I had a chance to spend some time at Epic Games’ Cary, North Carolina offices, mainly to spend some time with the multiplayer portions ofUnreal Tournament 3on the PC. Yes, the game was impressive, and I surely will be doing a more detailed write-up of the various modes I played. But more importantly — what does the dungeon look like thatGears of Warwas made in? Does Cliffy B use the bathrooms on the first or second floor?
While I don’t have a definitive answer to that last question, I can guess that he most likely uses the more private, “home” style bathrooms that you can find on the first floor. But that’s just a guess. As for what the rest of the offices look like, take a look for yourself.
I don’t claim to be an ace photographer, so please forgive the quality of the photos. But you can get a good sense of where the Epic team is spending long hours during these last few weeks ofUnreal Tournament 3crunch time. We’re talking multiple break rooms (with classic arcade cabinets and table tennis), a big on-site motion capture facility, a basketball court, a full weight room, and more. Oh, and they also have offices where they do actual work, too.
No doubt these guys work hard, but they certainly don’t live hard — one look at the cars in Epic’s parking lot could tell you that. It’s like high-end automobile showroom, with gorgeous sports cars lining the rows of the sizable lot. What did these guys do, ship a blockbuster Xbox 360 game or something?
