Neil - RMC
The passion Trip has for the industry is totally evident and he's sharp as a pin! the way he was able to join the dots to engineer success? he's like the Marconi of the games industry.
As one of the people who bought a 3DO back when it was still $600, Trip is a legend to me. It was A LOT of money (several paychecks) at the time, but it was worth it. Road Rash 3DO was the 90s for me.
Having lead the 3DO effort in the U.S. on the Panasonic side, working with Trip Hawkins and 3DO, it was interesting to hear him reflect on the launch and business challenges for the format in the 90's. Brings back a lot of memories, good and bad, as well as the fun we had launching hardware and software including great titles like GEX, Road Rash, Need For Speed, and a great version of John Madden Football which was demonstrated before a Superbowl broadcast and played by OJ Simpson. Lot's of interesting history behind 3DO.
As usual, another great interview. Trip is always abreast of current tends but I was still surprised to hear him drop an Among Us reference lol. It was also really nice to hear a Trip talk about M2 a bit as there isn't too much out there from him on it in the public space. Thanks for bringing this us, Neil.
Another great interview. I really appreciate you doing these long talks with the people who did not only design games but were there creating the industry.
I wasn't a sport game kid growing up nor did I own a 3do at the time, but I can realise a visionary when I see one. He seems like a "Steve Jobs" that never quite built his iPhone, but massive respect for his love of gaming and hardware and everything he did for both!!!
That was a gold standard interview. I really enjoyed that. Trip Hawkins is a really interesting guy. It didn't feel like 1 hour 43 minutes and I could have listened for longer too. Fantastic stuff.
EA is the armpit of the gaming industry these days.. Would never spend a penny on any of their IP. In retrospect, John Madden used to play a huge part of my early gaming days on the SNES.
REALLY good interview! Trip Hawkins is one of those visionary industry legends that everyone should be in awe of. I really enjoyed listening to his experiences. Great person, great stories :)
Thank you Trip for bringing the 3DO into my life. Game consoles come and go but the 3DO will always an extremely special place in my heart. Standout games for me GEX Super Wing Commander The Need For Speed Wing Commander III Shockwave Starblade
Gex, need for speed, samurai showdown, need for speed, road rash, slam n jam and return fire were excellent games. The demo disc had a great fmv of batman the animated show as well. Just wish an English patch for Policenauts existed for the 3d0
A video game industry executive with a deep appreciation for engineering and artistry, innovative marketing, and firm underlying principles. Trip Hawkins is a damn fine individual, and I wish there were more in the industry like him!
For all the flak the 3D0 gets as a 'failed console' I think alot of which is unfounded. Just because something is in the end a business failure does not mean the machine itself is without merit. I remember playing Need for speed on the 3D0 and it just being miles ahead of anything on any other system at the time. The bit-mapped 3D graphics just blew me away.
Two things blew me away. NFS on the demo in store and the price. It was over £550 when I saw it which was just too rich for my blood. But it goes to show just what a hit other manufacturers were prepared to take on hardware in order to profit through strict game sales rules and fees. I admire the attempt to break that cycle
Trip is a visionary. Back in the day, EA didnt always mean youd like the game, but you knew someone liked it - cuz it was quality. Let alone the 3DO, which was just a step or two off of long term success. Great vid.
This was a very good interview. Mr. Hawkins is a legend in my opinion. EA was amazing for me as a kid. 3DO may have crashed and burned, no pun intended, but he really did push innovation and progression at that time. Obviously he did not know a juggernaut was looming in Sony.
Thank you so much for this lovely interview with one of my personal heros! This man is an absolute genius while remaining a kind humble person. I could listen to him for days.
It was only recently that I heard about him in the story of Naughty Dog. Now I understand why Jason Rubin and Andy Gavin spoke with so much respect about his energy and his vision. Great interview with a lot of info to take!
I wanted to know more about Trip after watching a "wrestling with gaming" video about the EA yellow tab cartridges and this interview was perfect. Thank you!
Compelling Content, long, I watched it through in it’s entirety. I don’t care much for EA or their games, I do however appreciate hearing stories from “back then” about the 3DO, Sega Genesis, and the Sony PlayStation....If I had a 3DO or there was a 3DO Mini, I would probably like it, play it frequently....
I remember buying one of the first issues of Next Generation, a mid-90's gaming magazine, and being mesmerized by an interview with Trip. He seemed more like a character out of Star Wars than a CEO to me, just larger-than-life, and had so much depth and knowledge to share. It's great to see he still has that same enthusiasm he had almost 30 years ago.
Absolutly facinating. Hearing from these pioneers is a real treat. I was chuffed to bits hearing about this interview on This Week in Retro following my strat-o-matic comment. Top content. Superb stuff!
Thank you soo much about asking about the M2 its always been a curiosity to me but ive never heard anything spoken about it straight from the man himself.
Another great interview. Great questions and answers. Perfect communication with Trip. I'm now not a fan of EA, but this is an excellent insight to those early days and it's formation when it happened and it was real.
Absolutely brilliant interview. Huge fan of Trip’s career. The 3DO was such an awesome machine at the time it came out and my go to for the years before Sony entered.
Trip is an unknown legend of the industry as I'd like to call him. He was very influential in the industry we have today but many are unaware or brush it off because of EA. But EA stuff was good back then kids, generally was anyway. 😎
Unknown legend? Yeah right mate, during his tenure and the rise of EA he was a household name, made it into many an industry magazine and was pretty well known. Guess you weren't around at that stage and just felt like spouting nonsense. Unknown legend indeed... 🙄
One of the biggest IF in console game industry; 3DO with EA being 1st party company to provide a game exclusivity support within the console. Probably would've gave Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo & SEGA ran out of the money in console war. While Atari already shitting the bed and crumbled at the time. 3DO was like Xbox in the 90s. Great hardware but poor 1st party support. Xbox have similar issue as 3DO but they somehow exist for long only to get wasted and treated like crap by microsoft making every Xbox hardware been useless since Xbox One SMH.. Microsoft should just stick with PC and VR gaming
Wow great interview, really interesting stories. Would have been cool to hear his thoughts on the competition with 3DO such as the Mega CD and 32X which also struggled.
Great stuff. I remember the Test Drive poster I received in Computer and Video Games magazine from 1987. It was the classic red Countach and it was on my wall for years. “Electronic Arts” was displayed under the title “Test Drive”. Back when EA wasn’t the despised organisation it is today! Money and greed has distorted this company beyond all recognition.
I still remember the digital chocolate games, thoses games were best games in java phones. And people still capatilize on names like crazy pangune, rolar coster rush, brick bracker revolution ❤️
That was a great video. I got the Amiga 1000 and the 3d0 when they were released. I've been buying Electronics Arts products for 35 years. Deluxe Paint was there best achievement.
This interview is interesting in a couple of ways. The obvious insight by a individual whom made an impact both up front and centre with the control of the support mechanism that hardware craved and needed. But to me what was and is a theme especially for people like Trip, Jobs, and l would imagine others, is the unmovable belief that what they think and believe is the only standpoint or view that should be the only way or process to follow. Good interview Neil.
Excuse the pun but.. Neil you are a real! Diamond. Thank you for making this happen with Trip. An intro I have never forgotten' EA Sport's, its in the game. fun note, I still find my self saying that in today's titles. Even if I'm playing Star wars, I can't leave without saying. I'm proud to share the same surname 😊👍
Trip should've hired a 3rd party to give him advise how to manufacture and launch 3DO at an affordable price, while still being a profitable venture at the same time. It really could've helped 3DO come a long way than what we got 28+ years ago.
While the whole 3D0 pre-release hype thing was a great smoke and mirrors show, including the few showcases craftily using apple tech hidden from sight, the actual machine wasnt half as bad as it could have been, well from what I've experienced of it. I remember seeing pictures of that monster 3D0 prototype in Edge Magazine bitd, but to this day I never owned a 3D0. Also still remember seeing an imported 3D0 console on display in a shop running Crash and Burn / Solar Eclipse. Hats off to Mr Hawkins for being such a good sport, and congrats to RMC again.
As a huge Amiga fan, and early EA games enthusiast, it seems like I should love Trip... but I honestly somehow have his name sitting in a dark quadrant of my mind just north of Mehdi Ali. Maybe I'm lumping him in with the pessimism I had for the 3DO, or maybe it was the tax fraud. Surely there's something more I'm not remembering right?
Dpaint lead me to an amiga, then macs with Photoshop and of course windows and linux. I also enjoyed early EA games and the 3do was a great console that was a bit pricey and fell a bit short for 3d as it came out a bit early for it
Trip Hawkins should never leave EA to begin with. Look what happened when this man temporarily leave the company to make 3DO console only to get back stabbed by his own former empire that had promised him to provide a 1st party game support between EA & 3DO, exclusively. EA is an example of a dysfunctional, dishonest, poor leadership & toxic gaming company. If anything Trip should never leave and he should just consider the 3DO to be producde under EA corporation. 3DO as an EA's console would've had be a game changer especially with all their game would be exclusive with it. Probably one of the biggest IF in console gaming industry.
Great interview. BTW, I'm pretty sure I paid $699 for the 3DO. So yeah Trip, some people did actually pay that much. :P (bought from Incredible Universe in Wilsonville, Oregon)
Trip didn't think things through when it came to the hardware manufacturing; as he was(and still is) a software expert, not a hardware expert. He should've hired a 3rd party to give him advise on what needed to be done to keep the system's cost down; all the while, still being a profitable venture at the same time.
It is sad to see Sony's PlayStation struggling now with their current leadership when historically it was headed by pioneers like Ken Kutaragi who is the father of PlayStation. I miss Japanese-led PlayStation from the old days, particularly during the PS1 and PS2 era. The vast amount of games from those eras provided such unique experiences which are memorable to this day.
I remember back in the 1990s when Electronic Arts was actually a pretty good company, putting stuff out like the original Need for Speed and publishing titles for companies like Bullfrog and Maxis. It's unfortunate that it's turned into the "evil empire" EA that many us avoid today, prioritising profits and "surprise mechanics" over the game experience
Years from now they will send a Terminator back in time to 1982 to stop the creation of EA and it's ultimate team packs from destroying the gaming world.
Spotted him in The Computer Chronicles episode czcams.com/video/2UbR18ElJVE/video.html from 1985. Electronic Arts was just two or three years old at that time. All fresh! :-)

Thank you both for this interview
The passion Trip has for the industry is totally evident and he's sharp as a pin! the way he was able to join the dots to engineer success? he's like the Marconi of the games industry.

My rich school friend as i call him had a 3DO from launch and had road Rash,that game was damn right outstanding,blew my socks off.
road rash was epic
Having lead the 3DO effort in the U.S. on the Panasonic side, working with Trip Hawkins and 3DO, it was interesting to hear him reflect on the launch and business challenges for the format in the 90's. Brings back a lot of memories, good and bad, as well as the fun we had launching hardware and software including great titles like GEX, Road Rash, Need For Speed, and a great version of John Madden Football which was demonstrated before a Superbowl broadcast and played by OJ Simpson. Lot's of interesting history behind 3DO.
As usual, another great interview. Trip is always abreast of current tends but I was still surprised to hear him drop an Among Us reference lol. It was also really nice to hear a Trip talk about M2 a bit as there isn't too much out there from him on it in the public space.
Thanks for bringing this us, Neil.
Why arent you checkmarked? Love your vids man.
Anything M2 related is always fun to know about
The chair with the original Electronic Arts logo in the background - love it! So many amazing games back in the day.
Another great interview. I really appreciate you doing these long talks with the people who did not only design games but were there creating the industry.
I wasn't a sport game kid growing up nor did I own a 3do at the time, but I can realise a visionary when I see one. He seems like a "Steve Jobs" that never quite built his iPhone, but massive respect for his love of gaming and hardware and everything he did for both!!!
It's 2.11am and I've just discovered this. Work can wait.
Also, what a scoop getting Trip on the show. It just gets better :)
That was a gold standard interview. I really enjoyed that. Trip Hawkins is a really interesting guy. It didn't feel like 1 hour 43 minutes and I could have listened for longer too. Fantastic stuff.
Thanks so much. Trip was a great guest and very generous with his time
Oh boy going to have to settle in with dinner for this one. Consistently some of the greatest videos and guests on youtube, wonderful channel.
Very kind thank you
This is what I would call REAL journalism!
Thank you for making this possible and thank you to the guest for amazing information.
It's unbeliveable that EA strayed so far from his original vision of a company. Money corrupts :P
Especially when it corrupts everywhere in the world.
EA is the armpit of the gaming industry these days.. Would never spend a penny on any of their IP. In retrospect, John Madden used to play a huge part of my early gaming days on the SNES.
REALLY good interview!
Trip Hawkins is one of those visionary industry legends that everyone should be in awe of. I really enjoyed listening to his experiences. Great person, great stories :)
Thank you Trip for bringing the 3DO into my life. Game consoles come and go but the 3DO will always an extremely special place in my heart.
Standout games for me
GEX
Super Wing Commander
The Need For Speed
Wing Commander III
Shockwave
Starblade
Cant tell if srs or not....
Gex, need for speed, samurai showdown, need for speed, road rash, slam n jam and return fire were excellent games. The demo disc had a great fmv of batman the animated show as well. Just wish an English patch for Policenauts existed for the 3d0
Was flicking through my old EDGE magazine from 1994 a couple of days ago and read a Trip interview, then this video pops up, awesome stuff.
Still got my original FZ-1 I paid £499 for and 30 + boxed games, great memories. I know it failed but I had such a great time playing 3DO in the 90’s.
Love that he has Green Eggs and Ham displayed prominently on the bookshelf.
I loved my FZ1 playing Gex and return fire was awesome.
3DO was a great standard. I love my Panasonic FZ-1. My daughter is always asking to play Gex and Road Rash on it.
Looking forward to watching this later as I tuck into an unhealthy meal
This was brilliant man, congrats on interviewing trip. Really good questions especially around 3do 👌👌
Thank you Shaun, it's a real pleasure to get to talk to people who had such an influence on my life
It's gratifying to see Trip's shelves are as cluttered as mine.
Really lucky to have met Trip while in LA for E3. Really engaging and interested in me and why I was there. Lovely guy and a legend.

Looking forward to this, my evening is now sorted. Cheers RMC 😁
WOW! Can't believe you got Trip Hawkins himself to join you on stream!

Ah that's great! I only learned of Strat-o-matic because of this chat. I must get a set to try out. Thanks for listening to both this and TWiR
Need for speed, wing commander III and Fifa are the stand out games on the 3DO for mr
Oh my word! Trip Hawkins! If John Carmack is a legend of game programming? then Trip is the equivalent for the industry as a whole. Absolute legend!
Epic Interview. Loved every minute.
wow that's emotional when he says "EA is my first child"....hope EA saves their papa's name.......
Trip is a legend. How could he not be? He has the coolest name ever.
"trip" is my favorite American name by far! totally agree - cool as duck
Fantastic interview as usual Neil! Well done matey!
Thank you soo much about asking about the M2 its always been a curiosity to me but ive never heard anything spoken about it straight from the man himself.
I'm drinking a lot of tea in this tea break. Great stuff
He is a pioneer for the industry. A giant on whom many have stood on the shoulders on. Great interview mate. Really in depth.
Nice interview! This man is a Legend
Excellent interview Neil !!!!!!
Thank you
Another great interview. Great questions and answers. Perfect communication with Trip. I'm now not a fan of EA, but this is an excellent insight to those early days and it's formation when it happened and it was real.
Oh, another lovely, lovely episode of the series: "How My Childhood Was Made". Thank you both.
Absolutely brilliant interview. Huge fan of Trip’s career. The 3DO was such an awesome machine at the time it came out and my go to for the years before Sony entered.
Thanks James
Swords of twilight and f18 interceptor on the Amiga was brilliant
When I stumbled upon this guy in the Nintendo Documentary it reminded me how EA was actually decent back in the day.
One of the few people in this series I actually know about, the legend himself, Trip Hawkins!
Legend! Thank you for this interview!
Trip is one of my favorite people. This is great to see on RMC!

What a fascinating industry insight from a true pioneer. A great watch - thank you
Wow my teabreak is only 15 mins long, need to work in the cave lol
Trip Hawkins is undoubtedly a legend. Without him we wouldn't have the fantastic games that EA gave us because it wouldn't exist. Nice interview.

1:42:57 - Ah, There I am :)
Such a great interview. :)
Thank you I enjoyed it a lot
Nice. Really landing the big fish here!
The red book above Tripp's head (where only the spine is visible), I think it's "Good to Great" by Jim Collins. Great business book. :)
another great interview.
I still remember the digital chocolate games, thoses games were best games in java phones.
And people still capatilize on names like crazy pangune, rolar coster rush, brick bracker revolution ❤️
That was a great video. I got the Amiga 1000 and the 3d0 when they were released. I've been buying Electronics Arts products for 35 years. Deluxe Paint was there best achievement.

fun note, I still find my self saying that in today's titles. Even if I'm playing Star wars, I can't leave without saying. I'm proud to share the same surname 😊👍
It is 'Hawkins' the G on my username is to simply, tell my other accounts apart.
Trip should've hired a 3rd party to give him advise how to manufacture and launch 3DO at an affordable price, while still being a profitable venture at the same time. It really could've helped 3DO come a long way than what we got 28+ years ago.
Trip Hawkins is an absolute hero!
While the whole 3D0 pre-release hype thing was a great smoke and mirrors show, including the few showcases craftily using apple tech hidden from sight, the actual machine wasnt half as bad as it could have been, well from what I've experienced of it.
I remember seeing pictures of that monster 3D0 prototype in Edge Magazine bitd, but to this day I never owned a 3D0.
Also still remember seeing an imported 3D0 console on display in a shop running Crash and Burn / Solar Eclipse.
Hats off to Mr Hawkins for being such a good sport, and congrats to RMC again.
As a huge Amiga fan, and early EA games enthusiast, it seems like I should love Trip... but I honestly somehow have his name sitting in a dark quadrant of my mind just north of Mehdi Ali. Maybe I'm lumping him in with the pessimism I had for the 3DO, or maybe it was the tax fraud. Surely there's something more I'm not remembering right?
Dpaint lead me to an amiga, then macs with Photoshop and of course windows and linux. I also enjoyed early EA games and the 3do was a great console that was a bit pricey and fell a bit short for 3d as it came out a bit early for it
Early EA really was something different. Starflight was the greatest gaming experience of my youth.
Top interview there. A first. Well done 👍🏻 . Can you locate the holy grail? David W Bradley. Apparently imposible to locate.

Great interview such an interesting guy and such awesome history
I remember back in the 1990s when Electronic Arts was actually a pretty good company, putting stuff out like the original Need for Speed and publishing titles for companies like Bullfrog and Maxis. It's unfortunate that it's turned into the "evil empire" EA that many us avoid today, prioritising profits and "surprise mechanics" over the game experience
I feel he has embellished a little .. still fascinating though.
This guy is much more better than andrew wilson

He was a wise guy. A made guy
Love 3DO
Yes, but what's his real name?

@@RMCRetro Thats true, I guess we could try to send one back to 2000 to stop the unholy demonic union of video games and andrew wilson instead. 🥺
