Fortnite looks cool, like some sort of third person tower defense game. I could be wrong about that. lol, but I want a AAA blow me away type game from Epic. I cannot wait until Saturday at 7pm est. If it is Rocket, then I hope Rocket is impressive.

Glad I'm not the only one who hasn't forgotten about Fortnite. I find it strange that they're hyping another game announcement when we haven't seen anything about their last announcement since it was announced in the first place.

wouldnt TPS be more fitting?

Heartnet...you know Epic made games before Gears right. Their whole popularity is from Unreal Tournament. That's if your older than 12.

I'm all for games reaching out to as many people as possible but for now XBOX really need to draw people in. If the pre-order charts are to be believed MS has to do everything in order to balance the pre-orders...This game might just be what brings MS back in the game...

We are still knee deep in this gen. Don't worry about MS catching up for next gen. As Sony have proved, if you provide the studios and the games people will come.

If Microsoft can actually make good on their promise and spend time, money & energy on studios we should see some great franchises in 2-3 years time.

If they do that, and make a XB1 slim I may actually get one. Its all about the games..

thats wrong dude...epics mark rein has stated several times that gears is what it is cause of the support they got from ms, he stated also the game would never be if not for ms....just google "mark rein on gears of war xbox 360 exclusivity"....its also hinted that the recent gears of war is the start of a new triology.

They say this due to money they got from Microsoft that they label as support.

I never said they were planning on bringing Gears to other platforms. I said they have made other games for PS/XB/PC as an example that is all.

Dude epic made Unreal engine obv and hundreds of games use that...

UNreal is for all consoles and has been since ever xD Hell DCUO uses unreal as well as many others..

U dont port an engine to the console :( lack of knowledge

Yeh which would lead to a good relationship -_- hell give me a Mil and ill be ur best friend :D

Severely ??? XD lol to funny you get severely underpowered from 40% less powerful than the ps4

I don't remember but I know it was based on the unreal engine. I waited AGES for that to come out :(

yeah i don't know what happened to it exactly...Some rumors said the developer was absorbed by SOE...who made the F2P Planetside 2...which also has a good bit of a similarity to the Huxley tech demo thing (halo'ish gameplay, but with mmorpg like persistence and player counts)...

not sure though...I actually forgot all about that game until i saw your post haha...

Ah yes Webzen. That's the one! It looked like it had so much potential. A MMO FPS with twitch arena style gameplay in the vein of unreal tournament. Oh well....I guess it was never meant to be :'(

Nor was it ever a widely used or considered, game engine, Renderware was. It was and still is a physics/material simulation plugin for the actual game engines.

Yeah you're right i was thinking of Renderware. But point still stands Renderware was used literally everywhere from games like GTA 3,VC,SA to Sonic games and Tony hawk it was really the default industry wide engine that UE is today.

If Disney takes over Epic and UE we could face a situation where they change the terms of use for other game devs big and small. They could remove the licensing agreements currently in place and impose a payment per download model like Unity did which could cripple the industry.
