Chris Roberts working for Acclaim?

[Phillip Tanaka]

Here's a short interview I found in a magazine where they interviewed Chris Roberts on Burnout for the Gamecube. It might be of interest to some who are wondering what he's been doing lately.

hehehe

That's actually not WC's Chris Roberts. I would think that the simple mention of him being a "game designer" and that his favortie games are Tekken 4 and Ridge Racer would be a good giveaway.

 

[Phillip Tanaka]

You sure? It looks exactly like the Chris Roberts we know.

 

[ChanceKell]

Yeah, looked it up at Mobygames' database. And it's not exactly, but this Roberts does look somewhat like a younger WC Roberts.

 

[Phillip Tanaka]

Hmmm...I remember seeing Chris Roberts talking with Mark Hamil and Jason Bernard on the set of WC3 in a magazine. I'll put the pic up so you can compare the two. You be the judge.

This Chris Robert's (the article you posted) is a lot thinner....

 

[Murray]

They look very similar to me.

BTW, how old was Chris Roberts when he directed WC3? He looks rather young

 

[Bandit LOAF]

That's not WC's Chris Roberts. It is apparently a common name in the gaming industry -- there were two Chris Robertses who worked on Wing III (G)

 

[Poulton]

I think that it is the same guy

 

[Bandit LOAF]

No, it isn't. Just reading the blurb about how he started working in the gaming industry will confirm that it *isn't* Wing Commander's Chris Roberts.

 

[Poulton]

OK, maybe it isn't!

 

[TopGun]

Listen Guys Loaf is a WC Expert

 

[Bandit LOAF]

Well, I don't know about that... but I have met Chris Roberts on a number of occasions, and that's *not* him.

 

[Ripper]

Maybe it's a Chris Roberts clone.......

 

[Tarquinn]

He doesn't look anything like the Chris Roberts who created WC.

 

[Bob McDob]

Maybe it's a *CYBORG*!

 

[overmortal]

. . . this is getting kinda stupid . . . And, coming from me, that says a LOT.

You should never rule out the possibility of an evil twin from the future.

It's the Black Lance Chris Roberts.
