Well, I do think it's really interesting that so I do like that this game's version of the GTA 3 and Vice City the bridges are opened up so you can go to these different places experiences like, you know, big chunks these map the map uncovering and I think as exciting as that ever gets in this game is when you go from this the bridges and San Fierro finally open up because you see their version of the Golden Gate Bridge and and you know, there's more world off in the distance and you know, obviously we play the GTA this game before and PS2, but that's still quite exciting. I think when those bridges open

I think when those bridges open town at the very North, they never really use. That's just sort of there. It's I don't know if they either didn't have missions for it. They just wanted the extra detail of well, this bridge out of San Francisco has to go somewhere. So but Watch Dogs ...

of geography communicated in the music as well as the the map itself. So San Fierro, yeah, you get there about probably at the end of the first act of the game. Really, it's sort of like, well, I guess in the first act is Los Santos and then there's sort of this bridge bit in between in the countryside and then San Fierro, you get this little garage and then you start getting in with the cartels alliance of drug distribution. ...

employee and it was sort of dared into existence by the developers are like you sure you want to have b mario in here and then before you know it they've built entire levels around b mario i just kind of wanted to hear what you thought about this emerging generation of designers because they must have all been in their 20s and 30s at the time yes they they are now they are now senior devs on the likes of donkey con bonanza i mean they they they're they're like hugely important figures that and that's what i love about these interviews is you read them and then it's like you know this guy who's relatively low on this team is now super important so the two big names from the junior batch to look out for here you've got heioshida who is basically in charge of like the general level flow of the games you get the feeling that beneath kazumi who is the director heioshida's probably got the most impact on what mario galaxy looks like he's the one who evangelizes

precious and you know is the thing that's keeping you alive suddenly having this character who can destroy everything becomes a bit of a liability and i think there's some interesting tensions there there's some wild visual invention to this game and i gave it four stars in my guardian review which is why i maybe wasn't thinking of it for for number one but what has happened since then is the release of the the dlc emerald rush now i know this is slightly cheating because the core game doesn't have the dlc i wish it did i think it's really really dumb that it doesn't i think at the very least nintendo should add emerald rush to the nintendo switch online subscription like they did with the splatoon dlc so if you have the core game you get this as a freebie because i think it is a quietly extraordinary mode in terms of unlocking the full potential of that character in his moveset and actually making a game type that makes maybe more sense for him than anything in the single player game emerald rush if you haven't played it is a rogue light mode so despite

after playing these missions again does it make sense that this is where rockstar decides to focus its creative energy for the next game matthew it is incredibly exciting like i obviously appreciate the massive leap to gta5 in terms of selling you on the fantasy of the heist like the build up to it in gta5 and the build up to each of those heists and sort of casing the joint and putting together your crew is so much of what makes them work and gives the mission like a real charge you feel super invested in them because you have planned them but i'd say this has enough of the magic in the moment like there is just something very otherworldly about emerging from the bank and the street is just clear of everything but policemen and it's probably one of the longest stretches you'll do in this game on foot you know unless you choose to get out of a car and go exploring like i drove everywhere and just being running across the road and then down the alley and through the trains and it also gives you you know it's an illusion and it's a scripted route
