Turning Point: Fall of Liberty (Preview)

15 Feb 2008

We’re all for any excuse to send the Nazis to invade Manhattan. Figuratively, we mean, since no one expects to say that in a lifetime. Or this: Killing Winston Churchill is just what we needed to make Nazis worth killing again. Hardly a hero's death, the great statesman kisses the grill of a taxi cab in 1931, dies, and spins an alternate history where the Third Reich attacks the Big Apple in 1953. Awesome concept, no? ...

Turning Point's Message? 'What Are You Fighting For?' (News)

21 Jan 2008

As part of an in-depth Gamasutra interview, Spark Unlimited CEO Craig Allen has been discussing the message behind upcoming alternate-history WWII title Turning Point: Fall Of Liberty, suggesting the nation-conquering storyline has messages relevant to today.

"For our team, having spent a lot of time doing WWII games... Medal of Honor was really exploring what it means to be a hero in war. Call of Duty was exploring what is that kind of personal role that somebody plays as part of a team or a squad... Maybe there's honor, maybe there's glory, but you really want to get out alive with your buddies... survival.

So with Turning Point, it was exploring what the personal choices a citizen makes due to engaged conflict and also having some fun with exploring alternate weaponries, find out where technology would have evolved with the Nazis if we hadn't interrupted their progress. How would the conflict dynamics have changed if America stayed isolated and didn't build a war machine?"
