<html><body>IO Interactive's Jeremy Petreman answered some questions for <A HREF=http://www.jolt.co.uk/index.php?articleid=120 target=_blank>Jolt.co.uk</A> about <A HREF=http://www.eagames.com/official/freedom/home.jsp target=_blank>Freedom Fighters</A>, their upcoming alternate history tactical shooter type deal. They talk about mission structure, the engine, and some other stuff. Here’s a bit on the game’s influences:<blockquote>The game has an unusual story, could you explain it a little, what was the thinking behind it?

Jeremy: The story takes place in a slightly altered reality – wherein the Soviet Union essentially won World War 2 and since then have spread their political influence across the globe with ruthless aggression. As such, the United States is in a much weaker position than it is today. Essentially we have taken a “what if...” scenario and blown it to high proportions. What if the Soviets had invaded the US? What if people fought back?

In a way, what we were going for was the slightly campy but still cool feeling you get in one of those big-budget action films like “Escape from New York”, “Die Hard”, or “Red Dawn”.</blockquote>The <A HREF=http://www.jolt.co.uk/index.php?articleid=120 target=_blank>interview</A> closes with a handful of new screenshots from the Xbox version.
