Unreal engine 4 info, consoles first, pc later....

[Gazz]

TG Daily: Let’s talk about your game visions for the future and the next Unreal Engine? Where is EPIC going with the Unreal Engine 3.5 and 4.0?

Sweeney: The Unreal engine is really tied to a console cycle. We will continue to improve Unreal Engine 3 and add significant new features through the end of this console cycle. So, it is normal to expect that we will add new stuff in 2011 and 2012. We're shipping Gears of War now; we're just showing the next bunch of major tech upgrades such as soft-body physics, destructible environments and crowds. There is a long life ahead for Unreal Engine 3. Version 4 will exclusively target the next console generation, Microsoft's successor for the Xbox 360, Sony's successor for the Playstation 3 - and if Nintendo ships a machine with similar hardware specs, then that also. PCs will follow after that.

Also, we continuously work on transitions, when we go through large portions of the engine. We completely throw out parts and create large subsystems from the ground up, while we are reusing some things that are still valid.

And everyone tries to say that UT3 was made for the PC and not the other way. That damned game is so obviously made for the consoles it isn't even funny!

the problem is that Unreal is a PC game but they made it for console...and then cried that noone would buy that shit XD

[BuffaloChips]

The first three were made for the PC. UT3 was designed for a console in its entirety! Just look at the shitty interface. Hell, there wasn't even a favorites option in the server browser before this last update. Plus it doesn't even work as well as the ones in '03 and '04. At least with them you could see who was playing on the server. None of that requesting friends shit like you have to do now, etc.

the problem why peope dont buy those high profile PC games anymore is because they arn't PC games but shitty console ports. PC gamers want PC games...
