inb4 Unreal Tournament

 

Its been quite a while since anything from Fortnite has been revealed or even talked about, with the last major dosage of footage hailing from their Comic-Con panel last year. Epic Games has kept the game largely under wraps, but are quite confident that Fortnite will be a legendary title when it does eventually release. The studio says theyll begin to roll-out footage of the game at their own pace.

 

Footage from Fortnite was set to be used during a demonstration for the Unreal Engine 4, but executives within Epic Games decided to pull the content out entirely just three weeks before it was to be shown at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco last week. As explained by Epic Games Vice President Mark Rein, the only reason they pulled it out was because they didnt want to tease audiences with such a tiny taste of the game:

All of the Unreal demos we were going to do [at GDC] were all going to use Fortnite content. You saw in the tools demos the rooms, the globes, the animations that was all created after I said, Fortnite is too good to ruin in this demo. And by ruin I meant showing people a little, tiny bit of it a little streak of world.

Didn't they make Duty Calls or at least helped with that? Now that was a damn good game!

Gears of War 3 was awesome. UT2k4 is definitely their best work.

Sometimes it can show confidence if they're especially happy with a game. Its like when Eidos came out and said the first Batman game was one of the best things they've ever done. They weren't wrong.

I can't wait for this game. It looks so good. I saw some leak gameplay footage a few months back. Day one buy. Does anyone know if it has co-op?

I don't think the game looks like a game that'll be so good people will not only remember it nearly 14 years later, but also still be playing it.

It looks fun, but really just doesn't seem like a "must-have" co-op game.

firstly, PR bs. Obviously they wont say "its very good, but not as good as UT and gears" Secondly, ut2k4 is probably their best game.

As was the original Gears. But yeah, UT2K4 is legendary.

Good reason. Releasing news on a new game then going a long time showing nothing would hurt the game IMO

Is it even worth posting dev comments like this? What are they going to say - That their new game isn't very good? I doubt it...
