FilePlanet interviews Kaos[ Comment ] 15:56 PST | Pyros | Print News | Category: Community NewsThe folks over at FilePlanet are celebrating the release of the Frontlines: Fuel of War closed beta with an interview with the folks from Kaos Studios. The interview covers a wide range of topics from Desert Combat, to their history with EA, and the Frontlines development process. Here is a brief snippet from the article:
We felt confident in our multiplayer experience but we really wanted to reach out to the single player game because as gamers we are really getting tired of the die \ redo \ die \ redo \ watch-the-movie style gameplay. I wanted to play a game where my choices meant something and my experience wouldn't be exactly the same to the player next to me
The interview covers plenty of material, so I would definitely recommend checking it out.
