Exclusive interview with Joel Fagerlund, co-founder of Whiteout and former producer at GRIN, a Swedish game developing studio behind games such as Bionic Commando: Rearmed as well as Wanted: Weapons Of Fate. Before that, he also worked at Avalanche Studios as a QA Lead, working on games like Just Cause 2.
We’ve gotten the privilege to provide you with this interview which will be mainly about Joel and his career so far. There are many questions which we wanted answers for. And even though Joel and his colleagues are under some stress now because they’ve just announced the launch of their new game studio Whiteout, he kindly agreed to be interviewed by us here at GamersCall. The launch of this new studio spread like wildfire over the internet and with a recent visit to GamesCom in Cologne, the guys at Whiteout have been far from lazy. Without further ado, we’re happy to present the interview featuring a producer making his way into the gaming market.
As much as we love our iconic characters in Video Games, some of the character designs are just bad. Here are the top 5 worst character designs in Video Games.
Genuinely a poor list. When I read a title like "Worst Male Character Designs.." I expect the author to have some grasp of artistic methods, aesthetics, and knowledge--but here all we get is a few sentences which add up to "dun like the character because they look angsty".
Prince - Warrior Within
Danta - DmC
Chris Redfield - RE 5
Rad Spencer - Bionic Commando
Remy -SF 3 Third Strike
Not worth a reading IMO
