No UT games in the works

No Unreal Tournament games in the works, says Epic boss.



No sequel in sight for long-dormant multiplayer FPS series


Epic Game's long-dormant multiplayer FPS series Unreal Tournament will not be making a comeback anytime soon, studio founder Tim Sweeney told GDC attendees on Wednesday.

Unreal Tournament, an arena-based shooter, was one of the most prominent PC and multi-platform console games in the early 2000s, and the flagship series for Epic's Unreal Engine. Yet there have been no all-new games in the franchise since 2007's Unreal Tournament III.

"We're not [planning on] shipping an Unreal Tournament game," Sweeney said during a GDC panel when quizzed on the series.

"We have a lot of nostalgia for the game but we're actually not developing anything in the Unreal game universe at all at the moment.

"We've announced Fortnite... That's a game we'll be talking about later. We don't have anything to show you here at GDC," he said.

"We're developing that project and there are several other projects that aren't announced yet that are being developed with Unreal Engine 4," Sweeney concluded.

Epic used its GDC panel today to announce an "entirely new" business model for Unreal Engine 4, which will offer access to its tools and complete C++ source code via a subscription model.

Developers can sign up for UE4 for PC, Mac, iOS and Android by paying $19 per month, plus 5% of gross revenue resulting from any commercial products built using the engine.

Bueno no mucha cosa nueva, simplemente confirmaron que por el momento no tienen ni la menor intención hacer nada que tenga que ver con la saga Unreal, y que en cambio tienen muchos otros proyectos que usan el Unreal Engine 4.

Si no sacaban nuevo UT al menos podrían haber revitalizado el 99 o 2k4 onda Quake Live, estaría muy copado, pero bueno, paciencia.

No habla solo de Unreal Tournament sino también de Unreal.
Después que se les fue Cliff Bleszinski y Rod Fergusson de Epic no se quien podra llevar unreal, la mayoria de mappers del original Unreal no estan mas, el que queda de UT conocido es Steve Polge que es el programador que hizo los bots de UT.
Bleszinski hablo de un cambio de cultura dentro de Epic en una ocasión luego de que partió, aunque también arremetió contra el PC Gaming y ahora quiere hacer un Arena Shooter de PC.

Yo lo que ley de Cliffy B es que se habia obsesionado con el RUST y el Minecraft y que queria explotar los conceptos de como la comunidad responde a esos juegos para hacer un juego jamas antes visto. El loco es medio versero, pero no por nada es un de los desarrolladores mas jovenes y exitosos, tiene terrible cabeza, la tiene que emplear bien nomas. Lo que si no te banco es que saque un kickstarter mañana

El problema no es el UT, el genero está muerto.

Me encantaría ver un UT nuevo, pero pensado para la PC, sin pretensiones de vender 20 millones copias.
Si algo aprendieron del UT3 es que era demasiado pro para las consolas y demasiado pete para los fans de unreal, en PC

Algun indie podria agarrar el engine y hacer algo "similar" onda como se hizo con el warsow

Cliff Bleszinski has an idea for his next game: He wants to make a first-person arena shooter on Windows PC, he said yesterday on Pointless, the podcast from former Attack of the Show host Kevin Pereira.

Bleszinski made a name for himself as a game designer at Epic Games, where he worked for two decades on franchises such as Jazz Jackrabbit, Unreal and Gears of War before leaving the company in October 2012. He said on the podcast that he had to "start fresh" after departing the studio, but this past August, he began teasing his next project on his Twitter account with cropped pieces of concept art.

"I have a slide deck, I have a pitch, I have concept art, I know pretty much what I want to do," Bleszinski told Pereira. "It will be a PC experience that will hearken back to a certain type of game that we cut our teeth on, if you know what I'm saying."

When asked about the genre, Bleszinski said the game is a first-person shooter, but not the type of first-person shooter that's popular these days — "a lot of these kids playing Call of Duty, I don't think they know what a proper arena shooter is," he explained.

It's unclear if the arena shooter is the same game that Bleszinski teased in the images. At this point, he doesn't have a development team in place, but he knows that he doesn't want or need a massive studio, and he also isn't interested in going with a traditional publisher-developer arrangement.

"It would require a studio. But as much as I'm impressed with No Man's Sky, you know, that's four people," he pointed out.

"I don't want to work with the old guard, per se," Bleszinski continued. "I'll talk to them, have meetings. But the last thing I need is some mid-level marketing guy telling me that 'well, traditionally, this doesn't sell well, so we're concerned,' and all that. Because they're all rearward-looking, and it just drives me fucking batshit."

El loco lo ha dicho los shooters están en el ADN de el por así decirlo, no creo que le importe generar toneladas de dinero o seguir la linea que siguen todos.

Bue mira, aca todos me van a abuchear seguramente pero yo me encontre con la grata sorpresa de que el Titanfall se parece mas al UT que al COD, de hecho jugar al Titanfall como si fuera cod garantiza que la vas a comer abierto, el movimiento esta muy basado en el UT 2004 y si bien no tenes eso de pegar la LG mientras haces acrobacias igual podes pegar bien mientras corres.
