Looks like they are hiring to prepare for the roll out. I am guessing Christmas this year.

MORE INFO

Turbine (via WB) registered a crap load of new Batman related domains last month. These don't appear to be related in anyway to the Gotham City project.

These domains are pointed at Turbine ips. assigned to Turbine.

BatmanImpostors.com
BatmanRedHoods.com
BatmanHushGame.com

If I worked at Turbine I would quit out of the shame I would feel for being tied to destroying the fantasy worlds of fellow gamers.  Also, I would actually know the game mechanics as I would actually play the game past level 12.  Which means that they would probably fire me for knowing what I am talking about.

Here is what I know. These things may or may not be related.

Turbine has been working on a console MMO since 08/09 (360/ps3).

Twisted Pixel was involved. Not sure now, as Twisted Pixel was bought by Micro$oft.

The console project is codenamed Hendrix.

Turbine is ramping up hiring for a console product. It looks like (to me) it is nearing release.

Turbine has been involved with Gotham City at some level.

WB registers a freaking crap load of Trademarks and domains. The recently trademarked the words 'oompa loompa" and "Gremlins 3". It is a little hard to piece together what is going to be relevant in regards to this console game.

There has been some domain names registered around the name "Legends of Middle Earth". Not sure if this is related. I read something about this before, and I thought it was tied to another WB game developer.

Hmmm...

Looks like Turbine is hosting games from other WB developers. I think I am off track here.

From scanning Linkedin, resumes, facebook, google+, and other forums (game design, graphic design, and a forum for something called pyMEL) it looks like the people on this project are either shared with LOTRO, or were pulled from LOTRO.

In addition, the original console program with Turbine got started with a 40 million dollar investment from WB. This was way before WB bought them out.

WB has a lot invested in the LOTR movies and merchandise.

LOTRO is Turbines biggest property.

Given all that, I am guessing this console game is going to be LOTR related. I am putting the odds at 85%.

I would still like to track down what this "Greyfoundy" stuff is.

All I have been able to dig up about Grey Foundry is that is the title of their new game.  I haven't been able to find out anything more.  If you do, let me know.

I have found that Turbine has been hiring engineers/programers away from the Lego MMO for this project. No really. I am serious.

Some more rumors to track down.

Steam is coming out with its own console - more of a slimmed down windows desktop/appliance. I think this is important because Turbine/Steam just started working together.

Turbine has had a LOTRO console ready for a long time. Microsoft won't green light it because of the free to play aspect. (Makes the Steam theory worth looking at.)

Turbine has the ability, and will be releasing a browser based DDO/LOTRO client. They already have the LOTRO client, I believe. This may be important for the console MMO. Not sure.


Anyone else got any ideas/info here?

Do you know that this alone is a company killer... It already happened, it can happen again.

Now with WB Backing I trust Turbine won't go ICE way when TE ( sorry, Middle Earth Enterprise a.k.a. Saul Zaentz ) will try to pull the plug.
