Get the Inside Scoop on What's Happening at EA

Dan Lingen (@huskyhog) got a chance to speak with Product Manager Alex Charlow about Brutal Legend and it's showing at San Diego Comic Con.

We made it to day four of San Diego Comic Con. To be honest, I had moments of doubt that Dan & I would see it through. If you've never been to the show, you can't fathom how grueling it really can be. There's so much to see, so much to do, it really does take all four days to experience it all.

Today was spent talking with some of the fans who swung by the EA Booth to get their thoughts on what they saw and played. It was only a few quick segments, but it's really good to get that instant feedback and impression for someone seeing a game like Brutal Legend for the first time. The ironic thing is that you'd be surprised how many say they would love to be on camera, until one is put in front of them; and that's when they become the "shy and quiet type". (continue reading…)

Today had a bit of a different focus as we spent more time on the talent at the show then with the gaming crew. We did interviews with the artist for the Dead Space Extraction preview comic, Ben Templesmith, an interview with Chris Bachalo, who is creating art for the upcoming Army of Two: The 40th Day game, and for fun an interview with an artist I greatly admire from Marvel Comics,Leinil Frances Yu.

The slower pace today had allowed me to actually see some of the show floor. Having not looked at the official schedule of panels or talent appearances I was blown away to see the likes of Leonard Nimoy, Brent Spiner, Adam Baldwin, Edward James Olmos, Tyrese Gibson, and tons more. San Diego Comic Con planted its roots in the comics industry, but has grown to be so much more. This show is THE place to be for anything in the realm of mainstream entertainment.

Day Four is right around the corner and with shortened hours of the show, is sure to still be a scrambling madhouse of fun. Let's go out with a bang!
