Sina Game: First, please introduce, as digital extremes (hereinafter referred to as DE) of the cast, in your concept, "star armor" is what?


Steve: To me, "Star Wars" is such a game, it combines the sci-fi elements and Oriental martial arts, like Star Wars in the concept of Oriental Ninja, we planted in the boxing, melee, assassination and other systems, he is a third-person shooter game, We have joined the RPG to develop elements on its basis, you can feel your hero is becoming strong, this is the core of "Star Wars" very innovative point.


Sina Game: "Star War A" in the various images are very unique, may I ask in the initial design of the development of your battle armor from what?

For example, there is a hero called evil Shinloki, we from the myth of northern Europe to think of rocky character, and then we made a stealth, assassination, change the shadow hero. On this basis we will also draw on the views of the player community, we will listen to the players want what kind of hero, what kind of skills and the form, we will be in the design of heroes in the combination of these ideas.

Sina Game: The news said that 2014 years have Chinese companies bought more than half of the shares, whether it is true, the acquisition of this year's warframe into China?

Sina Game: It is reported that the "star War a" in the Chinese market has a PC and PS4 two platform by different agents, this situation in China rarely appear, why not a whole company?

Steve Sinclair Introduction:


as creative director, Steve Sinclair is responsible for the concept of "Star Wars" and the World design, Steve's idea of "Star Wars" originated more than 10 years ago, but until Digitalextremes shifted its focus to the free gaming market, his vision was met. At the beginning of 2012, under Steve's leadership, the idea of Star Wars became reality, and he had been working on the game so far. He also led a team to develop a dedicated evolution engine, combining his technology and creativity to make Star Wars stand out in many games. Under the leadership of Steve, every update of the game will bring new things to the player. I believe in the next few years, this game will continue to bring more joy and surprise to the player.
