Hey Edge, another example of a story ignoring Wii U tech, but that's not what is interesting.

CVG said:

Epic Games hopes to publicly show off its next-generation Unreal Engine 4 technology - which will likely power games on the next PlayStation and Xbox consoles - later this year.


That's what the studio told assembled press at GDC yesterday, adding that the decision to put its UE4 demo behind closed doors - and viewing developers under non-disclosure agreement - at the conference "wasn't our decision".



It's previously been said that the next-gen Unreal Engine will require ten times the power of Xbox 360 to run.


On the subject of next-generation hardware, Epic VP Mark Rein told CVG he expects new consoles to "blow us all away," but added that the Unreal Engine studio is "constantly pushing" platform holders to prep more advanced hardware.


"There's no end in sight for what we can do with unlimited technology. So we're always going to be pushing and I'm sure we'll be pushing for more than is possible to give," he said.


Yesterday PSM3 and Xbox World, in conjunction with Codemasters' lead artist Mike Smith and Dead End Thrills techmaster Duncan Harris, posted screenshots of what PS4 and Xbox 720 games could look like.

So, another company made Epic keep UE4 behind closed doors due to a Non Disclosure Agreement. Very interesting, a hardware manurfacturer either console or PC card maker?

Also it was rumoured that Epic made the Wii U Garden tech demo, I think Mark Rein later confirmed that they helped Nintendo with some of the tech demos. And we heard earlier that UE4 was in development for next gen platforms including Wii U.

With E3 around the corner, I think the NDA was to keep something back for an E3 reveal for one of the big 3 console makers.

Tech needs to be cutting edge or consoles will lose to Apple? WTF does Apple do? Apple has nothing to do with the gaming market, this is some moronic boogeyman they created. No one is losing shit to apple.

Mark Rein thinks that the console industry should and will, stick to the razor blade model.

""The only way they're going to go away is if they don't stay true to what they are. The console gaming experience is about delivering something that's way out past the bleeding edge and subsidising it through the software royalty model - just like Apple does with the phones. It's not that much different."



He added: "That's the console gaming model, and if you don't do that - if you don't stretch just far enough, you don't just have enough of a difference to make people want to take the leap with you... it all falls down.



"Now, I don't think that's going to happen - I think the console guys are going to blow us all away. But as you say, we're on them."

Also from Totilio at Kotaku:

"The state of things is represented by Epic Games' 2012 version of their show-off session. Every year at GDC, the company's top marketing guy Mark Rein shows a roomful of reporters Epic's latest Unreal graphics tech and talks about how wonderful a toolset it is for game developers big and small to use to make attractive games. But this year, Rein wouldn't show us Epic's best tech. The company's demonstration for Epic's Unreal Engine 4 was for non-press—just for life-signing-away game makers. UE4 is meant to help make games for gaming consoles none of us owns today. Shielded from that, the press got to see another iteration of last year's dazzling "Samaritan" demo for Unreal Engine 3, a better-looking-than-anything-we-have-now Blade-Runner-style sequence that both shows where Epic thinks next-gen gaming should go but is capable of running on today's engine. The point, Rein explained to me, is that, if you were making a game for next-gen systems that you'd also want running on current systems, you would still go with UE3 and try for Samaritan-level sizzle in the next-gen versions of the game. But if you were going purely next-gen, you'd go with UE4. But forget the gens, because Rein was up there showing Unreal Tournament III running in Flash in a web browser, a la Farmville. And he's saying Epic wants to get Samaritan running in that. Somehow. And that is where gaming is going."

Also from Gametrailers:

""We're doing [Unreal Engine 4] and I don't think anybody else is doing anything as incredible as that," Rein boasted. A developer who had seen Epic's UE4 demo was sitting nearby, eavesdropping. He vigorously nodded his head in agreement.


"Right? You've seen it?" Rein asked him. That developer gave us his non-verbal impression of Unreal Engine 4 by offering us an eyes-glazed-over, jaw-dropped look.


"UE 4? Look out. Game changer," Rein boasted. "I've said enough.""
