Gearbox's New Game

by Steve Gibson Jan 26, 2002 3:52pm CST tags: Electronic Arts, Valve, Gearbox, James Bond
The March issue of Computer Gaming World reveals that GearBox Software is finally coming out from the shadow of Valve Software and doing a project that isnt related to the Half-Life universe.. (Albeit it's a damn fine and profitable shadow to be in). Thanks HomeLanFed. There isnt a heck of a lot of detail about what they are working but we can gather this much.

- James Bond license
- Electronic Arts publisher
- Multi-platform although not specified
- Described as the "thinking mans shooter" (ed: You have to find the yellow and blue key to make the green key!)

The other question that remains, what technology would they use for the engine? In house? Valve's Tech? DOOM tech? Lets put Pat Hook's nuts in a vise and find out! Right Pat!?
