Wil Wheaton has parlayed his acting career into a number of hosting gigs, none more significant than his gig as the ringleader of Geek & Sundry’s TableTop (and its recent spinoff, Titansgrave). In his latest role, Wheaton is back in the host’s chair, and he is joined by accomplished video game developers. Wheaton is the central figure in the PlayStation web series Conversations With Creators, which has now launched its first episode.
In each episode of Conversations With Creators, Wheaton sits down with the team behind a popular video game. The maiden episode spotlights the developers at Bungie, who after turning Halo into an Xbox staple have moved on to create another hit, Destiny, for both PlayStation and Xbox consoles. The tone of the interview is a bit dry, but there’s plenty of interesting commentary within it, and Wheaton proves to be a knowledgeable host. Think of Conversations With Creators
like Inside the Actors Studio, but for video games.Conversations With Creators is part of PlayStation’s original content push, which has also seen the Sony console serve as the home for superhero series Powers. While the PlayStation YouTube channel is the easiest place to find Conversations With Creators, episodes are also available through the PlayStation Store. The series is free, but the games it spotlights are not, and based on the design of the Conversations With Creators PS Store page, Sony is very much hoping to use the series to market some of its console’s top titles.
Three more episodes of Conversations With Creators, featuring Naughty Dog, Treyarch, and Santa Monica Studio, will arrive over the next three weeks.
