Can you speak on the tone of the music that will be in the game with a comparison to the other soundtracks?
JAFFE SAYS: Nothing is locked yet but the core idea is this: 4 channels. Channel 1=metal music with 70's/80's inspired original metal music, modern style metal, and then we're hoping to license a few metal songs as well but we may or may not do that. Looking at stuff like Diamond Eyes by Shinedown and Heavy Metal by Sammy Hagar (plus more) but hard to say if that's a go or not yet. Channel 2=orchestral movie music like the rooftops music in TM1. Got one of my fave movie music composers of all time lined up and if the contract gets signed, he'll be doing this channel! So excited! Channel 3= hybrid/mix/mash up (aka random selects of channel 1 and 2). Channel 4=custom soundtrack.
NONE of this is locked but this is the plan. It's subject to change but I hope not
Will there be Bonus stages in single player? If so, how are the bonus stages handled? (don't expect you to answer this)
JAFFE SAYS: Bonus stage ala TM:HEAD ON? No, nothing like that in this game.
Who is the most agile car thus far? Who is the most oh shit, run car?
JAFFE SAYS: Nothing...yet! We start tuning the cars to differentiate them from one another come January. I imagine the cycle and some of the sports cars will be the most agile. The goal is never to have a shit car. Handling wise if a car is shit, we like to think we balance it in other areas (great special weapon, armor, more weapon carry capacity, etc)...
Is spectre's missile harder or easier to avoid than Head on?
JAFFE SAYS: Can't answer w/out giving too much away. Sorry . BUT I will say the goal is to have all weapons able to be dodged based on if you play well.
I don't think he's in this time, but if you guys put Crimson fury in, Please dont make his special useless.
JAFFE: Promise!
Unlockable bosses?
JAFFE SAYS: Can't get into details but let's just say I doubt it. When you see them you will know why. Do you expect to unlock Cronos in GOW III? Ok, that's hyperbole. We got nothing that big but the point being that our bosses are FUCKIN BOSSES if you know what I mean :lol
the ONLY way to get health is to follow the health truck? does he drop turbo also, or is that scattered throughout the level as usual?
Health comes from driving into the back of the semi health truck, grabbing health pick up in the level and grabbing health your team mate (tow truck) drops onto the battlefield.
Who is your favorite character to use right now? Favorite level?
JAFFE SAYS: Mr. Grimm is my fave because his chain saw that he throws does MEGA DAMAGE BUT there is a LOOOONG wind up before he lets the weapon fly so the timing is very odd/unusual/tricky BUT when you get it down and get a hit it feels great! And when you drag the saw along the ground when you pop a wheelie it flames up and then when you throw it it does even MORE damage so he can be devastating if you are good with him. His armor and/or hit points tho- as they should be- are poo.
If you answer at least one of these questions, I'll be happy.
