GameDaily Interviews Mike Verdu

Recommended Posts

GameDaily have an interview with executive producer for Command & Conquer 3, Mike Verdu, on the recent casting of the actors to portray key characters in the game. It's in similar fashion to GameSpot's interview with Mike Verdu that we posted about a couple of days ago. Here is a sample from the new GameDaily interview.

 

Can you talk about the depth of storytelling that games can tackle today?

 

Game stories are growing in sophistication and depth, and with C&C 3, we're attempting to stretch a little bit and make something that pushes the boundaries. As I've discussed above, our characters are complex and go through changes as the story progresses. The game is a satisfying military science fiction spectacle with a future world war as the backdrop for its story, but the story itself has layers and tackles some big themes: Who has the legitimate power to rule -- and to order the death of others -- in a democracy where the elected leaders have been killed? What costs and collateral damage are acceptable in winning a global war against a terrible adversary? And for the second campaign where you turn the tables and play the enemy that you fought in the first campaign, what does it really mean to choose the dark path in a video game?

 

Can you talk about the use of real news anchors in this game?

 

Our narrative is punctuated by segments of news footage from a future cable and satellite network that give the events in our story an epic scale and at the same time create a sense of urgency and immediacy. As the player, you might be watching an intimate scene between characters played by members of our principal cast in one sequence and then seeing the far reaching consequences of your actions through the eyes of reporters on location."
