- He looks very confident and rather laid back to me.

- Sound makes this unwatchable

- If we are going to go by body language, then explain to me why he scratched his nose after he said "it's enjoyable, it's a good game"? Touching your nose is a common gesture when someone is lying.

- Thank you for doing the interview, but I wish the sound was more clear.

- Good observation Fion, I wholeheartedly agree with you.

- Now could you possible have a lower standard, seriously... Not even worth watching!

- He also about 6ft 5' and those are small chairs. Im glad he went to the GDC again. He sorts the right stuff out.

- His body language is open, his hands are together which shows a solid posture and response. If he was lying, or being defensive, his arms would be crossed and he'd lean back and try to gain some distance from the interviewer.

- I think Jon asked the key question here: why the additional delay? And, what particular system is the problem? My impression from other interviews is that the combat system, which is what Funcom feels distinguishes them from others, is the problem. Gaute wisely sidestepped that quetion and used the old hack response "we're looking to polish". AOC might be ok, but Gaute's body language says things are a bit dicey. Tsk.

- wow horrible sound, not even worth watching.
Dameonk(posted Thu Feb 21 2008)
- Sounds like it was somehow double recorded... anyway.. horrible quality, it should have just been a transcript of the interview. Did you not listen to this first? :P
AmazingAvery(posted Wed Feb 20 2008)
- Thanks for doing the interview and video Jon

- cant listen 2 messed up
bvan00(posted Wed Feb 20 2008)
- would it be possible to post a transcript of the Q&A?
ABRaquel(posted Wed Feb 20 2008)
- I can't barely understand what Gaute is saying.
bvan00(posted Wed Feb 20 2008)
- I am not sure this should have been posted the sound is so bad.
Baio2k(posted Wed Feb 20 2008)
- This is obviously brand new as I am the first view, and I thought there may have been better questions to ask Gaute, however I am pleased by his answer and the manner in which he spoke of it. I believe him when he gives the reasons for the delay and also that this is the true release date. Let's hope it is true!
