GDC would be perfect to show that off for PC devs. I doubt that M$ will be showing off that much. E3 is stil where 90% of all announcements will be made like usual. Major announcements will be during their press conference.
Valve, will show off early demos of their new engine.
Nvidia, will show off the 9800GTS, and 9800 GTX.
Havok will have their new engine shown off.
Sony, will just show trailers and maybe have a few demos of games just to update people on progress. Major announcements will be during their press conference anyways. Will release new and improved dev tools.
Nintendo's Major announcements will be during their press conference.
AMD, who cares..
Intel - QX9770!!!
Epic - UE4 |
I agree with almost everything, except I must say that there is little chance that Epic will move away from the Unreal 3 engine for a couple of years; the most likely place to find a new engine would be from id because the Doom 3 engine is getting pretty old and wasn't that impressive when it was released. |
Unreal Engine 4 has been in development since UE3 was completed. Epic always does it. After Unreal Engine 1 was done they shifted to UE2 then UE3 and now UE4. UE4 might take another 2 years to complete but there is no reason why they cant show something off. They will want to build hype about it and show they can beat the Crytek engine. |
I fully believe they will make an UE4 but I doubt it's going to get officially mentioned at GDC. They are still working on UE3 and they just released the UE3 engine, why would they take away steam from it? |
well.. its already being made.. but ya doubt it will be at GDC but we will have to see. That is a massive booth jsut to show of UT3 on PC/PS3/360 and announce GeOW2. They have to have something else there.
