Assault Horizon: Behind the Scenes

Markov vs. Bishop

One of the key elements of the story to Ace Combat is the battle between Bishop and Markov. To use a fancy word, the duality between the two characters was, for me, one of the spines of the story.

Doppelganger antagonists (more fancy terms) are a stock in fiction, even in the sorts of stories you have to read in high school. (Secret Sharer comes to mind, not least of all because I've been heavily influenced by Joseph Conrad - see Leopard's Kill.) In this case, the duality seemed really fitting, since the heart of the game is, quite literally, a duel.

Puns, fancy words - hey, this ain't a lit class. Don't you just want to grab the controller and play the damn game already?

We can in a week.
