[M]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cY6ae0nZ_ws[/M]

Notable mentions in the video include:

Unreal Championship 2 (In general).

Fortnite (In general).

Whether or not Epic can and wants to return to the Unreal franchise.

Whether they will do anything more with GoW in the foreseeable future.

Advice for aspiring game devs.

So, all in all, a lot of good stuff if you haven't seen it yet.

GoW is a tactical shooter?

 

[UBerserker]

For Horde 2.0.
Thanks for the video anyway

Cliff Bleszinski and Mike Capps answer a variety of questions at PAX '12. Topics include revisiting the Unreal universe, the possibilities of a Bulletstorm sequel, and developing Fortnite; a few things about Gears as well.

There were a couple of interesting things I noticed while watching. First, despite openly talking about Fortnite, which is being developed for the PC, they still teased that they are working on a PC title (implying something unannounced). Second, during a conversation about what PC gamers don't like, was the nice jab from Cliff towards Mike that they also don't appreciate games that they get six months later than everyone else. Gears anyone?

Anyhoo... the video (thanks Arnox)

screw all the people that call "the same game with a prettier veneer" an x.5 game.

UC2 HD for PC, imo.

Its early for me...
Are you suggesting that they are making a new version of UC2 for the PC

toward the end the big guy at the back asked about returning to the Unreal series and it's hard to gauge whether they were trying to hide something in their response or not but at least on the face of it they were like "gee we'd love to but".. at this point i am not bothering looking forward to anything til they flat out announce it is Unreal related (and even then, until I see proof that it is actually good). long way to go.

 

[TheSpoonDog]

Sounded pretty clearly like there was nothing Unreal happening right now tbh.

if this is finally true i will buy for sure great game tho!

 

[StalwartUK]

UC2? Bit late don't you think? Then again I might be interested so long as they don't mess it up with DRM.

 

[Bersy]

Why would they do UC2 of all things? It was just a random question.

 

[TheSpoonDog]

Don't think anyone suggested they are doing / would do something like UC2... just some people hoping
