The new EA UFC developer

[MacGowan]

I've done some googling and come up with nothing, so I'm asking here. What do we know about the new principal software engineer on gameplay and animation for the EA UFC series?

I'm thinking past games, for example. or, what his job in EA Sports would be in practicality If UFC 4 is coming out this year, cause his creative inputs would be minimal, right? help me out here.

Also to note: I do believe UFC4 is the last game on the current contract between EA and UFC.

We've met the new guy. I'm not going to identify him because 1) I dont think I know his real name (people use their username in the chat. I dont think I knew Geoff's name until I met him) and 2) if he wants to participate in OS, I'll let him introduce himself.

As far as I know, he's been around for a while but we didnt meet him until a week or so ago. Seems to know alot about MMA and fighting games and has a long history with them. I'm optimistic that he will be as accepting of input as Geoff was.

I know nothing about the developers so this is just conjecture but I don't think it is fair to give as much credit and blame as we have to the frontman. All AAA games have dozens if not hundreds of developers involved so I doubt that the new dude will cause a massive paradigm shift.

What does that have to do with anything. Im genuinely asking. Is there any chance of news spilling then or what?
