What a strange interview.
I'm surprised EG got away without a punch in the chops :) |

Very nice interview, really felt like you guys were walking the line. Perhaps even crossing the line a small bit.
But hey I love it when an interviewer actually tries to get something out of them, instead of leaving it at that the moment they say "I'm not going to say anything about that". Its a journalist job, to try and get something out of em |

unreal tournament's actual sales figures are probably slightly less...
if i want to make a mod for the ps3 version, i have to buy the pc version so i can get the editor. but then i can't play the pc version cos my laptop isn't good enough. so that means i need to pay £80 just to make mods and play them! |

Yes as commented earlier, patch UT3 PS3 please, you prick. Apparently. Oh that's gonna get me far isn't it! Oh well, mod browser or not, I just want some more Midway dedicated servers, maybe you could ask Mr Rein that one next time Tom? And what about UT4?! Is that even on the cards anymore? Is the franchise down the drain?

How refreshing from the usual powder-puff gumf. Very good Tom.
I want more hard questions put to Sony, Nintendo, MS etc. "Why is there still a lack of exclusive AAA titles for PS3?" "Are the failure rates of 360 hardware now comparable to the industry average?" "Why does it take Nintendo 2 - 6 times longer to Euro-translate games over competitors" |

you guys could feel it too? the thing in the room everyone was trying to ignore? the 1000 pound gorila in the corner with a UT3 bombed T shirt on! :) i think most interviews with epic now have pre interview clauses about aproved questions. "no we wont talk about how piss UT3 was, no, nor how much the sales of it bombed - not by nod wink or obscure reference you got it?"
poor bastard, they have to give interviews for gow2 but these same interviews come after one of the worst comcercial failures of recent memory - not since the halicon days of die kintana has a game been so anticipated for so long to go down the tubes so fast! it makes for some dicey moments for both interviewer and interviewee. hehe classic - i could feel the love. |
