The Bobby Blackwolf Show

518 - 03/13/16 Bobby Blackwolf Show - Interview with Andrew and Brenna Byrd, Linguists From Far Cry Primal

  • We have a LIVE interview with Andrew and Brenna Byrd, linguist professors at the University of Kentucky who created the Wenja language in Far Cry Primal. They maintain an online presence called "Speaking Primal" and take questions on their Twitter feed. This interview beings 24 minutes into the podcast.
  • But first, I got to try the HTC Vive Pre and I talk about why it's probably going to be the best VR hardware to come out in 2016, and why it's the most expensive.
  • I put out a documentary/movie/video thing on the Voice of Geeks Network YouTube channel documenting my road trip to MAGFest because I did it in a Tesla Model S 70D - an all electric vehicle.

Since you'll be talking about PlayStation VR on this episode, here's something funny.

On Amazon UK if you go onto the product page for PS VR, people are already posting reviews for something that's not even out yet, just to argue. The reviews are still there at the time of posting this comment. But do you think Amazon should allow people to post reviews of products that aren't out yet? Asking questions if fine, but really reviews?

As for me, I'm still on the fence about PS VR. I have a PS Move controller from last generation, but I never got the camera for the PS4. I'm hoping there's a bundle with the camera at a slight discount. The bundles I've seen so far on retailers, they just bundle the camera in, and are charging full price for it.

Speaking of retailers, GAME want a £100 deposit, but if you pre order online, they don't want anything - weird.

Some questions:

How are you feeling about PS VR, do you think it has potential?

I wear glasses for gaming, would PS VR be okay?

This might be too early to say, but will you be developing games for PS VR?

Will the VOG site have VR features in the future?

Finally, are you happy to be reading a show comment out, since no one posts them much?

Oops, totally missed your replies in the last episode comments section. Yeah the 20% games discount for Prime members isn't applied until it's in your cart and on the final purchase screen. It's great Amazon decided to compete with the Best Buy Gamer's Club deal, which I almost signed up for just before this change was made. They must have read my tweets.

And if you tend to get lucky with Amazon deliveries, you may not have to wait until release day. My last two games have showed up a day early. I saw people on Twitter complaining about having bought the digital version of Twilight Princess HD but not getting to play it until midnight while a lot of their friends who got it via Amazon could play early.

It's always interesting to hear stuff about languages and how the work. And in this case, how it got created.

Great interview!
