TNBT at E3 2011?

[Moonrat]

No doubt they'll be someone out there who'll be able to prove that 2+2 doesn't equal 5 but there is an interesting comment in the Issue 41 of the X-Universe News.

Peter Kullgard (EGOSOFT Producer), who started "at the end of last year" (2010 Q4?), stated that his job was...

to make sure we are always one step ahead, making sure that we have time in reserve for ‘eventualities’. A lot of times things like “We need a demo for E3” are forgotten and it comes as a last-minute shock to the team. It is my job to make sure this never happens.

To my knowledge there wasn't an Egosoft demo at the last E3 in mid' June 2010 which in anycase appears to be before Peter Kullgard joined Egosoft. If it's Peter's current job to ensure that "a demo for E3" is not forgotten was he referring to his current work sheet for this financial year???

Interesting catch there..

It might refer to other promotional events, though, with this just being an example. Still, fuel for rumour, certainly.

He might just refer to something general, or experiences from his last job. As you also know E3 aint that big anymore, Im not even sure if Egosoft has even been at an E3 before. If that was the hidden hint, he'd sooner mention the gamescon in Germany itself i suppose.

What is TNBT?

What is TNBT?

"The Next Big Thing", referring to the next game Egosoft is developing and going to publish, of which no information is available yet.

Oh. Sounds exciting. Maybe. A little. Whatever...

Any bets on what the "TNBT" will be?

Mine is on the German version of... "Chapter 11." Ha ha. Sorry, I have a jaded sense of humor in this current economy.
