Epic's Rein On Next-Gen And Secondhand

Posted by Zonk on Thursday September 22, 2005 @08:33AM from the hard-to-get-a-handle dept.

Computer and Video Games has an interview with Mark Rein, VP of Epic Games. He expounds on Epic's role in the next generation of consoles, along with his opinions on the industry in general, and the sales of secondhand games. From the article: "Unreal Tournament, the original, is still our biggest-selling game ever. Because we sell our games now in instalments, no single instalment is going to sell in the same way as a single game across multiple formats. We're really recapturing a lot of the original, with less jumping around - it went a little crazy with the double and triple jumps. It'll be toned down and a little more skill-based."

You know, and if you had paid some attention, you would have learned that UE4 is indeed in existence, they have already talked about that. Currently only Tim Sweeney doing stuff with it, but it is obviously being worked on for 2 years. And that with UE3 not yet powering any title on the shelves (that I know of). Weird, but true.
