Video Interview: Chair discusses the new “Battle Room” video game
Great new games coming your way from XBOX Live arcade
While we’re optimistically skeptical about the development of the Ender’s Game video game “Battle Room”, it’s heartening to hear Chair Entertainment’s Donald Mustard talk about wanting to “not ruin” the franchise, and that he suspects this will be one of the more “fully featured” games we’ve seen in the modern downloadable games space.
It’s actually a great interview, covering a bit of Chair’s history and relationship with OSC. They apparently approached Orson Scott Card to write the book “Empire” for the video game of the same title, rather than the typically “other way around” hollywood approach; and that project eventually led to discussions around the Ender’s Game franchise. Apparently, they were involved in both Advent Rising and the downloadable game Undertow; I’m not sure that’s a good sign (I tried Undertow last week, and got bored pretty quickly.)
