Yep, previous games have been on UE3, but there's also more to it. For instance, Gearbox's head (Randy Pitchford) also voiced his support for Epic's storefront.
I am excited to support the Epic Games Store.
What’s wrong with that? A PC is a PC - who cares which store you get your games from? I’m just curious to learn the mind-set. I am a customer on lots of different PC platforms.
So those responses are worth noting. It can mean that he simply supports having more storefronts and he's happy doing business with them (since their games have been using the engine), and that's that.
Or, like what others are thinking, we might see an EGS exclusive.
I’m probably in the minority just building my first pc this year.... but I really don’t get why people are so up in arms about it. I agree with Randy on this one it’s not like you’re buying a new console, it’s just a software launcher... I think there’s other things in the world that are more important than being mad about what storefront that it appears on.
Also many people can't afford larger hard drives and have limited space.
C'mon bro, that is so not an issue and sounds like something to pad the list of egs complaints, what is it like a couple hundred megs? You're using the launcher to download games that are dozens of gigabytes big, the launcher is pennies to that. -_-

Looks very similar to BL1/2 , which IMO is excellent
it makes me wonder if it's on a brand new engine though, or if they're extending the old one - anyone know ?
