    lol... http://www.wiibuild.com/launch/?ref=

    doesnt seem like one of ours, or else they'd have given credit to the construct crew :p

    EDIT: more research seems to have uncovered that this was some kind of event too http://www.quitecurious.com/wii-build-event/

    I don't think you noticed, but rawr32.net is linked to on that page, Deathborn.

    Yup, good old Raptor Hideout.

    It's funny how small the world is. I think it's fair to say T2 Construction mod is full of win.

    I hope krash will come shed some light. :D

    *Sheds some light* Yes, it is true.

    I said Krash. :(
  • HHumans
    Erm, so what exactly is it?
  • MezalythMezalyth
    I visited the pages...didn't really shed any light...the Nintendo page is just Wiibuild ...in big letters....

    The link to Rawr32.net is amazing, though...

    I wish I knew wtf was going on...
  • HHumans
    Maybe I won't sell my Wii after all.

    Well, I can tell you that yes, the game is based on construction mod, and yes, we're involved... We're currently working closely with the folks at Nintendo to polish up the initial design and gameplay concepts. We haven't made a press release yet though, so the link must've trickled down from a few hints we made at GDC last week. It will still be kept on the low-down for a bit longer, but they may decide to let a few more hints out before we announce it.

    There may be a few more specific questions I can answer without getting us in trouble... so, if you've got them, ask.

    Wow that's incredible!

    I have a question, is it being constructed in the same manner of Tribes 2? Or will it be completely redesigned from scratch with no elements of an actual shooter remaining? Because Nintendo are developing it, I'm assuming they'll be taking out any of the remaining fighting elements and having it purely as a builder?
  • AArklon
    Is snickering appropriate?
  • DeflunDeflun
    How much where you paid to have you replaced by an android?

    How much is the android being paid?

    But now seriously, sit next to the fireplace and tell us how all this started.
  • Spin1441Spin1441
    /me provided the weed and the lager!

    I'm assuming that since WiiBuild is being designed as a game in it's own rights, then the engine is actually going to be made to accomodate it, unlike the Torque engine.

    So what kind of features will we be able to expect, that we couldn't normally expect to see on the Tribes 2 version?

    And also, will issues like lag and vis limit due to pieces be completely abolished?
  • ShaneShane
    yes. and perhaps

    HOLY CRAP! Thats awesome.

  • VVazolyth

    Demoncard, I must admit that quote over there could have been funny, if only you picked a better year.
  • MezalythMezalyth

  • Numbuh 178Numbuh 178
    Any updates?
  • UltraConUltraCon
    Very interesting, looking forward to find out more about it.
  • OOni Link
    Hrm, when i first typed in the link, i though it would be something homebrew like. Seams Nintendo's up to something that could be big.
  • DEATHBORNDEATHBORN
    boink! i was acctually wondering if theres anything new, this thread is too good to let die just yet :)
  • FFURB
    Eh... Is the link broken or did they give up already?
