The full interview between C&VG and Christopher Archer of Activision can be found over at Computer and Video Games. Below is an extract.
What's the inspiration behind something that is very obviously a cinematic experience?
Archer:I think the inspiration definitely came from certain novels, Hong Kong cinema and American action films. If I were to compare it to a film I would probably say your favourite American action movie and action hero with all the abilities of Hong Kong cinema, like double guns and martial arts, with an angry, jaded main character that gets stuff done his way. It really makes for a very compelling story.
