Motormouth strikes again
Everybody listens to Rein's opinion. Well! That's because there is no other choice. He's talking all the time. Even in his sleep he's trying to tell everybody what he thinks about everything. He never stops. Even, if you ask him to. If at least he was right once, say, out of two.
You know what Rein?! We don't care about what you think! Keep it to yourself!
Re: Motormouth strikes again
I agree, I have to say from what I have read of his comments he is very big headed and almost seems to contradict himself on some occassions.
No way do I believe that EPIC is worth anywhere near $1billion let alone $2billion!!
There games arent that amazing and after only releasing gears of war which was very sucessful he now believes that the company is worth that much? I have to laugh here...I mean at him.
Epic's worth....250 M$ at the most
1 b$ ? Mark, you must be kidding. If they offer 1b$, take the money...and run. If Epic's worth 1/4 of that, than only to a Microsoft and only to disable the competition of the use of their (very average) middleware. Just think of how much Criterion was bought by EA (including a great franchise, Burnout) !
Re: Epic's worth....250 M$ at the most
I like Mark. Good luck to him
Re: Epic's worth....250 M$ at the most
Mark Rein Pioneered online gaming when you kids were an inch in your mums knickers. He was right about the indutry then and still is NOW and his influence covers HALF of games made.
as for the value of EPIC well what price on the best video ga*****ngine in the world, Sure UT 3 is a massive let down but EPIC make ga*****ngines primarily UT is just the showcase. The list of Unreal based games is like whos who of the gaming industry, With many top titles all based on UE3 Its the only developer platform to provide dx10 quality graphics on ALL FORMATS. Id say they are worth more than you think. your thinking they are a video game producer.
Gears of War, BioShock, Rainbow six, Ghost recon, MoH, Turok, Americas Army, Halo, End War, Brothers In Arms, Huxley, MassEffect .
The list of Unreal based games is endless THAT is worth way more than $1billion
Re: Epic's worth....250 M$ at the most
@5
Yep, you're right. To say Epic is about Gears of War and nothing else simply highlights ignorance. It's all about the engine.
Re: Epic's worth....250 M$ at the most
Hopefully he could spend the money on a better shirt
Re: Epic's worth....250 M$ at the most
@5 Halo wasnt based or used the Unreal engine, dunno where you got that idea from.
Re: Epic's worth....250 M$ at the most
@Acerimmer:
Are you Marks Reins little ***** or something? Take your tounge out of his backside. Mark was an arrogant ****er back then and he's an arrogant ****er now.
