The Previews/Interviews Thread

[Chris!(($$))!]

Well the Wii U is sort of the first of the next gen of consoles. Once its released Sony and M$ will be forced to start moving forward with their next consoles.

I remember that AvPGalaxy submitted a bunch of questions to be asked with Gearbox in an upcoming interview.  What ever happened to that?

[chupacabras acheronsis]

they're not answering anything until that information is no longer sensitive.

so esentially it's going to be just what people thought the PSP was going to be used for in the PS3.

[predxeno]

How convenient for us.

I believe the embargo will end soon (next week) and we will have fresh reviews to read about the game, including aspects of multiplayer.

Pitchford made a few interesting comments about the Wii U version of A:CM.  While he didn't reveal much, it almost sounds like he thinks that the Wii U version will be most innovative and best one of the bunch.

As for the Q&A, it's still with Gearbox. The team has been very busy for the past few months and it hasn't been answered yet.

apparently the Wii U is basically on par with PS3 X360 power wise, i think it's slightly more powerful, but only Wii vs PS2 kind of level "more powerful"

Yup, that interview is listed on the preview event thread. If you'd like to discuss the story of the characters you can start a new topic. Make sure to add a spoiler warning next time too.

I had no idea there would be team death-match where one side gets to play the aliens.  I thought there was just a co-op horde mode vs bots.

Sweet!
