Freedom Force Interview

The Gaming Lounge has conducted an interview with Irrational Games’ Jonathon Chey, asking the developer quite a few questions about their superhero RPG, Freedom Force. Check it out:

[Travis] Obviously theres been some recent successes at the movies with superhero themes, X-Men and Mystery Men for example. What influence has this had on the game? Has it broadened the appeal do you think?

[Jonathon] I think so. Superheroes are still very popular and there has been an upsurge of interest lately that can only be good for us.

[Raph] The artwork is very stylised, being based on our favourite comic book memories. Once locked into this look & style, did it pose any problems in production and marketing stages?

[Jonathon] The main problem was finding marketing people who “got” what we were trying to do with the look and feel. There were some notable problems with early concepts for the game ads and box cover because the people creating them weren’t really clear what were trying to do.
