What are the challenges in designing something that's completely unknown to humans?asked by Xenowar

Well, basically you draw from the influences that you've had growing up. The movies that you've watched, your favorite sci-fi movies and those things. They always have things in there. I mean, Star Wars, great influence. Those kinds of things, all sci-fi movies. You draw from those influences and then also from real world technology and you kind of meld them together and you come up with something unique and something that could be in the future.

You just worked on Starhawk and there was some pretty cool stuff in that, right?

Yeah. It was definitely futuristic, but we also wanted to keep the real world mechanical element in there, because it's also important to be able to relate to it, I think. With real world stuff, if it's too far, too sci-fi, it's like nobody can relate to it.
