Epic President Hints Something "Exciting" at E3

[dmase]

When i read the title of the thread my first thought was president Obama is going to E3?.... blond moment what can i say

Nothing for the PS3 I bet.

I would love to see Gears 3 go head to head with Halo Reach

I hope it begins with D and has lots of pink, but I'm biased.

[EDIT]
Damnit, I want some new IP!!!!

 

[Spiner909]

Hah, fools, it's going to be Gears of War the comic book.

Unreal 3, DAMN YOU.
Although i love Gears of War i'm not really in a hurry for a new game.

When the title mentioned "Epic President" I thought it meant Epic as in the Adjective and President as in Obama.

So that was weird.

Whatever it isn't it's not coming out this side of 2010, no way is it going to go head to head with Halo Reach... unless this is Epics own publishing (not microsoft) and it will be a fully multiplatform release on PS3, 360 and PC. This development cycle would make sense, Gears of War 2 came 2 years after GeOW1, it's coming up on 2 years since GeOW2, we saw the first teasers of Gears 2 in around June/July which is when E3 is.

is epic small?, i thought like 70% of all games used their engine, any who im hoping for another unreal tournament despite them saying they wanted to put unreal tournament on the back burner.

Sorta concur.
Was UT 2007 (Or UT3 or whatever) any good?
I played a lot of UT99 back in '07, and I heard quite a lot of good stuff about UT04.
So I'm curious.

How to make a blockbuster Game 101.
1. Don't try anything to new.
2. Make the story Simple.....EXTREMELY simple to follow.
3. Focus On multi player more then anything.
4. Hype the SHIT out of it.
5. Pay off gamespot and a few other sites for good reviews.
6. Pray to Satan and sell your eternal soul.

Thats it. Follow these 6 easy tips and you will have a multi million hit on your hands.

Spoiler: My list of games that meet this Criteria

Halo 2 and up, CoD 2-6 and soon to be 7, Gears, Final Fantasy....even though i still like them, UT.....I love em but they are all the same lol, Splinter Cell. and so on and so forth.

I am seriously tired of that happening...
And yet it still does.
Although UT never really had anything even BARELY resembling a plot did it?
I think Unreal might, but UT was always just a tournament where you kill people right?

I'd laugh if it was Unreal Championship 3! XD

Then again, the whole thing could be a red herring, and we actually get a new IP.

But its most likely going to be Gears of War 3.

Hmmm, maybe an updated remake/relaunch of "Solar Winds".

That would be AWESOME.

I'm going to guess "Giant Robot Hears the Poor".

Not hardly. There are thousands of game engines out there; Epic's Unreal Engines have only really caught on here the past few iterations with UE2.5 and UE3. Far more games are built from id's IdTech engines than anything else, really. All the Call of Duty on PC are built using proprietary modifications to IdTech 3, the Quake 3 Engine, in fact.

Actualy, that's not exactly right.

iD tech 4 was a huge flop. Only few third party developers decided to use it, it's biggest competitor at that time (UE 2 and i guess 2.5) had a lot more games made with it, not to mention that it was also used for some training programs, simulations and stuff like that.

Earlier iterations of id tech were pretty succesful compared to Unreal Engine, but nowadays Epic kicks id Tech into dust.

Here is list of UE games, though with quick googling I didn't manage to find proper list of id Tech games.

I'd be all over that.

What'd be really great is if he just found out that they have a really great salad bar or something like that.

Another Unreal Tournament please? The third one wasn't so good, but if they were to make it more like Unreal Tournament 2004, that would make me so happy.
