Hey, everyone! I hope you are having a good break and if you are not on break I hope you get to have one soon. I just wanted to swing by and let you know this was recorded wayyyy back in November so we didn’t get to talk about the GOTY awards and recognition Hades has got since then. It was a ton of fun to talk with Greg and this is easily one of my favorite videos that I have worked on this year. Thanks to all of you for stopping by and I hope everyone has a rad new year!
Had this game since early access.
Don't have a single bad thing to say about it.
This just became my favorite vid on the channel! Amazing interview! Thanks so much!
The VO in this game is ridiculous. Just the sheer number of unique lines in itself is mind boggling
I started playing games back in the SNES era and this game seems like the thing I should just love. I can't get into it. The moment to moment action doesn't feel fun. Can anyone suggest any hooks I'm missing? I put tens of hours into Dead Cells, loving the feel of an old-school game. This game just doesn't give me any of that same feel.
Awesome team, awesome interview
Great interview! I thought it flowed really well and kept a good tone throughout. I, too, am incredibly biased towards this game and was desperately hoping for a big sweep at the game awards. I'm just glad that this game and the efforts of all the people at Supergiant have been recognized to the extent that it has. I've been following their work for a while now and I'm eager to see what they come up with next.
Me: God i'd kill to get this on PS4…
Thanatos: Oh?
Me: Oh boy gulp
More interviews please
This was brilliant! Great interview & work Evan!
My God Greg Kasavin is bald, he's one of the earliest game reviewer I ever watched in the early 2000.
this sounds and looks a lot like the second last gamemode for dota 2. That was in the Battlepass. Looks great!
They take inspiration from Dota. Now it makes so much sense.
I love Evan and I love these interviews. So amazing!!
Love hades so this interview was super cool
This guy is incredibly well spoken and insightful! Very good interview. Some developers let their nerves get the best of them, but this man has a gift for gab. Love it
Pls release on PS/XB!!
YO GREG KASAVIN???
I remember when he was editor in chief at GameSpot! THIS is what he's been up to all this time? Good for him, man.
I hate when they half-ass things like game footage and use extremely outdated early access footage instead of footage from the current version…
One of my teachers said the exact same thing, superhero comics (etc) are modern mythology, when I studied literature for a while at the beginning of my university studies. It's a pantheon of established superhuman characters that different authors use for their own stories.
Ugh this fkn guy is the worst…….: where the fk is Lana?
"You have your ideal AM game where you farm up and dominate, but If things don't go your way you have to go plan B"
Plan B in Dota : gg ff shit team
Look at this journalism!
man I wish these guys would have won game of the year cause they would have truly deserved it and the comparisons to dota 2 blew me away I don't know how I didn't see it before cause once it was pointed out it seemed kind of obvious not sure why anybody at IG would laugh at Evan cause he was spot on
I remember Greg from GameSpot, pretty sure he was the one who reviewed Oblivion, or did something with it where a fire alarm interrupted the video.
I got it for Christmas and I have already logged in 40 hours. This game is straight up the most fun I've had with a video game in years. I'm looking forward to whatever Supergiant does next!
Awesome interview!
imagine if warcraft frozen throne didn't have a custom game mode. 3 of the biggest mobas wouldn't exist.
No decent game has ever been inspired by LoL. But many have been by Dota. That's what it means to have your game designed by IceFrog versus by slimes trying to leech off of a genius.
I had no intentions of playing this game. But now I bought this just because he talked about DOTA
No wonder I like Dota and Rougelike so much.
The artwork in this game is phenomenal
Pls make this game available for other consoles as well like ps4. I wanna play it there.
Is there a hades mod in dota? Haven't played dota in a while
When GameSpot was good….
Greg Kasavin is an absolute legend.
I remember this guy reviewing games on Gamespot!
Holy shit I remember this guy from gamespot
Hey really love your content this is awesome . What is your preferred camera you use for filmmaking, I'd love to have a conversation and maybe even collaborate on different methods in telling stories through film!
I wish they would make a physical copy
