Rory McGuire bears a heavy burden. As lead game designer at High Moon Studios, he's been commissioned with overseeing development on what one might call "another movie-to-game adaptation" called Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy. As we all know, knee-jerk reactions to such developments is universally negative, and for good reason. Yet, as Rory is quick to point out, the game is more of a compendium to the films than a straight adaptation; another way of putting the audience/player in the shoes of the hyperaware malfunctioning 30 million dollar weapon that is Jason Bourne. Last week I got the opportunity to sit down with Rory at High Moon and discuss a variety of topics including Matt Damon, single-player experiences, and casual sex as it applies to the gaming industry.

Forgot to mention it but the audio differs in quality because it came from two different sources.
Really good interview, although it would be good to have a text version (and have this posted in interviews) as well, hint hint.
I really glad they decided to delay it instead of shipping it with Ultimatum.
