E3 will be “really exciting”, says Epic Games

Epic Games president Mike Capps has told GamesBeat the developer will have a “really exciting” E3.

“We might have a new [game] coming,” said Capps. “I think E3 is going to be really exciting for fans of Epic.

Already, Epic has a game in development from Polish developer People Can Fly, with the title to be published by EA. It was confirmed recently for Q4 FY11, between January-March 2011.

And then there’s the obvious one: Gears of War 3. The last on that was at TGS last year, when Capps said the next time we’d see a Gears game would be the next-gen. He retracted his comments soon after.

Other than that – and previous comments by Cliff Bleszinski, where he was prepping to reveal “awesome shit” when “the weather’s warm” – nothing has been hinted at by the studio.

E3 takes place on June 15-17 in Los Angeles.

Thanks, D’Toid.

Did you guys run the story of the Unreal Engine 4 probably not being able to run on the next batch on consoles according to Mark Rein?

They will find a way to make Unreal Engine 4 on the console afterall how much of their revenue is Console based. Unless Epic wants Crytek or ID to be the new multiplatform engines.

He was clearly being ridiculous; “It’ll be soooooo POWERFUL…” Kind of thing. I hear he went on to say that it would totally win a fight against Superman.
