EFWSOT with Lyle Hall
from Everything's Fine We're Shipping On Time Hosted by Short Stax Media
From 16-Bit Classics to Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 | Everything's Fine We're Shipping on Time How does a career evolve from faxing bug reports for Sega Genesis games to leading the charge on modern cooperative shooters? In this episode of Everything's Fine We're Shipping on Time, Ric and Gary sit down with industry veteran Lyle Hall. As the General Manager of Cold Iron Studios and the former GM of Heavy Iron Studios, Lyle has had his hands on everything from 90s classics like The Terminator and Gex, to massive Pixar tie-ins (The Incredibles, WALL-E), to the upcoming Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2. We dive into the evolution of game development, the shift in how players discover and consume games today, and why the current AI disruption feels a lot like the industry’s historic leap into 3D. What you’ll learn in this episode: The realities of shipping 13 episodic games day-and-date with a TV show. Why the leap to 3D was just as divisive as the current AI conversation. How player behavior has fundamentally changed "discovery" and multiplayer experiences.
