What I don't get is why "Unreal Engine 5" would be revealed in a consumer-facing way. Wouldn't it make more sense to reveal it to developers at GDC or something?

Fair enough, just seems odd. Like, can't imagine what it could be that would be worth hyping up that we haven't heard about yet, unless there are some games attached to that are showing off the tech.
Yeah who knows, I'm glad we'll know tomorrow and not a month from now. If you take all the little hints at face value it could be anything.
An engine reveal just seems too technical to warrant this much hype and build up
Maybe if a big game using it was announced at the same time

shinobi - next gen
jeff grubb -future tech
klobrille -not directly xbox/ps5 related
klobrille -indirectly impacts xbox studios (unreal is used by over half the studios)
-impacts industry as a whole (implied through the other hints)
NateDrake/Jahranimo -everyone will be excited (will should have been *should*)
Jahranimo -something about the implications
(side note: Jahranimo is not an insider, Natedrake is unknown (to me), but rest have connections for sure)
Star Citizen is switching engines and needs another billion dollars of crowdfunding.
Is there concrete evidence pointing to this being Unreal 5 or are people just deducing it from piecing together everything we know
Yup, and Jeff knew about the birdman announcement.
A UE5 showcase is just insanely meh to me.....unless it dives insanely deep into new games. But it being used on older or already released games to show what kind of patches to expect on XSX......yes, its cool......but would definitely be along the Jeff lines of for sure not E3 worthy.
But the way Geoff's hyping it, man so many are going to be disappointed then lol and Tony Hawk 1+2 remaster was the bigger announcement honestly in terms of gaming.
Engine = more important and industry wide application is great
As for the actual gaming/consumer side = meh
I'm not sure an engine is exactly hype worthy at the consumer level, but it is definitely important and has industry wide implications. It honestly fits the bill
perhaps a return of Steam machines? Fits in with all the discussions AND Alienware's tweet. They were one of the first with Steam machines last time around.
There will never be a Unreal Engine 5, unless in a century. I explained why and 100% sure of it, cus it is a fact. Just forget the idea.
Edit:
LMAO it seems some are ignoring my posts by concidence or on purpose.
Edit: LMAO I think I'll make the list bigger. XD

How many times will Geoff disappoint you till you learn lol
Steam machine are probably bottom of the barrel when it comes to hype in Era, I rather get an engine announcement or something. PC peeps prefers building out their own, console peeps don't care.
Nah, because no one called that "important". He's singling out tomorrows announcement.
I've set back my expectations.
Thank you! I never understand those schedules living in Europe.Countdown:
My guess on this is that they will introduce laptops with the Nvidia Super MaxQ gpu.
Ignore me if you can't/don't want to answer. But are people setting themselves up for disappointment being that hyped?
If next-gen tech demos that gives you games like Hellblade 2, Mara and hopefully SCORN (according to latest trailer and not the 2016 gameplay quality), then yes you should be excited to see what will come for next-gen using NEXT-GEN UE4 .
Oh I don't give much of a damn about NEXT GEN, I just wanna see game reveals.
I don't know if you will get a proper game reveal then. I hope they will show one at least like HB2 or Mara or SCORN or anything else, that is if this is next-gen UE4 related.
No it's going to be Rock n' Roll Racing 2. Blizzard is renaming themselves back to Silicon & Synapse.
At this point... maybe? Expectation seems to be all over the place by people.
I can only speak for myself. But I'm excited for it.
As someone who gets really jazzed about E3 time, I actually prefer it for this reason, too. So many interesting, smaller titles that can only afford to get 3 seconds in a hype reel for a major presser are lost in the lights and noise of the big AAA games. And I get it, most consumers want the big AAA games. I want both without having to scour to find information on the smaller stuff.
What's really lost, and this is major, are the opportunities for smaller indie studios to show their games to potential publishers, since everyone is in one place.
Yeah, it makes sense. People expecting a big console reveal (PS5) are gonna be so disappointed in 10 hours.
Cool, thank you. There are always some insane expectations. But atleast it really could be exciting. Thanks!
i doubt anyone seriously expects to see a PS5 reveal.
Because I like it when two birds get hit with the same stone -
What if tomorrow's announcement is a remaster of Mafia II in Unreal Engine 5?

Yep :D
Damn you for making me look at that again. I'm so unsatisfied.
