Keighley to host a special showcase and interview on Wednesday

If this is all just to talk about UE5...lol. That may be an important thing in the industry, but 95% of the broad gaming audience will neither know nor care what it means.
ERA's reaction would be Unreal if this ends up being Unity tech demo. Seriously, if this is a engine showcase, I expecting like this:
Unreal logo, tech demo begins, stunning NEXT-GEN graphics.
Tech demo ends.
Remedy logo appears.
Black screen.
FALL 2022.

This feels like that gif where it's a big truck about the crash into several cars and it cuts away right before it hits.
a sizzle reel trailer sounds like something you'd show if you were purposely trying to disappoint as many people as possible
Would be awesome...
Too bad Remedy has its own proprietary engine lol
Dang. I won't be able to watch until after work, but I am psyched for tomorrow. I don't care if everyone else is disappointed with cross gen looking stuff or the quality of the title being shown; if it's even a game and not UE5 or something. I won't be disappointed because I wasn't with the Xbox thing last week and it's video games. And video games are fuckin awesome.
But also, something incredible please
But also, something incredible please
Yet some people are still talking about "you're setting yourselfs up for disappointment, they are not really hyping this up, that won't be something big". Last activity from Jeoff and others is the most accurate definition of hyping videogames related thing up, if not, then what would be? If Jeoff would literally got heart attack because of how crazy the showcase is, and then host the event from the actual hospital? I think all the backlash, if this thing doesn't deliver and is really something small, would be pretty valid.
I picked them because they do stunning graphics and have an Epic publishing deal, but yeah... The main takeaway is that people will think it's just a tech demo and it ends up being a next-gen game.
Where are these hints from?
My guess: Maybe it will be a reveal of Unreal Engine 5 with gameplay premiere from a decent 3rd party game that MS has some exclusivity too.
Seems like big enough. impacts all the industry, future tech, it could make porting certain games to next gen easier, affect MS directly, everyone is excited (even developers)
Edit: Ok I am revising it a bit Unreal Engine 5 reveal that shows a demo of the next Batman game and at the end they say it we just saw real time next gen graphics.
Even that won't. Everyone is whipping us up into a frenzy with the teases, silence, and stretching out of everything. It's been a long time since we got some games info, especially when you consider last E3 was the E3 of everything is 2020.
LoK anything would make my summer.
But there's mere dozens of us who'd care.
It's crazy that the last Batman game ran on Unreal Engine 3, and the next Batman game might run on Unreal Engine 5.
Does Overwatch 2 fit the bill here?
Blizzard's on the list and the game would be pretty big news for everyone if we had a beta/demo release in the next month or so. Plus a confirmation of it coming to next gen consoles (if that hasn't been confirmed already) would be cool. It's something people would care about here but it wouldn't be earth shattering news at E3.

Some tweet from early in the thread. I can't find it but people have been playing a game of telephone all day with all the quotes being thrown around.
Blizzard would announce that kind of thing at Blizzcon. Have they ever announced anything close to E3?
Only mild stuff like Diablo 3 during the PS4 reveal event (February so not close to E3 but we haven't gotten that for PS5 yet). Blizzard itself, not just Activision, is on the Summer Game Feat Phase 1 list so news from them is possible at any time it seems.
The Batman game is UE4. We already know that from job postings three years ago.
I'm glad Jeff tells it like it is. He's looking at this from a gamers standpoint and knows what they would expect and want from an E3. He already knows what tomorrow's announcement will be
To be fair, Keighley always hypes up everything even when it isn't deserved. Every time.
So Batman isn't being shown tomorrow then, unless they switch engines mid-development or something.
Wow.. that brings me down to earth again..
I think it's a game for certain now, not a game engine tech demo or something.
The fact Geoff says "surprise guest " means it's someone we associate with a game or brand, I think. And this someone is sufficient to introduce and showcase the game.
So.. someone in the same vein as Ed Boon and Mortal Kombat?
What if it's Harada and he wants to showcase something Tekken orientated.. like a free update with a whole lot of stuff, like MK11 is getting later this May?
My brain keeps going back to PS5, but surely they wouldn't be showing the box nor the UI yet, right? Nor would they show off their own games ahead of their big event. Maybe it's something like PSNow adopting a more GamePass-like model?
Edit: I don't actually believe that's what it is. I just don't know what PS5 thing Sony would even show right now.

Which makes the THPS thing even weirder. Because it sure as hell seemed like Keighley was trying to minimize the hype at all cost.
I'm just happy he's hyping something tomorrow instead of something in fucking July
Definitely puts things in perspective and lowers the hype level for whatever is happening tomorrow.
BUT at the same time, maybe this is a better system than stuffing all announcements into a 2-day span, therefore cannibalizing any chance mid-level and independent game studios have of holding the spotlight.
From people that seem to know what they're talking about in this thread it sounds like it would be really weird to announce Unreal Engine 5 since they just released an update to Unreal Engine (4.49) and apparently Epic has said they would just continue on with that naming convention and there doesn't seem to be some world changing tech that would warrant a jump to UE5. A lot of the next gen tech like ray tracing is already supported in UE4.
Regardless, if it's tech related it's going to have to be a big deal unless it has a big third party game like Batman or Harry Potter tied to it.
The update is 4.25 and the reason they updated it with next-gen support is because the next-gen consoles need to support UE4 to run games that were built on it. Including current games on backwards compatibility AND cross-gen games.
Epic isn't expecting every developer to drop UE4 support immediately and jump to 5, they announce the engine now so people know it'll be available when they're ready to make the jump.
Okay my bad, again I'm not very knowledgable just reading some comments that were convincing. What could be different about UE5 from 4 at this point that would warrant a new engine?
I imagine that's what Epic wants to show off tomorrow.
So wtf is it then because half are convinced it's UE5 and the other half aren't lol this is a rollercoaster.
