    For those who don't know Sorian (most of the SupCom community knows him), he made an awesome AI mod for SupCom a while back, got hired on at GPG and worked on a bunch of stuff there (including the AI for SupCom2, which even folks who don't like SupCom2 admit is quite good), and now here he comes to work at Uber on PA. Oh, and there was a nig hope from a lot of folks that they would hire on Sorian for this. Well, it's happening!

    Neutrino said he's doing the AI. I believe his words were: Do you have any doubts that our AI will be top notch? Or something along those lines.

    He said that before Sorian got hired though right? Anyway I'm sure Sorian will at least help work on the AI, it's what he's known for right?

    HORAY!

    my only complaint about supcom was that the gap between hard and impossible AI was too big. i don't know if i will ever need to buy another game after this.

    HAH! SupCom. Sorian AI is older than that. ;P Dates back to good ol total Annihilation. ^_^ A mod still, but that's where it started if I'm not mistaken. *Glances at Sorian.*

    Also: My first reaction:
    [21] <The_Pastmaster> BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
    [21] <The_Pastmaster> We are SOOO SCREEEWEEED!

    It feels like the family is back together, making good RTS games again.

    Indeed, it was very gratifying to see these news. I ponder if they will also show us a bit on the process of how Sorian programs the AI in their update videos.
