Lol we talked about this on the x-boards.

Still here is an interview.

And here is some information about Sandersville.

So I gotta say I hope they redesign the first guy who they never gave us a name on because two white guys does not say diversity to me. Especially when one of them comes from a town that is 60% Black.

Ouch, someone dropped the ball

These new characters are insanely bland.

Also, what's with the wave of new "kids" on the block? Just cuz X:FC is all about kids doesn't mean this game should be.

Feels like this game is being made for fans of Power Rangers. Gimme a break.

Sigh, pathetic.

I have to say... My interest-level in this game lessened dramatically when it went from 'create your own mutant' to 'play one of the three pre-built mutants we provide for you.'

So, no connection to Grant Aleksander, the actor who is perhaps best known for his role as Phillip Spaulding on the (now-cancelled) soap opera THE GUIDING LIGHT, a role he played on and off from 1982 through the shows cancellation in 2009.

Am I missing something? Last time I checked there were only two people and the first was a girl from Chinatown or something.

I actually dont have a problem with this game so far. It actually looks pretty good. Theyre probably putting more effort into the story than the characters. I dont have a problem with that.

Character customization is always pretty hit or miss so I dont really have a problem with that. It would have been cool to pick your powers but im fine either way. Mutants dont get to chose their powers. My problem is that theres only three characters. I would like there to be four or five. But if each have their own story, leading in its own direction, three could be fine. As long as the stories dont follow the same lines and fight the same people. That way I can beat the game with each of the three people and not feel like im playing the same thing over and over again.

Im guessing Action RPG. I dont know what to call a story thats linear with a bunch of different directions to go.
