Undying Interview

Ein nettes Interview (engl) hat Voodooextreme mit Brady Bell von EA/Dreamworks Studio geführt. Natürlich geht es um das UTEngine Game Undying, welches vor Kurzem Gold ging.

Voodoo Extreme -- What was it like to work with Clive Barker and what impact, in your opinion, did he have on the final outcome of the game? Did he give any of you or your staff any reading assignments, of his own horror works or others? Brady Bell -- Clive was amazing. Going in, we certainly weren't sure what to expect, but he made several things very clear from the start. He had zero interest in putting him name on something if he wasn't heavily involved. Further, he holds his fans in such high regard, it was paramount for him that the quality level of the game had to be something his audience would enjoy. His knowledge of games came primarily from what he didn't like or thought was insulting to consumers, so he was relying on us to deliver on something he'd forever be linked with. It was a pretty big leap of faith for a well-known guy to put his trust in our team. More than anything, that's probably the biggest impact he had. Outside of gamers, we now had an entire new audience to be faithful to and a quality level to meet.... and believe me, my boss (Rick Giolito) & GM were constantly reminding me of that. :)
