Epic teases mysterious Unreal reveal News

Epic Games has teased the imminent announcement of something new, something "Unreal".
The developer's website showed an Unreal-style logo box underneath the slogan, "It's Unreal. And it's almost here."
That appears to have been removed, as have forum threads discussing the picture on the Epic Games website.
There's no word on what the teaser is for. Could it be a new Unreal Engine? A new Unreal game? Speculate away.

I'm guessing it's more likely to be a tech release of some kind than a game.

I think wizlon is right - it'll be a revamped Unreal for XBLA/PSN/Steam.

Unreal 3 I reckon.
In third person this time ;-) Gears is great but it could easily be part of the same hulking space marine universe as the Unreal series. It wasn't that much of a departure. |

Haha i remember being so excited about Unreal 2, and then forcing myself to finish it even though it was absolutely nothing like the first one. Of all the boring, uninspired space marine characters in games, I think John Dalton takes the crown

@ Wizlon:
+1 for recognising your own faults! Hows about Unreal Tournament: Thru effin' Firefox, yo! ? |

From the looks of the logo it seems like a tech news, like a new engine or something.
But should it be a game and given the history of Epic games that have come out in recent years, I would bet on Unreal 3. UT3 is still quite new. And don't think it will be a completely new unreal IP. Unreal 2 was a disaster right, that did not live up to the phenomenal unreal 1. So the time actually feels ripe to make a new unreal 3. Besides they have been working long time on gears of war 3 right, and who wants to bet on only one horse. They need a new unreal |

"Unreal remake for XBLA built in Unreal Editor 3, I'd buy that for a dollar, 1200msp at the most. "
Fuck yes, even in UE1.0 I'd do that, it still looks fantastic. That first section literally slapped my jaw to the ground and it didn't get up there till the end. The mood in that game was just amazing. The coop was brilliant as well, 8p coop, fighting those big rock throwing monsters was awesome! |

Ok I have to admit that Epic got me instahyped. Even if its a new game or if it will be their next engine's video I cant hide the fact I'll be all over it and Im too much curious already. I do love Epic and their work even though I wish they had released like they always used to, an Unreal 3 with their UE3 release. So now the possibilities are UE+, Unreal title, Unreal title remake. ( Not a new IP due to the "its unreal and almost here" website teaser )
I dont remember if in their past statement about next Gears of War title, did they say that it will be in next gen consoles or they only said that it will be in their next gen UE? Cause it does make some big difference as in what to expect. Damn you Epic. Just spill the damn beans already and tell me what this is about.

I think that's kinda obvious... its GEARS OF UNREAL WAR TOURNAMENT 4.
jk Almost certainly Unreal Engine 4 |

Disagree completely. The campaign mode in UT3 was just variants of the diferent online modes on different maps unlike the great camaign in Gears of war. The online mode was ok, but to often the matches included bots and that is never fun imo. edit : and i forgot. Probably Unreal Engine 4.

Unreal Tournament 3 was the greatest UT since the original, all the more shame that nobody played it. And a shame that the interface for configuring a game was so damned unfriendly.
Unreal 2 was very mediocre, which is a shame as it looked amazing and was awesome - the inbetweeny bits on your ship were great, though I will admit I didn't see much of the briefings as I was crouched on the floor admiring the chick's butt. |

Tim Sweeney said recently that there are no plans for a UT sequel any time soon:

I'd be well up for a new Unreal game, I enjoy the setting and with a potentially new engine too that could be great. No more Unreal Tournament for a while though please, it's a tired series.

I hope that it's an unreal engine. I like it, and would like to see what it's like with a complete overhaul.

Everyone should lighten up and be a bit more optimistic... whatever it is, I'm sure it'll be ace... or even, "epic". God, that was the most terrible pun I've thought up in ages.

I reckon it might even be a generic FPS with shiny graphics. OR!!! A way of making averagely scripted generic FPS with shiny graphics.
Either way, gaming's future is secure |

@Electrolite: Or RPGs (Mass Effect) or driving games (Wheelman) or MMOs (Vanguard, APB).
