We just haven’t got enough of those to choose from.

“…where you can set fire to huge areas of scrubland to flush out hiding enemies; where the wind carries those flames in a realistic pattern and rain puts them out”.

Much like “Alone In The Dark” will do, and I’m guessing every single other title will do from this point forward.

“…realistic day/night cycle with one minute of real time equalling eight minutes in the game world.”

Presumably the game is not set in real-time, so that going away for 10 minutes for a “comfart” break with the game paused, won’t add 80 minutes in game-time & you’ve then missed the opportunity to unleash several cans of whoopass.

“…The player has certain skills that are in demand by the factions and they both want him to work for them; he can walk up the street and take jobs for either side, but obviously there are consequences and a big part of our dynamic story system is tracking that, tracking how often he’s willing to screw people over.”

Grand Theft Auto 4.5 then?

“…We didn’t want infamy to be sort of a reputation layer”

Did somebody mention “Carry On Cleo”?

Sounds like the creative minds of 170 people may result in either the most visually-stunning and enjoyable game of this genre (so far), but I cannot help think that this will be one of those titles that will just fill the gap until another one with bigger guns comes along.

Pity.

Oh, and before I forget, can I mention wireless microphones, shoddy PlayStation Network updates, broken promises of an unspecified nature, DualShock 3 controllers, “Home” being delayed, and a commercial organisation with shareholders ripping the public off for charging something for their products who are hoping to turn a profit on the PS3 console this August? No wait, I’ll save that for the second part of the interview.

And whilst I’m about it… Merry Christmas… first post!

BFN,

ThreeSpeech, I would love if you could change some CSS for your news/article/interviews:

1) Increse the “line-height” so there’s more space between the.

2) The questions in this interview; can you please color them so they’re more visible then the answers in the interviews?
