Mark Rein Speaks

CVG has recently spoken with none other then Mark Rein from Epic Games. Last year, Rein bashed various aspects of the Revolution as he continued to praise the Xbox 360 and his upcoming Gears of War title for the platform.

Not very long after, Nintendo's very own Jim Merrick caught up with Rein and after a few pleasant words, convinced Rein to accept a Revolution dev kit. Rein has gone on to say that he did not mean for his words on the Revolution to have come out as they did and formally apologized.

CVG: Moving onto Nintendo and its plans for the Revolution - what do you make of its approach? Is it a system you’d look to develop for?

Mark Rein: We’re definitely interested in it and we’re looking forward to seeing the specifications and where it sits in terms of graphical capability. We’re interested in looking at it, we’ve spoken to Nintendo and expressed our interest.

According to this, it doesn’t seem like Merrick ever got around to sending Epic that dev kit after all. Maybe he had no time to do so because he was too busy leaving NoE.
