Ring 2 interview

Gamer’s Hell has posted an interview with Stephen Carrière, the Creative Director Arxel Tribe, talking about their upcoming adventure Ring 2. Here’s an excerpt from the interview:

Ring 2 seems to focus more on the artistic side of graphics and sounds, would you care to elaborate on that?

We like to think of Ring 2 as an “author’s game”. Philippe Druillet’s vision of the saga is really giving the game a unique visual identity. We are offering clearly a Tale in the old sense of the world. And it is a tale that we think of as one of the quintessential ones. As for the music, well it is of course a pleasure to have Wagner’s magnificent composition as a soundtrack. I’d like to add that we tried our best to animate those backgrounds adding special effects and sprites so that the global experience become a much more lively one.
