Epic Revealing Unreal Engine 4 Later This Year

Epic Revealing Unreal Engine 4 Later This Year

12:10 - Sunday 12 February 2012 by Kevin Parrish - source: G4TV

Unreal Engine 4 will be revealed sometime this year, says Epic VP Mark Rein.

G4TV reports that Unreal Engine 4 will be revealed sometime this year. The announcement was made by Epic Games vice president Mark Rein at the DICE 2012 summit while he was talking to G4TV about Epic founder Tim Sweeney's contribution to the gaming world.

"People are going to be shocked later this year when they see Unreal Engine 4 and how much more profound an effect it will have," Rein said.

Epic is expected to reveal more information about Unreal Engine 4 later today at DICE 2012. In the meantime, additional reports are claiming that Mark Rein is saying that Unreal Engine 4 is already up and running on a variety of hardware "including systems we can't name yet."

It's easy to speculate that Epic has Unreal Engine 4 running on an iPad 3, the Wii U and Microsoft's Next Xbox SDK. Heck, it might even be up and running on Apple's rumored iTV, but highly unlikely any kind of PlayStation 4 is in the picture (could be wrong though).

If Epic dishes out a press release sometime today, we'll post it right here, so stay tuned.

Así que igual sabemos más dentro de poco acerca de la nueva generación de consolas.

Dejo tambien un par de vídeos para los negacionistas del auto aim en consolas - que creo que aún hay alguno por ahí adelante:

Así como este otro explicando los 3 tipos diferentes de ayuda al apuntar que implementan al utilizar un pad:

Así como podéis ver, están haciendo trampas 3 veces, y aún con esas, se sigue jugando mejor con ratón + teclado que con pad. Por fin encontré el artículo al respecto de los que probaron a dejar jugar juntos a los usuarios de PC y de consolas: Fue el equipo de desarrollo del Shadowrun.
rahulsood: Console Gamers Get Killed against PC Gamers

There was a project that got killed at Microsoft. This project was designed to allow console gamers and PC gamers to interact and battle over a connected environment. Personally I wish it would have stayed the course. I've heard from reliable sources that during the development they brought together the best console gamers to play mediocre PC gamers at the same game... and guess what happened? They pitted console gamers with their "console" controller, against PC gamers with their keyboard and mouse.

The console players got destroyed every time. So much so that it would be embarrassing to the XBOX team in general had Microsoft launched this initiative. Is this why the project was killed Who knows, but I'd love to hear from anyone involved --- what happened?

Those of us who have been in the gaming business for over a decade know the real deal. You simply don't get the same level of detail or control as you do with a PC over a console. It's a real shame that Microsoft killed this -- because had they kept it alive it might have actually increased the desire of game developers and gamers alike to continue developing and playing rich experiences on the PC which would trickle down to the console as it has in the past.
