Gamasutra Interview: A2M’s Fortier on Wet’s Acrobatic Shift

A2M’s acrobatic action shooter Wet has found a publisher. One of the last titles left in limbo by the Activision-Vivendi merger, it’s now been officially picked up by Fallout 3 and Oblivion publisher Bethesda Softworks.

Wet will ship in Fall on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. At Bethesda’s press event in London last week, Gamasutra had the opportunity to sit down with A2M’s Patrick Fortier, creative director on the project, who talks working with Bethesda and the studio’s creative shift from primarily licensed titles to original work.

Fortier also discusses and the challenges presented by the game’s main mechanic — it’s a third-person action shooter, but at its core is a complex acrobatics system.
