Unreal Engine 4 Running On Next-Gen Systems – People Will Be Shocked When They See It – Mark Rein

Published on February 10, 2012, by Ernice Gilbert - Posted in News, PS4, Xbox 720 4

Are you ready for next gen? If not, you’d better fall in line because according to Epic Games’ vice president Mark Rein, Unreal Engine 4 is now running on next generation consoles. He said people will be “shocked” when they see it.

That’s what he said while speaking at the DICE summit. He said Unreal 4 is now running on a variety of hardware,”including systems we can’t name yet”. Rein also confirmed to G4TV that the engine will be revealed no later than this year.

My take on this is that Epic Games has the new engine running on Xbox 720 and PlayStation 4. Now I truly can’t wait for 2013. Seriously.

What we saw wasn’t the whole. I’m really excited about next gen.

I’m in the procces of putting my ps3 up on craigslist, I have parts lined up to build a deccent gaming PC. I’m curious do you guys think that next Gen consoles will be as good or better than crysis with all the fancy mods and textures? I know companies are going to hype the hell out of it but I really don’t want to buy a ps4 or Xbox 720

Linglingjr: Okay, sell the PS3, save and then wait a while. There’s no need to rush – this isn’t Battlefield 3 Seriously, though, sell the console and save the money, then wait to see what MS and Sony are offering. If they fail to bring what was advertised, then go for a decent gaming rig.
