Heh, DE guy is posting on the Shack.

=)

Pinball looks coooool.

>>Tim Sweeney has nothing to do with Epic Pinball, James Schmalz (Digital Extreme's president) made it on his own (Yes, the art AND the programmation). It was a one-man project made in 10 months. Check http://www.digitalextremes.com/Corporate.html# for more details. The page also explain how James Schmalz started Unreal as a one man project and eventually got some help from Epic as the project grew bigger and bigger.

  I don't believe it was a DE post... the cable provider is based in Quebec. Mike : Drakken_Mordith

    that doesn't mean it isn't available in Ontario (London, or wherever they're located...) : astral
    - Granted, however a quick availability search on their site quickly excludes the london area. Drak : Drakken_Mordith

Great, Tim Sweeney wants some nostalgia. It turns out that over 6 years ago, he released "Epic Pinball" back when Epic MegaGames was an all-shareware company.

Jesus Christ. Pinball rocks, but this looks like utter crap. If you're going to use an FPS engine to do pinball, you could recreate the look and feel of real machines -- not this jungle island stuff. What a waste.

Best looking pin stuff to date was Microsoft's Arcade, with recreations of classic tables. It didn't play the greatest, but looked superb.

"As Extreme Pinball was being created James continued his 3d research and gradually Unreal began to form. Progress was very slow considering James was the sole developer on the project, so James brought Cliff Bleszinski aboard. "

This looks confusing.

Epic Pinball was cool... never managed to activate the andriod though. It was fun but good at it I wasn't.

Co-develooped with Digital Extremes. DE guys used to make kick ass pinball games (called Epic Pinball?) if my memory serves me right.
