I think Microsoft/Sony should pick it up(could definitely see MS picking it up). My guess is that it would play like the batman games with a little bit of gun play mixed in.

Sometimes I read the end of a sentence first then the middle then the beginning because I'm weird.

So I got excited when I read "Epic's Samaritan tech demo becomes a full game". Then was subsequently disappointed when I read "Thread: I'm still hoping..."

/sigh.

Me too. There would be people clamoring as soon as it would be unveiled though: "Wow, completely different from the original tech demo! What a downscale!". But it certainly scratched my scifi/Blade Runner itch.

Didn't Epic just cancel project Nano/Blueprint that was based on Samaritan?

An action game(think DMC, Bayonetta, the batman games, Ninja gaiden ect.)

If they did, I could see MS or Sony bringing it back

I'm thinking:

Microsoft have partnered with Epic for the new IP.

Announced at Microsofts E3 2014 conference.

Late 2015 release.

Edit. I do think Samariton and Infiltrator are indicative of what Epic are upto.

Has a tech demo EVER turned into a real game? FFVII R, Super Mario 128, Samaritan etc... I don't see why people get excited for them when there's seemingly no history of them coming to fruition.

All those people begging for tech demos to become full games (see Quantic Dream threads) lack imagination. Wouldn't you rather have something that hasn't already been done?

Why is this only the first time I've seen this (I've heard of the project before, but hadn't seen any footage yet). Goddamn, that looks amazing! Is that...in engine?

No but they will come close to it since The Witcher 2 looked ridiculously good for its time

Mario 128 ended up being pikmin and FFVII R really was an early pass at Before Crisis' end sequence, so in a sense they did.

Gears of War was basically the Unreal Engine 3 tech demo.

But on this note, I thought Samaritan was one of the most generic shoot-shit-till-it-dies looking games in a while. An impressive showcase of tech, no doubt, but I wasn't exactly itching to play it.

Have you seen Crysis ?

UE3 demos were Gears-based most of the time (I remember the one about UE3.5 before Gears 2 with the meat ball).
But yeah this is not the same kind of tech demos.

Gears of War...

They used the locust and some environment to showcase UE3 back in the day. Shit was bananas.
