Seems like UT4 is not coming for a long time

[NovaZzZ]

"During a panel at San Diego Comic-Con today, Epic Games' Cliff Bleszinksi confirmed that Fortnite will be the first game to utilize Unreal Engine 4. According to Bleszinksi, the game will also be a PC exclusive."

Fortnite will be the first UE4 game, and also the PC exclusive Epic is working on. Epic Games seems to worry more about indy games than their true games that made them who they were.

I agree, UT is the best game by Epic, and I don't know why it won't be the first UE4 game.
UT2k4 was a game u could play the whole day.
Today there is no game like this.
Epic can change this, I really miss the time.
It was the only game I had, and that was enough. Today I would need 10 games to play the whole time.

[Bubbaxm2]

Regardless of whether or not UT4 is the first game to utilize UE4, at least they are making something that is PC only. I personaly will be buying it just to support that fact alone. I am tired of ****ty console ports..

[Wizd3m]

"PC Only" these days only seems to mean that the PC version will come first. I'm willing to bet that the console versions are also in development. Chances are the game will be announced for multiple platforms before the PC version even hits store shelves. As for Fortnite being the first UE4 game, I think they are simply trying to show how versatile their engine is. Makes sense I guess. Releasing a truly next gen PC title like UT4 this soon in the life of UE4 might mean that many won't be able to run the game so it might not bring in as much cash. It's certainly sad for UT fans though.

Zombies? How clever and original.

what is ?

if UT4 were a horse, i'd ride it off into the sunset

[jomi294]

Saw the trailer, it looks pretty interesting. Seems like something I'd play with friends a ton.

"Epic Games seems to worry more about indy games than their true games that made them who they were."
Seems a bit harsh to try to put down Epic for investing on a new IP. Besides, you said it yourself, who they "were". 10 years ago. Time to move on.

[Sly.]

As long as the gameplay of Fortnite will be polished I'm fine with that and I see it as jomi. Who cares if the concept is not "that great"? From the first trailer one can tell that you are going to destroy stuff in the city like buildings and use the remainings to build a fort. Something among the lines of urban mining but more aggressive and not just with cables and metal.

I can wait a bit longer as long as something polished and smooth running will come in the end. I mean, cmon! UE4, we will probably need new PCs to get even Fortnite running properly, so how would you want to play UT4? I wouldn't expect big sales because it would be just as with UT3, PCs that can barely run it and people who either don't have the money to invest into a new PC or are too greedy.

[Slowman]

Well folks, it makes sense! Fortnite will a UE4 first experiment on the new engine, since it will be cartoon like, I expect it will run fine on any quadcore cpu, cause it will most likelly have low poly detail and low graphic detail also, sorte of like "Bugs bunny lost in time" pc game! but obviasely much better done, of corse, expect also for other cartoon games to follow with UE4, from Walt Disney, looney tunes, etc etc etc...
...And a more intelligent approach on game play styles!!! In other words "intelligent games" with more complex know-how interaction!!!
Of corse it will be at start a "learn how to" play and as you progress I belive it will get more and more chalenging...
...Think of it as "evolutionary games"!!!
Soo, UT4 beeing a game that will hardly fit in this game description...
...Will most likely not be here soon!!! too bad folks!...
...One last hope is that, I do personly hope there will be an UE4 editor somewere in the games!!!

[Bl!tz~]

dont we deserve a lil UT?....+.+....after all thoses yearz?

[geronaho]

I was playing UT4 yesterday. Server was full for Floodgate was a gg except some neferho kept killing me :+)

[Lillien]

Disappointing! It looks like a game that would be fun to play for a little while. However, it is a shame that there is still not a good arena shooter out there... Nor is there one planned.

I'm pinning my hopes on Planetside 2 to keep my FPS fairs fulfilled. I just hope it "feels" good. Most games fail miserably at that.

Ps I think the reason that it is pc only is because the Xbox and ps will not be capable of playing it. I expect that the game world will be completely modifiable.

[Slowman]

As I see it, UT4 with UE4 as your used to it with UT3 with UE3 in 2007 was superb in graphics to look at, and if you had a decent computer at the time, it run well...
the same criteria aplayed to UT4 in UE4, well, most likelly you dont have "CPU + GPU" power in present computers...
...Soo i guess we will have to wait some time longer...
...Look at it this way, its better to have an UE4 tunned and tested with current "quadcores" PCs, and after when you got "16cores" CPUs mainstream it will be easyer to do some "jaw dropping" UT4 game!!!

[Shoot_You_Down]

At this point it would be optimistic to think there will even be a UT release for UE4. Ironic considering its the UNREAL engine. However on a positive note, at least we know it isn't going to be released solely as an eye candy project.

[Sly.]

Yeah, but the first game on UE3 by Epic Games was... that's right: Gears of War.
And still, a UT game followed.

[UTPlayer529th]

I think it's a message to Microsoft and Sony. AFAIK they both are not listening to Tim Sweney about putting better hardware in the XBOX 720 & the new PS4 hence the PC title only. I bet a UT4 will follow.

[VACkillers]

This was shown before i believe, possible at last years E3, i dunno where i've seen it exactly but that trailer is not new hence why it doesn't look next gen or that impressive visually, and personally disapointed, this is definitely not the type of game you really want as a launch tittle that'll be the first game showcasing the breath taking UE4. Wrong choice completely in my opinion, but cliffy b has turned to almost solely console now so for him to mention this via twitter as a pc exclusive and then changed his mind saying this is to be a PC first, without excluding other platforms was typical and a bit of a joke really, (hmmm i wonder how many other developers n publishes have pulled that one before? BF3 anyone?) Im more then sure UT4 will follow this game at some point, but to have this as the launch tittle, where you can barely show off ALL the tech in cartoon universe is a bit insane really, the game itself i believe was a fun packed game and looked like it was made for a game controller (ie for the 360) when i last saw it.

All i can say is im supprised its this, and not more of a major gaming tittle in the form of bulletstorm/ UT4 / or gears of war.

Samaritan too! I would like to see that one hit the shelves.

[Infra`]

I have a feeling this game was originally developed for the Wii and PC but then once it was determined that the Wii couldn't handle UE4 Epic announced it was a PC exclusive... just a thought.

[DannyMeister]

I'm willing to wait for the next UT. It will more than likely be nothing but beneficial for UT if the teams get a few UE4 games under their belt before starting on it. This is all speculation for those of us who know nothing about what's going within Epic, anyways.

As far as fortnight goes, I think it's a great idea to start out with a game like this. How many times did you hear complaints that all UE3 games look and play the same? Ridiculous, I know. It is worth trying to demonstrate some versatility within your own studio with your own engine. It's also a good idea because it will generate a lot more revenue at this point in time than any type of arena shooter game. Maybe in a few years more people will be looking for something other than YAMS (yet another military shooter) and the time will be ripe for UT, and Epic can invest all their middleware and Fortnight dollars.

Of course, if they announced soon that the Big Huge Games developers were working on a UT game to be released in 2013/2014 I'd be wildly ecstatic! http://www.beyondunreal.com/view_story.php?id=13613

[Parkis G]

I can wait for the next UT a little while, I'm in no hurray.
I kinda wish they would really develop a great story and come out with an Unreal single player game.
It might be asking for too much to have a Multiplayer along with it, especially if it takes away from the whole UT multiplayer in maybe it should be a stand alone release.

I thought of this because other games have come out with a single player with multiplayer along with it, but their multiplayer sucks.
In case Half Life2, or Doom 3.
I guess I'm still comparing games of a different era, but Doom 3 and Half Life 2 are 2 of my top games of all time that I've played.

[IKILLPAIN]

Yeah the trailer was... EPIC

[s7urm]

Willing to wait for UT4 as well. It has been quite a while, but as seen - they have been developing new tech. This means that this is the basis for all the things to come now and the market is changing, a the console/PC tech gap has increased tremendously since UT3 and this has to be taken into consideration. It's good to have 3-4 games come out on UE4 so performance issues and bugs are all cleared, so the devs feel more comfortable in creating a game that all of us will 100% scrutinize down to the last letter of code/pixel. To be fair, non-EPIC UE3 games got good around the second part of the engine's life-cycle, even Borderlands had some issues. Fortnite will be kewl, just a little chill-out cartoony title. Something to entertain until the SRS things come out and I am actually going to play the new Gears, since I am a fan of that as well, so there should be plenty of EPICNESS for me in 2013. In fact, I don't even care for UT4 in 2013 if the UT3 scene remains the same for one more year.

TL;DR version - It's better to wait for good things than to rush games. I hope nobody is breathing down on EPIC's neck for the next UT game like ACTI -> Infinity Ward / Treyarch do for CoD.

As far as features I'd like:

SP: Tournament. That is all.
MP: Variety, dynamic and fluid movement system, GoW3.. I mean UT3's system you kind of feel like a bag of meat. All the good stuff.

[Sourpuss]

If there ever will be a UT4, I'm definitely not going to hold my breath while we wait for it because that could be a very very long time.

[Nawrot]

Solid multiplayer, Editor and moddig, solid singleplayer. Else it will end like Bulletstorm, was good game, but lacked that sutff and died quickly.

[Lygophilia]

It's fine, if they are thinking about making one. Perhaps I'm in the minority when I say this, but I don't wish for it to be more of the same. They should take their time developing it for both the PC and next generation consoles, so they can keep up with the new engine.

[Sourpuss]

I'd like to see more of the same game play from the tried-and-true UT99 (by far the most successful UT). However--I'd like to see it surrounded by a modern, non-consolized user interface and server browser. It wouldn't be more of the same old thing--it would be the good aspects of the old thing with the addition of the newer game types (Onslaught, Bombing Run, Invasion, Greed) surrounded by a stellar user interface and server browser.

[dinwitty]

I may buy Fortnite, it would be a good tester to check your system when they finally get the next big game out... <BLATENT UNREAL 3 SUGGESTION >

Fort building was done in Giants: Citizen Kabuto...very funny game. Giants had multi-player but I think UT kinda overwhelmed it.

[d3tox]

It's really simple. If they won't make the game you want, don't support them. Money makes the world go round...

[Sourpuss]

...and coincidentally...a great many UT99 and UT 2004 fans are longer supporting them; fancy that.

[Henrik]

Honestly a game in the UT series is the only thing I would consider paying for from them unless another new title hit just the right note with me. I'm too old to go playing every new game that comes along, but this series actually means something to me. I suspect I'm not alone in that either.

You're so not alone on that on that note dude... I'm old but not too old you could say, but i hear ya when you say this series really means something to you, it does to me, I did like bulletstorm, the wife played more then I did, but really dislike gears of war, really dont see the gameplay that much fun at all, shoot cover, shoot cover then melee, boring as hell... another UT game is really only thing i would actually spend real $$ on to be honest...

[VACkillers]

forums not working right for me, it double posted after some seriously heavy lag.. sorry

[Icicle X]

a UT4 would be brilliant but it wont be out for a longg time a few years maybe. a remake of a unreal championship would be good tho, for the time being.
