Matt Prior, UEFA EURO 2008 (Xbox 360, PS3) Associate Producer... Obviously when making a game like EURO we have to include the tournament and the qualifiers and we've done a lot in terms of making everything match the teams you're up against. But at the same time we thought why not let gamers play the game from a different perspective and experience the highs and lows of a EURO campaign from the point of view of an individual player? ...

Press junkets rated: UFC 2009 Undisputed (UFC 2009 Undisputed)

9/04/2009

Being in ‘the industry’ we get to visit loads of gaming press events. Some are low-key – we’ve had to fight other malnourished journos for the one plate of chips passed around during a six hour event. Some take place in hotels so luxurious you’d need a bank account bigger than Scrooge McDuck’s just to get inside. While others are filled with squat fighting men and scrambled egg wraps.

The Epic tradition (Unreal Tournament III)

26/10/2007

Oct 26, 2007 Inside an office in sunny Raleigh, North Carolina, Epic vice president Mark Rein settles back into a comfy seat. "It all started way back in the stone age," he begins. "You know, Tim Sweeney started the company in his parents' basement in Maryland." Today Epic is out of the basement and has the two monster-sized games Unreal Tournament 3 and Gears of War (PC) in development. Outside of Mark's office, staff members play on the Epic basketball court, others help themselves to a ...

Unreal Tournament 3 - interview (Unreal Tournament III)

24/07/2007

Epic's Unreal Tournament games have always been well populated with playable characters attached to teams/factions within the universe, and the likes of Malcolm have become icons for the series. The latest, Unreal Tournament III, is no different with six teams and potentially 24 characters lining up to be "possessed" by players when it launches in November. But what inspires the game's character designs? What does Unreal Engine 3.0 mean to Epic's character artists and will we truly be able to ...

Can UT console mods ever work? (Unreal Tournament III)

26/02/2007

Is the PC taking another bullet to the chest as a feature that was unique to the platform is now spreading to console?

Unreal Tournament 3 - interview (Unreal Tournament III)

7/02/2007

Ultra-realistic tactical shooters may have taken center-stage in recent years, but Unreal Tournament 3 proves there's still demand for brutal, flag snatching deathmatch amongst PC gamers, and with Epic Games' strengthened investment in console versions - no doubt fuelled by a certain 360 shooter that recently found success - rocket-flinging frag fests may become king of the couch again as well. Last week we sat down with UT3 producer and all-round good guy Jeff Morris to chat-up the ...
