to be polite this time, but it tends to make the conversation one-note.
