Diddy Kong Racing / The Lost World: Jurassic Park / Skullmonkeys

This week, Ken Lobb from Nintendo tells us what we can expect from Diddy Kong Racing. It's much more than a cartoon racer. Then Tommy gets prehistoric with The Lost World: Jurassic Park for the Saturn (and the PSX). How involved was Steven Spielberg with this title? Producer Patrick Gilmore provides some insight. And how did they know how to animated the dinosaurs when no one has ever seen one moving, or stationary for that matter! Tommy asks animator Sunil Thankamushy. Kelly Benson chats about making videogame music and music technology with guitar gods Joe Satriani and Steve Vai. To let you know just how zany this business can be, the irrepressible Doug TenNapel takes us on a tour of his Neverhood studios. You'll see the painstaking process and warped creativity behind the game the Neverhood and the upcoming Skullmonkeys. Vic chats with Sarah Mason about HEAT.net and the HEAT.net Reverend answers the question, "How will multiplayer gaming change the way we play?".
