A bunch of Epic Games stuff with the long rumored Gears of War Exile officially canceled, an exclusive game being made for the PC, and no chance at a sequel for Bulletstorm.
While only rumored to be in development as a Kinect title, Cliffy B confirmed at PAX East Hears of War Exile was actually in development. The project was recently cancelled with the main reason rumored to have been the development team struggling to get the Gears of War style to work with the Kinect system.
Also announced at PAX East was the company is developing a game exclusively for the PC with the potential of being the debut game for the Unreal 4 Engine. A few rumors are pointing to either the tech demo of Samatarian could be made into a full game or a new game in the Unreal Tournament series.
According to Mike Capps, president of Epic Games, a sequel to Bulletstorm was in development until it was recently scrapped in favor of a new unannounced project. People Can Fly studio was developing the game for Epic Games until the project got cancelled.
Quote:
"We thought a lot about a sequel, and had done some initial development on it, but we found a project that we thought was a better fit for People Can Fly," he said. "We haven't announced that yet, but we will be announcing it pretty soon."
"I'd love to go back [to Bulletstorm]," he added. "I think there's more to do with Bulletstorm. Heck, it kind of ended wanting more. I'd love to see another project, but right now we don't have anything to talk about."
