EPIC :) get it, any ways this is rad news the more UR4 games we see the better. Looks like our DX11 cards are really going to be important and drive all the new software.
I want to see a gameplay vids big time. The insane thing that video above could actually be all in game engine after seeing the UR4 vids.-
I'm really excited to see what a PC exclusive game by epic will look like. It's been so long since they made one
-
No kidding they are going to be total strangers to the PC if won't even know their name that's for sure.
Has potential to be as good as the samaritan Demo if not better. I would love it if after they make the game and sales are rad and the game is mega quality that they do a lot of comments like " we have neglected the PC it has so much more penitential we are going to take advantage and there will be a lot of more titles planed ". We really could use a crazy PC exclusive that really take advantage of all the new hardware and mid range gear and really is designed for the PC architecture and really tries to go all out and is stills scalable. And one that really can not be created on any other platform.
I hope it happens. Odd it was not at E3 hey in some form?

The Epic of old that released Windows, Mac and Linux versions of UT2K4 on the same SKU, that released mod tools for all their games, that supported LAN consistently and that didn't use draconian DRM doesn't exist any more. It is long since gone. They are not a PC company. Remember us PC gamers, we are all just bunch of pirating bastards. They are ONLY doing this to showcase/sell UE4. Many companies operate on a mix of profit maximisation and other motives. Epic doesn't

Probably true :( they are probably going to try and butter up S and MS to show what their new consoles could be pimping on UR4. But on the same note if they have not already convinced S and MS then that would mean that the PS4 and Xbox2 are really coming out in 2014 not next year.
Huh who's knows what the deal is, I am sure they see the good PC sales numbers and what the market is doing they may really want a piece of the action. Having UR4 they been INSANE not to make pimp PC games I really have no idea why they are not the #1 companies on the PC as far as games since they own UR engine which everyone uses to make games practically.
Weird? Sure they are at heart a game engine company but they could really churn out the most pimp PC games they really have the resources. Must be a business decision eh who knows. -

What part of that do you take issue with?
-
-
-
-
-
It will almost certainly use GFWL or some other draconian DRM then :(
-
-
See: Gears of War PC and Bulletstorm PC.

-
isn't this supposed to look good? like a tech demo? it looks like team fortress 2. i don't like it
-
WHAAAT?! Exclusive to PC?!?!
Holy shit! -
We usually get a new UT whenever a new Unreal Engine is released :( Fortnite looks cool, though.
-
-
Yeah, I really can't see a UT sequel happening again for a really long time.
-
I was thinking a F2P model with persistent stats. Something like that.
-
-
-
-
so a tech demo. If bad: Shattered Horizon. if good: FarCry
-
It reminds me of Roboblitz, which was a decent game, but it was the first UE3 game.
-
-
More Screens holly shit it looks amazing if this is really in game and I don't doubt it UR4 can do it no prob.

Man I want UR4 in all my games if this is the visual quality we will get [mind blown]-
-
^ Hay guys, remember when I said UE4 was fucking awesome? Yeah, it's fucking awesome.
-
I don't see anything in there that looks like it couldn't be done in UE3
-
There's bounce lighting. That's not doable in UE3. It's subtle (because otherwise it looks terrible).
-
It's there, you just can't see it
-
>:(
-
When you finally see it in motion (like while you're playing it), it'll feel better. Bounce lighting is a subtlety, but it's important for things to "feel" right--even if you're not consciously aware of it.

That first shot is gorgeous

Hats: confirmed

a decade of blueballs waiting for a PC exclusive to blow our minds and this is what we get?
-
But It looks absolutely spectacular?

your not using the word spectacular right
-

-
it looks like slightly improved team fortress 2 with less taste in art. not bad, just i am disapointment
-
-
-
I think they chose the wrong art style if they're looking to show off what UE4 can do.

I am so frickin dissapointed right now. Screw you Epic Games!
Not only did I have no interest at all in this game (looks so silly) but it has cartoony graphics. I don't mind the graphics (love TF2), but I thought this was supposed to be a technologically ground breaking PC exclusive game...and now we get this crap?-
-
I know, right?

And LOL - "We wouldn't rule out the possibility of other platforms later" - http://www.joystiq.com/2012/07/12/bleszinski-fortnite-on-pc-primary-and-first-other-platforms/
Why am I not surpised?-
Why shouldn't they, though? It'd be ridiculous to put it ONLY on PC. If the game is good and it's successful, put it on consoles. Yeesh.

Hence "wouldnt rule out the possibility". Like at some later date
-
-
-
Why shouldn't they...(:p) I mean, I don't mind if they release it on consoles. It's just that they are being deceiving by saying it'll be PC exclusive with a PC focus when they truly don't actually intend for it to be PC exclusive. Reminds me of Far Cry 2 when Ubisoft initially stated that it'll be a PC exclusive game.

Giant, Nick-Breckon-esque sigh on this, for these reasons:
- It has the potential to Brink itself, to drown the game in customizable items that ultimately coalesce into a meaningless mishmash. To avoid this, they must focus on item balance, but then the microtransaction potential threatens to disturb the balance even further, if they decide to cross that line. When asked if the game was going to be free-to-play, Tanya Jessen said to Joystiq, "We're actually not talking about that right now; we're going to figure it out, and we're going to do what's best." Whatever that means.
- They're pitching this as "something for everybody", with a mix of co-op combat, tower defense, Minecraft-esque construction, and open-worldiness. They can't really expect to perfect ALL of those facets, can they? I'm really only interested in first-person combat, and there's not much chance of them nailing that, seeing how they haven't done any since UT3 (and even then, UT3 lost much of the charm that was in UT2004).
- They're pitching the ultra-colorful style as "a fresh change of pace", but it's really just the polar opposite of Gears grey with tons of bloom. I'm not digging the style; it's too goofy and self-deprecating to take seriously, and not whimsy enough to laugh along with.-
Yeah I hate it when game companies do new things. I too would like to play the exact same games for the next 5 years that I've been playing for the last 5 years.

the unpleaseable

Hey guys, guess what, you wont believe it, the Archvile isn't happy, and he has an itemized list explaining why.
-
This comment is funny. Thanks for the laugh.
-
-
-
you guys are on crack, that looks phenomenal
-
-
So now that they don't you must stick your ground so they'll go back to giving the cold shoulder?
