CGR posted an interview with Harvey Smith (Ion Storm game designer) obviously about their upcoming Unreal engine based role playing game Deus Ex, as well as a few other titles.

GA-Source has a new interview with Jason Hall of Monolith talking to him about their LithTech2 engine based game Sanity.

Speedy3D has another interview up today, this time around they chat with Mikael Lindgren of Nerve Lab Studios talking about the new game he and his co-workers are developing, Reborn. (A FPS game). They also have some new screenshots to take a gander at.

XGamerz has a Sanity interview with Kevin Lambert of Monolith Productions.

Games-On-Line has an interview with Mark Rein of Epic Games talking about Unreal Tournament. Thanks loony

A couple more GearBox interviews for you guys over at Halflife.org. You can have a look at what Mike Wardwell (level designer) as well as Rob Heironimus (also level designer) have to say about their work on the Half-Life expansion pack.

Speedy3D has a nice new interview with the guys who worked on TreadMarks which we saw a "test demo" of released about a month ago I believe. You can check out the CGO preview of the game while you're at it.

The Planet-Tribes guys have busted out a nice quick interview with Lincoln Hutton of Dynamix about their single player style version of TRIBES which was conceived just a couple of months ago.

PCParadox has a new interview with Rex Dickson, the lead producer/designer working on Revenant right now. The game looks like a sooped-up Diablo or something.

The GA-RPG guys have slapped up a new interview with Ray Gresko of Nihilistic asking about Vampire: Masquerade. It's a pretty lengthy interview and well worth the look if you're interested in Vampire. (Which you should be)

The AMD K7 Athlon press just doesnt stop does it? GlideUnderground chats with a AMD rep asking a number of good technical questions on what the K7 is all about. As I mentioned yesterday the benchmarks that came out as well as John Carmacks' praise of the CPU are some serious considerations.

The 200Mhz bus should be considered the bus between the CPU and the system logic (northbridge). The buses off of the chipset (AGP, memory, PCI, etc) are capable of running at speeds distinct from the 200Mhz connection between the CPU and system logic. We haven't talked about the details of the specific implementations or how these will affect overall system performance. Without going into too much detail on performance levels, I can say that the AMD Athlon processor is the industry's first seventh generation CPU and that we plan to demonstrate this level of performance through industry accepted benchmarks

The guys at GameFan finally got their turn in the line to interview Scott Youngblood of Dynamix to talk about TRIBES and more specifically TRIBES2. For the curious here are some screenshots: shot1 shot2 shot3 shot4 shot5 shot6.

PCParadox has an interview with Richard Baker of AMD talking about the new K7 Athlon CPU that we should be able to get a hold of within a month. Also make sure and check out the Athlon benchmarks that came out a couple days ago.

Does the release of the PIII Coppermine worry you at all, regarding the speed increases that Intel will get with its move to on-die cache and Copper technology?
No. Athlon has 128k of on-die cache and as you will see from the performance metrics which we have already published on our web site, we expect to outperform coppermine when it finally comes out in November. Also coppermine will debut at 600 Mhz, we have 600 Mhz now. Again, coppermine does not use copper interconnect.

A couple bits of RUNE info for you guys. You can check out this page for a couple of new screenshots of the HumanHead Studios game in action. On that same page there is an interview with Tim Gerritsen of the development team.

One of the coolest things I saw at E3 was the LithTech2.0 technology demo. Flipcode takes a peak at this engine in the form of an interview with Mike Dussault:

The landscapes we're working on don't really classify as a special effect, but they will be pretty impressive. The E3 demo we did really only was the beginning. Things that helped the landscapes look good were volumetric fog, the water reflection, and detail textures. The scale is also pretty staggering. We are going to great pains to not have a fog-clipping-plane thing in our terrains :)

Developer Quest Magazine picks Aaron Leiby's (SFX programmer at Legend) brain on general Wheel of Time development stuff and, of course, eye candy:

I also like to think of myself as the Special Effects programmer for WoT. I've added a few of the cooler features (IMHO) to WoT. Such features include weather effects like the rain we showed off at E3, and a generalized particle system that we use extensively throughout WoT -- from the ter'angreal effects to campfires to healing zones. I also added the ability to leave scorchmarks and bloodsplatters on surfaces throughout the levels. This increases the player's immersion level by making them feel like they're really affecting the level around them -- many times, it's the simple things that make the biggest impact. Such effects usually stem from one of the level designers coming down to my office and saying, "you know what would be cool...", and shortly thereafter, its in the game. I provide the toys, and the level designers use them in their levels.

S3 is interviewed over at CTNews about the usual things.

More Sanity interview stuff going on at PCParadox.

SOFNews interviews ole Kenn of Raven about none other than SOF (as the site name would imply). We've seen all the screenshots, but what about the multiplayer?

Kenn: Multiplayer is looking good right now and, because of games like Q3 and UT, it has to look good. I think that the vast number of multiplayer options available in the game will be a big hit. There are several game modes available, tons of skin and weapon options and some really cool levels to run around in. Single player is our main focus for SoF, but we think that the multiplayer aspect should be considered equally as important. (Does that make sense? I think I need another cup of coffee... =) )

Also at UU, PSX (Playstation?) interviews Mike Werckle about Rune, a game using the Unreal engine from Human Head (!). Wow, he even sneaked in a Britney Spears question:

UU: Do you think Britney Spear's 'twins' fake?

Mike: I have no idea :)
