[QUOTE]The studio behind Gears of War, Infinity Blade and Unreal Tournament is working on a game that, at this point, appears to be exclusive to the PC. Epic Games president Mike Capps and Gears of War design director Cliff Bleszinski announced that development at PAX East today during its "Epic Games: Past, Present and Future" panel, but offered little in the way of additional details.
Epic Games has primarily focused on multiplatform console and iOS releases over the past few years, offering PC versions of titles like Bulletstorm and the original Gears of War.
Officially, the developer is currently working on Fortnite and the Unreal Engine.[/QUOTE]

I hope it's something awesome. That new tech they showed up was orgasmic. Now they need some interesting game to use it.
Watch it be horrible.

If they want to please the large amount of pc gamers, its gotta be UT4.

You will [I]never[/I] experience another UT99 or UT2004.

Which probably means it will be a free to play type game, not to say that will be bad

They said Samaritan did what it had to but you never know. Imo they would be stupid to pass up an idea like that.
I am please about this.
Completely forget you ever did UT3 and build on UT99 and UT2004 PLEASE
[editline]9th April 2012[/editline]
UT2012 PLEASE
[editline]9th April 2012[/editline]
With Skaarj, Juggernauts and vertical quakelike gameplay.

I'd buy it if it was priced fairly considering its age. GoW1 was fun in coop.

TPS aimed at PC
why
[QUOTE=Raidyr;35493574]Unreal Tournament on the Samaritan engine is what I'm guessing.[/QUOTE]
Samaritan engine is Unreal 3 engine.
I don't get it why everyone has such a boner over PC-only titles. This some kind of fucked-up revenge feeling because of console exclusives? I'd like platform to be a non-issue. We all want to play videogames.

So it is. Also Mercenary Ops looks really shitty.

Because these days, saying that a game is coming "to PC and Consoles" 99% of time means "game badly ported from console to PC".
If it's PC only it means it was developed with PC on mind, which means higher graphics standard, better optimization, better gameplay/controls choices...

PC exclusive titles aren't limited to the exceedingly aging benchmarks of consoles that were outdated the moment they hit the shelves anyway.

Also this. Most times when a game is multiplatform PC just gets the shit end of the deal.

Just because that's the common definition doesn't mean a studio can't defy it. You can still dev it for PC and port it later if you got the capabilities to do so, no need to make it exclusive just because multiplatform usually doesn't end well. If anything people should work on deconstructing that assumption, but I can understand it if porting is too expensive.
Tho from what I've heard optimizing for the seemingly endless possibilities of PC hardware combinations is much harder than optimizing for consoles, so if it's a money problem I guess they wouldn't have picked PC as their main platform.

Forgot to mention I don't have a hard-on for graphics either as long as the aesthetics are good and the faces and animations stay out of the uncanny valley. I'm not the type who plays "find the difference" between DX9 and DX11 pictures and I think I'll never understand why people do it.
I bet it's a F2P MMO FPS that plays like MW3

Usually means that levels actually have a horizontal scale as well and somewhat better controls. Avoiding the one button to rule them all syndrome which plagues a lot ports.
And the characters tend to be less hulking monstrosities (in handling not design) and are actually fairly responsive.
It's usually fairly easy to tell a port from a game designed for the pc first.
Please Dear God let it be Unreal Tournament 4.
If it is UT4, make it more like Unreal Tournament 99 or UT2004. UT3 didn't really capture any of the good things from the two games and that was most likely because it was a multi platform UT.
If its more like UT2004 that would be amazing because UT2004 had so many God damn maps, each one was brilliant, and the large amounts of game modes kept me entertained for hours.
UT3 on the other hand only lasted a single match or maybe another if i am bothered.
