If you’ve got questions about the upcoming massively multiplayer online roleplaying game Aion, NCsoft’s new video podcast series should provide all the answers you need.

The first entry in the Aion video podcast series features members of the development team explaining everything you need to know about the game’s back story and lore. Why is the planet split in half? Why is everyone getting wings? Why is everyone so damn pretty? The answers lie within, except that last one.

Jaffe: Gears of War 2 Versus God of War 3, PS3 Versus Wii

Brian Crecente — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 13:00:00 +0000

Famed Playstation developer David Jaffe may seem like an odd choice for guest developer for our in-game podcast about the Xbox 360’s Gears of War 2.

We actually did invite Gears developer Cliff Bleszinski, but his handlers said he was too busy. But Jaffe certainly wasn’t some sort of alternate or sub, as the head of his relatively new studio, Eat, Sleep, Play and the lead designer of God of War for the Playstation 2, Jaffe knows his stuff. He also surprised quite a few people recently when he called Gears of War 2 not only the best game of the year, but the best looking console game he’s ever played.

Jaffe solidifies his position as one of Kotaku’s favourite developers in this podcast where he discusses what he likes about Gears, how God of War 3 will compare and his take on the Playstation 3’s successes and failures in 2008.

Despite being exclusive to Sony, Jaffe even talked about his interest in developing a Wii title.

The famously outspoken developer also talks about the ups and downs of blogging on his own site and how he too missed prom. We almost even got him to spill some beans on his next big project for the Playstation 3, but it sounds like we’re going to have to wait for an update on his blog for that.

Home Could Remain in Beta Indefinitely

Brian Crecente — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 13:00:00 +0000

Jack Buser, director of Home, was kind enough to join us for this podcast.

He let Fahey, Adam and I drop in to his surprisingly stark virtual home on the Playstation 3 were he talked about the future of the free virtual world and surprised all of us by saying there’s a good chance it will remain in beta indefinitely.

Call of Duty: World at War: Balancing Historic Realism With Fun

Brian Crecente — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 14:00:00 +0000

Mike and Owen spent about 30 minutes chatting with the Treyarch developers about Call of Duty World at War as they had their collective back sides handed to them in some competitive gameplay.

Tune in to hear Owen and Fahey quiz the devs about how real their rivalry is with Infinity Ward and whether the developers think about the living vets of the wars they turn into games.

Resistance 2 Podcast: Multiplayer Tweaks Coming

Brian Crecente — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 13:00:00 +0000

In this unedited sit down with the folks at Insomniac we hear a bit more about the developer’s future plans for Resistance 2’s multiplayer action.

We also hear how they think the game separates itself from all of those other shooters currently on the market. The audio in the recording is a bit janky, thanks to wobbly Skype, so it may sound a times that God has stepped in to have a chat as well, that most assuredly wasn’t the case.
