Freedom Force Interview

HomeLan Fed has conducted an interview with Irrational Games’ Ken Levine, asking the developer several questions about their upcoming superhero RPG, Freedom Force. A snip:

Q: Why was the decision made to have Freedom Force have a Silver Age Lee-Kirby theme in look and storyline?

A: We wanted everybody to look at the game and immediately say, (Yep, those are comic book heroes,) and that required hearkening back to a look and feel that everyone would relate to, despite one’s lack of experience with the genre. There’s also so primal and mythical about that era that I found it personally attractive, especially if you look at the art of the period, the Ditkos, the Kirbys, the Hecks, the Woods, etc.
