Title: Re: Matt Barton interviews Fred Ford and Paul Reiche, III Post by: Novus on March 27, 2011, 02:12:33 pm For those of you who see it's a 25 minute part I and wonder whether its worth watching, the answer is definitely a yes if you want to know:
Also, the rest of professor Barton's Matt Chat series is also worth looking at for the retrogaming fan. Title: Re: Matt Barton interviews Fred Ford and Paul Reiche, III Post by: meep-eep on March 27, 2011, 04:39:58 pm It is indeed interesting and enjoyable to watch.
Also, the rest of professor Barton's Matt Chat series is also worth looking at for the retrogaming fan. I noticed Mail Order Monsters (by PR3) is in there. I never saw that game in action before, so that was interesting as well.Title: Re: Matt Barton interviews Fred Ford and Paul Reiche, III Post by: Uejji on March 27, 2011, 06:38:25 pm Also, the rest of professor Barton's Matt Chat series is also worth looking at for the retrogaming fan. Absolutely. I've been subscribed to Matt Barton's channel for quite some time, and it's a real treat for fans of retrogaming of any type, be it PC, console or tabletop. He does brief game playthroughs, but in my opinion his more exciting videos are when he scores interviews with these legendary game designers. To name a few -- John Romero, Arnold Hendrick, "Burger" Heineman, and of course Ford and Reiche, III. He had hinted several episodes back that he was going to try to get an interview with Ford and Reiche, III, so I had been anticipating this video for some time.

Bizarrely enough, one of the most interesting things for me is hearing just how Paul and Fred pronounce the names of some of the aliens (and Riku's last name, which is something I could never figure out on my own). I guess I've been pronouncing Chenjesu wrong all these years (among others). Title: Re: Matt Barton interviews Fred Ford and Paul Reiche, III Post by: Novus on April 02, 2011, 10:11:52 am Part II is actually even more awesome than part I. :D

I guess I've been pronouncing Chenjesu wrong all these years (among others). The 3DO voices are mostly consistent with Paul's and Fred's pronunciation, but there are a few surprising differences in some places (I think every voice actor pronounces 'Mmrnmhrm' differently). However, they mispronounce Riku's name; it should be something like /ˈriku ˈnuo̯ttɑjærʋi/ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPA_for_Estonian_and_Finnish). In particular, Finnish doesn't have a /d͡ʒ/ sound, the dots in 'ä' indicate that it's pronounced /æ/, not /ɑ/, and the distinction between short and long vowels (and likewise for consonants) is very important in Finnish.Title: Re: Matt Barton interviews Fred Ford and Paul Reiche, III Post by: Uejji on April 10, 2011, 07:09:28 am Part 3 (the final part) is now up.

Title: Re: Matt Barton interviews Fred Ford and Paul Reiche, III Post by: Death 999 on April 12, 2011, 05:49:37 pm Well, this is an oddly placed post, being in the café rather than GD. I like that they really want to get back to Star Control, but that's not news. News is them getting permission/a contract to return to Star Control.
That would cause me to whoop-de-dee and trolly bazoo greatly. Title: Re: Matt Barton interviews Fred Ford and Paul Reiche, III Post by: meep-eep on April 12, 2011, 06:25:21 pm I guess the future SC should from here on be called "Star Control Returns".
I'm wondering what I should make of that "Let's call it 'Star Control Returns'". He obviously thought about the name before, but the "or something along those lines" was a bit too nonchalant for me. Title: Re: Matt Barton interviews Fred Ford and Paul Reiche, III Post by: Draxas on April 12, 2011, 07:00:53 pm Honestly I'm surprised that the response to this has been rather dry. It's an awesome interview, but I said that twice already. And as the others have mentioned, only confirmation of TFB working on a new SC game is really going to get people excited at this point. Title: Re: Matt Barton interviews Fred Ford and Paul Reiche, III Post by: oldlaptop on April 12, 2011, 10:27:40 pm Honestly I'm surprised that the response to this has been rather dry. I'd say getting four out of the eight or so active UQMF members in a thread is a pretty warm reception. :) Title: Re: Matt Barton interviews Fred Ford and Paul Reiche, III Post by: Lukipela on April 14, 2011, 07:18:26 am Honestly I'm surprised that the response to this has been rather dry. There is some discussion on this over at the SCDB as well, but not that much. I can't speak for anyone else, but SC wise I felt that these interviews only rehashed what we've heard before; the Creators want and intend to make a sequel but can't right now. Of course, they were filled with a lot of other interesting stuff as well.

I like that they really want to get back to Star Control, but that's not news. News is them getting permission/a contract to return to Star Control. That would cause me to whoop-de-dee and trolly bazoo greatly. To be honest, I originally posted this in General Discussion, but it was moved to Starbase Cafe. I know this is a Star Control community, and they didn't talk a *whole* lot about Star Control, nor was there some major Star Control-related announcement, but honestly I haven't seen any sort of interaction with PR3 and FF since that IRC interview a few years back. Personally I was super stoked to see them being interviewed by a fellow gamer and fellow fan of TFB games. Title: Re: Matt Barton interviews Fred Ford and Paul Reiche, III Post by: Lukipela on April 17, 2011, 09:33:26 pm I count seven people over here and twelve on the SCDB discussing (some overlap). That's pretty much what is left of the fandom :)
Title: Re: Matt Barton interviews Fred Ford and Paul Reiche, III Post by: lakota.james on April 20, 2011, 05:19:39 am There are people lurking, though, I'm sure. Like me. :p
Title: Re: Matt Barton interviews Fred Ford and Paul Reiche, III Post by: Chmmr on April 20, 2011, 06:46:19 am I'm still here as well. On & off
Title: Re: Matt Barton interviews Fred Ford and Paul Reiche, III Post by: countchocula86 on April 20, 2011, 09:34:39 pm I love the explanation of wanting a house out in the woods, but also wanting to be able to protect yourself from bears or monsters :P Just brilliant!
Title: Re: Matt Barton interviews Fred Ford and Paul Reiche, III Post by: ziper1221 on April 21, 2011, 03:28:02 am yeah well, I watched the first interview but I didnt find it that interesting so I didnt watch the others.
Title: Re: Matt Barton interviews Fred Ford and Paul Reiche, III Post by: fwiffo on August 17, 2011, 02:41:17 pm That was quite entertaining. I especially liked the story about the Pkunk special ability, and also the Little Witching Mischiefs development tale.
Title: Re: Matt Barton interviews Fred Ford and Paul Reiche, III Post by: nightshadow on August 17, 2011, 08:51:13 pm We are all around, but since news have been quite rare these days, I just peek at the foruns every other month or so...
This was a great interview, but I agree that only a new Star Control announcement could heat up this place :) I think the Ur-Quan Masters should be published on digital platforms like STEAM to rise the interest on a sequel. Regards and lets keet Star Controling... |
