It can indeed! We're really happy we were able to add this to SR4. You just need to make sure you are logged onto your existing profile and then you can load your character!

One of the things that I really think helped here was that we (Volition) did the PC version of SR3, which wasn't the case on SR2. We have also done the PC sku for SR4 and have been working on that build of the game the entire development cycle for SR4, so I think you'll find the same level of quality for SR4 PC as you had with SR3.

I feel like I get where Cliff is going with this comment. My take is that hes trying to talk about how as an industry we're trying to show we can create games that are an art form - a medium where we can tell great stories. I just tend to come at this from a completely different direction. I think of this along the lines of motion pictures. There are lots of movies out there with plenty of styles to chose from, some serious and some not so serious. It doesn't prevent movies from being an art form or being a lesser medium in some way. For example, I just can't imagine Hollywood suddenly deciding that movies like "The Hangover" shouldn't come out because it is immature. Sure, it may not win an Oscar but it sure is funny as hell and amazingly entertaining. People won't all feel the same way about that movie as I do, but that doesn't mean the movie shouldn't be made. My take is that there is plenty of room for comedies in movies and games.

Scott loves to tell the story about how we had a flyable dragon in the game at one point. We had a week where the team could do anything they wanted, and a group of people added a dragon. It was work in progress but did work. The problem was that it would have taken a fair amount of work and time to get right, so it didn't make it in the game. Wish it could have!

As for SR during the THQ bankruptcy, basically companies were free to bid on THQ as a whole, or on individual items such as Volition and SR. Deep Silver ended up winning us, and we couldn't be happier with the way things have gone!
