@JSE: he just created a new studio for EA (Victory Games)... I don't see him leaving so soon.

Ah, Command and Conquer. I should play that again someday. Red Alert was a lot of fun.

What is that golden dragon-like creature in the compendium? Looks awesome.

Awesome interview - great to see that JVC loves that M&M series continue.

@ Marzhin He went to NCSoft and Trion because he wanted to make an online game. He's working for EA now for a similar reason. That's the same thing he's wanted to do since he sold NWC to 3DO in 96. If Ubisoft had offered to let him make a M&M MMORPG, he might have gone to work for them.

Rift is pretty much JVC's MMO. I recently read that he turned C&C into an MMO as well!

UBI produced that video and you really think they'd release it if he said he hated what was happening. By the way I have some benchfront property in Nevada for sale.

I do believe he is happy his creation is still popular and finding a new audience.

He wants to make MMX, you can see it in his eyes.

Rift was originally called Heroes of Telara when JVC was working on it so I don't think he's quite over the M&M franchise.

Are there any other video interviews of JVC out there? This is the only one I've ever seen.

We have some audio of him from an old E3, no video.

The audio is not so good. Recording sound at E3 is a nightmare.
