Punisher: No Mercy Q&A

September 24, 2008 in Interview comments 2

GameSpot gets some answers from managing director of Zen Studios, Zsolt Kigyossy, on "The Punisher: No Mercy", the deathmatch-based, arcade FPS game coming for the PSN. Answers like how many characters are involved, any features or perks, game modes, how many players at once, the storytelling, etc.

For the whole interview, click the source.

GameSpot: The Punisher isn't just any old license, but one of Marvel's most beloved (and badass) characters. What are you hoping to contribute to the Punisher universe?

Zsolt Kigyossy: The Punisher is probably one of the most complex characters of Marvel. He went through so much, and he can be spiritual and understanding. However in our game we aim to focus on the violence and grit of Marvel’s current MAX comic book series, with some influence from War Journal and even a little bit of the ‘80s and ‘90s comics we all grew up with. We’re definitely expecting an M rating from the ESRB for a true Punisher experience.

GS: Tell us from the top: What is The Punisher: No Mercy?

ZK: The Punisher: No Mercy is a first-person shooter based on Marvel's Punisher universe, offering exciting arcade-style shooting action with fast-paced online multiplayer and powered by the latest version of the Unreal Engine 3--so brace yourself for endless action. The game will be exclusively available for the PlayStation 3, downloadable from the PlayStation Network, which is exceptional in this category.

GS: Which villains and allies will be playable, and what are the strengths and weaknesses of each?

ZK: There are eight playable characters in the game, and each of them arrives with a favorite weapon set and special abilities. Some characters include the Punisher, Silver Sable, Barracuda, Jigsaw, and Bushwacker. Before each map, the player can choose one or two special abilities for his or her character, called "mods." These mods have both advantages and disadvantages, so one must carefully consider which one to use. This system allows the player to customize the game experience and adapt it to his or her own play style.

    For a budget price, it could become a solid fun title to play inbetween your hardcore games. One to look out for hopefully.

    Absolutely, only thing that kinda turns me off about the game is the game's storyline, I'm not really familiar with it. And I know this is an "Unreal Tournament" game but still, I like to familiarize myself with things like that.
