Unreal2 & MP
Steve Gibson
84
There was quite the pissyfit a little while ago when it was announced that Unreal2 would be shipping without multiplayer. Well the UnrealOps guys spotted this post by CliffyB who came out from behind the bushes to give a quick reasoning: (Thanks Mick)

U2's mp was dropped because, frankly, making a truly next generation single player FPS experience is a ton of work and the game needs to ship sometime this century. The team is focusing on a great SP experience. You think the mod community won't figure out all sorts of crazy stuff with the game within days of release? They will. UT2 will fulfill all of your multiplayer needs.

Also in case you missed it last night, check out this Unreal naming change stuff. Yearly editions?

Steve Gibson is the cofounder of Shacknews.com. Originally known as sCary's Quakeholio back in 1996, Steve is now President of Gearbox Publishing after selling Shacknews to GameFly in 2009.

        That, and the wild parties with drugs and hookers.

            Not going to GDC. Too busy baking in the kitchen.

              so what's up with the GIJoe guy named Duke who looks exactly like Duke Nukem in the GIJoe movie ads?

                Yeah, we just found out about that. It might be a problem we need to look into.

                GI Joe's Duke has been around since at the very least the early 80s. He and Duke Nukem have always been pretty close in the looks dept.

                  then maybe Hasbro needs to have a little talk with 3DR :)

          Well with Duke I guess you could call that research, but what's your excuse for hanging out here and first posting, hmmmmm?!?!

            It's Saturday. I just hit the page to see what's up and was greeted with a big old (0) Comments. I knew I had but seconds to act. So at the risk of further delaying DNF by 10 minutes I posted.

              10 minutes?!@ I find your lack of focus disturbing. You should be chained to your computer (without internet!) 24/7 with breaks only for your usual weekly bathing until the game ships. On a good day perhaps you could be fed a Dorito.

        Dognose would actually be a good candidate for that. He sounds really scary :(
