Charles Cecil is such a class act, he kept asking politely if he could go on a tangent, as if we wouldn't all be fascinated by this PS history. And as if PS Access wouldn't want him to spill the beans. Loved how you all were enraptured by his stories. Brilliant episode
Back when I first played the BS demo on PS1 I would play that 20-30 mins of gameplay over and over in wonder what came next. I’d show Sgt Moue Rosso’s ID card over and over and when he said “Yes monsieur, I’ve seen it before” I told my mum I’d shown him about 50 times previous and we both burst out laughing. I lost my mum in January of this year and one of the first things I did when I played Reforged was show Moue the ID over and over to relive that nice memory of mum. Broken Sword is such a comfort in so many ways for so many people. Thank you once again Charles.
I met Charles a few years back at egx where he was showing beyond a steel sky. I didn't realise at the time in my naivety that he was the creator of broken sword and other iconic adventure games. He was so lovely and awesome and signed swag for me and the friends I was with. Such a sincere fellow in it for all the right reasons and still making truly wonderful games! I'll never forget his humble smile when I mentioned Ron Gilbert's monkey island, and his own creation, broken sword, as my favourite adventure games, if I ever see him again I'll give him the thanks he deserves! Absolute legend! Thanks for having him on playstation access!
What an absolutely fascinating and engaging man he is. I could have listened to another 3hrs. Obviously a man with a passion for what he does and wears it on his sleeve.
Broken Sword is such a special game to me. Coming from a very working class family, our holiday budget was quite lean so a week in Cromer was pretty much all we could afford, and yet playing this I felt like I was in 'Paris in the fall', or a traditional Irish pub. It was magical!
My favorite adventure game is moving my eyes over every molecule of the refrigerator to find the ketchup that somehow remains invisible unless I trigger the "wife tells me where it is" script in a previous room.
16:40 - Good question Dave. It's exactly something I myself would be interested in. As I said in several videos now, it's an absolute treat to listen to Charles Cecil, a game developer that is so much in love with the art he creates. He's like that teacher at school you like listening too just because you appreciate his love for the subject. Thanks for having him on the podcast guys.
My dad's friend who was teaching my family about computing shared the answer to the Goat puzzle after my sister and I were stuck for a month. Genuinely a great moment.
The Broken Sword series will always hold a special place in my gaming 💙 just got Reforged & i can't wait to dive into it 😁 Really hope the others will get the same love & treatment in the future 🤞🏻
This was a fantastic episode! What an incredible and insightful guest to listen to. I somehow completely missed Broken Sword until now, but this has made me super excited to pick it up!
This episode was an absolute blast watching and listening to. The "tangents" that Charles kept talking about seemed like nice mini stories looking back in the history.
Charles is always lovely when he's on PS Access. I got stuck on Broken Sword but I'm excited to replay with the new updates. I love they included the ability to switch between old an new. Will be great to toggle and see all that 's changed. Well done and good luck with the launch!
You all are my favorite gaming youtube group and favorite gaming podcast because you just love video games. It's that simple. No drama, no negativity for negativity sake, I just need this positivity in my life so thank you.
What an absolutely wonderful episode , well done team . Such passion and love shown for his art by Charles . Will definitely be picking up broken sword reforged 👍
This game demo has been a fond memory of mines for years. Also its haunted me for years. Only now have I been able to put a name to it. Cant wait to play it again
I've never played broken sword but I am well aware of how amazing it is....i used to see it in video shops back in the 90s ....this is a great episode I really enjoyed it
Great episode/interview. My only point & click experience is playing Leisure Suit Larry on my friends Amiga as a giggling 14yr old back in the mid 90s. Over the years I've become aware of Broken Sword but never played it. I'm exhausted by 3rd person adventure games right now & been playing arcade shooters & metroidvania games, so maybe this is the break I need to play something different & new.
I love this game and I loved this interview. I allreaddy bought the reforged game on pc (because point and click) but this interview made me buy it again on ps5
I have somewhat of an affinity to Revolution, I lived in York, where they are based, for 30 years. I went to a talk Charles was doing about the making of the games and videogames in general, when I went to a signing of The Sleeping Dragon a while later he recognized me.
Recently got the Platinum for Astro Bot. That Master Challenge level is no joke. But the 20 minutes of stress were worth it once I saw who was waiting at the end.
I hated the goat puzzle but loved the rest. The characters were hilarious and the dialogue unique and unmatched in comparison to today’s games. Charles is a great guest, one of my favourite podcasts
I remember getting the Demo Disk and counting down the days until it came out. I think I’ve owned and played it on every platform it’s been released on.
Games just keep dropping the ball… I always have multiple games I’m looking forward too and one or two will make the cut… So disappointing! I would buy them all if they didn’t fail Like the new Funk Fusion game looked so fun. But I heard it isn’t The Casting of Frank Stone if is no good. So another horror game fail. And it’s just always like this.. So disappointing. Atleast I could get the Black Myth Wukong game.
If you need hints in Broken Sword, you're not smart. Impatient, certainly, but not a very deep thinker. Don't believe me? Play Riven and see how well you do without hints... 🤪

I love the way he talks about his employees… “wonderful” is used a lot. Really appreciates his staff.
this is genuinely wonderful, Charles Cecil is such a legend of videogames.

Charles is a great guy. Met him by coincidence in a Korean restaurant in York this summer. Proclaimed my fandom for broken sword. Shook his hand.
With or without his permission?

Nice to have Rob’s dad on the channel.
This has to be one of my favourite podcasts. I loved broken sword! This game opened point and click games to me. We now need all of them remastered

Between adventure, monkey island, broken sword, and so many others. We need this genre back.
You only have to play new games, I can tell you some of them, like The excavation of Hob's Barrow, or Unusual Findings
It’s not gone anywhere there are some fantastic point and click adventures to play
The goat puzzle is the GOAT of puzzles!!
Well put 🐐 😅
What a brilliant guest. So insightful and a joy to listen to. Would love to hear more from him.
I pre-ordered my physical copy on ps5. I love to support developers with fantastic concepts. I’m all for bringing back classics.
My favorite adventure game is moving my eyes over every molecule of the refrigerator to find the ketchup that somehow remains invisible unless I trigger the "wife tells me where it is" script in a previous room.
Me to wife: is it possible to learn this power?
@@TearintimeNot from a husband - wife, probably

Charles Cecil is such a delight, i'm glad to see him on the show :)
Can I go on another tangent.. I love Charles and this podcast. Bring him back! Now I’m away to play broken sword
An amazing podcast, I didn't want it to end. The insights into both the original al and remake were pure gold dust. Thank you.
Broken sword is one of my earliest gaming memories and favourite series. I'm looking forward to listening to this episode.

My favorite point and click. Love it to bits. Even goat puzzle😄
The Broken Sword series will always hold a special place in my gaming 💙 just got Reforged & i can't wait to dive into it 😁 Really hope the others will get the same love & treatment in the future 🤞🏻
What an amazing episode. Such a pleasure listening to Charles!

What a thoroughly nice gentleman Mr Cecil is
Absolutely love Broken Sword, Revolution Software, and listening to Charles I love him now too!

Creator of the finest game ever. Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars 😊😊😊😊😊😊

This guy was very likeable and I enjoyed listening to his responses to your questions and all his stories great podcast
What an absolutely wonderful episode , well done team . Such passion and love shown for his art by Charles . Will definitely be picking up broken sword reforged 👍
48:34 is the best, surprisingly wholesome use of a bleep I’ve ever heard.
Hell yeah, Charles Cecil rocks 🤘🏻
Purple Jacket, what a great interview. Keep it up and looking for more.
Day of The Tentacle, Sam n Max, Full Throttle, Fate of Atlantis, and pretty much anything Lucasarts did are still amazing. Oh yeah Monkey Island duh
So many amazing titles. I think it is fun, this genre is making a comeback
@@kadosho02I never got to play Broken Sword so I’m curious to try it
Games are back!... adventure games too
This game demo has been a fond memory of mines for years. Also its haunted me for years. Only now have I been able to put a name to it. Cant wait to play it again
I've never played broken sword but I am well aware of how amazing it is....i used to see it in video shops back in the 90s ....this is a great episode I really enjoyed it
Charles is a lovely gentleman and his passion is so refreshing in today's climate of the gaming industry
Hugely enjoyable podcast. Such an engaging guy with a genuine love of what he has created 🤩
I still have the game on my ps1 - this is amazing ❤️❤️
Great episode/interview. My only point & click experience is playing Leisure Suit Larry on my friends Amiga as a giggling 14yr old back in the mid 90s.

very cool interview, thanks for this

Phenomenal interview!
A Let’s play with Dave and BS1 is a MUST!!!
Recently got the Platinum for Astro Bot. That Master Challenge level is no joke. But the 20 minutes of stress were worth it once I saw who was waiting at the end.
Brilliant man
I hated the goat puzzle but loved the rest. The characters were hilarious and the dialogue unique and unmatched in comparison to today’s games.
Charles is a great guest, one of my favourite podcasts
Classic point and click adventure games rule!
This was maginificent.
Platinumed the game today!
Gotta love charles
You should get Charles back he's excellent to listen to, reminds me of Colin Firth for some reason😆
I remember getting the Demo Disk and counting down the days until it came out. I think I’ve owned and played it on every platform it’s been released on.
So in this year Christmas Maze, must be a challenge to guess the narrator voice - is it Charles or Rob's voice😅
Oh that would be fun
Yes, adventure games are back!
My only experience with point and click is putt putt, spy fox, freddie fish, pajama sam and mist. Im excited for a new one
Gotta say broken sword
Dan Brown owes you a rather large sum of royalties in my opinion Charles!!
What a lovely man!
I'm still waiting to play as that T. Rex in an actual game. Dear Mr. Cecil, please make it a reality.
In terms of influence, I’m pretty sure there’s no Johannes Cabal without George Stobbart
he is such a legend i played bs before monkey island
still eagerly awaiting for any new final fantasy longplay...
In an alternate time line Charles Cecil is an Access member and Rob is making Broken Sword. 😁
A pity it doesnt receive so man views here on this channel. Needs to be on the main channel ;)
Yakuza in Hawaii 👍😀
pretty sure i saw in an old video recently Rosie got shot in the head by her brother. how is she alive?
Sup PlayStation, I hope your going well
Oh shoot. I must behave.
Broken sword is the greatest adventure point n click game of all time
Games just keep dropping the ball…
I always have multiple games I’m looking forward too and one or two will make the cut…
So disappointing!
I would buy them all if they didn’t fail
Like the new Funk Fusion game looked so fun. But I heard it isn’t
The Casting of Frank Stone if is no good. So another horror game fail.
And it’s just always like this..
So disappointing. Atleast I could get the Black Myth Wukong game.
If you need hints in Broken Sword, you're not smart. Impatient, certainly, but not a very deep thinker.
Don't believe me? Play Riven and see how well you do without hints... 🤪
