The Unreal Engine, which has been built within Epic Games, is the single most used video game engine in today's releases. Currently being built upon in the labs at Epic Games is the next iteration of the Unreal Engine, which will be the Unreal Engine 4. In the presence of this technology, Epic Games has a designated idea of what the next generation of consoles need to be able to provide in order to deliver the type of performance that they are building their engine for.
With this being said, Epic Games has recently caught a glimpse of what the specs for next-gen consoles, PS4 and Xbox 720, will look like. In response, they have stated that they are not going to be enough to provide the type of performance that they are building their next engine for, and are pushing Sony and Microsoft to put more performance into their next systems. Below, you will find a quote that was given by Epic Games previously that implied what type of performance they wanted from next gen console. Sadly, it has appeared that, as Epic Games has recently been shown the specs for these consoles, that they will not be living up to expectations.
So all this console stuff, why is important for us PC gamers? Well if are honest a lot of PC games are cross platform products. For a long while PC games were being limited by the old hardware of the consoles. In the last year or so we have seen the rise of games where the PC version is higher spec to the console version. Well if Epic Games are right this is a trend may continue. If the next gen consoles are not the great leap we were expecting, then return of top end PC gaming, with the PC being the clear top dog.
