'Art vs Business' | Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Interview

GamerZines writes:

The line between blockbuster feature films and games are blurring more and more nowadays. Triple-A franchises like Uncharted, Resident Evil, Crysis, Call of Duty and Mass Effect all do their best to emulate the big screen with flashy set pieces an over-reliance on story and convulted dialogue.

Moments before we first saw Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, the product of famed Swedish film-maker turned game director Josef Fares, we expected Starbreeze Studio’s new downloadable game to be built the same way as those aforementioned pretenders. Instead what we found was a game boasting subtle storytelling, a surprisingly upbeat fantasy setting and a touching plot starring two brothers searching out an item to cure their dying father.

To put it bluntly Fares’ baby isn’t anything like we anticipated, so we decided to quiz him on what drove him to marshall Brothers’ development in this surprising direction…

I don’t think so but here it is. I did enjoy it originally I wonder what they changed.

SimpleSlave494d ago

No, and the new graphics are sad. Should've at least kept the original painterly style and just make it with better shaders, effects, lighting, etc.

As it is, this is unnecessary.

SyntheticForm494d ago

Never played it, so I'll be picking this up.

InUrFoxHole494d ago

If its a Sony game you know it's getting a remake... asap

jznrpg494d ago

This was made during the PS3 gen but Sony had nothing to do with making it.

InUrFoxHole494d ago

I know man I'm just throwing out static

FinalFantasyFanatic493d ago

I thought this only came out on Xbox and PC at that time.

QuantumMechanic494d ago

I played and finished it on Xbox One.

jznrpg494d ago

It came out generation before though

QuantumMechanic491d ago (Edited 491d ago )

Yes, but years later it was re-released in one of those bargain hybrid 360/One cases.

BrainSyphoned494d ago (Edited 494d ago )

It was a one month Xbox 360 exclusive during the 2013 Summer of Arcade.
