Unreal Engine 4 To Be Fully Revealed At E3

During a AMAA (Ask Me Anything About) Session by Geoff Keighley in which the topic was E3, he let slip on what would be happening with Unreal Engine 4 at E3.

[Cyb3r]

Now I know what Geoff Keighley meant when he said next generation gaming is coming to E3 2012 he was talking about the Unreal Engine 4 reveal.

[xtremexx]

lol, i bet everyone else is annoyed.

[Hisiru]

Is it confirmation that UE4 support is coming for the WiiU or a new console (PS4 or x720) is coming early than we thought?

I believe they said they would talk about platforms in the official announcement.

[xtremexx]

they would probably avoid announcing anything related to next gen, probably heavily pc oriented. maybe even this gen especially if there wont be any next gen announcement til next year.

[Hisiru]

@xtremexx
Makes sense and I think they did the same with UE3.

[user4847013]

Geoff Keighley is known to overhype everything right before a major event. He is always exaggerating. He and Molyneux could be a great couple.

That said, UE4? I dont like Unreal Engines, Sony should license its Uncharted engine to everybody.

[Machioto]

I want to see a naughty dog version of the Samaritan demo titled the villain And it shows what could be accomplished with their engine,the theme would be uncharted inspired.

@super Could be,I see no reason to show of a new game engine unless it was going to be in an up coming game.

[LightofDarkness]

I'm pretty sure UE3/4 is far more flexible than the Uncharted engine. Uncharted is a very linear, story driven experience with limited interactivity; whereas UE3 has been leveraged to develop everything from FPS games and action games to racers and MMOs. Heck, it's even scalable enough to run on an iPhone 3G with impressive results. I'm not saying ND aren't capable of making an engine like that, I'm saying they simply don't have one right now.

[Machioto]

@light of course you would know because you took part in creating the naughty dog engine./s

@sjaak why not, Sony is a large company,if they wanted to license out one of their in house engine then what's stopping from doing so? they also have the phyreengine that's high level cross platform game engine.

[sjaakiejj]

It's unlikely Naughty Dog's engine is suitable for external use. Even disregarding that, Naughty Dog can't sustain a support department for it.

[SuperLupe]

This pretty much means the Xbox 720 at E3. No way Epic is showing it off on PS4 and they would want to blow our minds with it so no Wii U either

[Hisiru]

Well, to be fair, we know NOTHING about the WiiU's true power let alone the x720's power. A legit source (gearbox) said the WiiU is much more powerful than current gen consoles. So yeah, we can't assume anything yet about the power of this system.

A WiiU reveal would blow my mind away because it's something that don't expect, it would be a huge surprise for a lot of people.

[torchic]

this means nothing for new consoles. they're going to run it on a PC, maybe Wii U. trust me if Microsoft were indeed planning an E3 showcase of a new console, it would have leaked by now, and I mean proper leaks of info from reputable websites and sources.

also, Square Enix have been showing off tiny bits of their next generation engine, Luminous, for a while. did we see new consoles arrive too? nope.

next generation begins in 2013.

[cstyle]

Running on the next xbox of course.

[glennco]

PC

[MrWonderful]

I may be wrong but didn't they say they wouldn't show it until the next gen consoles could run it?

[NYC_Gamer]

It's just gonna be another tech demo with more features

[tokugawa]

that should be enough for n4g then... coz this site exploded with praise when quantic dreams showed their tech demo not so long ago..

[vortis]

The only problem is that it's not all that next-gen looking.

I've been looking at some other engines and they seem to look a lot better than what we've seen of the UE4.

I hope I'm wrong but if the next-gen consoles are running games the way that UE4 demo looks that's not that impressive. Actually, The Samaritan was more impressive...but that's just me.

[Fishy Fingers]

What we've seen of UE4?

We've seen nothing of UE4.

[vortis]

@Fishy Fingers

we've seen the screenshots from Wired. And they didn't look anywhere near as impressive as the screenshots from The Samaritan, again that's just my opinion.

We'll see when the real-time demo approaches if it looks more or less impressive than The Samaritan.

[Harelgur]

Thats what im looking for most in E3 2012.
(now that Irrational canceled their attendance)

[ThatEnglishDude]

I hope you like Unreal Engine 4 because like the one before it, expect way too many games to use it!

[GamingPerson]

if it's not ob wii or 720 or ps4 then gtx 680 will stunn u..

[Fyflin]

At this will give us an idea of what the games will look like at at next years E3.

[spirited]

this will too get raped by overuse by developers. i have no idea what i just said .. lol

[xtreampro]

What's wrong with devs using a third party engine? It's cheap and anyone can use it. You need to wake up and realise that not everyone can afford to spend millions in making an engine.

If you were to open up a new studio right now UE3 would probably be the engine you choose to make your fist game.

Hawken runs on UE3 yet it's probably one of the best looking PC games.

[NastyLeftHook0]

im seeing next gen coming very very soon...

[theeg]

please, please, PLEASE say ps4 and nextbox are out this year, i hate 720p or less, hate jaggies, hate screen tearing

yes of course i can play on pc in glorious 1080p at 60 frames with 16x anti aliasing, but, games like dragons dogma, gears 3, uncharted 3, killzone 3, god of war ect....ect.... all look last gen but are great games

i want uncharted 4, god of war 4, gears 4 in real hd and not looking like an 8 year old game

[jontaylor]

I'm stoked hopefully Wii U will support the tech. Im crossing my fingers, ha ha.
