  I wonder how much input Carpenter had into this game (beyond providing his name).

  That being said I don’t doubt that the motifs of the games are inspired by Carpenter’s movies, I am just wondering his level of involvement.

  How did they even get Carpenter to partake in this? Sabre Interactive is recognizable name, but it’s no EA.

    He is a big gamer, so the chances are than some other older directors

      Did not know about that! Then I could see him being involved.

    Maybe it was the other way

    Carpenter has done most of his soundtracks and is currently in a band. So, I’d imagine that he’ll contribute to the OST.

  I hope they used practical effects in this game. That’s where his work really shines in my opinion.

  Toxic Commando. 🤦‍♂️

  I was over here wondering why John Carpenter was even involved with this because my mind kept swapping commando for Avenger which is an entirely different franchise.
