But I guess that, in our effort to make the game realistic in regards of weapons, vehicles and locations, that you can perhaps find some informative value in it, even though we've of course used these different aspects in a very free-minded way, in order to make the gameplay as fast-paced and enjoyable as possible. Well, it's not something that we set out to do - we just want to make entertaining and captivating games.

Modern war-movies have been an inspiration when in comes to character development in single player, in the way they focus more on the micro-cosmos of the people and the friction between them than they do on the war effort as a whole.ĭo you see any educational benefit to your game - ie like the Total War series - or is WiC simply about blowing stuff up? Massive invasions of modern day USA are for instance covered in various sci-fi movies like 'War of the Worlds' and 'Independence Day'. The entire team is influenced by many things, various movies and books and so on. Red Dawn is obviously an influence but what else was an inspiration when making the game? In multiplayer you can pick any role (specialization) you want, but in the single player maps we often dictate (via story) what you can order in to give the player a taste of all branches of the military. There are some small changes to some explosions and units to fit a certain story point, but expect units and weapon systems to behave the same. Single player and multiplayer share pretty much everything when it comes to maps and units and balancing. How do you get the balance between multiplayer and single-player? Do you treat them as separate games? We're very happy with the end result, and expect that many players will want to play through the single-player campaign. how the Soviets invade Europe and the United States, but we wanted to tell this story through our characters. We already had the major storyline set, i.e. It was very important, because we wanted something that really captured the player and kept the player hooked throughout the entire campaign. How important is storyline and characterisation to the game.

So any similarities between our game and real-life events are purely coincidental. We've tried to keep a very respectful approach towards the game and the setting without any influences from contemporary news stories.

Besides the obvious control change, they've also tweaked the graphics for the hardware and remade the online interface to support Xbox Live.ĭid the recent Russian air incidents (4 UK planes scrambled) have any implications for your storyline? Basically, both versions have the same content, but Swordfish have had to make some adaptations for the console. It's not dumbed down in any way, but tailored for the platform.

It's too early to talk about specific control solutions and so on, but it will definitely be able to hold its own compared to the PC version.ĭid you have to 'dumb down' the game for 360 or will it be the same game as the PC?

It's very console-friendly because of the free camera and the small number of units that you have to handle. I think they're secure with the whole idea. The 360 version is being developed alongside the PC version by Swordfish Studios in Manchester. RTS games have never really worked on the Xbox 360 - how did you get round the control and cultural (console vs PC) issues? World in Conflict borrows ideas from both the FPS genre and the RTS genre, and combines them in a pretty unique way. To get these huge 16 player matches flowing smoothly we allow the player to drop-in and join any server at any time. The tactical depth of the game lies in teamplay, and at the heart of teamplay lies the role system that lets you pick one of 4 military specializations before you enter a team of 8. Unlike most other strategy games, World in Conflict takes a step away from conventional base-building and resource management, putting more focus on the fight itself. World in Conflict is essentially a very fast-paced, action-oriented game with some of the greatest graphics the RTS genre has ever seen. PC gaming is awash with RTS games - what makes WiC stand out? I spoke to Magnus Jansén, the Lead Game Designer from the developers Massive Entertainment, about the first strategy game inspired by the 80s film Red Dawn. WiC is very pretty, very violent and may yet persuade me to finally cross the RTS divide. But what I've seen so far suggests they may be on to something. World in Conflict is supposedly the Real Time Strategy game for those who don't like them - me, and I guess a few others then.
