Mike Capps: Epic Games has a PC-exclusive game in the works
by Ben Gilbert on Apr 7th 2012 1:50PM

Gears of War and Fortnite dev Epic Games is getting back to its roots with a PC-exclusive project, creative lead Cliff Bleszinski and president Mike Capps announced today during a PAX East panel. "We might be working on a PC-only title," Capps teased, before Bleszinski picked up where he left off: "Let me say that again: we are working on a PC game."

The panel is still going on, but we'll be sure to chat to the Epic folks as soon as it's over.

Update: Epic Games prez Mike Capps told us after the panel that the unannounced PC project is currently underway, and that the current plans are to keep the game exclusive to the PC platform. Unsurprisingly, he wouldn't tell us anything else.

[BishopLamont]

Epic.

 

[jokkir]

Come on, Unreal Tournament !

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Unreal Tournament 2015. Please.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

UE4 based game for PC/PS4/720 it is.

 

[subversus]

might be a Facebook game!

 

[Sapphire Dreams]

Lets hope it is not Infinity Blade for Facebook.

 

[Makoto]

They're going to dump zero marketing dollars into it, deliberately have it bomb, only to use that result as evidence that PC gaming is dead.

Spoiler

I'm kidding.

Or am I?

 

[Orayn]

I would play an Unreal Tournament version of Quake Live. Do it!

 

[Pie Lord]

I'm almost willing to bet this will turn out to be some kind of free to play project.

 

[Digishine]

and after a few months it will come to the console

a la Witcher 2

 

[subversus]

I'm almost willing to bet this will turn out to be some kind of free to play project.

this would be great

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Happy feet MMO for Facebook!!!

 

[Atomski]

There was a thread about this yesterday.. but I can not for the life of me find it with search.


Anyways great news.. can't wait to see what Epic will do with a PC only game. Would love a new Unreal Tourney .

 

[sp3000]

Almost certain to be some kind of F2P Unreal Tournament

 

[mescalineeyes]

UT F2P. Its a no brainer, really.

 

[Dennis]

PC-exclusive game budget: $200,000

Gears of War 4 budget: $20,000,000

 

[Pie Lord]

Almost certain to be some kind of F2P Unreal Tournament

My thoughts exactly.

 

[subversus]

actually it will be interesting to see what it is because they might try something new with this. As PC allows direct communication with players and quick adjustments to their needs it might pan out pretty nice.

 

[Ghost_Protocol]

Blade runner tech demo game please

 

[funkystudent]

Im saying Windows 8 LIVE exclusive F2P Unreal Tournament.

 

[Adam Scott Aukerman]

Guessing it will be some sort of F2P multi-player thing.

 

[Orayn]

Im saying Windows 8 LIVE exclusive F2P Unreal Tournament.

F2P and that kind of exclusivity don't get along.

 

[Jarmel]

Blade runner tech demo game please

Pretty much this. It won't happen though.

 

[iKeepPlaying]

PC-exclusive game budget: $200,000

Gears of War 4 budget: $20,000,000

And the PC exclusive is still going to be better.

 

[Mindlog]

Yeah, something free but competitive. Something that puts PC FPS back in MLG's lineup.

 

[Derrick01]

It's almost definitely going to be a F2P game, which would mean I am definitely not interested.

 

[REMEMBER CITADEL]

You mean a game that can't be announced for next gen consoles yet?

 

[Tellaerin]

UT F2P. Its a no brainer, really.

Bleh, no.

I'd like a new UT game. Or, hell, an Unreal 3 that hearkens back to the original Unreal.

Couldn't care less about playing the games I already own through a web browser, especially since I don't see an F2P UT supporting all the community-made content that's appeared over the years. And it'd no doubt be infested with microtransactions as well. No thanks.

 

[subversus]

You mean a game that can't be announced for next gen consoles yet?

a game where you don't have to pay 40 000$ for every update!

 

[Pie Lord]

It's almost definitely going to be a F2P game, which would mean I am definitely not interested.

Let me guess, you're one of those who boycotted TF2 when it went F2P, right?

 

[Raide]

UT HD. DO IT!

 

[zlatko]

It better be the next "Crysis" in terms of pushing what a PC can do to run it.

I don't care if it's a FPS, TPS or whatever, but I'm hoping it's a serious big ass project and not just a free to play type of game.

 

[jbueno]

Unrealville, awesome!

 

[chickdigger802]

90% sure it's f2p, requires online connection.

 

[Lancehead]

Considering CliffyB's recent comments on level design, I kinda expect this be a shooter in vein of old school ones.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Gears of War MMO
Unreal Tournament 20xx
F2P game

 

[strafer]

Unreal Torunament 4.

 

[Derrick01]

Let me guess, you're one of those who boycotted TF2 when it went F2P, right?

Nope I did the same thing I did when they charged for it. Didn't buy/download/play it. Not interested in that game at all.

 

[Wazzim]

Dat Unreal Engine 4 showcase.

 

[alexandros]

And the PC exclusive is still going to be better.

Well said!

 

[sp3000]

Bleh, no.

I'd like a new UT game. Or, hell, an Unreal 3 that hearkens back to the original Unreal.

Couldn't care less about playing the games I already own through a web browser, especially since I don't see an F2P UT supporting all the community-made content that's appeared over the years. And it'd no doubt be infested with microtransactions as well. No thanks.

Yeah, I have no interest in a Free to play UT when I can still find a match for the original with tons of user made content. My UT folder is over 9 gigs at this point.

It's not going to be anything graphically impressive either because they are bound by MS and Sony to not show their UE4 engine until next gen platforms show up. They also don't have the budget to spend money on a PC exclusive UE4 game. So it's almost surely going to be F2P.

 

[Plissken]

I would be very happy if it was a PC sequel to Bulletstorm, but that's never gonna happen. So I would go with everyone else and guess F2P Unreal, probably browser based ala Quake Live.

 

[ZoddGutts]

Hope they make a new Unreal Tournament game that isn't hold back by consoles this time.

 

[BrokenEchelon]

Unreal Tournament 4 on Unreal Engine 4 featuring melee combat from the Championship games, and playing like a proper sequel to UT2K4.

Epic instantly redeemed for wasting six years on Gears.

 

[iceatcs]

PC-exclusive game budget: $200,000

Gears of War 4 budget: $200,000,000

Fixed!
I bet it will much more to need for next gen. I believe it will if 'over the top' tech on 720 rumour specs actually real deal.

 

[bee]

anything but unreal tournament please

 

[AppleMIX]

F2P unreal tournament game. Calling it now!

 

[Atomski]

Honestly would love a ut2k4 like game with updated graphics free to play.

 

[King_Moc]

I'll believe it when i see it. I think they've realised where the money is and will be pouring most of their effort into whatever console game they do next.
