Jonric: As an introduction, how would you summarize Freedom Force vs. The Third Reich, the kind of game it will be, and what has most inspired or influenced its design?

Ken Levine: Freedom Force vs. The Third Reich picks up where the original Freedom Force left off. Like the original, our new game is a tactical RPG that utilizes elements of many popular genres. It's the sort of game that has a little something for everyone.

It's a bit bizarre when you think about the places you look to for inspiration. The obvious places were the comics of the early sixties, the writing of guys like Stan Lee and the art of Steve Ditko, Jack Kirby and others. I think the original Freedom Force did a good job capturing the silver age of comics. We wanted to try and attempt the same feat with the golden age. This meant spending a lot of time studying that era - not just the comics, but also the history and culture.

Dazu spricht Ken Levine u.a. ausführlich über die Entstehungsgeschichte des Nachfolgers von Freedom Force, die Missionen und Örtlichkeiten, das Charaktersystem, das leicht modifizierte Kampfsystem und noch viel mehr... ;-)

RPGDot: If you'd be able to choose anyone from within the game industry to work on your dream project, who'd you put in your team?

Robert Sirotek: I'd have to shoot you if I told you, because I'm already working with these guys, and we are not ready to announce anything yet

Sehr merkwwürdig - Ist dies etwa das erste Lebenszeichen von Sir-Tech seit dem ominösen Interview vor ziemlich genau einem Jahr, wo eben dieser Robert Sirotek mit Linda Currie die Wiedereröffnung von Sir-Tech bekannt gegeben hat und seit dem man kein weiteres Lebenszeichen gehört hat?!?
