Epic Games Has A PC-Exclusive In The Works

Get this - Epic Games is working on a PC-exclusive. This teaser was released by Cliff Bleszinski and Mike Capps of Epic Games, at PAX East. "We might be working on a PC-only title," said Bleszinski. "Let me say that again: we are working on a PC game," Capps added. Capps told Joystiq that the project is currently underway, and that Epic Games intends to keep it PC-exclusive. This fits into the scheme of recent developments at Epic Games. Epic unveiled its latest Unreal Engine 4, with demos that made the most bleeding-edge PC hardware sweat, and so it is only apt that the first game will serve as a technology demonstrator, and will probably offer jaw-dropping visuals that make use of the resources today's gaming PCs can expend.

Unreal Tournament 4? Everyone on consoles is too busy gawking at Call of Duty, Halo, and/or Gears of War to have time for UT4. The fans of UT have always been on PC and that is the title they usually use as a tech demo for their engine. It would also allow them to release Unreal Engine 4 before the next-gen consoles are out which gets the sales going for the engine.

If not UT4, it's probably a brand new title.

Come again?


I think this is pretty epic news. Finally a dev house has the balls to cater to PC gamers that have been requesting better games than the shitty console port we've been getting for years.
I hope this will be the Quake 3 of this century.

Can't wait for them to release this then blame piracy for lack of sales (You know, like they did with gears when they ported it to PC)

I still have high hopes though, love Epic, Jazz Jack Rabbit rocked

Epic releasing a PC game...

The ass raping PC gamers will take with DLC content will be EPIC if nothing else, given what a huge utter cock Cliff Bleszinski has become.

I don't think Epic is worried about sales

Another generic shooter with chest high walls everywhere, weapons on full auto and a single melee attack for enemies that get close. Sounds familiar?

How about a new Unreal game? The first 2 were quite good! Cannot wait for the 3rd one!

I wish they would make ports of Gears of War 2 and 3 for PC, as I loved the first one. Yes, I bought Gears of War one on PC and loved it. Sadly I suffered through 2 on a 360 and the game look so terrible lol. To bad they wont heck Bulletstorm looked so good on the PC it was was if it were a different game compared to the console counter part.

A PC-only game? At this point I think very few people would have thought that would happen.

I certainly didn't see this coming from Epic after they said they would only create new engines when consoles jump to a new generation.

Indeed, though in many senses Crysis failed to do that - Crysis 2 is worse looking imo.
