When my appointment with Infogrames started Meridith pulled
me aside and said "Go sit and here and watch." Uh, ok. I sit down
and behind sits Marc Rein from Epic and in walk three guys from Legend Entertainment
(among them Mike Verdu). This is going to be really good I thought to myself
and my expectations were exceed bigtime. Mike sat down and said something
like thanks for coming to the this special showing of Unreal 2 - jackpot!
We sat there for a good 25 minutes while Mike took us through demostrations
of graphics behind Unreal 2, the AI, the team controls and more. (Side
note: there is a tape of this meeting that exists and is in the process of
being remastered for quality). Let me just say that Legend Entertainment
is doing right by the Unreal franchise. For more details read the
article I wrote after seeing the game that day.
Here are links to articles about Knights
of the Old Republic and Unreal
Championship.

Thanks goes out to James from Digital Extremes for the awesome
demo he showed of Unreal Championship. The story of this showing is similiar
to that of Unreal 2 - in fact, it was right after the Unreal 2 showing.
I get up to leave the room and Meridith from Infogrames says to sit back down,
I am going to want to see this. After last time I know to listen to Meridith
by now - they fire up Unreal Championship on a Dev Xbox and let me tell you
I was blown away. For a detailed description check out my Day
One Recap.
Republic: The Revolution is going to be a very talked
about title. The AI in it is incredible. The sheer scope of the game is very
impressive. Check out a more detailed article about the game here.
