Fan Faire 2009 - Panels

[JonnyG]

I've transcribed one of the Agency panels from Fan Faire 2009. Part 2 covers the world, and also check out the Q&A Session #1 and Q&A Session #2.

M: Is everybody still all pumped up being here? Good…are you ready for tonight? We’ll go ahead and get started. Today we have our Agency panel. We’re going to go over some inspirations around The Agency, the art style, kind of the way we develop the world.

Then we’re going to show you some footage that I don’t believe we’ve shown even the press. So new stuff exclusively for you. Unless you were here yesterday. And if you were here yesterday, that’s…ah nevermind.

I've also uploaded some pictures from Fan Faire. Unfortunately, Bustenhause got to all the cool new stuff that you hadn't seen before. But we've got pics of the team and Fan Faire.

Check back over the next few days to see the Q&A from the other session, as well as interviews with Steve Kramer, Kevin O'Hara, and Matt Wilson.

Added another 11 minutes, it starts at.

So build your own agency, this also revolves around the operative side. When you first start out we're going to give you one operative similar to Moneypenny for James Bond or Chloe for Jack Bauer. You want someone that is helping you out, getting you used to the world. They are going to be able to help you on your first missions, kind of get you rolling.

Over time you are going to collect more operatives, you are going to build out your own agency. You are building it out one way or another, depending on what operatives you are collecting. Over time you are going to join up with other players and build a joint agency, which is the equivalent of our guild system. That's where you and other players will combine together to build other things. On top of that you'll be able to compete and do missions that you wouldn't normally be able to do on your own.

Add more to part 2, basically Matt's walkthrough of the video, and the Q&A session #1.

[Krypteia]

So you got some one on one time with devs JonnyG?

[JonnyG]

Yeah, I have interviews with Steve, Kevin, and Matt. Plans are to finish Q&A #2 hopefully tomorrow night. I'm on the road this week, so need to make some time. Then I'll start on the interviews.

[NeoVenom]

Very nice.

[JonnyG]

I'm slacking, by the time I get back to the hotel I don't have the energy to transcribe. So looks like Saturday before I get more.

I've added the Q&A Session #2

[Mendax]

Want it to come sooner =_=
Bought a PS3 just recently. I was going to play on the PC but I'll probably play on the PS3 now to score whatever trophies they put in the game.

That raises a question with their cross-platform goal they mentioned. If you did something that would earn you a trophy on the PC; would your game account store that and then award it next time you login on a PS3? Or would you have to be on a PS3 when it happens? Or would the PC version actually sync up with the PSN directly since we are talking SOE?

They announced at the Boston Fan Faire that the next one will be in San Fran, guess mid-America will have to wait.NruterLil AssassinQuellious-Ring Warden
