Ragnar Tørnquist fra Red Thread Games er den femte og siste gjesten i vår spesialserie der vi ser nærmere på hvordan koronakrisen har påvirket norsk spillbransje. Tørnquist forteller også om hvordan studioet har vært et mål for sinte gamere, og at de faktisk har mottatt dødstrusler for innholdet i sine spill. Spillrevyen Spesial om koronakrisen er en serie laget i samarbeidet med Viken filmsenter. De tar i år over arrangøransvaret for Spillkonventet på Klækken som i år måtte avlyse på grunn av koronakrisen. Nå håper de å vekke arrangementet til live i desember. Mer informasjon kommer senere. Fram til da kan de som har innspill til årets arrangement ta kontakt med Cecilie Stranger-Thorsen på Viken filmsenter.

Last week we talked about good games with rubbish tales. This week, it's the reverse - great stories with bad games attached to them. John thinks Dreamfall had an moving story about faith, alongside an awful 3D adventure interface. Katharine hates looking at the wall in Soma because the underwater robo-facility is so intriguing. And Brendan is sad that Pyre had a fiddly netball game attached to its warm tale of friendship and justice.

Fury med Brad Pitt er en mørk og brutal krigsfilm. Den svenske Oscarkandidaten Turist er regissør Ruben Ôstlunds blikk på en maskulin krise. Bjørnøya er en frisk dokumentar som vekker reiselysten. Og Miraklene i Toscana er vakker og stemningsfull. I tillegg til disse filmpremierene anmeldes de nye spillene Drømmefall Kapitler og The Legend of Korra. Ragnar Tørnquist fra Red Thread Games gir oss en liten innføring i hvordan et spill som Drømmefall Kapitler blir til. Kristofer Hivju og Lisa Loven Kongsli forteller om sine figurer i Turist. Og ekstremsportbrødrene Inge, Markus og Håkon Wegge forteller hvorfor de dro til Bjørnøya for å surfe og lage film.
Funcom's Ragnar Tørnquist joins Respec Radio host Adam Biessener for a discussion on his soon-to-be-live MMORPG. The Secret World puts players into one of three secret societies warring over control of hidden magical energy in our modern world. Tørnquist and his team are trying to build an honest-to-goodness story around the struggle -- except that they're not casting the player as the hero, just another warrior in the battle for mankind's future. Tørnquist doesn't channel his rage on the mic like our own Andy McNamara can, but did you really expect a Norwegian to compete with our editor-in-chief on that front? The Secret World launches on PC on July 3, but you can start playing the head start right now with a pre-order from the retailer of your choice (may we suggest our parent company?). Special thanks to Tørnquist for joining us on the podcast, and to Funcom for supplying the (awesome) main theme from the game for bumper music. Check back for a much more detailed critical writeup of The Secret World in an upcoming issue of Game Informer. Also, swing by the Respec Radio hub for more MMO podcastery than anyone really needs, and subscribe to our RSS feed or on iTunes to get new episodes as soon as they're fired out over the Internet.
