THE BUZZ: In this GDC 2012 video interview, Wargaming.net’s CEO Victor Kislyi talks about the company’s current efforts, including the upcoming release World of Warplanes.

EGM’s TAKE: World of Tanks has been a huge hit for the company, so I’m interested to see how World of Warplanes ends up doing for them. Kislyi sees the plane-themed World of Warplanes to be more of the style of game that players in North America typically like.

What do you think—do you find the idea of World of Warplanes to be more exciting than World of Tanks? Or do you love the idea of both?

Eric L. Patterson got his start via self-publishing game-related fanzines in junior high, and now has one goal in life: making sure EGM has as much coverage of niche Japanese games as he can convince them to fit in. Eric’s also active in the gaming community on a personal level, being an outspoken voice on topics such as equality in gaming and consumer rights. Stalk him on Twitter: @pikoeri.
