Epic Games Store - PAX West 2019 Showcase
- Thread starter Shard Shinjuku
- Start date
This just makes me incredibly happy that developers of games like Manifold Garden (holy shit, finally!), Ooblets, Eternal Cylinder and Watam get a guaranteed payday and don't have to worry about financing their project for a while, while also getting some pretty good promotion in the process. These people really deserve it.
I'm beyond happy to know that The Eternal Cylinder is being made into a full game. Has been one of the most trippy and interest concept from Ace Team and I'm stoked to see it fully realized.
Check out the trailer and it's concept one from 4 years ago, it's amazing.

It's a legitimate shame this is probably a permanent exclusive to EGS.

God I hope they play the good trailer for The Cycle. The garbage we got at Gamescom did that game a disservice
User warned: trolling
A few of these look interesting. It IS good to see Epic zeroing in on more obscure titles, as opposed to those on everyone's "Top 20/30" lists.
Hopefully the year-long Early Access on EGS lets the devs work out all the bugs for when the games get a mainstream release. I'll put some of these on my GOG/Steam wishlists as they get closer to release dates.

Solid lineup. Can't wait for Ooblets, and that Manifold Garden game also look pretty interesting.
Alto definitely has my ear. Sort of curious about Wattam after someone recommended it to me, but only by name.
Tangential, but I had a weird glitch the other week where Dauntless wasn't recognizing my controller (which did fix itself), but I've been having a good experience with the EGS/launcher for some time now. These highlight promos are a good use of their "airtime."

Yeah that trailer is a whole lot better, wow. Wonder if they have plans for a console release after the early access phase.
wait, why would it not just be a one-year timed exclusive like nearly everything else? Am I missing something?
edit: confirmed to be a standard one-year exclusivity deal
The press release that Manifold Garden put out is probably the best I've seen this handled, I look forward to supporting them after.
I feel the same way.
Their FAQ says there is probably going to be a console release.
It was never announced for steam. So it's most likely never going to be on it. There's also no steamdb entries listed for this company.
Seeing Wattam there hurts even though I kind of knew it'll be EGS cuz it's being published by Annapurna. I mean I know some of these safety nets make it easier for devs like the Manifold Garden one to actually put out their game without any fears so kudos for that.
However just like all EGS releases, I'll see them after a year's time from their release.

see my edit above. In any case, that doesn't mean much of anything; a substantial minority of Steam games don't get Steam pages until they're pretty close to release
To answer the question: none, because exclusivity is bad for the PC space. They all look like impulse purchase 'play for an hour and never again' titles anyways, IMO. That's pretty much why I slowed down my how many games I purchase a year, there's just too much stuff coming out of varying quality.
Really happy for the developers in here. It's so nice to see them finally get support after all these years.
What? The Alto games are available on the Windows Store. I've played (and have achievements) for the first game on my PC.
Edit: Although now I look at it it looks like the sequel, Alto's Odyssey, didn't come to Windows. I played that one on iOS. So I guess, technically, 'The Alto Collection' is coming to PC for the first time. Just kinda weird.
Is there an actual event for these or is this just a video showcasing titles coming to EGS? Wondered if we'd hear any news at PAX like release dates or whatever.
