Midway’s CEO David Zucker talks about the company’s plans to introduce new IP through established media celebrities and creatives like John Woo, Vin Diesel, and the Rock.
{mosimabe}Q: "Tell us about your biggest games here at E3."
A: "Stranglehold is one of our first next-generation titles and it is really coming together well. We actually have a separate theater for that at the show. It’s our PlayStation 3 launch title as well as being for Xbox 360."
"It has phenomenal destructibility, meaning that you can shoot up the place in style—it’s an incredible experience. We also have the potential for stunt play—the sort of slow-motion jump and shoot that’s never been done before in this way. This is one of the breakthrough games on the next-generation systems. You can really see what the new boxes are capable of—this much interaction with the environment has never been achieved before."
"Of course we’ll have Mortal Kombat Armageddon—the game to end all Mortal Kombats—you’ll be able to create a fighter in that game as well as [play as] every single character ever from the Mortal Kombat series."
"There’s also Unreal Tournament 2007 for PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. Epic’s latest is mind-blowing, and I believe one of the stars of the show."
