When I saw the debut teaser for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 Fusion during E3, I got pretty excited. The teaser said that we’d be able to fuse Marvel’s greatest heroes powers together. As it turns out, Activision meant something totally different from what people were probably anticipating.

Chatting with Gamasutra during Seattle’s recent GameFest, Epic Games’ Mike Capps confirmed progress on Unreal Engine 4 mentioning that it should be ready for debut “…in the next console generation - our rough guess is 2012 - 2018.” Interesting too was confirmation from Capps that the UE4 will have “console focus” where “version 4 will exclusively target the next console generation, Microsoft’s successor for the Xbox 360, Sony’s successor for the Playstation 3 - and if Nintendo ships a machine with similar hardware specs, then that also.

No beta details revealed yet for the Qore-less Europe.
Update: Posting on myresistance.net, Insomniac Community …

Unlike Microsoft’s Don Mattrick previously reported, Bungie president Harold Ryan is denying ever laughing over news that their special Halo announcement would be postponed until after E3. “I certainly didn’t agree with the decision to delay our news until sometime after E3,” Ryan explained, re-iterating the fact that “Bungie is always concerned first and foremost with our fans. Whenever we are prevented from exceeding their positive expectations it is not a laughing matter.” 100% concurred. Postponed Halo game announcements are no laughing matter. No laughing matter at all.
