#242 - Introducing Ash Nicholls and Art of Play

The team interviews the man behind perhaps the biggest news of
the last 10 years - the announcement of the Phantom video game by
Art of Play Games. Thousands of phans from around the world were
shocked, amazed and generally excited at the announcement. 


After the excitement sunk in, the questions flowed so we sat down
with Art of Play games director Ash Nicholls who was very
open and we think to say after two hours, there may not be many
questions we didn't ask.

Some of the key questions that are answered in the podcast are:


Is it a 2D or 3D style game?

The genre of the game and why Art of Play Games chose this
genre.

The game levels and storyline

Key dates including the digital, console and collector box
release dates.

What will be in the collector boxes

The price points for the various ways of purchasing the game.

Who are the artists and writers involved in the creation of
the game.

Will it be multi player?

What generation of the Phantom is featured?

What countries and locations will the Phantom be visiting?

Will regular and known characters of the Phantom be included
in the game?

Will there be a morality clause with the game play that suits
the Phantom ethos?

What Phantom tropes will be non negotiable? 

Is there room for an expanded “game universe” with other
Phantoms or characters like Flash, Mandrake etc?

When can we expect more images or gameplay footage?

Easter eggs during the game

Will the game play like a comic?

Will there be a collectible element?

How many units Art of Play Games need to sell to make a
profit

The ball park figure to make this game.
