5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
I began by asking Matthews to give a little about his extensive background in the interactive entertainment industry. Matthews:” been in the industry for 16 years, prior to coming to Monolith I was the lead character artist on God of War, my career stems back as far as Mist, I worked on Mist and many things in between.” ITWire: So now work is finished work on project origin. Matthews:”We’ve finally just wrapped, we got through all our submissions, and this week we had a prerelease of the demo on Playstation Network and the rest of the demo is due this week... we are very excited about that.” iTWire: The licensing for F.E.A.R has been bouncing around for some time since the original was released. The original title for this game was simply Project Origin. Matthews: “Sure, a little bit of history, in F.E.A.R 2 when we first started we didn’t have the rights to the F.E.A.R name. But we had the rights to the story, all the characters, the universe, Alma and so forth but ultimately Vivendi owned the rights to the name. Then during the merger of Vivendi and Activision, we had an opportunity to pick up the name, Warner Bros did so and brought it all back home.” “Alma is the cornerstone of the [games] universe,” Matthews continues, “and the F.E.A.R name is the polish to that cornerstone.” Continued on Page 2 |
