Epic Games Shows Images from New IP, May be from Old Tech-Demo

Austin from Twinfinite writes: "After selling off the rights to Gears of War to Microsoft earlier this year, Epic Games has made the preparations to unleash their newest franchise on the world. Speaking at a panel at the Game Developer’s Conference (GDC), lead animator Jay Hosfelt described how Epic is going about their new project. No title or release date was mentioned, but character models and concept art from the new project was shown."

I want this game NOW!!!

It is just a shame to just waste a great concepts seen in tech demos only aka Samaritan, UE4 Elemental and Infiltrator demos. They have the great profiles to give birth to outstanding games (unlike some other retraded demos...cough Ruby...cough). Gears Of War just started as a tech demo of UE3.

That Infiltrator demo definitely needs to become a game. I could really get into playing as that character, and the environments looked awesome.

I agree that the Infiltrator demo was awesome and has a lot of potential to be expanded into a game.

[HacSawJimThugin]

Totally agree. I wonder why these demos never become full games, I mean the concept behind Samaritan is freaking sweet and gamers across the globe would love play it as opposed to watching a teaser demo.

It's hard to believe that devs don't realize this and I just wish they give us what we want instead of playing with our emotions.

Same here it looks epic

[mezati99]

looks very interesting

[Roccetarius]

This definitely screams Samaritan, so it'll be interesting to see what's on the table.

[Plagasx]

I believe they did the same thing with teasing the first Gears. They showed off the UE3 tech demo using one of the Locusts... Makes sense they do the same for Samaritan.

i remember seeing this game at e3. its good that there finally going to work on this game.

[xfear2diex]

do it epic games

[ddkshah]

And as usual Sony will probably sit on their asses while M$ buys exclusive rights for Epic's new ip.

[BOLO]

^Precisely this. Funny how Epic touts the power of PS4 being able to run Unreal 4 but then goes to suck coins from M$FT's money machine.

[nerdman67]

I remember this. It looked awesome.
Something like this would be nice, but somebody needs to get on to finishing Prey 2 before I explode

[HacSawJimThugin]

Yea buddy, that gameplay demo was awesome. Definitely would like to see Prey 2 happen.
