Luc Bernard, the mind behind the upcoming Wii-Ware title Eternity’s Child is already hard at work on a new and what is sure to be a very controversial game or the DS. Imagination Is The Only Escape is the story of a young Jewish boy living in France during the occupation by the Nazis in World War II. In order to escape the horrors around him, he imagines a fantasy land that becomes the basis of the game’s world. The adventure platformer will attempt to educate players on the atrocities experienced by many children during the time of the Holocaust.
Randy Pitchford is boss of Gearbox. Gearbox make Brothers in Arms. Brothers in Arms is set in WWII. We’re all sick to death of WWII shooters, but Randy sees no cause for alarm: It’s…a great backdrop for gameplay. This is man to man fighting here. The stories are dramatic – we could make an infinite number of games in the World War II space and still have material to cover.
You’re right, you could! So go ahead and do it. The British campaign in Burma. Free French operations in North Africa. The Canadian raid on Dieppe. Those are three suggestions you can have for free, instead of having us fight as American soldiers in Western Europe in 1944-45 for the million billionth time. World War II still rich with potential – Pitchford [Eurogamer][Image]
