Gavin Lowe of GameKudos interviews the lead creator of Ninja Theory's Enslaved: Odyssey to the West. In the interview, Antonaides talks about what obstacles the team had to face during production.

The basis for the story in Enslaved is the ancient Chinese text Journey to the West, but what might have been a fantasy story was translated into science fiction by Ninja Theory. “Games often take obvious roots, like Lord of the Rings for anything that involves dungeons and wizards, Aliens for anything with Space Marines, and Mad Max 2 if it’s post-apocalyptic,” Antonaides said. The ancient Chinese story was “a new source of Fantasy for the west.”

    Let's hope I'm shown otherwise.
