Cool can't wait to see what U E 4 can do and if my pc can run it at full spec.

 

[pa22word]

Some of us loved the first gears of war multiplayer. I made a ton of friends on it and played it for years. The game was so these with the close quarters shotty battles.

Yeah, but after this was the Gears 2 multi for the first few months after launch I was pretty much done with the series multi tbqh. I remember renewing my XBL the day I purchased Gears 2 back in 08...geez, what a colossal fuck up that was for me .___.

 

[subversus]

If it isnt browser based then it will almost certainly use GFWL. I'm done with that hassle.

it's not a console port so they won't use GFWL.

Spoiler

I hope

 

[-PXG-]

I knew it was a crap shoot, but at the panel, I asked if there were any plans for Samaritan...I got an explicit no, not some coy, ambiguous, bullshit answer. Basically a flat out no...

 

[Massa]

Isn't GFWL dead?

 

[luka]

what's the catch?

 

[subversus]

(((((((

 

[Nibel]

Okay this could be pretty huge.

I'm suprised in a positive way - very epic!

 

[Htown]

Don't get excited.

This is not going to be what you want it to be.

UT F2P

 

[Sentenza]

Isn't GFWL dead?

Terminally ill and desperately in need of euthanasia, but few cruel companies keep prolonging its life artificially instead of giving it some merciful rest.

 

[Teknoman]

Forget Unreal Tournament, I need Unreal III.

 

[subversus]

I think I know what nobody expects.

a ZZT sequel. A REBOOT.

 

[Deleted member 10571]

love QuakeLive, love TF2, can't wait for another F2P shooter UT always was a nice alternative to Q3A, so I'm in.

 

[specialguy]

It's almost surely F2P or something like that.

 

[NaM]

Forget Unreal Tournament, I need Unreal III.

Unreal 1 remake first, I don't trust epic to do something new and it to be a good product.

all their games are good products no matter how you spin it.

 

[iceatcs]

Is gonna be a f2p porn fighting game for Brazzers.

True.
Maybe cos it's so Cliff's way.

 

[Stitch]

what happened to that Fortnite game? maybe that's PC exclusive..

 

[To Far Away Times]

A new game that resurrects the skill based FPS and stops the current trend of way too similar military FPS games would be so... unreal.

 

[Diablohead]

F2P 3rd person unreal style game on pc believe

 

[rezuth]

I can see this being a free to play unreal tournament.

 

[Tellaerin]

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.

I'd be more than good with this. I loved UC.

Oh fuck yes. And make it F2P. All the amazing 2012 multiplayer games are F2P: Tribes Ascend, Firefall, Mechwarrior Online, and Hawken. What a GREAT year for multiplayer gaming.

No.

Dammit, no.

F2P is almost guaranteed to mean no user-made content. That model relies on DLC and microtransactions for revenue.

Go look at all the awesome mods, maps, custom models and other content that have been made for the UT games over the years by the community, which can be downloaded at no charge.

Now imagine a new game with none of that - a game that's actively designed to discourage custom content, because mappers and modelers giving away things for free would cut into the revenues from DLC that they're counting on to turn a profit.

Seriously, people, stop and think about what you're asking for here.

If they do release a new PC game, I want a classic Epic-style retail package. No F2P nonsense, just the game and whatever mapping and modeling tools you need to make custom content (a la UT2k4) for a reasonable price. Save the 'alternative revenue streams' for the console games, please.

 

[Tellaerin]

If its F2P Valve-style, it can have user made content. Encourage it, even.

This is true. I'll try to be optimistic if it does turn out to be an F2P title. Unfortunately, I know that not a lot of companies approach the market the way Valve does, so it's tough to stay positive. :s

 

[Spectacular Dr Dawg]

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

That would be great.

It will probably be a facebook game or f2p mp only gears of war.

 

[Haunted]

Unreal Tournament in-browser game with Facebook and Twitter integration, calling it now.


They've got their A-teams working on core games for UE4 multiplats (and maybe a Durango exclusive).

 

[Lettuce]

Just a sigle player Unreal game out do me

 

[TouchMyBox]

If it isnt browser based then it will almost certainly use GFWL. I'm done with that hassle.

Why is this? They're not obligated to perform fellacio to microsoft at this point.

F2P UT would be pretty rad so long as it's super-solid and their main focus is to position it as being a member of the forefront of the e-sports community and including features which make that possible (see: what valve is doing with CS:GO and Dota 2)

 

[JCtheMC]

Don't get excited.

This is not going to be what you want it to be.

It sure as shit isn't Samaritan. Come on dudes. Announce that already.

 

[Brewster's Wallet]

This thread has made me load up UT2K4. That's how I'm spending Easter MOnday

 

[SappYoda]

Unreal like single player + UT like multiplayer

Go Epic

 

[Mr_eX]

I remember reading something about Epic making a free to play game, makes sense that it's a PC exclusive.

 

[dankir]

Bulletstorm 2?

WHERE'S MAH SEQUEL!

 

[Satoho]

I believe they noticed Starcraft 2's value and realise that there in fact is a market in PC-only multiplayer these days

 

[likedamaster]

No UT, new IP please. I want a new game to dethrone game of the forever Half-Life 2. Do it Epic.

 

[StoppedInTracks]

Any chance this WON'T be F2P Unreal or some shitty social Facebook game?

 

[BigTnaples]

Hoping this is some sort of warning shot to Sony and MS.

They make an amazing graphical showcase of UE4 on PC, blowing away everthing we have seen this gen by a mile.

Console gamers see it, want it, Sony and MS build consoles that are not dated right out of the gate, and PC gamers get to upgrade their hardware for the first time in a while.

Win win win.


But yeah, it will probably end up being a f2p UT or something....

 

[Koroviev]

Maybe they'll finally get the graphics angst out of their system.

 

[Aesthet1c]

If they do end up doing some kind of F2P UT, I really hope it's a new UT game, and not just UT99 in a web browser.

I think there is a lot of potential for a new arena shooter, with awesome stat tracking and solid match making in the F2P market. They could just charge for cosmetic upgrades or new skins.

 

[smuldegspaj]

wouldnt it be stupid to market/announce it like this as a pc exclusuive.

and then release a crappy f2p. I think that would just piss off a lot of pc enthusiasts.

Anyway. Almost a given the focus will be mp. So an ue4-tech oriented unreal tournament does not sound to far out. imho ofcourse.

 

[Guri]

If this uses Unreal Engine 4, it will be interesting. Epic in this generation was made by Gears back in 2006, because it surprised many people. If the same happens on PC, I'd like to see what would be their focus next-gen.

 

[Hari Seldon]

Space Sim! The genre is going to make a comeback!

 

[Diprosalic]

Epic Pinball 2

 

[bgassassin]

Interesting

The only loser is Epic, throwing away millions and millions of dollars.

 

[Onemic]

They'll probably make another heavily under marketed UT game and then blame the low sales on an uninterested PC fanbase and piracy, just like UT3.

 

[smuldegspaj]

an graphically intensive arena fps does not cost that much.

 

[Blizzard]

Is there really a market for arena shooters now? I play TF2 if I want shooty action these days. I might try Tribes if I want something else, and otherwise I'm not really interested in fast-paced shooty action.

Id love one.. There really is just nothing along the lines of UT on the market these days. Tribes is fun but its more about sledding in huge maps where as UT was more close combat double jumping everywhere .

If it's as good as UT99, yes.
