Back in June we managed to catch up with AJ Locascio, who is the voice actor behind Marty McFly in the new Back to the Future games. E3 was a pretty busy time for everyone, so rather than publishing it back then, we decided to time the release of the interview with our review of the game. Feel free to check out the review here, and watch the interview below.

During Sony’s conference at E3, a surprising face took the stage. Ken Levine spoke on behalf of Sony, more particularly the PlayStation Move. What we had all thought impossible became a reality when Levine announced that Bioshock: Infinite would indeed offer Move support.

BioShokc: Infinite takes players away from Rapture – far away into the sky to be exact. Players will find themselves aboard Columbia, a new city built in the clouds. Placed in the shoes of Booker DeWitt, a former Pinkerton agent faced with the task of rescuing a damsel in distress and bringing her back down to the ground.

Levine sat down and provided an interview before the E3 conference, giving us just a bit more insight to the story behind Bioshock: Infinite. Though he announced that the game will support the move, he didn’t offer any other details to how it will be incorporated. Check out the interview video below to catch up on the great game that’s coming in 2012.

The last thing we would want to do is spoil the ending of a great video game. If you haven’t beaten Portal 2 yet then you need to go get that handled, and then come take a look back here. If you have beaten that awesome game, though, then we have a treat for you. See what happens when you accomplish things?

The guys at Rock, Paper, Shotgun were able to sit down with Valve’s Chet Faliszek and Jay Pinkerton, both writers for Portal 2. Both guys take the time to shed light on early designs of the game as well as how it felt to work with J.K Simmons and Stephen Merchant, both actors who offered their voices to the game. There is even talk of GLaDOS and her evolutionary stages throughout the story in the Portal series.

The interview is a great read, and it’s perfect for fans of the game. To see the whole interview, head over to the post here. It’s great to hear from those who helped create a game that we all love, wouldn’t you agree? What has been your favorite part of Portal 2 so far?

While at C2E2 a couple of weekends back, we had the pleasure of meeting up with Claudio Sanchez. He is most well-known for his work with Coheed and Cambria, as well as The Amory Wars. Since we try to promote creativity here at GamerFront, it’s nice to chat with someone who has experienced success in their artistic endeavors such as this. Be sure to check out the newest comic, and catch the band when they head out on tour a little later this year.

Felicia Day, perhaps best well known for The Guild webseries, isn’t waiting around for work. She is currently donning her elf ears, daggers, and studded leather armor in the new webseries based off the Dragon Age video game.

Day is playing Tallis, an elf assassin who is hired by the Quinari to track down a wanted rogue mage who has his mind set on wreaking havoc across the land. She is joined by a misfit band of heroes who don’t exactly get along, but they band together when they need to get the job done.

Internet gaming site io9 spoke with Day in an exclusive interview about the webseries as well as her thoughts on the project. To see the interview, be sure to head over to io9′s site here.

I know I am excited for the webseries when it hits the web later this year. Are you?

Con season starts once again and we at GamerFront decided to kick it off with one of our newest shindigs: Cosplay Shorts! Cosplay Shorts will be our short interviews we have with various cosplayers around conventions. So if you can spot us at the next con near you, why not come over ot us and tell us a bit about your costume? You could be our next interview-ee!

And as for our first interviews, we didn’t even test the waters… We just jumped right in. We had life-sized props, jaw-moving-snakes, and face-painted kitties. Needless to say, all the costume we saw at Ohayocon were amazing, so we tried to find our favorites and interview them for what they do when they’re thinking on making costumes.

Cliff Bleszinsky was in the G4 studios recently, and he spoke for a bit about Gears of War 3. Being the head of Epic Games, which is the company behind the previous two Gears of War titles, Cliffy B. has plenty of input about the newest title in the shooter series.

Bleszinski chooses his words wisely, and makes good points when it comes to how designers make players want to “marry a game instead of just dating it.” He also explains how Versus Mode in Gears 3 is “his personal sweet spot.” Check out the interview video below.

A week ago we had the extreme honor of being able to go the Organic Armor Studio and see some of their work close up. Who are they you ask? Well, they make armor that is squishy; from the best way I can put it. We got to hear their personal story of how they got to where they are today, and how they’ve branched out from there. It’s always amazing to see exquisite work first-hand!

A big question some of you may ask is why did we interview this company? The answer to that question is that we think that they are awesome.  Plain and simple. Not to mention we have seen some of their work bring our world of video games to life, such as Tali from Mass Effect.

GamerFront is all about getting a closer look into all things gaming related, with a little cosplay thrown in for good measure. Just as video game designers create an imaginative world for you to be in virtually, Organic Armor brings you an inspired world to live in. The following is a little bit of what we experienced there.

There has been a lot of controversy over the new design for the main character of the new Devil May Cry reboot, the hero we all know as Dante. Capcom’s VP of Strategic Planning and Business Development, Christian Svensson, was nice enough to shed some light on why Capcom decided to completely redesign the character.

Here’s part of the interview:

“The original concepts that came back for Dante were actually extremely close to the Dante everyone knows and loves. The feedback that came back from [Keiji] Inafune and [Hideaki] Itsuno was, ‘No guys, this needs to be completely different, we need you to go much further and be much more creative.’

And literally dozens of potential iterations later became what we as a team felt comfortable and actually happy with.

I will argue that any changes will bring about a knee-jerk reaction from fans,” he said. “We know that; we knew that going into it. To be fair, I think some of the strategy here was to create that discussion and dialogue, and I think it drastically raises the visibility of the title versus if we had just done another Dante.

This is meant to be an origin story, so this is Dante before you knew who Dante was. There is going to be some interesting changes and twists to what people think they know about Dante or where he came from. We aren’t planning on deviating greatly from the path that is there.

There may still be some tweaks here or there – I’m not privy to what’s going on – but by and large that will be the direction the team is going down.”

A more full interview will be posted at IGN later this week. Svensson says that Capcom has no intentions of changing the character back to the way he looked in the first copies of Devil May Cry. This is their creative vision, and it will stay that way. Hopefully this helps players understand why the decisions were made to change what the company felt necessary to change.
