Feargus Urquhart - Interview @ Matt Chat

[Couchpotato]

In the latest Matt Chat video he interviews Feargus Urquhart the CEO of Obsidian Entertainment about Southpark, Pillars of Eternity, and more.

Feargus Urquhart is the CEO of Obsidian Entertainment and one of the all-round coolest dudes in the videogame industry. In this first installment of our epic chat, Feargus and I talk about South Park, Pillars of Eternity, the planned sequel, and a zombie Western game that is possibly in the works...He also draws a line between the Skyrim fan and the potential audience of Pillars of Eternity. There's a line in the sand for console vs. PC CRPG fans.

More information.

Great interview, he and Fargo are my top two picks for gaming CEOs.

I'd love a cheeky kungfu or zombie western rpg using Eternity's engine! Hopefully they have the courage to try it and people have the courage to buy it!

I wonder if Feargus has heard of Hard West? On kickstarter, a horror western, with tactical turn based combat.

And I just wish he recycles his old posts from BiS forum with a story about Interplay veto. I can't find them any more.

Here is an interesting article about the subject matter. You might find it interesting:

He probably has, considering Chris Avellone is backing it (and his tweet is quoted near the top of the project page).
