Ken Levine needs to pay himself some overtime as another 'Freedom Force vs The Third Reich' interview hits the 'net, this time at GameShark. Here's a taste:Gameshark: First off how does it feel to be credited with breaking the "super hero game curse" with your first game and paving the way for games like Spider-Man, X-Men Legends, City of Heroes, Etc?
Ken: We’re flattered that anyone would say that about Freedom Force. I think that ultimately, we were happy with creating a game that did comic books justice. It’s funny that when we were originally pitching Freedom Force, we were met with a lot of resistance. Many people didn’t believe that gamers were interested in comics! That came as a real shock to us since we think games and comics share much of the same audience. Given the success of the franchise, I think it’s fair to say that we were correct. |
