Mercenaries 2 character development video: Chris

Learn more about the characters who made the cut in Mercenaries 2: World In Flames for the PC, PS2, PS3 and the Xbox 360 – and those who didn’t – in this character development video that’s focused on Chris, the battle-hardened leader of the three operatives you’ll be playing as in the game. We get you the skinny on everything about the title that pretty much lets you blow up anything and everything in your path.

In this video, we learn that while the two Matts (the Lead Character Artist and the Story Designer/Writer) had made it a point to try and include new playable heroes in the sequel, they decided instead to just go with the original three you were able to play with in the first game.

But even with the decision to stick with the originals, there were still challenges they had to face – namely re-inventing their looks to be more next-gen. Chris himself had a lot of prototypes, each one completely different from the other, before Pandemic’s creative team finally settled with what we now see Chris as.

More information about the arduous process of character-making in the video. Enjoy!
