CEO Thinks Turning Point Was Not Forers
The CEO of Spark Unlimited, the developers of the soon to be released Turning Point: Fall of Liberty has defended his game in the light of recent poor reviews. For example Game Informer gave it 3.0/10, while IGN were a bit more generous and gave it a 5.0.
“You know, I think that when you try to do games that are about a mass market, and Turning Point is definitely a high concept idea, that with the time and money we had we did the best to execute on, our target was not really the core gamer,” he comments to Video gamer. “If people look at it in the right way, I think they really enjoy what they see. You can certainly look at it and say it’s not revolutionary, so those opinions are certainly a lot more critical.”
So according to his logic maybe the likes of Superman 64 and Mortal Kombat Mythologies were probably fantastic efforts as well, and flying through those rings and getting CRUSHED TO DEATH by those stone pillars was just too high concept for us at the time… we never did solve Lex’s maze after all.
By the way, look out for our review of Turning Point which should be coming soon. If it takes longer than expected then we are sorry it has probably confused our poor minds.
