Support NeoGAF

[LegendofDragoonLives]

Going by the (Japanese) phrasing, it sounds like the fact that (the AAA title) uses UE4 is what will be announced, not necessarily that an entirely new title will be announced.

That's rather disappointing then, it could even be a game that's already been shown like FF7. :\

That seems likely.

When Did Epic get a Japan branch and what games have come out that studio?

IIRC, it's more of a support studio to help facilitate use of UE4 for Japanese game development.

I would assume its purpose is as a sales/support office for Japanese studios using Unreal Engine.

This.

 

[Elios83]

Maybe it's FFVII remake.
They said first footage this winter, which could be as early as PSX.
And looking at what Square Enix is doing I think they'd choose UE over Luminous to speed up development and lower costs.

 

[antitrop]

I've assumed FFVIIR was going to be UE4 since it was announced.

 

[Newtype-001]

Level 5's PS4 game?

What i was thinking.

 

[Nirolak]

Epic has support/engine development studios in Korea, Japan, the UK, and Seattle that don't produce games.

Only Chair (Utah) and their main studio (North Carolina) make games since People Can Fly was spun back off.

This is so iconic. Nomura has a knack for this kind of stuff.

 

[KingBroly]

I thought we knew FF7r was using UE4.

 

[wmlk]

I thought we knew FF7r was using UE4.

We didn't. We were only told that it wasn't using Luminous.

 

[Father_Brain]

I thought we knew FF7r was using UE4.

AFAIK, just that it's not using Luminous... which makes UE4 the best guess, but it's unconfirmed for now.

 

[Bolivar687]

AFAIK, just that it's not using Luminous... which makes UE4 the best guess, but it's unconfirmed for now.

Probably a safe assumption.

Epic single-handedly resurrecting Japanese AAA development.

 

[Granjinha]

Maybe Warner? Or they're still locked up with 3?

 

[Nirolak]

The rumbling that really drove it, IIRC, was a rumor that CC2 was making it, and they have a UE4 game in development.

I hope he'll have a knack to be totally incompetent in terms of releasing a AAA game like FFXV this time around. I'd like to have it on PS4 for one.

 

[hemo memo]

Nah it can't be that..

 

[Megawarrior]

First thought was Level 5 PS4 game.

 

[DangerMouse]

This is so iconic. Nomura has a knack for this kind of stuff.

Yeah.

 

[DangerMouse]

I hope he'll have a knack to be totally incompetent in terms of releasing a AAA game like FFXV this time around. I'd like to have it on PS4 for one.

Again though, S-E stole his team like 5 times to fix FF13 and FF14 for years at a time...there's practically nothing he could have done.

 

[Philippo]

-FFVII Remake
-Level 5 New IP
-Resident Evil 7

One of these i suppose.

I don't trust his video game Director skills, especially for a game the size of FFXV and probably FFVIIR. The man can make some stupidly good trailers, though.

 

[Son Of Sparda]

Hoping for DMC5, expecting RE7.

 

[Brew124]

I'm hoping Level 5 shocks all of us with a gigantic, gorgeous RPG using UE4.

Yes please.

 

[fertygo]

DMC 5 and RE7

Believe, and yes I knew I listing 2 title, shut up.

 

[DaSorcerer7]

DMC 5 and RE7

Believe, and yes I knew I listing 2 title, shut up.

I take it Panta Rhei is dead then?

 

[Sesha]

I take it Panta Rhei is dead then?

We don't have any official confirmation, but there is a lot of nails in that coffin already.

 

[Parsnip]

FF7 Remake seems like a lock for this one.

 

[Shin-Ra]

Knack 2: Knacker.

Spoiler

Always amused me people thought the first game was UE4.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Alright. Looks like Epic in general been on low for game making. What was their last game? I guess they're not concerned with making games when they can just sit back and make money off of Unreal Engines 3 and 4. It looks like a lot more Japanese companies are on board this time around.

 

[Black Duke]

Sony Bend new IP.


At PSX.

Spoiler

maybe

 

[Stallion Dan]

RE7 at PSE?

 

[Bolivar687]

They have Ark (external), Fortnite, and the Unreal Tournament pre-alpha up on their PC client. I think they're trying to transition to the current PC model of constantly-evolving free to play games, while making most of their money on licensing the engine. It's probably more in line with Tencent, who has a controlling interest in them I believe.

 

[LegendofDragoonLives]

Sony Bend new IP.

Spoiler

maybe

Honestly, I'm hoping that shows up at PGW.

This is not "sitting back and making money off": Unreal Engine 4 Roadmap. I do like working with the engine, but it's more than fair that they are concentrating on that. They still do have both their game studios working on game projects though (Fortnite, UT, unannounced Chair project).

 

[Ombala]

RE7 at The Playstation event

 

[Trevelyan]

Yeah, I'm definitely going with Sony Bend. We know it's using UE4, and they're due for an announcement, considering it's been close to 4 years since U:GA shipped.

Most likely Bend at PSX.

 

[GnawtyDog]

Sounds like PSX....
