Game Informer's Marcus Stewart sat down with Mike Willette, executive producer of the upcoming Invincible VS, and did what any self-respecting gaming journalist would do - absolutely pelted the man with 95 rapid-fire questions about the Robert Kirkman and Corey Walker comic-based fighter. No save points, no respawns, just pure unfiltered Q&A combat.
The interview, published as an exclusive cover story on Game Informer, serves as a crash course for anyone who's been sleeping on this title. Think of it as the character select screen for your brain - a quick way to get up to speed on what Invincible VS is bringing to the fighting game arena before you commit your main.
For the uninitiated, Invincible VS is pulling its roster and lore straight from the brutally violent (and we mean brutally violent) world of Invincible - a comic series that basically exists to remind you that superhero fights have consequences. You know, the kind of consequences that make Mortal Kombat blush.
What makes this interview format particularly spicy is that Game Informer's own rapid-fire style isn't just informative - Stewart reportedly used it as an opportunity to test some "worst comedic material" on Willette, which honestly sounds like a boss fight we'd pay to watch. Whether Willette survived with full HP is unclear, but the man stayed in the ring for all 95 questions, which deserves at least a few style points.
The full interview is live over at Game Informer and acts as a proper primer for players who want the lowdown before the game drops. If you've been on the fence about whether Invincible VS deserves a slot in your fighting game rotation alongside the titans of the genre, this is probably your best opportunity to find out without having to actually, you know, read a whole article. Ironic, we know.
