Hello, PlayStation Nation! This summer I’m hosting “Conversation with Creators,” a series of roundtable discussions with some of the most incredible and talented game creators on the planet. (I know, it’s a little on the nose, but we all figured you should know exactly what you’re getting into, because we respect your time, and Dragon Age: Inquisition isn’t going to play itself while you try to figure out if you want to watch a new show)
The series is presented by PlayStation Store and the first episode premieres July 7th. Here’s a little preview of what you can expect:

We’ll release new episodes, every Tuesday in the US and Canada, on PlayStation Store. You’ll get them for the low, low price of FREE on your PS3, PS4, and PS Vita. What’s that? You loaned your device to your cousin and she went out of town, locked it in her house, and didn’t give you the key? Don’t worry. If you don’t want to try out those lock-picking skills just yet, we’re also going to make our episodes available on PlayStation’s YouTube channel.
So, I hope you’ll join me and some really interesting people as we talk about games like Destiny, Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, Uncharted, The Last of Us, God of War and more. I’ve already taped a couple of episodes, and I’ve had some really fascinating conversations about the similarities and differences between videogames and movies, the origins of Destiny, and exactly how The Last Of Us scared the hell out of us all, while simultaneously making us care about Joel and Ellie more than we care for actual people we work with in our real lives. Yes, Mark, I’m looking at you. You are never going to get a spot in my zombie survival compound, Mark.
If you’re interested in hearing about how the games we love were brought to life from ideas to actual worlds we can visit, you’re going to love this show. And if you’re not, that’s okay. I could probably use your help in some Destiny raids, anyway. Seriously, you should see me dance. I’m amazing.Here’s a list of our upcoming episodes and creators:
Episode 1: Bungie – July 7th
Episode 2: Naughty Dog – July 14th
Episode 3: Treyarch – July 21st
Episode 4: Santa Monica Studio – July 28th
Oh, and one more thing! Beginning today, through June 23rd at noon Pacific Time, I’m giving two PlayStation fans an amazing opportunity. Submit that question you’ve been dying to ask of the Treyarch and/or Santa Monica Studio teams in the comments section below and I will select the top question for each studio and ask it during our taping on June 23rd.

Your pal, Wil Wheaton
You must be joking…right? o.O
I mean…between the failed PS Underground thing…and now this…I miss that cool time when we had Pulse & Qore as “PSN Series”… *sigh*
YouTube FTW!
lol
Also…Wil Wheaton…what the heck happened to you, man? o.O
You were cool once…and now you’re a talk show anchorman? Wesley Crusher has fallen into a black hole…so sad. =(
You should’ve stayed as a support character in The Big Bang Theory…but I guess a paycheck is a paycheck, huh?
I love behind the scenes stuff like this. What a great line up for the first few episodes. Congrats Wil, looking forward to watching!
@ckoerner : Umm…I think you’re a lil’ bit confused there, fella! =P
It’s NOT a “behind the scenes” thing…it’ll be just Wil Wheaton talking with some high-ranking people of the VG industry ABOUT SOME famous video games.
You know…things like:
Wil Wheaton: “So…THE LAST OF US! What a ride, man! How does it feel to have made one of the best things in video game history?”
Naughty Dog’s Big Kahuna: “Well…it was such a joy. And a crazy journey. With Uncharted we set the bar fairly high, and people was expecting certain kind of “gaming experience” that was really hard to surpass. We were all dead afraid of the fans’ reaction.”
WW: “And then…everyone fell in love with Joel & Ellie’s story.”
NDBK: “Yeah…thank God.”
WW: “So what does Naughty Dog has in comparison with other developers to be able to do such an amazing game?”
NDBK: “Well…first and foremost an extraordinary, talented and emotionally-rich group of people…”
etc. etc.
So…no behind the scenes. Just another kinda boring “talk show”. *sigh*
Okay, after reading several replies by @Orpheus_Aeons here on this page, I gotta ask… Are you a disgruntled 12 year old trying (and failing spectacularly) to get on a power trip? A lot of your responces have ranged from ridiculously biased and ill-informed to downright bullying. Do you actually have something intelligent ans constructive to add to the conversation, or are you just trolling and I should just outright skip over any posts with your name? I’m just curious.
